Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
NASA released this animation of a mission to capture a boulder from the surface of an asteroid. A NASA spacecraft, called an asteroid redirect vehicle, would use robotic arms to pluck a 3-meter boulder off the asteroid. The spacecraft would then enter a stable lunar orbit with the boulder where astronauts could then visit it and take samples. Click to watch.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Mastering the basics of timelapse photography is surprisingly easy. With good camera skills it's surprisingly easy for photographers to speed up time by taking series of still images and playing them back as a moving image.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
In a remote location, a secret facility exists unlike anything the world has ever seen. Run by Dr. Conrad Gable, a renowned neurologist, the facility is years ahead of it’s time when it comes to the technology it’s using to research the human body. With an unlimited budget backed by a classified department of the government, Dr. Gable’s motives appear to be for the greater good of humanity. The chance to create a drug so powerful it could be used to win every battle, every war, with no casualties. Now all he needs are, 5 test subjects.

Technology similar to that used to freeze Han Solo in Star Wars will now be used to try and save lives in real life, as doctors will trial 'suspended animation' surgery in a U.S. hospital.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
What the f.... ? You have to read this :-) It sounds like something out of Star Wars - doctors are to attempt to save the lives of ten patients by putting them in ‘suspended animation’, when they are neither alive or dead.

Here's how Pixar animated Monsters University (behind-the-scenes)
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Pixar’s animated films feature magical characters like Sully, the furry 1,000-pound beast from Monsters University. Building those computer-animated characters takes years of work, but studio engineers showed how they streamlined that process with the latest high-end graphics computers at Nvidia’s GPU Technology conference in San Jose, Calif.

The three-minute 3D film titled “Little Yeyos”, which means “Little Night Wanderers,” tells the simple story of seven chubby and baby-faced fairies roughhousing over a light-reflecting lapel pin.

Definition of Transmedia
Transmedia storytelling, as it is defined by Henry Jenkins, represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story. Click to read more.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Based on the video game Deus Ex Human Revolution, the film dives into the world of Adam Jensen, a serif industries' security consultant that gets augmented after an incident that almost took his life away. Although the film doesn't follow the narrative of the game exactly, it remains true to the theme while focusing on the relationship between Adam Jensen, and his ex girlfriend Megan Reed, a scientist hand picked by Serif Industries to head Cybernetic Augmentations. Megan is taken by the Illuminati and is asked to assist them in turning on a mysterious device but she refuses to cooperate. Jensen has been looking for Megan since she was kidnapped and has finally pinpointed her location. Adam faces a complication that he did not account for; Yelena Federova, an Augmented assassin is at the facility where Megan is being held. The film also taps, even if briefly, into Adam's mind and the struggle he must face on daily basis.

Say what you want about Snakes on a Plane as a movie, but at least it delivered on its title. There was a plane, and that plane had snakes right on it. Seriously. The title isn't a metaphor for the emotional snakes that terrorize the planes of our hearts; that plane is legit full of snakes, nose-to-tail. Rewatch it if you don't believe me. Sadly, that kind of integrity is rare in Hollywood. More often, we get our hearts broken with empty promises like ...

Space is where things happen. Time is
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Space is where things happen. Time is when things happen. And sometimes, in order to really look at the universe, you need to take those two concepts and mash them together. In this first lesson of a three-part series on space-time, hilarious hosts Andrew Pontzen and Tom Whyntie go through the basics of space and time individually, and use a flip book to illustrate how we can begin to look at them together.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
If you were born in the last two and a half decades, there's a good chance Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is the only film adaptation of the fantasy series you've ever seen. You may not be aware that back in 1978 director Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat) released an animated feature based on J.R.R. Tolkien's work. Now, 36 years later, Bakshi's son has dug up lost footage that never made it into the film. Click to watch.
