The bleak world of Star Wars
A French photographer, Cedric Delsaux, has created scenes similar to the one above which place Star Wars subjects against bleak urban backdrops. By using such stark urban settings, icons of the Star Wars franchise seem to fit into modern-day France perfectly.
Subjects which Delsaux has used in his collection include C-3PO and R2-D2 looking at a derelict Citroen, Darth Vader swiping his lightsaber against a building and Jango Fett holding up a car.
Delsaux used image manipulation software to merge the images of the subjects and backdrop; 'I decided to mix together the common suburbs and some fantastic characters, which I think has created something poetic,' he said.

Advanced Beauty Preview
Old time friend of the feed Matt Pyke has just mailed out a preview of his upcoming DVD project entitled Advanced Beauty. I saw some work-in-progress QT's a few months back and it is a truly stunning collection of moving image films. We'll be posting more previews as and when Matt sends them over.
Shooting People Tools
Just been tipped off by Mr Mullighan about Shooting People's new blog. Called Tools, it will "focus on all the tips, tricks and resources available on the web and beyond for independent film production and distribution." Sounds good to me.
