Van Game naar Film

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 12:00 PM PST

Naast mijn werk in het land van televisie speel ik in mijn vrije tijd graag een videogame. Lekker op mijn vrije dag op de bank achter de Xbox en via mijn digitale alter ego de gekste avonturen beleven. Bij gebrek aan klusjes of vrienden die langskomen is gamen een heerlijk tijdverdrijf waarmee ik bijna helemaal weg ben uit het drukke leven van TV land.

Ik zeg bijna, omdat er tegenwoordig over allerlei videogames lange of korte films worden gemaakt. De langere films, zoals Tomb Raider of Resident Evil kennen de meeste mensen wel. Maar de laatste paar jaar is het een trend geworden om over grote succesvolle games waar nog geen film van is gemaakt zelf een fan filmpje te maken. En dat gebeurt voor een groot deel met meer dan alleen een huis, tuin en keuken camera. Voor sommige producties, zelfs als dat maar filmpjes van tien minuten zijn, worden hele teams en vrachtwagens met professionele apparatuur.

Zo kwam producent Wayside Creations op het idee om een korte film te maken over Fallout: New Vegas, een spel waar ik de afgelopen paar weken met plezier flink wat tijd in heb gestoken. Het resultaat is een professioneel gemaakte film die niet onder zou doen voor de kwaliteit van een degelijke Hollywood film. En hoewel je zou verwachte dat bij een dergelijke productie veel gebruik is gemaakt van Chroma Key, is deze film helemaal op locatie opgenomen. Met andere woorden, midden in de woestijn. In de making of is te zien hoe Fallout: Nuka Break geproduceerd is.

Mini Recap: Musical Highs in Music City

Posted: 29 Jan 2011 08:32 AM PST

When American Idol traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for the second time in the show’s history we saw many highs, including the highest and longest note imaginable. We met beauty queens, country crooners, and vocal powerhouses.

In one hour, we saw solid performances from a dental hygienist with “an animated voice,” an ex-couple, a mystery man in a fully enclosed leotard, and quite a few singers whose voices carried in the historic Ryman Auditorium.

Check back for my full recap from Nashville auditions. In the meantime, head over to the Idol Community and join the discussion. Who was your favorite in Nashville?

Steven Tyler Tells It Like It Is

Posted: 26 Jan 2011 04:31 PM PST

Last week, Steven Tyler made his debut as an American Idol judge. He hopped on the phone for a press call to talk about his Idol role, Aerosmith, and more.

Fans have been wondering about Steven’s identity and role as an American Idol judge. The Aerosmith front man said, “I kind of take what I’ve grown up with, which is being a very harsh judge of myself-my own vocals, my own band-and kind of laid that across the talent that comes across my view. I’m not going in there to be a harsh judge or an overly bearing judge. I’m just bringing my Italian on how to work a room, Aunt Phyllis honesty, 40 years that front guy in Aerosmith who’s judged the hell out of himself and kind of made a good career out of it, and with hopes to find some kids in America here for American Idol to take the stage and no more, no less. I think it’s funny. I think there’s love up there you’ll never see-certainly, there’s camaraderie that you haven’t seen in 10 years. I’m really happy that I get along with Randy so well. J. Lo is a fox. She’s also street. She’s also got a good big heart. We’ve seen a lot of people this year and we’ve got our Top 40, so we’re ready to go.”

The rock star likes to live on the edge, so what does this mean for American Idol and Aerosmith? “I’m always ready to take it up a notch…I’m addicted to adrenalin. I still like a … read more

Happy Birthday, Phil Stacey!

Posted: 22 Jan 2011 04:28 PM PST

Season 6 finalist Phil Stacey turns another year older today. We first met Phil during auditions, when his wife gave birth to their second daughter, McKayla, while he was away. Luckily, he hurried back home with a golden ticket in his hand to meet the new bundle of joy. While on American Idol, Phil soared to the Top 6 and got to travel around the nation with the Top 10 finalists on the American Idols LIVE! 2007 Tour.

In spring of 2008, Phil Stacey released his self-titled debut album, which peaked at #8 on the U.S. Country charts. In 2009, Phil switched from country music to Christian music, and released Into the Light, his second album. The album, which was released in August, made it to #27 on the Christian charts.

Lately, Phil has been touring around the country and singing at churches and colleges. On August 20, Phil performed at the Hunger Awareness Benefit Concert in Brandon, Florida.

Phil has several shows lined up for 2011, including a one week trip to military facilities in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Be sure to check out the AI-Insider’s Weekly Scoop blog every Monday to see when Phil will be at a town near you.

Happy Birthday, Phil!
