John Carpenter's reaction to Godzilla Minus One winning Best VFX at the Oscars is so heartwarming to me.
He would've been eight years old when he saw the original American release of the first film. In his preteens, he was making short claymotion movies with his favorite movie monsters, including Godzilla. He's been a fan of this series since the inception, and it just won its first Oscar. He must've been feeling like a kid again.
“We constructed the bridge on the set, filled the stage with rain and fog, and we projected the actress on that gigantic screen. So the impact of the light is all real — it’s not something created by a computer.” - Denis Villeneuve
Stefan Gesell, a German photographer, creates portraits that appear to be torn from the pages of sci-fi and horror novels. Using dynamic lighting and effects, the rawness and aggression of Gesell’s work makes it stand out among peers attempting to capture dystopian worlds within the same form.
“I think it is the different approach and stage-managing that makes my pictures look different,” the artist told The Plugin Site. “For me the impact of my images is of high importance. I want to make them memorable to the viewer. That’s why I experiment a lot with light and the resulting mood.”
The artist cites Jan Saudek, H.R.Giger, and Helnwein as influences. The former graphic designer seems to work within a clear vision for both the studio and post-production legs of each image’s journey, pushing both his models and their backdrops to provoke.
YOU STOP THAT

In honor of the 6th season of Face Off that premieres on January 14, 2014, I decided to make a list of my top 10 favorite makeups from the five seasons. Unfortunately, season 1 didn’t have any photos of the makeups so I couldn’t include anything from that season.
Guys face off is the coolest show you should all watch it.
