'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome' lands on Youtube's Machinima Prime

'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome' lands on Youtube's Machinima Prime | Machinimania | Scoop.it
The "Battlestar Galactica" prequel "Blood & Chrome" finally is taking flight, but not quite the way fans had hoped. "Portlandia" characters Doug and Claire won't be able to watch the whole thing at once!

 

At least not at first. The pilot movie will premiere Nov. 9 on the YouTube channel Machinima Prime in 10 seven-to-12 minute chapters before Syfy airs it as a complete film the way it was intended to be shown.

Syfy passed on the project in March, likely because it's throwing all its efforts into the upcoming series-video game hybrid "Defiance." If you want to see the movie as a movie, you'll have to wait until.........click abowe for the full story.

Take Creative Control - An Ode to Creative Work

Take Creative Control - An Ode to Creative Work | Machinimania | Scoop.it
A film about the opportunity, hardship and responsibility of creative work.

 

Click Abowe

 

"

Behind every great advancement, in every industry, there is a creative mind.

Creativity may come easy, but creation is hard.

The late nights spent trying, and failing, and trying again.

All the while, holding onto our vision.
Pushing what we see in our mind's eye into the world.

But our brilliance is being held captive by forces around us and within us.

Middle men who play us down while marking us up.
Not giving us credit. Getting us to work for free.

And worse, we get in the way of our own success.
We rely on chance encounters. We’re disorganized and isolated, liable to go unnoticed.

We can do better.

When creative minds come together, the sum exceeds all expectations.
We connect, we learn, we critique, and we prosper.

It's not about money or fame, it's about doing what we love.

It's about creating our greatest work on our own terms.
It’s about realizing that creativity is not just an opportunity - it's a responsibility.

Here's to unleashing our full potential.
For us, and for the world that awaits what we will do next; Take creative control."

GroBoto_v3 | Machinimania | Scoop.it


GroBoto's foundation has been expanded with version 3. We have built some great tools on that solid base — enough to keep our tiny team scrambling to provide documentation and videos. It's a robust foundation, designed and ready to support much more. We plan on spooling out many new features and enhancements during the v3 cycle (all will be free updates of course).

So please have a look around — see what GroBoto v3 has to offer, and see what we are working on. Groboto’s realtime rendering, flexible true-geometry modeling, and fully automated SeamNet Mesh generation help you freely create, invent & design in 3D.

3D houses "grown" like bonesSmartPlanet.com (blog)Softkill has developed a 3D printing technique for large scale construction which mimics the growth process of bones.

 

“Softkill house moves away from heavy, compression-based 3D printing of on-site buildings, instead proposing lightweight, high resolution, optimised structures which, at life scale, are manageable truck-sized pieces that can be printed off site and later assembled on site.”

YouTube New Admin Layout More Google Integration


Well, YouTube did it again! In the last month or so YouTube has had some even more changes making 2012 literally their makeover year. 

The most recent changes that happened are to the way the actual back office and admin area looks. As well as the home page and now my favorite change. YOUTUBE PLAYLISTS!

The most recent changes feel like a deeper push into the full integration of Google Plus and YouTube. Navigation wise, when you own a YouTube channel which essentially now is defaulted when setting up a Gmail account, Google plus navigation tools and YouTube tools are found at the top in a different place and in a new layout then before. 

Now directly under the Upload button you will find a drop down of a 4 selections. 

YouTube Navigation

Video Manager will take you in to all of your video uploads. From there you can really go anywhere in the back office.

Analytics takes you into all the data and stats your videos have been collecting as they have been made public. YouTube Analytics also can give you data such as likes, comments, and more engagement based tracking.

Your actual YouTube Channel, so that you can edit the layout and see things from the viewers perspective.

And Then PLAYLIST navigation. This playlist button will take you into the back office of where you can create and add your YouTube videos to specific playlists but while I was looking deeper at this I noticed that they completely changed around how the playlists where laid out. They were no longer at the bottom of the page of your YouTube Channel, now they were built into the player, like chapters! I really like this layout.

A Human-Powered Helicopter: Straight Up Difficult : NPR

It's difficult to build a working four-rotor helicopter that spans 100 feet and only weighs 80 pounds. It's even harder when your engine is a 0.7-horsepower person. But two teams of young engineers hope to do just that.

Online video - annotated, remixed and popped (Popcorn Maker from Mozilla is coming)

Remixing and sharing have come to define the web as we know it, all of us can now be part of that story through simple tools that allow us to make things online.

 

But video has been left out. It arrived on the web in a small box, and there it has remained, completely disconnected from the data and the content all around it. In fact, in over a decade on the web, the only thing that has changed about video is the size of the box and the quality of the picture.

 

Popcorn changes all of that. It's an online tool that allows anyone to combine video with content pulled live directly from the web. Videos created with Popcorn behave like the web itself: dynamic, full of links, and completely remixable, and finally allowed to break free from the frame.
