From a script by British author Nick Hornby (About a Boy), and based on Lynn Barber’s memoir, the film is more than just the story of a bright schoolgirl on the brink of womanhood. It is a gently sketched portrait of a society on the cusp of a new age with an outsider’s eye for the everyday details often missed in the day-to-day of ordinary life. Blending comedy and tragedy, award-winning Danish director, Lone Scherfig shapes this coming-of-age story set in early 1960s’ Britain with subtle performances, the understated production style of Dogme 95, and the creative talents of a crew she had never worked with before.]]> http://www.btlnews.com/commentary/director-series/danish-director-blends-comedy-and-tragedy-in-an-education/feed/ 1 http://www.btlnews.com/awards/contender-portfolios/joe-letteri-on-the-visual-effects-of-avatar/ http://www.btlnews.com/awards/contender-portfolios/joe-letteri-on-the-visual-effects-of-avatar/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:19:53 +0000 Scott Essman http://www.btlnews.com/?p=9341 Peter Jackson’s final two films in his Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stephen Sommers’ Van Helsing, and Jackson’s King Kong, Joe Letteri might have faced an even greater challenge with James Cameron’s Avatar. For this newest project, which is winning troves of awards and breaking both worldwide and domestic box office records, Letteri faced supervising effects for a movie that was a predominantly virtual production, with fully-realized computer-generated characters and worlds, on top of being shot in 3D with new camera processes.]]> http://www.btlnews.com/awards/contender-portfolios/joe-letteri-on-the-visual-effects-of-avatar/feed/ 3 http://www.btlnews.com/community/whos-where/electric-picture-solutions-opens-westside-facility/ http://www.btlnews.com/community/whos-where/electric-picture-solutions-opens-westside-facility/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:58:55 +0000 Staff http://www.btlnews.com/?p=9475 http://www.btlnews.com/community/whos-where/electric-picture-solutions-opens-westside-facility/feed/ 0
