Behind the Scenes of “Mission Impossible: Fallout”
|
|
|
In previous Mission Impossible movies, action often came first, and
story second. It’s almost ironic then that when writer-director
Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise decided to focus on
character for the sixth movie, Fallout, they would end up with the most
exciting mission ever, wall-to-wall with stunning set pieces in
helicopters, trucks and motorcycles.
|
|
Even a three-man fight in a public restroom is a standout sequence
that rivals the very real danger Cruise put himself in (106 times) to do
a parachute jump from 25,000 feet.
|
|
The highlight is probably the look at the “Long Line”, a sequence that
required the 56-year-old to scale a rope between a moving helicopter,
only to free-fall back down again.

Disney Animation to Premiere First VR Short at Siggraph 2018
|
|
|
|
Walt Disney Animation Studios will debut its first ever virtual reality short
film “Cycles” at SIGGRAPH 2018, and the hope is viewers will walk away
feeling connected to the characters as equally as they will with the VR
technology involved in making the film.
It is an experimental film directed by Jeff Gipson that centers around the
true meaning of creating a home and the life it holds inside its walls. The idea for the film is personal, inspired by Gipson’s childhood spending time with his grandparents and creating memories in their home, and later, having to move them to an assisted living residence.
|
SIGGRAPH attendees will have the opportunity to experience Cycles at
the Immersive Pavilion, a new space for this year’s conference. The
Pavilion is devoted exclusively to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality
and will contain: the VR Theater, a storytelling extravaganza that is part
of the Computer Animation Festival.
