Lucas and Spielberg on storytelling in games: 'it's not going to be Shakespeare'

Lucas and Spielberg on storytelling in games: 'it's not going to be Shakespeare' | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Bryan Bishop:  'Speaking Wednesday at a panel at the University of Southern California — joined by Microsoft’s Don Mattrick — George Lucas and Steven Spielberg argued that introducing the concept of interactivity fundamentally changes the experience. "They’re always going to be different," Lucas said when asked if movies and games were going to become more similar. "They’re never going to be the same."'


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

" By its very nature there cannot be a plot in a game. You can’t plot out a football game. You can’t plot out feeding Christians to lions. It’s not a plot."

Louise Robinson-Lay's curator insight, June 14, 2013 6:22 PM

The way that we connect to static story as opposed to interactive story is an interesting topic. The masters of the genres discuss it here.

In a normal summer, having Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University would be more than enough animated fuzzy-wuzziness to satiate audiences.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

For the past handful of years, there have been no more than four or five studio animated films a year, plus a handful of indie titles. There are eight releases this year and 10 next year.

iOS7 Icon Backlash: Designers Take to Dribbble to "Vent Design"

iOS7 Icon Backlash: Designers Take to Dribbble to "Vent Design" | Machinimania | Scoop.it
The social uproar is focusing on the new iOS 7 UI design - specifically the home screen icons.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
" Many predicted that Apple would be taking the general UI of iOS in a flatter direction, beginning the process of putting to bed their long history with skeuomorphism. And they did. They went all the way. Some are saying Apple and legendary designer Jony Ive took things too far, but of course that (as always) is up for debate."

When you move the phone the background image appears as if it’s in 3D and will pan and tilt to your motion.

WordPress vs Joomla vs Drupal - CMS Popularity War: A look on the popularity of these cms's based on google insight, keyword analysis and infographic
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Let’s look at the 3 CMS Applications and discuss what each one seems to be better for. If you are a beginner and this is your first website project on your own, the consensus is that WordPress is the way for you to go. If you have some experience with CMS or web development, then you would find Joomla! has the ability to do more of what you want with greater flow. Drupal falls slightly outside both of these categories because it is not easy to install or use if you are a beginner and requires more programming knowledge than Joomla! or WordPress.

MANILA, Philippines - Audiences love to root for courageous dreamers who pursue their goals when the odds are stacked firmly against them.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

“I think everybody feels like an underdog to some degree. It's why DAVID AND GOLIATH is such a relatable story and such a great parable. Overcoming enormous obstacles in order to achieve a goal is what makes an achievement mean something. It's the key ingredient,” says the actor Ryan Reynolds, who voices TURBO. Currently at the top of his game as an actor, Reynolds says he can identify with the hero of the film.


Great storytelling is all about if people can identify them selfs within it. It seems we have one here.

Machinima: How brands are making films within games | Machinimania | Scoop.it

"Creating movies from within computer games may sound like something best left to teenage boys, but the art of machinima, making animated films from within the real-time 3-D 'engine' of a video game, is proving anything but says Aaron Martin, Collective London's head of strategy" ...

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Seeing the opportunity, EA commissioned Stoneman to create a piece of machinima that showcased the new downloadable content while paying homage to those "Only in Battlefield" moments.

The resulting short movie quickly became one of the most effective pieces of content EA has produced, generating more than 765,000 views and 25,000 likes without even as much as a sponsored post in media support. EA’s campaign for 'Battlefield 3' garnered them the top spot in the newly released Social Brands 100 for 2013.

Amazon launches Storyteller to turn scripts into storyboards -- automagically

Amazon launches Storyteller to turn scripts into storyboards -- automagically | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Excerpt from review article by VentureBeat:
"Upload your script, choose some backgrounds, and magically created a professional-looking storyboard of your movie. Or the graphic novel version of your text-based anything.

Amazon Studios released Storyteller today to allow writers and filmmakers to quickly, easily — and cheaply — storyboard their scripts.

Roy Price, Amazon’s director of Studios said: “Storyteller provides a digital backlot, acting troupe, prop department, and assistant editor — everything you need to bring your story to life.”

You start by uploading a script to Amazon Studios — or by playing with one that’s already there. Then simply page through the script paragraph by paragraph. Storyteller will try to match up characters, props, and background with the words in each chunk of text, and it does a surprisingly good job.

But if you don’t like what Storyteller gives, you can choose from its library, or even upload your own custom background or characters. Currently, the software has a library of thousands of props, characters, and backgrounds..."
