Full Trailer for ‘Loving Vincent,’ a Feature-Length Film Animated by 62,450 Oil Paintings
The full trailer for Loving Vincent (previously here and here), a film examining the life of Vincent van Gogh, has finally been released after nearly six years of creative development. Each of the 62,450 frames for the feature-length film were hand-painted by 115 professional oil painters, and will integrate 94 of Van Gogh’s paintings into the animation. First captured as a live action film, the final oil paintings replicate each shot, recreating the entire film frame-by-frame. Loving Vincent is written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, and produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films and UK’s Trademark Films. You look behind-the-scenes of the film in the video below, as well as keep up-to-date with release information on the film’s Twitter and Facebook
A child in Igiugig, Alaska needed an emergency flight to Anchorage.
Then the runway went dark.
Late on August 28, 2020, a LifeMed aircraft flew toward the tiny Southwest Alaska village to pick up the patient. But when residents tried to activate the airport's runway lights, nothing happened. The plane circled overhead.
Ida Nelson heard the aircraft and realized something was wrong. She headed to the airstrip on her four-wheeler. A neighbor began calling people and made 32 phone calls, reaching what Nelson described as nearly every household in the village.
People got out of bed. Some were still in pajamas. They drove cars, trucks and ATVs to the airport and staggered them along the runway, using their lights to show the pilot the strip from end to end.
Residents stayed exactly where they were while the child was loaded onto the aircraft, then kept their makeshift runway glowing while the plane taxied out and took off for Anchorage.
There was no elaborate equipment. Just neighbors, headlights and a community that understood there was no time to wait.

Jacki, that was a wonderful blog again.
I hope the child was safe after the treatment in Anchorage. Isn't it wonderful when so many people do everything they can to save the life of a child.
