Cinematographer Style is about the art of how and why films look the way they do. It is about the influence of style, technique and technology-the art and craft of filmmaking.

Cinematographer Style is a feature documentary exploring the nuances of the universal art of visual story-telling. Director Jon Fauer, ASC visited with 110 cinematographers from 15 countries, who have worked in all sectors of the industry, including feature films, television, documentaries, commercials and music videos. Shot on 35mm film, the interviews were edited down to a 90-minute story.

In the words of Walt Disney, “Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.” Part biography, part history, part artistic commentary, this volume looks at several major figures in the field of animation and discusses how their contributions to the art of animation have affected the course of the industry–and in many cases, had a direct effect on popular culture as a whole. These gifted artists are divided into several classifications: Idealists (Art Babbitt, John Hubley); Mavericks (John Kricfalusi, Terry Gilliam); Technicians (the Fleischer Brothers); Influences (Frank Tashlin, Matt Groening, Ray Harryhausen, Ed Benedict); Trailblazers (Lotte Rieniger, Lillian Friedman); Teller of Tales (Henry Selick); Teachers (George Newall, Tom Yohe, the FMPU); and Storytellers (Joe Grant, Bill Scott, Michael Maltese). Each animator is represented by a list of his or her key films and awards.

There’s no Foundation Challenge this weekMcKenzie’s getting right down to the Spotlight Challenge, ’cause this one’s a monster. The special guest for this challenge is the production designer on this summer’s Total Recall, none other than Face Off’s own Patrick Tatopoulos. Patrick is going to work with the contestants individually as they take one of his four design sketches and run with them to create their own, original aliens. Patrick will be their “client” as well as their judge, and they have only two and a half days to complete a head-to-toe creature.
