Fringe Wallpaper: Olivia's Tattoo

The Fox Fringe website has a new wallpaper featuring Olivia and her new tattoo (Fauxlivia's old tattoo, which her boyfriend Frank also had).

Any guesses as to what the tattoo means? Is it something between Faux and her beau, or could it be some sort of mark that they use in the Red-verse to signify something?

UPDATE: According to a tweet by Joel "J.H." Wyman, the tattoo has no "hidden meaning".

Fringe GetGlue Contest, Week 2

Week two of the GetGlue Fringe Prop giveaway has begun. This week's prize is four Massive Dynamic stock certificates.

I talked to GetGlue to clarify how the rules work, and it's pretty simple (although not very intuitive). To earn the most entries for the drawing, you need to "check-in" at GetGlue.com during the live broadcast of Fringe AND and enter the code-word-of-the-week into the comment section when you check in.

For example, the code word for last week was "Bell", which could be found on the Fringe facebook page, in the promo photos for "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide". In fact they even gave a hint in the photo's description: "**FIND THE FRINGE FRIDAYS PROP GIVEAWAY CODE IN THIS PHOTO**"

If you check in with the code during the episode, you get 5 entries. If you check in any other time, or without the code, then you get less entries. See the official rules for full details.

BTW, If you are having trouble finding this week's code, I explained where you can find it here.

Fringe Interview: John Noble Conference Call

John Noble (Walter Bishop) spoke with reporters via conference call yesterday, and without revealing too much, discussed tonight's Fringe episode "6:02 Am EST".

Two New Fringe Commercials for "6:02 AM EST"

Along with the Fringe Easter Egg, there were two new Fringe promos during Bones last night.



FYI, If you take a close look at the second video, there are a few slight changes from the first Fringe commercial for "6:02 AM EST". Specifically, the word "Peter" is digitally added to a door. I believe this is part of the GetGlue Fringe contest, and won't actually be in the episode.

Fringe Easter Egg In Bones?

In last night's episode of Bones, there were a few subtle nods to Fringe:

• "Walter vs. FBI" was written on the chalkboard
• A character named Walter, who is jokingly called Wally
• Booths ring a bell

•Joshua Jackson
Well known as the fast-talking, self-deprecating “Pacey Witter” on “Dawson’s Creek,” Joshua Jackson has been working in front of the camera for almost 20 years.

Jackson’s feature film debut was in Michael Bortman’s “Crooked Hearts.” He has since appeared in the “Mighty Ducks” trilogy, “Cursed,” “Gossip,” “Apt Pupil,” “Cruel Intentions,” “Digger,” “Andre,” “Aurora Borealis,” “Bobby,” “Shutter” and “The Skulls,” as well as in Rose Troche’s critically acclaimed “The Safety of Objects” and the film version of Moises Kaufman’s groundbreaking play “The Laramie Project.” For his work in the Canadian feature film “One Week,” Jackson received the 2010 Genie Award for Best Actor. He has also made cameo appearances in Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s 11,” “Scream 2,” “Urban Legend” and “I Love Your Work.”

Additionally, Jackson enjoyed a successful run on London’s West End starring in “A Life in the Theatre” alongside Patrick Stewart. The acclaimed comedy was written by the Academy Award-nominated and Pulitzer Prize- and Olivier Award-winning David Mamet.

•John Noble
John Noble’s newfound popularity with the international television audience comes after more than 30 years as an acclaimed stage actor and director and distinguished character actor in film.

Noble, best-known worldwide for his award-winning portrayal of “Denethor” in “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” began his career on the Australian stage, where he was a leader in the country’s cultural expansion of the 1970s and 1980s. As Artistic Director of the Stage Company of South Australia for 10 years, he produced and directed more than 70 new plays, spent time in London directing “Sons of Cain” in the West End and produced “Percy and Rose” for the Adelaide Festival of Arts.

His most recent television credits in the U.S. include “Journeyman,” “The Unit,” “Stargate SG-1” and a season on “24” as Russian Consul “Anatoly Markhov.” He has appeared on Australian television as “Captain Blackheart” in the children’s series “Pirate Islands: The Lost Treasure of Fiji.”

