  • Day & Night


    The awesome slashfilm have an exclusive clip from Pixar’s next short film, Day & Night, directed by Teddy Newton.


    “When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly! Day and Night are frightened and suspicious of each other at first, and quickly get off on the wrong foot. But as they discover each other’s unique qualities–and come to realize that each of them offers a different window onto the same world–the friendship helps both to gain a new perspective.”

    Looks STUNNING.

    How movie stars look important

    PR tricks 101: Revive a flagging career by

    security gather as Al Gore prepared to set
    off to the red carpet for An Inconvenient Truth
    when a bearded man, out for a jog, stumbled
    through the crowd. He diverted into our office
    and asked if we would let him through to the
    hotel. It was Ethan Hawke. On his own
    and very polite.”

    Toilet humour
    Film stars make like hamsters

    Think that the film that opens the Cannes
    Film Festival would lay on all mod-cons for
    its stars? Hmm. The toilet in the VIP area at
    the Robin Hood after-party was an eco-toilet.
    So instead of flushing, you cover over your
    business with a scoop of wood shavings.
    Like a hamster.

    Mark Strong and Eva Longoria were the only
    two stars in the cordoned-off VIP area long
    enough to have needed to take a piss. Should
    they have visited the bog, this is how they
    were instructed to do it.

    From here.

    “… I assumed they had built a physical crawl, dragged through the camera’s field of view to create the effect. Looking closer, though, it’s obvious that it was the camera that moved in this setup, slowly and carefully rolled back over the glossy, printed plate, which measured about six feet long…”
