WALL•E [2008]

Jeg har nettopp sett WALL•E igjen, og herregud for en film! Den er skikkelig rørende og fin, og lille WALL•E er så sjarmerende på klønete vis.



Dette er ikke fra filmen, men det er veldig typisk WALL•E:


For deg som har sett filmen, her er noen "goofs" og trivia fra imdb:
WALL·E's cockroach, Hal, sleeps in a "Kremie" (parody of the Hostess Twinkie). Twinkies grow stale and their cream filling evaporates after a few decades, yet Hal's interaction with it betrays it to be the same as a new Twinkie. This is most likely a joke implying that only cockroaches and Twinkies can survive the apocalypse.

The name of the ship that the humans are living on is "Axiom." In logic and math, an axiom is something unquestionable or taken for granted.

Andrew Stanton and the Pixar team watched every single Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton movie (the short films and the features) every day during lunch for about a year and a half. This was to inspire the possibilities of pure visual storytelling.

In previews for the movie, and at the end of the DVD, the Pixar intro features WALL-E fixing the broken light bulb in the bouncing Lamp. He replaces the older style round incandescent bulb with a newer energy-friendly spiral tube fluorescent light bulb. ^

Director Andrew Stanton went to great lengths to create a "filmed" look by simulating various lens artifacts. One example is a "focus-pulling" error in the supermarket scene when Wall·E is crushed by shopping carts; the image goes out of focus momentarily as the lens is zoomed in on Wall·E at the doors. There are also lens flares and numerous focus shifts between foreground and background subjects.

WALL-E's pet cockroach was nicknamed Hal by the Pixar artists, in reference to silent film producer Hal Roach and HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

The average number of storyboards used on a Pixar film is 75,000. For WALL·E (2008), it was 125,000 (...jeg er glad jeg slipper sånne antall, for å si det sånn).

Eg elske WALL•E og eg elske trivia!

Og, forresten - det er Thomas Newman som har soundtracket til filmen. Og Roger Deakins var visual consultant, og han er en sykt flink cinematograf/DoP som har jobbet mye med Ethan og Joel Cohen, og som dessuten var cinematograf/DoP på Shawshank Redemption. Det er uendelige mengder med awesomeness i denne filmen. Godt jobba, folkens - og major creds til storyboard-mannen!
