Tue, 15 May 2012 00:16:51 -0800WeeblySat, 05 May 2012 15:36:22 -0800http://www.joshlange.com/1/post/2012/05/the-avengers-is-now-in-theaters.htmlEarlier this week I was able to attend one of the cast and crew screenings of The Avengers at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The film came out incredibly well: funny, well-paced, and the visual effects are top-notch. It is truly a blockbuster in every sense of the word, and I feel very fortunate to have been involved with it. I hope those reading this blog check it out (preferably in 3D, which adds another level of immersion and fun) and enjoy it as much as I did. Remember to stay for the Easter egg at the very end, too. While you wait, be sure to look for the 'Previsualization by The Third Floor' credits (you'll see me as Joshua Lange on the left side of the screen).

1:54 Hulk catching a falling Iron Man and scraping against a building
2:15 Non-CG shot of Thor and Cap looking up
2:19 Monster chasing Iron Man around corner of building

This one is the best trailer yet, in my opinion, and I couldn't be more excited to see this one when it comes out on May 4. For those interested, there is also a gallery of hi-res stills from the trailer here.

At the time I had taken a poor quality picture of it with a disposable camera, but I recently received a higher quality photo, which I posted in the Artwork section.

The trailer came out great and I'm greatly anticipating the movie when it comes out in IMAX next June. Look for my shots at 0:45 and 1:08:

Each week we meet for lunch and sketch an unsuspecting person later on. We've been posting the results here:

A few of the shots I did previs for are in it, including the shot of the damaged flying jet (:56) and Thor reaching out for his hammer Mjolnir and catching it "Jedi style" (1:09). Check it out and let me know what you think.

I'm proud to say that I'm finally done and copies of it are now available at the store. It can also be viewed online on the new Comics page.
I'm in the process of adding them to my Etsy store as well--they'll be $3, which includes shipping and I'll do a personalized sketch for you of a subject that you choose.

Also, this week marked my first year in the film industry working on previs for The Third Floor, inc. It's been a blast! And I feel like I'm just getting started (as Al Pacino would say)

Stay tuned... ]]>Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:46:21 -0800http://www.joshlange.com/1/post/2011/08/new-on-set-photos-of-the-avengers-shooting-in-cleveland.htmlHere are some great new photos of a Captain America fight sequence being shot in Cleveland right now. I worked on The Avengers this spring and I couldn't be more excited to see how it comes together when it is released next year. Until then, the buzz keeps growing... ]]>
