Weddings are often opulent affairs, but it’s virtually unheard of for one to feature $50,000 animatronic puppets, millions of dollars worth of camera and computer equipment and Tim Burton. The culmination of a 10-year engagement, “Corpse Bride,” directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, is a revolutionary marriage of stop-motion animation techniques, digital photography and digital movie editing. Shot with Canon digital cameras and edited with Final Cut Pro on Power Mac G5 computers at Three Mills Studios in London, the film marks the first time stop-motion animation has been shot in digital. “Movies of this sophistication only come around about every 10 years, if that,” says the movie’s editor Jonathan Lucas. “The animation is beautifully smooth and the story is fantastic. I’ve been in the business maybe 25 years now and I haven’t seen anything like it.” Enjoy the movie trailer and find out how Final Cut Pro and QuickTime played a key role in production of the film.

In 1992 the Pixies disbanded after releasing four acclaimed albums and
one mini-album in a five-year period. Widely regarded as one of the most
important rock bands of the past 20 years, the Pixies influenced a new

The Pixies reunited in 2004 for a triumphant worldwide tour that found the band playing better than ever, injecting their now-classic songs with renewed energy and earning universal critical praise. Filmed at concerts in seven different countries, the “Sell Out” DVD includes nearly every song they performed on that tour. Rock out with the Pixies playing live “Monkey Gone to Heaven,” “Where Is My Mind?” and “Wave of Mutilation.” Visit the iTunes Music Store to preview more tracks from the Pixies.

The competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and save the day.
