Pic of the day...

Quitn from Ain't It Cool News has been posting a daily behind the scene picture for a while now. Sent in by readers from all over the internet, the pic of the day thread is one of the highlights of reading Ain't It Cool, not just reserved for serious geeks some of these shots are a snapshot into a past world. A successful film might reach a wide audience and in some sense have an immortal quality, these pictures show the workings behind those iconic sequences, I love them.

The only collection I've found (thanks to Mad Dog), other than trawling through the Ain't it Cool archive, is here.

Now see how it was made, he dosen't really go anywhere - brilliant.

I love behind the scenes stuff. This answers a few questions, great how it all starts with practical effects.
Woof.

Busy Pegg...

Hey Doghousers!

As I was cycling past the house used for the exterior shots in 'Spaced' (bit of casual famous landmark dropping there), it made me wonder what one of my favourite funny men was up to these days. Simon Pegg almost played it straight as Scotty in Star Trek, but I want more funnies.

Well next year is set to see the release of 'Paul' a comedy about two sci-fi geeks who embark upon a pilgrimage in a RV to the center of America's UFO heartland: Nevada's infamous Area 51. It's been penned by Pegg and Nick Frost, but Edgar Wright is not at the helm this time, it's a chap called Greg Mottola of Superbad notoriety.

I've no clues as to the comedic quality of the film as yet, but it has quite a cute blog site with some videos watching the progress of filming and some videos that just show those crazy cats larking about. Warning: may make you wish you worked on a film set. Why did I choose graphic design as a profession?



**And it's worth noting that for those of you who are awaiting the third and final installment of the 'Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy', Wright and Pegg are back together next year for 'The World’s End'.
