David Foster’s Amazing Hammered-Nail Portraits

David Foster’s Amazing Hammered-Nail Portraits | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Who would have ever thought that fine art could be created out of something as crude as a hammer and a bunch of nails? I’ve seen several art forms made using Pointillism before, but former architect David Foster’s work is quite unique.

Via Annie Brightstar
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

David’s art covers a range of subjects: celebrities, animals, flowers and get this – even a hammer and nail! The level of precision and realism in his art is a result of years of practicing and perfecting his technique. On his website he says, “I have always been fascinated with how little information the brain needs to interpret a picture.” He loves the simplicity of a picture just made out of dots.

Why 'The Stand' Should Kick-Start A Stephen King Movie Universe
MTV.com
Hollywood has been desperately looking for the next incarnation of the Marvel movie universe, a series of interconnected movies that lead to some giant conclusion.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

If you're looking for a truly original way to create a new, unique movie universe, look no further than novelist Stephen King.

The idea started tickling our brains after MTV News talked to writer/director Scott Cooper about his upcoming adaptation of King novel "The Stand." Unfortunately, since we broke that news it was announced that Cooper has since left the project. Though we're disappointed to see the talented director leave, this does create an opportunity for Warner Brothers to embrace the project in a whole new way.

Animation film Mahabharat's movie trailer out
India Today
The grand epic that has seen countless versions over the years, has got its first ever animation makeover. This also marks the epic tale's first move towards the big cinema screen.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Considering this is Mahabharat we're talking about, it should come as no surprise that people are already unhappy. Why? Because reportredly Sita has been portrayed as a little on the plus side, and for generations who are only used to a slimmer version of the poster child for Indian brides, this bit has been hard to digest.

That aside, chew on this thought for a while. The film is reportedly the most expensive animated film made here.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Popeye the Sailor -- Fleisher Studios
This is a list of the 109 cartoons starring Popeye the Sailor, produced from 1933 to 1942 by Fleischer Studios for Paramount Pictures.

During the course of production in 1941, Paramount assumed control of the Fleischer studio, removing founders Max and Dave Fleischer from control of the studio and renaming the organisation Famous Studios by 1942. Popeye cartoons continued production under Famous Studios following 1942's Baby Wants a Bottleship.
Popeye the Sailor series

All cartoons are one-reel (6 to 10 minutes) and in black and white, except for the three Popeye Color Specials (Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor from 1936, Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves from 1937, and Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp from 1939), which are two-reels (20 minutes) long and in Technicolor.

Dave Fleischer was the credited director on every cartoon produced by Fleischer Studios. Fleischer's actual duties were those of a film producer and creative supervisor, with the head animators doing much of the work assigned to animation directors in other studios. The head animator is the first animator listed. Credited animators are therefore listed for each short.

Popeye the Sailor -- The Mighty Navy # 100 November 14, 1941
Popeye keeps running afoul of his commander on board ship. He tries to fly a fighter plane, but crashes it in the ocean. The captain is furious with Popeye's blundering until the enemy (name your own) approaches and starts bombing the ship. Soon, they are surrounded by enemy ships. Popeye picks up a cannon and uses it like a Gatling gun. Out of bullets and with one ship left to attack, Popeye opens a can of spinach, loads himself in a cannon and fires away. With a mighty blow from his fist, he sinks the ship. Popeye's reward is his picture in a circle as the official insignia of the Navy's Bomber Squadron.

This is the first wartime Popeye showing him in the Navy white uniform- ill-fitting. Popeye must've really been attached to that navy outfit, for he continues to wear it throughout his theatrical career and into his 1960's TV syndicated years!

Opening titles are superimposed over the action.

The ending music is "Hail Columbia Gem of the Ocean," with the fanfare bars similar to those used in the Superman march, but it is not the same music per se.

The picture that Popeye was given is, in fact, the actual insignia for the U. S. Navy Bomber Squadron during World War II.

The original black and white cartoon has been colourised.

Microsoft debuts 3D printing app for Windows 8.1
PCWorld
On Friday, Microsoft released its 3D Builder app, which allows Windows 8.1 users to print 3D objects, but not much else.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The simple, simplistic, free app from Microsoft provides a basic way to print common 3D objects, as well as to import other files from SkyDrive or elsewhere. But the degree of customization that the app allows is small, so 3D Builder basically serves as an introduction to the world of 3D printing.