Noble’s film credits include “One Night with the King” opposite Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif and “The Last Airbender,” as well as the upcoming “Risen,” the story of a featherweight boxing champion overcoming a tragic injury.

Fringe Promo-The End Of The Beginning

JJ Abrams' Super 8 Promo With Fringe Easter Egg

Can you identify the Fringe Easter egg in this promo?

That Which "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" Unearthed

Has your subconscious Fringe ever demanded you to re-watch a particular Fringe episode? Three days before "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide"(henceforth referred to as "LSD") aired my "inner Fringe" demanded I watch an older episode. So I looked through the BluRay menu for Season 2 and got suddenly frustrated, until I found what my inner Fringe wanted in the "extra features" section: "Unearthed." The Fringepedia.net website, which does not follow FOX's official episodic numbering schedule, lists "Unearthed" as episode 211 (the official number is #121), which explains why our Agent Charlie Francis is alive and well in that episode, even though he got killed in episode 201 (see: Fringe Math for more info).

It took a good 15 minutes into the episode and suddenly I had a feeling I was exactly where I was supposed to be. A high school girl named Lisa Donovan comes back from the dead shouting launch codes for nuclear ICBM missles and the ID code for a Naval petty officer Andrew Rusk.Olivia is asking Lisa Donovan questions. She tells the girl that the ID she shouted belongs to a man named Andrew Rusk, and she asks if that rings any bells? OK, this is starting to sound familiar!Just then Lisa Donovan launches into fluent Russian, which of course, human lexicon Peter Bishop is able to decipher. About two thirds of the way into this episode Walter decides Lisa Donovan is not channeling Rusk psychically, but that "Mister Rusk's entire consciousness was transferred into Lisa." Now the bells are ringing for me! This is all foreshadowing way back in "Unearthed" for Bell's consciousness transferring into our poor Olivia!Two women lying on gurneys (probably the same one) posessed, if you will, by a man's consciousness. Their names even sound the same: Lisa Donovan, and 'Livia Dunham. Wow. Who would've guessed an episode in the Extra Features section would be closely linked to "LSD"? But Lisa Donovan gets a benzodiazepine to start the prosess that purges her man, whereas our Liv gets LSD. Why the difference? I'll get back to that in a bit.

Zoic Studios Helps Create Groundbreaking Fringe Episode

Zoic Studios Helps Create Groundbreaking Fringe Episode
Daniel Haim // April 18, 2011

Friday night’s Fringe episode entitled “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide” is one of the most unique and compelling productions to air on television. For Zoic Studios it was also one of the most ambitious, involving the creation of 240 heavily stylized animated shots, a blend of hand drawn and 3D techniques, in just under six weeks.

Inspired by graphic novels, Max Fleischer and Hanna-Barbera classics, Zoic began the process with extensive character designs for each of the actors who would appear in the animated dream-state. Storyboards were drawn for every scene in the show and were cut together with footage from stunt coordinator fight scene choreography and live action performances to retain the integrity of the actor performances and ensure that that these unique character personalities translate on screen. Using a unique blend of 3D and hand drawn bush strokes, Zoic created animated characters that strike a balance between stylized and authentic, allowing the subtleties of the actors’ emotions and mannerisms to shine through. The materials and footage from various formats were extensively tracked in Zoic’s project management pipeline, to effectively organize plates, actor and voice over performances and feed shot and version notes to the artists from the supervisors and client.

In addition to the character animation, the Zoic team recreated some Fringe sets and designed and animated new environments key to the narrative. These environments, often hand painted backgrounds projected onto 3D plates, have incredible depth of field and subtle hand held float, providing an immersive experience for the viewer.

“This project was one of the most intensive and rewarding we have worked on in Zoic’s history,” says Zoic Studios Creative Director Andrew Orloff. “It was an incredible undertaking, from the amazing writers at Fringe to the animation production that is both steeped in tradition and groundbreaking.”
