Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...

We still smash and explode vegetables just like the dorky sound engineer in this film about making a low budget horror flick in the 1970s, says sound engineer Adam Mendez
Many vegetables die in the act of making a film. And that's exactly what we see happening in this eerie, sumptuous movie about a dorky English sound engineer, Gilderoy, working on a low-budget Italian horror flick in the 1970s.
We see Gilderoy (Toby Jones) and his assistants smashing marrows to make the sound of a body slamming on to the ground, and making fat sizzle for a scene involving the torture of a nun. We still do much the same sort of thing today. A few years ago, I worked on the horror film Dread. For a scene in which a boy's eardrums burst, we exploded grapes right up against the microphone. More recently, I worked on 127 Hours; for the...
