Marvel at Netflix: Intersecting Comics and Transmedia The Nerd Machine

Marvel at Netflix: Intersecting Comics and Transmedia The Nerd Machine | Machinimania | Scoop.it

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

Disney/Marvel has inked a rather epic deal with Netflix: four series with 13 episodes each, all leading up to a final team-up miniseries. The subjects of those series: Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. And if that wasn’t a sweet enough deal for fans, the deal is also part of a broader arrangement between the two that grants Netflix exclusive, first-run subscription rights to Disney and Marvel films - See more at: http://www.thenerdmachine.com/marvel-at-netflix-intersecting-comics-and-transmedia/#sthash.VrVc0Tpb.dpuf

The Nerd Machine:  "Not content with ruling the big screen when it comes to comic book movies, Disney/Marvel has inked a rather epic deal with Netflix: four series with 13 episodes each, all leading up to a final team-up miniseries" ....

malek's curator insight, November 9, 2013 10:53 AM

a great strategic move: 2nd tier heroes who won't make it to big screen deployed for TV shows. Spinning an old asset is always one of the best marketing decisions you can make.

Asil's curator insight, November 9, 2013 6:13 PM
This is pretty amazing news. Disney has always been a leader in expanding its product into new markets.

New World Notes: Japanese-Themed Hosoi Ichiba Sims Leave SL for Kitely

New World Notes: Japanese-Themed Hosoi Ichiba Sims Leave SL for Kitely | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Hosoi Ichiba, a Japanese-themed SL market which supported six very beautiful sims, has entirely left Second Life, moving to the OpenSim-based Kitely.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The sims had attracted a community of some 150-200 SLers, owner Amiryu Hosoi tells me, "All very active in samurai, geisha and villagers roles", but the collapsing real world economy made it difficult for Hosoi to maintain those islands.

Set in a beautiful forest, poor Bear is the only animal that never gets to celebrate Christmas because he has to hibernate every year. However, this year is different. This year Hare has a brilliant idea.

GE experimenting with '3D painting' to repair metal parts

Everyone is already all over this whole 3D printing thing. But 3D painting? It's a much emptier field.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Everyone is already all over this whole 3D printing thing. But 3D painting? It's a much emptier field. GE is experimenting with such a technology called "cold spray" that slowly builds up layers of metal by spraying metal powder at extremely high velocities. Instead of recreating works of art, the process is used to repair worn metal components, adding years or potentially decades to their life span.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The world is changing -

 

When i grow up with spiderman it was a boy thing. Girls didn't even know who he was. 

 

He was a kickass superhero and a rolemodel for boys. Romance ??? 

No way. It was all about the good guys beating the bad boys. 

 

But now it seems the film makers want to make the icon more and more suitable for the female audience. 

 

I hope all the romance stuff won't spoil The Spiderman as we know him.

Breaking Down the Creative Process - Digital Photography School

Breaking Down the Creative Process - Digital Photography School | Machinimania | Scoop.it
What we refer to as the creative process can be broken down into four distinct stages-- Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Implementation.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about the creative process. When we talk about “creativity,” people generally end up putting themselves into one of two categories– creative or not creative. I’m always amused– and a bit leery– when people who consider themselves creative say that they have no creative process. That ideas “just come” to them. I’m not buying it - See more at: http://digital-photography-school.com/breaking-creative-process#sthash.JigODqKq.dpuf
