this article is called, "8 steps to successful filmmaking in the winter". and as the title explains, its clearly about 8 helpful steps to successful filmmaking during winter. these steps should help you. the first one is to wear the right clothes. 2nd, bring extra batteries. 3rd, chemical hand warmers. 4th, keep an emergency blanket with you. 5th, acclimate the camera. 6th, underexpose your image. 7th, bring plastic bags. and lastly, drive a 4WD vehicle. that sounded confusing to me at first but if your filming in like a remote place, you want a way to get out and make sure your out.
i thought these tips were pretty interesting and helpful. they are a little common sense but hey, you never know. overall this article was short, sweet, and to the point.

this article is titled, "No Place Like Oz."this about the recent movie The Great and Powerful Oz. they pull back the curtain a little bit to learn about a few of the vfx secrets. this film had the 3rd biggest opening of a movie in march to date. its about the wizards story in the classic movie, The Wizard Of Oz. adding some new digital characters to the story as well and polish Oz for a stereoscopic 3D inspection from todays jaded audiences. the supervisor, Scott Stokdyk says he grew up in kansas himself and always felt a special connection with the movie. the crafting of this movie and the new characters were not easy. the overall look was based on drawings by production artist Michael Kitsche (also helped with alice and wonderland and John Carter).
i saw this movie just a while ago. it was such a good movie. i was really impressed with all the animation and how it all turned out. i thought it would be kind of cheesy and a kids movie so to speak, but it turned out to be really good and worth seeing.

this article is titled, "Guest Commentary: the Life of an Indian Visual Artist". within the past 6 months, two of the biggest US visual effect houses have declared bankruptcy. Digital Domain and Rythum&Hues. the reason why is from outscoring VFX work to countries like India, China and Malaysia. the work goes overseas to to developing countries because they have lax labor laws that offer fewer work rights. every studio has a contract of 6 months. after witch, the studio has a right to keep the artist or remove them according to the projects requirement.
once again. i found this article very boring and uninteresting to read. its sad that all these industries are going out of business. but the article didn't give me enough to really convince me otherwise.

this article is called "Amid Oscars, Fanfare, Visual Effect Industry Faces Difficult Times". its about an industry thats going downhill. in this business they helped hollywood make 10.8 billion last year. now many of the studios that create those effects are barley standing, and heres why. many countries pay millions to subsidize their family industry. those subsidize are just one of the many complex issues facing the industry. its also one of the few non-union trades in the movie industry. these studios are accepting work at insanely low costs and not making a profit. they are barely breaking even to complete work for the movies. there are a lot of studios filling for bankruptcy and artist are loosing their jobs. in some cases, not being paid for the work and hours they already put in.
in my opinion, i thought this article was very boring and could have used a lot more easy to understand information. you really had to think about where this was going. the topic should come easy and clear and this article did not do that for me.
