Disturbing Octopus on my plate!What looks like live fish and octopus in soup bowls, are actually photorealistic paintings by Singapore-based artist K. Lye. The artist paints the fish layer by layer, pouring resin into a bowl and painting it with acrylics, with the sandwiched slices revealing more and more of each creature. To bring realistic technique to another level, Lye added protruding objects like pebbles and egg shells, and painted on top of them. Alive Without Breath does make for a pretty accurate name of the series!

Great article.

 

The player is now not a witness, he is not being guided through a story. He is now a part of it. It's not a case of watching a character. The player is the character, the character is an extension of the player in the same way a car is. The character therefore inherits all the personality traits of the player. This can create situations that detriment a linear story, - click and read more.

Katie Chase's curator insight, December 5, 2013 5:28 AM

Storytelling for games seems difficult because the original author has to come up with so many alternative endings. Whoever is playing the game hears and sees a story that is uniquely theirs. This type of interaction really does set gaming apart from other types of media, such as television and film. I believe this is what attracts people to games. –Aellise Czupryna

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Udgivet den 21/11/2013

http://www.youtube.com/user/RayWilliamJohnson


This is the trailer for the full length 5 part webseries Riley Rewind. The series will be available to watch for free on Youtube and other platforms on December 12.

-----------FAQs-----------

(Q) How long is this?
(A) The whole thing is about an hour long.

(Q) Is this a webseries or a film?
(A) I'd say it's more of a webseries.


(Q) What is the total budget of this?
(A) It cost roughly $120K to make.


(Q) How long did it take to film this?
(A) We spent about 10-11 days shooting. Pre and post are a whole other story.


(Q) What kind of camera did you shoot on?
(A) Due to budget and availability, we used different cameras for different parts. We used a Scarlet, a C100, and a 5D.


(Q) Why are you releasing it for free?
(A) Because it's my first project of this scope. I want you to watch it, and give me constructive feedback, so that I can learn from this experience and the next one will be better.


(Q) Why does this remind me of [insert name of another time travel film, show, or video game]?
(A) Because in the world of entertainment, nearly every idea has been done, redone, and beaten to death. This is just our spin on the whole "character who can time travel" concept.


(Q) As director, why couldn't you have done this or that better?
(A) Because, as with anything, there's a learning curve. Let me know specifically what you want done better, and I'll fix it on the next project.


(Q) Why did you choose to have a character looking directly at the camera?
(A) Because we like it, aesthetically, and we thought it would work well on a platform like Youtube as a good way to draw in the audience in the shortest amount of time possible.


(Q) Why does this look like a B movie?
(A) Because essentially it is. To put it into perspective, the B movie Sharknado had 10x our budget. 


(Q) Why is your studio called Runaway Machine now instead of Runaway Planet?
(A) Years ago, someone had already filed for trademark of the name Runaway Planet.


(Q) Do you play a major character in the series?
(A) I have a minor throwaway role with a few lines, because that isn't what I wanted to focus on with this project. I wanted to focus on producing and directing.


(Q) Why do I feel like I hate this or that character?
(A) Remain calm, and remember that it's a work of fiction.


(Q) Are you doing any more of these types of projects?
(A) Our next series is a different concept and is already in development.

Disney Animation reveals the tech behind rendering realistic snow in Frozen | News | Geek.com | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Disney’s upcoming animated film Frozen is hitting theaters in just a few days, and the company’s animation gurus have posted a quick video explainer that goes over how Frozen’s snow effects were created.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Snow is a difficult substance to simulate in animations — it is solid in that it’s frozen water, but differing levels of moisture can make it behave in different ways. The existing techniques for replicating fluids don’t really make sense either because snow can be packed into solid clumps (or snowballs in the common vernacular). Disney animators instead worked from the most basic level up by using a hybrid Eulerian/Lagrangian Material Point Method.

Augmented Reality Just Beginning to Change How We Interact With the Real World | Machinimania | Scoop.it

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

Adding a social element to AR is another interesting development. For example, AR is being used by a start-up company in San Francisco called CrowdOptic that can recognize which direction a crowd of people have their phones pointing. They can then invite others using that app to see what all those phones are seeing. For example, at a NASCAR race, fans who can’t see the entire track could point their phones at a distant turn and get photos and videos gathered by others who are closer to the action.
