Maintaining its status as a vast churning mill of content, Netflix has regularly made giant leaps in original content making. To keep new titles coming in, it has often turned to adapting existing novels and video games such as The Witcher. However, with animation, the streaming giant faced disappointments with cancellations of projects like Ember and Cattywumpus. Yet, its fortune has always given way to critical acclaim with the Castlevania series, including Castlevania: Nocturne.

The first season of the sequel to the animated adult drama premiered in September last year and forwarded the franchise toward a later stage in history. Famed for its visual flair and handling of the narrative to seamlessly blend the background setting with the dark, horror-fantasy trope, the showrunners always had a clear idea in mind of how to steer the ship.

Jenna Coleman had “avoided” playing a detective – until she was approached about playing rookie cop Ember Manning in a scenic lake town in Lancashire in North West England in BBC Studios’ The Jetty from creator and writer Cat Jones and Firebird Pictures.
“What appealed to me was that the character of Ember was completely there on page one,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Also, it’s a crime thriller, but it’s wrapped up in such a human, emotive, and poetic piece. It is crafted so it has all of the great things of a crime thriller – turning the page and having all of the beats. But it’s also such a feminine piece that really explores relationships and provokes. It has all sorts of blurred boundaries and is asking a lot of uncomfortable questions without fully answering them.”

The slow-burn life of Elemental continues. The film landed the top streaming debut for a movie on Disney+ so far this year, the streaming service announced Monday. That follows Elemental‘s box office journey, which began inauspiciously with a record-worst opening for a Pixar movie, only for the film to have strong legs and ultimately earn $484 million globally.
According to Disney, Elemental had 26.4 million views — or, to put it another way, viewing time equivalent to that many complete showings of the movie — worldwide in its first five days of streaming. Like its competitor Netflix, Disney+ divides total viewing time by a title’s run time. For comparison’s sake, Disney touted last week that the live-action The Little Mermaid landed on the service with 16 million views in its first five days. The recent episode-one debut of the Star Wars series Ahsoka brought in 14 million over five days. The company did...

Let’s take a pause from all the last camera announcements and smell the roses with this outstanding epic ultra-high fps video. Shot on a modified Freefly Ember by filmmaker Tim Sessler, Levitate is the best video that was shot on this camera. Check it out.

Back in 2020 Freefly Systems released the Wave camera. It was the company’s first entry into the slow-motion specialty camera world. Three years later they released Ember which has improved image quality, dynamic range, resolution, and usability – allowing us to capture 4K images at up to 1,000 Fps. “Overall we were really impressed by Ember – the camera delivers an incredible image for its small form factor and price”, tells us filmmaker Tim Sessler from the production company Brooklyn Aerials.

Sunday Update: Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One lit the fuse this weekend with a $235M global start. Of that, $155M is from 70 international box office markets which rep 93% of the offshore footprint (Japan is notably still to come).
Excluding China, where there were strong headwinds from local pics and amid contracted audience interest in Hollywood movies, the overseas debut on the Tom Cruise-starrer is $129.6M. On a like-for-like basis including previews, that’s 15% ahead of Mission: Impossible Fallout which would make this the biggest opening for the franchise when removing the Prc. There, the launch was $25.4M, which is 66% below Fallout which released in what was a different time in the market.
Overall overseas, this is the biggest opening weekend in the M:i franchise in 35 markets including the UK, Australia/New Zealand, Brazil, India, Netherlands and Scandinavia.

Freefly has released an update regarding its new high-speed camera, Ember. It seems that Freefly has been investing tons of effort in making the camera ready for high-speed shooters.
Ember Compact High-Speed Camera. Picture: Freefly Ember: Compact high-speed camera
Freefly introduced Ember at the end of 2022. Ember is a high-speed camera that capable of shooting at an impressive 5K 600 fps, and 4K 800 fps. Ember is characterized by a cube design and weighs only 800 grams. You can think of Ember as the successor of Wave. High-speed shooters have been utilizing Wave in super cool productions Fpv Aerial Cinematography). However, Ember owns more high-speed capabilities, and better overall image quality compared to the Wave. Freely expect that many Wave shooters will switch to Ember, although Ember is a much pricier camera than Wave. The camera is a Super 35 camera with a global shutter Gpixel sensor. Key features are below:

Disney and Pixar’s latest animated feature, “Elemental,” is a charming drama about family and identity, centering the story of two elements, Ember and Wade, who fall in love with each other. Many different themes are tackled within, from questions of personal identity to the struggles of immigration. But at a certain point Ember talks about how, as a fire element who can cause things to ignite just by standing next to them, the “world is not designed for me.”
My ears immediately perked up when I heard that line. As a disabled person, I say this regularly because the world is definitely not designed with me in mind, or most disabled people for that matter. Director Peter Sohn and co-screenwriters John Hoberg and Kat Likkel didn’t intend to tell a disabled story, but the story they told is one that does resonate with marginalized people. “The idea of...

Pixar’s new film Elemental treads familiar narrative and thematic ground, with a likable but forgettable love story and the expected lessons about acceptance, family and forging your own path. But visually, Elemental is a reminder that few, if any, studios rival Pixar’s commitment to advancing and experimenting with animation. After nearly three years of direct-to-streaming releases, followed by the theatrical disappointment of last year’s Lightyear, it’s a return to creative form, best enjoyed on the biggest screen possible.
The film takes place in the world of elements – water, air, earth, and fire – in the metropolis of Element City. Here, water people slosh around and live in high-rises made out of glass. Clods of dirt run around the city, proudly sprouting grass and flowers. Clouds thrill others with their sports prowess. And fire people are largely relegated to their own neighborhood, as others fear their destructive capabilities.

“Elemental” (opening theatrically June 16) achieves a number of milestones for Pixar. It’s the studio’s first rom-com and its first immigrant story about family struggle and sacrifice. And it’s the first Pixar film in which VFX touches every shot.
Set in Element City, where fire, water, air, and earth co-exist despite their fundamental differences, a friendship leads to unexpected sparks when the fiery and intense Ember (Leah Lewis) meets the watery, go-with-the-flow Wade (Mamoudou Athie). Because the character design and world-building of “Elemental” are inextricably linked to the primary elements, at its very core, the film strips animation, storytelling, and identity down to their essentials.
But for director Peter Sohn (“The Good Dinosaur”), it’s a very personal story about paying tribute to his parents, who emigrated from Korea to the Bronx in the early ’70s, opened a grocery store, and raised a family.

We recently had a chance to catch up with Breaking Benjamin band members Keith Wallen and Jasen Rauch at this past weekend’s Fort Rock Festival which took place in Sunrise, Florida at Markham Park.
We thought it would be fun to find out just what these guys “nerd” out about and, of course, at least in the case of this band it was Marvel all the way! They also happen to be really big “gear heads” as well!
Check out the full interview below:
Breaking Benjamin are no strangers to the upper echelons of the rock charts. Since bursting onto the scene with 2002’s Saturate, the band has amassed an impressive string of mainstream rock radio hits, including “The Diary of Jane,” and the No. 1 singles “So Cold,” “Failure,” “Breath” and “I Will Not Bow.”
