Direct Your Own 3-D Masterpieces with Xtranormal

DateSunday, April 26, 2009 at 8:13AM
The other day, I was hipped to something called Xtranormal. "Make 3D Movies for Free," it claims, allowing you to control the movements and dialogue of little 3D characters, put them in the setting of your choosing, and give the accents, and sit back and watch the fun.

Provided you don't get too caught up in making it perfect, you can create just about anything in under half an hour, which is what I did to get my feet wet with Xtranormal. Because the first video I saw was an all-too- earnest Susan Boyle video somebody created (isn't that pop culture asterisk over yet?), I decided to take my movie in an entirely different direction.

So I present for you the Big Picture Players and their interpretation of the "Always Be Closing" scene from Glengarry Glen Ross:

It was either that or Raging Bull. I was going to do something from Silence of the Lambs because the characters have a similar cadence to Hannibal Lecter, but there were no prison cell settings. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for that.
