Film: February 2009 Archives

So, I'm sure most of you know, but The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took a couple VES Awards as well as the Oscar for Visual Effects over the weekend! The team did some great work. Congratulations! Since then, TED has decided to put up their talk of Ed Ulbrich discussing the work behind it. Check it out here. Some great insightful stuff. I didn't get a chance to work on the film, so a lot of what he discusses at TED are things that I wasn't aware of either.

Lots of great, great stuff coming out from the past. Here's something from the Gila Flats Incident in 1959. Do you want to see the rest of these journalist entries that have been unearthed? Check out The New Frontiersman flickr page. There's also compelling video of the Keene Act on Youtube.

On a side note, I'm pretty impressed with the way this is coming together. A woven and deep storyline, compelling characters, and a great alternate history. I'm crossing my fingers.
