Not much newsworthy stuff going on and I'm in the middle of a busy swirl... so no film studies just yet. But I did find these great pictures of the bear from The Golden Compass. This was from some sort of exhibit on film, possibly also comics, I'm not sure. But the armor is fantastic! I really can't figure out the material and if it's actually hard. I would think it would have to be malleable in order to do any sort of animation or movement with the bear (not this bear of course, but whatever sort of bear they made it for.) It's a mystery. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for the movie
And here is a candid shot of one of Nicole Kidman's coat in the same film:
