A great site just launched by my company, IQ Interactive, and led by a co-worker Joel Krieger. This site for Wachovia interviews women with stories of planning for the future. Really Good
After all the controversy I decided to read the book before the release of the movie. I'm glad I did. Though it seriously differs from my belief system it was a solid book that created a new world that didn't really remind me of anything else I had ever read.
OK, So I realize I'm behind the times... but I Wii released Super Metroid for the SNES the other day on Virtual Console. I don't know why, but I never played any of the Metroid games until the Prime versions on the gamecube. Those were pretty good but never really kept my interest.
This was a New Year's card done by Monoface | 5. I love it
Ok, So I am a huge fan of over-the-top movies that cost millions of dollars to make and have an unbelievable story, and amazing effects. That being said, I saw Transformers last night. To my surprise, the parts that were suppose to be funny actually were. However, I also found myself laughing at parts that were suppose to be serious.
You know, if you have nothing else to do. According to ComingSoon.net, Disney has already scheduled a release date for its game-to-something-vaguely-adhering-to-the-characteristics-of-cinema adaptation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Arriving on July 10th, 2009, the film will presumably spring from the world established by Ubisoft's modern Prince of Persia trilogy and then be run through the standard movie exec alteration gauntlet.

Perhaps it's more akin to the PAC full-body armor featured in Battlefield: 2142, but there's no denying that Troy Hurtubise's 'Trojan' suit is straight outta video game lore. The man responsible for inventing the bear-proof suit has developed, in his own words, the "first ballistic, full exoskeleton body suit of armor."
Six weeks ago, I began what has become a huge obsession of mine. It is called the “Wii Sports Experiment” (Read my original announcement of this from Early December ‘06). I outlined a 6 week game plan for myself, the idea being that I would continue ALL normal activity and eating habits, and simply add 30 minutes of Wii Sports to my day. For the past month and a half, I’ve stuck to these guidelines very strictly.
Capping literally years of speculation on perhaps the most intensely followed unconfirmed product in Apple's history -- and that's saying a lot -- the iPhone has been announced today. Yeah, we said it: "iPhone," the name the entire free world had all but unanimously christened it from the time it'd been nothing more than a twinkle in Stevie J's eye (comments, Cisco?). Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that's frickin' thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it's close to your face, 2 megapixel cam, 4GB or 8 GB of storage, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP, WiFi that automatically engages when in range, and quad-band GSM radio with EDGE. Perhaps most amazingly, though, it somehow runs OS X with support for Widgets, Google Maps, and Safari, and iTunes (of course) with CoverFlow out of the gate. A partnership with Yahoo will allow all iPhone customers to hook up with free push IMAP email. Apple quotes 5 hours of battery life for talk or video, with a full 16 hours in music mode -- no word on standby time yet. In a twisted way, this is one rumor mill we're almost sad to see grind to a halt; after all, when is the next time we're going to have an opportunity to run this picture? The 4GB iPhone will go out the door in the US as a Cingular exclusive for $499 on a two-year contract, 8GB for $599. Ships Stateside in June, Europe in fourth quarter, Asia in 2008.

Yup, as suspected Microsoft is adding IPTV to the Xbox 360. They're way light on details, but during tonight's Microsoft keynote Robbie Bach gave a sneak peek at a new service called IPTV on Xbox 360. Like we guessed, the service will offer live streaming broadcasts, and do stuff like let you play a game on Xbox Live while recording a show in the background. IPTV on Xbox 360 won't be available until the holiday season this year, but they do say that programming will be from providers who are already offering services based on Microsoft TV IPTV Edition. Bach also hinted there will be some social aspects to the service that will "make it easy for people to access and discover their favorite content and share their personal experiences with the communities they are part of." And that's pretty much all we know right now, we probably won't know for months how much the service will cost and whether it'll require a larger drive to work.
Ladies and gentlemen! I introduce The UPS Whiteboard Microsite.
Around 100 HD shots were used to allow a user to choose their business problems and be presented with a solution all from UPS' resident expert (Forgive the photo... it was shot with my cell phone) All of this in the hopes that the user would feel like he/she was having a friendly conversation with a representative from UPS. This created quite a challenge considering the size video we were going to be using and the variations of solutions that could be provided.
35 of the site's segments were shot over a giant green screen and followed the talent on a dolly to capture comfortable motion. These were used in the menu selection. In the site, the talent walks along an endless whiteboard presenting options while everything he says is animated behind him. The rest were a combination of close up confirmation shots showing him circling your selection and special "what if moments." "What if moments" is what we called the segments that mostly emulated the tv spots. They are essentially a cartoon drawing on the whiteboard that the talent adds to to tell a story of situation you might encounter.
All of this leads up leads up to a 45 second animation that tells another story about the same product in more detail. These animations were designed for feel like the user has dove into the drawings on the whiteboard and were create through a combination of hand animation, after effects, and Maya.
Interesting article on Google... Seeing how I'm using almost every tool they provide on a daily basis, it makes sense.A few bulletpoints for the topics covered:
Just wait until Google buys Tivo and they own television advertising and web distribution of video as well. ;0)
