Indiana Jones 4!
June 23rd, 2007

My favorite film series is underway. They just released this great photo of the man himself:

Sure he looks older but not too bad for 60 years old. To tell you the truth, Indiana Jones is my hero. I have a signed Raiders of the Lost ark poster and you might say I’m a HUGE fan. I’ve heard people say negative things about this movie and how old Harrison Ford looks, etc. But not here. This guy is the man! If you write negative comments, I will delete them and I will come to your house and unplug your refrigerator. Your comment will be an unsolved mystery for the Hardy Boys.

Now if want to praise this movie uncontrollably… Please do.

Atmospheric Re-Entry!
Here is a preview of an animation i’m working on. Playing around with Element 3D and Saber to create the fiery streaks!

Circuit City
Making circuits! After trying to create something large, I thought I should try to make something small! I started by taking a circuitry texture and placing it on a plane in Element 3D. I used the texture in the Glossiness channel and the reflection channel to give the pathways a metalic look. Next I built the […]

Continuing the Element 3D fun! This started as a desert scene and soon turned into a cloud city! Typical. Part of the fun of these render projects is just creating random stuff and designing without a specific goal. It’s actually been really challenging and exciting to try various techniques. In this scene, I used an aerial […]

I just read this post and am a HUGE Indy fan. When I found out about the 4th coming out I got a friend to sneak me into the theaters at 3 in the morning so I could be the first to watch the trailer for the film.

How have I never known you love Indy?? I, too have a signed Raiders poster, as well as the '93 pinball machine. Raiders is absolutely my favorite movie of all time.

Heres a quote from the great Ron Bennington of Ron and Fez:

"If Harrison Ford was a real man, he would be Sigourney Weaver."

The closest to being involved with this film was to wait in line with 30,000 other hopeful extras in New Haven, CT a few weeks back. It was great getting to see the set for the chase scene - it's amazing how they transformed the streets of Yale campus into the 1950's. I was too busy to catch any of the shoot, but 600 lucky people from the area got to participate in the film.

I'll just wait for Indy 5...

The new Indiana Jones movie is heading to Hawaii.
Cast and crew, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and new cast members Jim Broadbent and Cate Blanchett are currently shooting scenes at Yale in New Haven, Conn. (No time for love, Dr. Jones!) Production of the fourth Indiana Jones film has been shrouded in secrecy, but TMZ has learned that the production is expected to shift to the garden island of Kauai within a few weeks ... then it's back to Hollywood to film scenes on the back lot at Paramount.

Well anywho, this being my first post I just wanna say 'Thanks for all the great turorials ...Keep em coming'.

Oh yeah by the just for the record...loved Raiders and Last Crusade, not so much Temple of Doom (as an Indian I thought it was racist and xenophobic, though not a bad film in itself)

yea this is gonna be sweet and tell me im wrong I dare you!

The first teaser will show:
a) shots from the first films with text in between, then a reveal of Harrisons face, then the title fo the film.
b) fade in/out shots of his feet, hat, whip, etc. then maybe a sillouette, the title and thats all.

Knowing hollywood thats what they would do...and I can't wait!

This reminds me Andrew. When can we expect the "Rolling Rock and Poison Darts" tutorial then?

Seriously though, I read somewhere that they are going back to basics with this movie. Not all CGI but stunctmen doing their thing instead, just like the others! Absolutely can't wait.

The only downside I can see is that when Indy 4 comes out on DVD I'll have to re-buy all the others again to get the latest boxed set. Still, I suppose it;ll be all the excuse I need to buy blu-ray rather than SD eh?

There are three things any movie fan knows when he walks into a cinema playing Indiana Jones! First; Harrison Ford is the man! Lets not even take the time to imagine someone like Ashton Kutcher taking over the role. (Some of us are still upset about Casino Royale & Daniel Craig. I mean, c'mon....where's Clive Owen?) 2. Indy will never use his whip as much as you'd like to see. And finally; when the films over, you will struggle to remember the last time you were as satisfied as an audience member. Indy rocks, as does Andrew and his site! I know i've learnt alot & would love to see many more tutorials. Thanks, Andrew!!!

I swear Shia Labeouf is taking over the Movie industry... with all these big movies he's starting to star in... (I remember the good ole' disney show with him in it.)

Anywhoo... isn't he the star of the new Indiana Jones... I thought it was going to be passed down to a new Indiana... ya know.. Harrison Ford teaches the new young kid.. and then the legacy continues... that's what I've heard...

(I think Die Hard 4 looks great.. I really enjoy all the Teasers for that.. I've been playing with Riot Gear to create those Bold Grungy Letters they use... great teasers)

I can't believe they're finally getting around to making Indy 4! I remember reading a newspaper article back in 1993 about how they were trying to get #4 put together. Took their sweet time... I have a friend that used to go around the neighborhood dressed in full Indy garb; the hat, jacket, whip & revolver. I've owned probably three fedoras myself and I still have a 12 foot bullwhip around here somewhere. Indy is a great character for sure. This genre seem to be coming back into style now, what with movies like National Treasure and Davinci Code. I expect Indy 4 to be the cream of the crop, however.

Sean Connery turned down the role, even though he couldn't think of a cooler movie to play in. He said he just wants to enjoy his retirement. Sounds like we won't see him in movies ever again.

This should be the best of all series. I have a lot of expectations in terms of special effects. It took almost 18 years since the last chapter so many people will have to catch up with the previous 3 movies to then go to the theaters. My son is 15 and told me exactly this.

Andrew,
By the way, I noticed on Fox (a few months ago) an advance of "Lost" where they used the music you used on your demo reel. Where exactly that type of music is found? Thanks and keep it up!

Harrison Ford is actually one of my favorite actors, so I am of course a big fan of Indiana Jones. He look really good for his 60 years old, and he is a great actor.
