Our friend Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing has had a sit-down with the folks from Apple to talk about the new Final Cut Studio, along with other videobloggers and Web producers. Yep, Apple is happily aware that video production isn’t only limited to big production houses. Xeni has a nice overview of the highlights to […]

Beautiful, Orgasmic Animation of Robots, Modular Synthesis
Voltage from Bam Studio on Vimeo. Oh, sure, it’s all fun and games until your modular robots have a little too much fun and your rig erupts into a fireball. But then, modular synthesis fans – you understand, nonetheless. William Paiva sends us his work as one of the animators and writes: Hi everybody. I’m […]
iDrum Video Game Edition: 8-bit iPhone Drum Machine Fun Times
If you’re looking for something fun to fiddle around with this weekend, this could be your ticket: we’re tipped off that iZotope have released a video game-themed expansion for their iPhone-iPod touch drum machine. As Timbaland would surely say, were he asked: T: It’s from a video game, idiot! [laughs] P: [laughs] T: Freaking jerk. […]

If You Had Building-Sized Hands: Brilliant, Immersive Facade Projection
555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo.

64-bit Memory Still Not Present in Final Cut Studio
There’s been some chatter today about Final Cut Studio and “64-bit.” Now first, simply saying 64-bit is fairly meaningless. 64-bit applications can refer to 64-bit processing (as in computation) and 64-bit memory space. In audio, it’s even more confusing, as we routinely refer to 64-bit audio signal – which is something that can actually be […]
Too Much Fun with Thermography and Spitting
Oh, don’t act all surprised and shocked. You know you’d go and do the same thing if you had access to a thermo camera. Bartek Polonski sends us an unusual twist on computer vision, combining thermography with basic code in Processing in order to subtract water from the scene. (No details on the specific camera […]
