Merriam Webster defines a Mosaic as “a surface decoration made by inlaying small pieces of variously colored material to form pictures or patterns. The history of Mosaics is said to have date back to as far as the Mesopotamian temple during the third millennium B.C.  The art was crafted with stones, ivory, and seashells. Mosaic then evolved through the years such as being used in the Middle Ages to decorate churches and other buildings. For churches, they were used to reflect light into the interior parts of the church that were dim. Different medias that Mosaic art is used in include: 2D, 3D, and Digital. Nowadays, modern Mosaic artist can be found via social media. Three artists using the style are: Nick Misani, Jason Dussault, and Isidora Paz Lopez. For those who want to create digital mosaic art on their own, an app that can create mosaic art is Pro Photo Mosaic Creator.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Trailer

Image
As someone who did a previous post on why the movie redesign for Sonic The Hedgehog was much needed, It amazes me how far the movie has come. This went from a film being widely hated due to the design and was being anticipated to be a complete failure as well another punch in the gut for Sonic's history to being one of the few good video game based movies and one of the few examples of the people behind a major movie actually listening to feedback from fans of the property.  It's because of the fact that they listened that the film was as successful as it was at the box office and now has just released the trailer for the sequel that, in a big way, promises to give fans of Sonic what they want to see.  While I liked the first Sonic movie and really appreciated the fact that the crew involved redesigned the character, I couldn't say that I "loved" the movie or consider it to be the high point for video game film adaptations. I felt that title still goes to Detectiv...

The Opening Of Every Animated Movie (Exposition Song)

Image
Just recently I posted about my appreciation for Kevin Temmer and his work.  Well, in addition to his video "What's the matter Martha?", my second favorite video from him is a song that addresses how most animated features tend to start simply titled Exposition Song. Temmer hilariously makes fun of how most animated features tell rather than show and does it via a CG character that has a flat, 2D look to them. Temmer also uploaded his behind the scenes process of crafting this video  and getting the character at a certain angle so he could animate.  Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffLIJrYEJ8 Link to behind the scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV-QCIwvbDg

The Witness and Alberto Mieglo

 One of my favorite shows streaming on Netflix right now is called "Love Death and Robots"  The show, which was originally meant to be a remake of the 1981 anthology film "Heavy Metal", is an adult anthology show consisting of several animated shorts spread across each season. Each short ranges in style and tone but the overall theme of all of the shorts goes back to the title.  I remember watching the first season of the show back when it premiered in 2019. While I loved majority of the shorts, one of them that really stood out to me, visually at least, was the third short of season one: "The Witness".  "The Witness" is a thriller following a woman who witnesses a murder and is spotted by the killer. She is then pursued through the streets of Tokyo as she attempts to escape the killer.  Once separates this short from the others in that season is the distinctive style. The art style is done completely in CG and looks very much like something out ...
