Merry Christmas: A Stephenie Meyer Christmas Story

Christmas

On behalf of the entire staff of the Twilight Lexicon, we wish all our readers Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Three  years ago before everyone knew about Twilight, because it had only been on bookshelves about three months, Stephenie Meyer wrote an article for Ensign Magazine about the spirit of Christmas. It has become the Lexicon’s traditional Christmas post.

Who Would Taylor Lautner Invite to Christmas Dinner?

OK so the other day Pel was all excited because Kristen mentioned wanting to have dinner with one of Pel’s favorite authors, John Steinbeck. Pel is now positively on cloud nine because Taylor has picked the lead singer of Pel’s favorite band of all time.

Tippet Studio Rising to the New Moon Challenge

Tippet Studio, that did the CGI work for New Moon talks about the process. If you are not normally into CGI articles, make an exception, and read this one. It is incredibly well done.

“The challenge wasn’t just to build a believable wolf, but to build five unique wolves of extraordinary size and weight, to portray that mass often with little more than the surrounding trees as comparisons, create believable fur and humanesque eyes that weren’t distracting. Nate Fredenburg, Art Director, helped to make sure those requirements were fulfilled, combining real-world attributes and CG magic.

“At Tippett Studio, we always look to real-life creatures for reference on how to design our characters, real or mythical. For New Moon, we had a special opportunity to travel down to wolf sanctuary in Southern California to observe wolves up close and personal. The key to looking at live reference is to form a knowledge base, study the creatures, their quirks and behaviors, the language between the pack. We looked for signs of what the creature was about and added those to the visual effects to make them believable.”

New Moon Movie Mistakes

According to FilmoFilia New Moon ranks up there with the movies with the most mistakes this year. However, the thing you have to remember is that these mistakes are found by viewers, it’s not as if there is a special “find the mistakes” rating society that checks out every film of the year. So, naturally the larger selling films have the most mistakes reported if for no other reason than lots of people saw those films.

Regardless it’s all in there in good fun. If you want to check out some other films with classic moments of “oops” watch Dorothy’s magically growing and shrinking braids in The Wizard of Oz, Hugh Grant’s changing tie in Love Actually, and Julia Robert’s growing and shrinking pancake in Pretty Woman.
