Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

From time to time, the local news coughs up a story that's basically the opening 20 minutes of a horror movie -- in other words, the portion of the film between the opening credits and the scene where the doomed, 38-year-old high school cheerleader goes skinny-dipping.

Here are five tales from 2013 that are destined to someday be slapped with a screamingly obnoxious "BASED ON TRUE EVENTS" tag line.

Printing Chocolate in 3D: Does the Medium Have a Message?
Huffington Post (blog)
It was only a matter of time before 3D printing technologies would be applied to chocolate.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Being a perennially popular sweet treat, chocolate is an attractive tool to make a new and potentially unsettling technology more accessible to an audience skeptical about the moral and social implications of 3D printing.

Not Just CGI: The Incredible Tech of Horror-Movie Monsters

Not Just CGI: The Incredible Tech of Horror-Movie Monsters | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Hollywood has advanced far beyond monsters in floppy rubber suits. Pulling technology from fields as diverse as dentistry and automobile racing, special effects' gurus create creepy monsters, gruesome murder victims and other movie magic.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Meanwhile, 3D printing has changed the way Clement does business. The effects' gurus can sculpt a monster head using a computer program, then make tweaks and print it out.

"It's an extremely fast way of sculpting and of doing concepts," Clement said. Concepts are the mock-ups shown to moviemakers as a sort of first draft of the effect. Instead of building them from scratch only to have to re-do them with filmmakers' fixes, Clement's team can now keep them digital-only until all the changes have been made.

"On Harry Potter, we had a big old giant spider we did for the last film and we had to build a smaller version of the same thing, so we had it scanned and 3D printed," Coulier said.

Fake movie blood—sometimes called “Kensington Gore,” after the street of that name in London—began evolving long before 1976. For black-and-white films, when blood was permitted at all (the censorship guidelines of the Hays Code in Hollywood didn’t much allow it), filmmakers used something quite simple: chocolate syrup.

Marvel's next movie is getting an extra dose of strange: Movies.com is reporting that Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige wants to feature Doctor Strange in the studio's next phase of superhero flicks.

"Doc Strange, as I've been saying for years, is a movie I believe we should make -- we're just figuring out how to make it a great movie," Feige told the site. "It is in active development right now. Whether that's one of the movies we announce for 2016 or 2017, we have to see. I think it'll be the middle of next year before we announce officially what the post 'Ant-Man' films will be."

Jonathan Gottschall:  'In his 1897 book What is Art? the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy defined art as “an infection.” Good art, Tolstoy wrote, infects the audience with the storyteller’s emotion and ideas.'

What we experience in real life isn't enough, so our digital lives are becoming more and more 3D.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

What we experience in real life isn’t enough, so our digital lives are becoming more and more 3D. iOS 7 has parallax, movies want you to feel like you’ve been hit in the face with a satellite, and lots of developers have been trying to make 3D photography easy. Seene for iOS seems like a solid step.

Basically the app works by breaking the object you’re shooting down into points and then calculating depth based on how those points move and distort as you move your phone around while shooting the image.

How to keep your real name and face out of Google's ads | PCWorld

How to keep your real name and face out of Google's ads | PCWorld | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Google just updated its terms of service to allow the company to use your real name, face, and comments in ads. Here's how to slam the brakes on it.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

But while Facebook forces all users to participate in “sponsored stories,” Google gives you the opportunity to opt out of its ad program. Minors will be automatically excluded, but you’ll have to manually tell Google to leave your name out of its ads if you’re over 18. Fortunately, it’s easy to do so.

Alexina's curator insight, October 13, 2013 5:59 PM

In case you missed it, effective 11 November, Google is going to start using your real face and name next to "reviews, advertising and other commercial contexts". Here is an overview of their changes to the TOS for Google accounts. http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/changes/

Asil's curator insight, October 19, 2013 4:38 PM

To stop Google from using details from your Google+ profile in its advertising campaign, you’ll need to head to the Shared Endorsements page on Google+.
