Dog Boy Reviews Avatar

Really excellent facial animation work here.  I’m not sure if this is an individual (if so, bravo!) or a studio trying for some kind of viral response.


More Panoramas

I took a walk down to the beach with my buddies Jason an Courtney a few months ago – just unloading the camera tonight.  Photoshop’s autostitch tool is amazing.
This is a seadragon viewer available from none other than Microsoft (click the full screen icon, it’s cool). Their R&D guys are also amazing. Gosh.. [...]


NBC UX #Fail

Me: home from a long day.
Deb and the Girls™: sitting in the living room watching some crappy chick flick.

Modeled in Silo3D, textured and rendered in Maya, tweaked in Photoshop.

Repo Men

Not a remake of the trippy 80’s cult film.  Looks like a good ride film,… Jude Law as a muscleboy?  Really?


A Paleontologists take on the critters of Pandora

Darren Naish, Tetrapod PHD fires off a really interesting scientists view of the creatures of the planet Pandora from James Cameron’s Avatar.


DayBreakers

Kenna and I went to see Daybreakers last night on a whim.  If 70mm over-the-top blood explosions are your bag, this is the movie for you.
Directed by another Hollywood  brother team, Michael and Peter Spierig, I got the feeling they watched Zombieland and the last Rambo movie a bunch of times before they shot this. [...]


Microblogging as Crack

My buddy Erik has a witty and thought-provoking blog post about the drug-like phenomenon of microblogging.
I’m posting it on Twitter and Tumblr…
