The Cinematography of "Moonrise Kingdom"
Cinematographer: Robert D. Yeoman
Wes Anderson's distinct visual style is more apparent than ever with his latest film, set to be released sometime later this year. He's always had a bit of a magical touch in his approach to filmmaking. He makes very careful use of color and size relationships of different characters and objects within many shots. Anderson likes to use shallow compositions where most of the scenes are flattened into a middleground and the main subject is often dead center in the frame. Not to mention his skillful use of making red/pink and green hues work so well together.
The story is set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing.

Pear Cider and Cigarettes - Robert Valley
I'm very happy that Robert Valley is (at last) making a new independent animated short-film. You can follow the production on his blog, during the next 120 days he'll be updating the public on the project. The film will be released as extra DVD in his upcoming 4th "Massive Swerve" book (which will be dedicated to this film).
Voice Actor - John Stocker
He and Zoo Factory alumni Dan Hennessey appeared as Thomson and Thompson on The Adventures of Tintin. In the film industry, he voiced the Cheshire Cat, as well as The Wizard's assistant Dim, in 1987's The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland, and he played a character named Sol in 1993's Look Who's Talking Now. He was also the voice director on Beyblade, Medabots, Committed, Pandalian, Sailor Moon, Caillou, The Amazing Spiez!, Animated Tales of the World, Rob the Robot, Totally Spies!, Totally Spies! The Movie, Plop!, Mona the Vampire, Martin Mystery, What It's Like Being Alone, The Goal, Zeroman, Strawberry Cafe, Monster Buster Club, The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Ky Staxx, The Mulligans and Di-Gata Defenders.
Stocker is one of the few voice actors to appear in all three of the Super Mario Bros. animated series with one of the characters that he had voiced being Toad. He has also done voices for many video games including Jagged Alliance 2, Naruto, Hype: The Time Quest, Spawn: In the Demon's Hand, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business and Silent Storm as well as voice directing Beyblade: Super Tournament Battle, Medabots Infinity, Sentinel: Descendants in Time and Magna Carta: Tears of Blood.
