Scorsese, Kubrick, and More of Your Favorite Directors Morphed into Their Movie Characters

Ever wondered what a Tim Burton-Edward Scissorhands cross would look like?

The internet is a magnificent place. Without it, we may never have heard of visual artist Mike Leavitt, whose strange hybrid creature-auteur sculptures are, in one nerd's opinion, some of the most drool-worthy pop art out there. These are some truly unique (and hilarious) designs which put an awesome twist on a growing market of collectibles, vinyl, and merchandising perpetuated by outlets like Mondo and Spoke Art.

Leavitt's online bio reads: "American visual artist ReMike, aka Mike Leavitt, is a 38-year-old making dolls in his basement, articulating the voice of a generation in need of action heroes."

Leavitt's King Cuts exhibition was on display in June at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York City. It featured 16 hand carved wooden figures depicting some of our greatest directors merged into some sort of weird chimera of their most iconic characters.

All figures are 1:4 in scale, 18 inches tall or wide, and sculpted from scratch in wood and polymer clay. Check them out below.

Blackmagic Camera for Android 1.5

Blackmagic Camera for Android 1.5 Adds Live Syncing to Blackmagic Cloud

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest version of Blackmagic Camera for Android and its latest feature updates.

While the battle between iPhone and Android users continues to rage on, Blackmagic has done its due diligence in providing smartphone filmmaking solutions for each camp. When Blackmagic Design first released their Blackmagic Camera app, it was just for iPhone users though—which perhaps left some Android filmmakers feeling a bit left out.

However, to their credit, Blackmagic has corrected the mistake and released their Blackmagic Camera for Android, which has brought much relief and fanfare as well. While both apps continue to get regular updates, the iPhone version has been out longer so received a few more versions so far.

To keep up, Blackmagic has released a new updated version of their Android app which is set to add live syncing of media to Blackmagic Cloud and directly into the bin of all DaVinci Resolve workstations, along with some other support and upgrades. Let’s take a look at everything new.
