Prepare yourself for Ultra-High Definition TV — known as UHD — which delivers pictures so crisp, colourful and realistic that, experts say, we may in future have trouble separating in our memories those things we saw on screen from those that happened in real life.

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." - Groucho Marx

The Diary of Anne Frankenstein

The Diary of Anne Frankenstein | Machinimania | Scoop.it
One laboratory experiment's journey of self discovery, as she leaves her Nazi scientist father to attend college
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
So, what is this project all about?

The Diary of Anne Frankenstein is an animated web series that will follow a young, ambitious "monster" who was created by Nazi scientists. She leaves home to study journalism at Howard Phillips University, a college for supernatural creatures.

Anne's classmates are based on classic gothic literature staples such as Dracula and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

 

Interesting project -

 

There seems to be some sound problems with the video but you will get it anyhow ;-)

In a normal summer, having Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University would be more than enough animated fuzzy-wuzziness to satiate audiences.

For the past handful of years, there have been no more than four or five studio animated films a year, plus a handful of indie titles. There are eight releases this year and 10 next year.

iOS7 Icon Backlash: Designers Take to Dribbble to "Vent Design"

iOS7 Icon Backlash: Designers Take to Dribbble to "Vent Design" | Machinimania | Scoop.it
The social uproar is focusing on the new iOS 7 UI design - specifically the home screen icons.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
" Many predicted that Apple would be taking the general UI of iOS in a flatter direction, beginning the process of putting to bed their long history with skeuomorphism. And they did. They went all the way. Some are saying Apple and legendary designer Jony Ive took things too far, but of course that (as always) is up for debate."

While this topic is technically new technology its always good to look at the new discoverys. Who would have thought that they had animation way back in egypt? Clearly humans have always been creative when it comes to entertainment.

Lucas and Spielberg on storytelling in games: 'it's not going to be Shakespeare'

Lucas and Spielberg on storytelling in games: 'it's not going to be Shakespeare' | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Bryan Bishop:  'Speaking Wednesday at a panel at the University of Southern California — joined by Microsoft’s Don Mattrick — George Lucas and Steven Spielberg argued that introducing the concept of interactivity fundamentally changes the experience. "They’re always going to be different," Lucas said when asked if movies and games were going to become more similar. "They’re never going to be the same."'


Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

" By its very nature there cannot be a plot in a game. You can’t plot out a football game. You can’t plot out feeding Christians to lions. It’s not a plot."
