When watching a movie, we only see the final result, but have you wondered what happens behind the scenes? Well, Lithuanian assistant director Robertas Nevecka began illustrating peculiar habits of people working on movie sets.

His job is to plan and supervise daily film production operations and to keep in touch with every single department on set, so he sees and hears a lot of interesting stuff.

“Last summer we had a feature film shooting in a remote village of Lithuania. There was not much to do in free time, so I’ve started sketching illustrations about the film crew. The plan was to tell their short stories in one picture comic strips and uploading to Instagram,” the artist shared in a post on Bored Panda and added that he is currently working on illustrations imagining what different film crew members are doing while staying at home.

Scroll down and check out his illustrations below. If you are curious to see more of his work, have a look on Instagram.

Andrew Rea is Recreating TV Foods, And It’s Insane https://playjunkie.com/andrew-rea-is-recreating-tv-foods-and-its-insane/ Wed, 18 Dec 2019 06:00:59 +0000 https://playjunkie.com/?p=31827 From Seinfeld’s soup and babka to SpongeBob Krabby Patty, television is filled with food. It can look nice, it can look nasty, the characters can go “yum!” or they can make a face at it… but we, the audience, never get to really know if it’s any good or not. Which is where Andrew Rea […]

From Seinfeld’s soup and babka to SpongeBob Krabby Patty, television is filled with food. It can look nice, it can look nasty, the characters can go “yum!” or they can make a face at it… but we, the audience, never get to really know if it’s any good or not. Which is where Andrew Rea enters the picture.

Andrew Rea started out as a filmmaker with a love for food and natural curiosity regarding the food he saw on TV. He’d always wondered how those recipes would be like in real life. And since he had the technical skills to both cook and film his creations, he launched his YouTube channel, Binging With Babish.

Binging With Babish is dedicated to the recreation and improvement of TV recipes. Each video, Rea takes a look at another TV food, tries to break it down to its ingredients, and recreated it as accurately as possible. Then he judges the result based on looks, texture, and taste, and tries to create his own, improved twist on it, if possible.

What started out as a hobby soon attracted quite a lot of attention, and now Rea has so many subscribers, that he quit his day job as a filmmaker and turned *Binging With Babish* into a  career. HE already has two spin-offs of the show, a published book, and many other food-related projects on the way. What makes the channel such a hit? Maybe it’s Rea’s editing filmography skills and radiophonic voice, or maybe it’s the fun of recreating insane TV recipes. Whatever it is, his videos are a joy to watch, even if the recipes aren’t always good.

Remember the days when a short YouTube video featuring a kitten riding a turtle simply wasn’t enough? We’re talking about the good ol’ days, when animals demanded a feature film and movie producers complied. Because let’s face it, when it comes to acting, animals are better than most human actors. We’ve listed our all-time favorite films featuring animals for you to enjoy this holiday season.

101 Dalmatians (1996)

First up is one of our favorite Christmas movies, and not only for Glenn Close’s iconic performance as the twisted Cruella de Vil. The live-action film, produced by Walt Disney, featured Pongo, Perdita, and their 99 puppies all played by real-life dalmatians. Who could say no to that?!

Babe (1995)

The comedy-drama film directed by Chris Noonan, took seven years of development, before being filmed in New South Wales, Australia. It features a talking pig who wishes to work as a sheepdog. Fun fact: actor James Cromwell became an ethical vegan as a result of starring as Farmer Hoggett.

Beethoven (1992)

The family comedy film, starring Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt, centers around a St. Bernard dog who can actually play the piano. Take that, keyboard cat!

Free Willy (1993)

Southpark might have parodied it, but for young audiences, Free Willy was quite the inspiration. Starring Jason James Richter, it centered around a foster boy who befriended a captive orca. Sadly, the aquatic star of the film – an orca named Keiko – failed to adapt to the wild when he was actually released.

Ratatouille (2007)

Produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney, the computer-animated comedy film made quite the splash when it came out. In France alone, where the film is set, it broke the record for the biggest debut for an animated film. But we hardly believe it made people more accepting to the idea of rats hanging out in their kitchen.

Often times, what makes a movie iconic is the whole package: the actors, the script, the set, but also – what goes behind the scenes. We’re talking of course, about movie theme songs. Here are some movie theme songs that almost topped the movies themselves.

Ghostbusters, 1984

American fantasy comedy film, Ghostbusters, achieved cult status, mostly thanks to Bill Murray’s unforgettable performance. But the film score continued to live on long after the series wrapped up. It was composed by Elmer Bernstein, who won an Oscar for his score to Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) and was nominated for 14 Oscars in total. So who you gonna call? Elmer Bernstein.

Back to the Future, 1985

Released on July 3, 1985 Back to the Future grossed over $381 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1985. Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the movie was an instant classic, spending 11 weeks at the number one spot. But the soundtrack was just as epic. Heres a fun fact: Alan Silvestri actually began recording the score two weeks before the film’s first preview.

The Original Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)

It doesn’t get more epic than the Star Wars trilogy. Written and directed by George Lucas, it included an iconic soundtrack. Perhaps the most recognizable theme, present throughout the franchise, is the “Imperial March,” also known as Darth Vader’s theme. Composed by John Williams for The Empire Strikes Back, it’s considered one of the best known symphonic movie themes.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)

Sergio Leoni’s, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, is considered an all-time favorite when it comes to Westerns. Its catchy theme song was written by Italian composer Ennio Morricone. The acclaimed composer, orchestrator, and conductor has composed over 500 scores for cinema and television, as well as over 100 classical works.

Mary Poppins (1964)

Children’s all-time favorite nanny, Mary Poppins, could do no wrong. The musical film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney featured numerable hits written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. One of its most iconic songs was “A Spoonful of Sugar.”
