Superhero Factory Marvel Tries On A New Digital Utility Belt

Superhero Factory Marvel Tries On A New Digital Utility Belt | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Tara Moore:  "With adaptive sound to original shows and even Wolverine's new adventures in Japan, the comic company's growing far bigger than books."


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

Comic book geeks: Marvel loves you. But it wants to expand its social circle. Don't worry. Whether it's debuting Wolverine's Japanese adventures or adding adaptive sound to your reading experience, the company will always hold you diehards dear. But at this year’s SXSW Interactive festival, Marvel unveiled five digital initiatives to woo non-fans, too.

The Digital Rocking Chair's curator insight, March 11, 2013 11:43 PM

Comics are becoming a powerful option for transmedia projects so it's interesting to look at how the genre is evolving ...

Monsters University - Official Trailer #2 (HD)

http://www.joblo.com - "Monsters University" - Official Trailer #2 (HD) Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster,...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. 

Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar's "Monsters University" is directed by Dan Scanlon ("Cars," "Mater and the Ghostlight," "Tracy"), produced by Kori Rae ("Up," "The Incredibles," "Monsters, Inc.") and features music from future Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame--inductee and award winning composer Randy Newman ("Monsters, Inc.," "Toy Story 3"). The film opens in U.K. cinemas on July 13, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D™ in select cinemas.

More a dark fairy tale about vengeance than the action-packed crime thriller it purports to be, the film is at times exhilarating, bold, and beautiful — when it’s not busy being ludicrous, fragmented, and just plain stupid.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The International Antiwar Cartoon Salon was founded 30 years ago in Kragujevac, Serbia, one of 130 so-called peace messenger cities around the world. A distinguished panel of art judges selects the finalists from more than 500 submissions, with a grand prize of 1,500 euros awarded to the top winner by the International Association of Peace Messenger Cities.

Lauren Silva's curator insight, October 12, 2014 7:28 PM

An antiwar cartoon exhibit is something that I fully support. I believe in diplomacy over war. War leads to destruction, lives loss, and more anger. Compromise is key, and negotiations are the strongest form of global diplomacy. I think that encouraging antiwar statements at college will fuel brilliant thinkers into shaping our international relations to affect the world more positively.

Luca Brigada's curator insight, March 18, 2013 6:56 PM

"Ideally before any show begins production we'll sit down with our TV development team, the show's creators and our marketing and digital teams to kick around social ideas and discuss what we think makes the most sense for that particular show. We focus on ideas that complement the show's content, that will have a wide reach and that are technically feasible to achieve.

Our major emphasis is that any social TV content has to feel organic to the audience and authentic to the show, not like it's a force fit, because that's not fun for anyone. We'll discuss dozens of ideas and then hone in on the one that makes the most sense. Sometimes that's a variation on something we've done before, but most often it's something that no one has tried before. Those are the most gratifying."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Studio Ghibli is operating at full tilt, with 250 employees working on two 2013 films, Hayao's "The Wind Rises" and "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" by his longtime creative partner, Isao Takahata.

Nevertheless, Goro is nervous about what's to come.

"To be honest I don't think it's a bright future," he said. "With animation, people who have the capacity to direct right now are over 40 years old. There's a shortage of talented young animators. It feels to me like the golden age of animation may be coming to an end."
