Cinemetrics is the amazing bachelor graduation project by Frederic Brodbeck.

The project is about measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.

This is quite the bachelor project!!

He’s selling posters here, and I really want the Top Gun one, but is it worth the dough?

All the awesome people and Frances McDormand with a loudspeaker!!!

Very Short Film of the Day: To celebrate the 190th anniversary of the chronograph, German luxury goods manufacturer Montblanc and advertising agency Leo Burnett Milan invited filmmakers to capture and submit “one-second-long moving pictures” of moments they considered beautiful.

Many responded, and a showreel of 60 hand-picked clips was crafted (above).

There will be two additional qualification rounds, with 20 clips selected from each round. The 60 finalists will be judged by director Wim Wenders, and one lucky beauty beholder will win a trip to the 2012 Berlinale as well as a Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec chronograph.

May the best second win.

It’s amazing how long a second can seem.

Ugghhh this makes me want to make movies so badly!

“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” First Trailer (by upandcomersnet)

The book isn’t always better than the movie. Though it might not be the case with this story, there’s really something about the power of films—the images and the sounds—that imagining can’t match. I got chills when they showed the Towers and started the U2 song. I don’t care if I’m a cornball, I’m excited about this.
