TOUCHSCREENS

At first instance I thought that these new way of computer was going to be far time away.... like the ones we saw in avatar for example that they pase information from a glass to another.. but now a days we saw this even in our pockets with the iPhone and iTouch.. but it's not that impressive if we see it in a large format..
I remember a think that happened to my mom and me with an touchscreen computer.. I told her that it was a touchscreen computer and i told her that she can even play with the screensaver (which it was of some fishes in a pond and if you touch them they swim away) so she started to play with it and she was impressed.. then we separated in the store and i heard her calling me so I went where she was and she told me "hey these screensaver doesn't work, the penguins don't move", "Mom it's not a touchscreen computer it's a plasma TV"...
Ok this is an example that we are not that informed about new technologies but we keep trying :)

MAGAZINE ART DIRECTION FOR THE IPAD

It's impressive how time go fast and introduce us into a new era of technology, in which instead of changing pages with all your hand, now just with a smooth movement it goes to the next.

E-magazines are the new Black of this time.. now art direction it's trying to interact more with the costumer letting them be into animations.
Otherwise E-magazines are considered into the E-cological movement that it's now being presented in society, because there are no printed issues and there are no harm to trees in this case.
I would like to have an iPad and enjoy of all these new features, i want to read Juxtapox in this... it would be cool!! :)

The Future of Web Content

There's a constant battle between APPLE, GOOGLE & ADOBE beacuse of ethe future of web content and application runtime formats.
There was a time in which it was supposed that boradsband internet connectivity would launch a faster advance in web applications and runtimes.
At first Flash platform was unique to create interactive browsers apps, but about 3 or 4 years later HTML/Javascript appeared. This was the MOTHER of YOUTUBE and other basicly.
I think that techology and need will open ways to create this kind of things in a easier way. But right now I prefer HTML as a programmer, because i think it´s more clear and faster than Flash, but well at this point I don´t know much about Actionscript 3.0, maybe I´ll be surprised later :)

Zombie Stuff

Well talking about a movie film, we started joking around about it, and we have decided to do a fñash game, about zombies that eat brains, soooo.. this is going through the city eating brains, and saying tha famous epic phrase, MORE BRAINS, after that he'll follow his way, this is a non-winner game, so just a curiuos game likeFLY GUY!

Natasha Tsakos- Upwake

Upwake is a story about Zero, a mother-day business man.. stucked between dream and reality!
Her purpose was to make an enviroment that makes the ilussion or something unreal! She tried to be like an ILUSIONIST.
Technology is an instrument that let us, create what´s on our minds, with high definition.
Her first, act were moves coordinated with sounds, when I saw it, it was kind The Umbilical Brothers. One brother is the one that's doing the sounds and the other just keep following what´s he´s hearing.
In this case, she uses 3D animations, and proyections, to be intouch with it´s performance.
´For me it´s a very interesting show.. because it´s a mix of effects. No special effects, just proyections. :)

A conversation with Martin Scorcese

This is a very good video, it explains how visual things evolve into something awesome, in the 50's movie theaters where not very usual mode to learn because of their low visual content, but now on time everything has changed.

THE CHUBBCHUBBS!

This is a short film of Pixar Animation Studio, one of my favorites, because of it's 3D modelling, illustration techniques, and music. RESPECT of Aretha Franklin,one of my favorite songs, by first instance this was what made me pay attention to it.
The animation is about aliens that lived in Glorf(Planet), Meeper is the janitor of a kind of Karaoke, he's biggest dream is to sing, and replace Ale-E-Inn's singer. But on his try he ends up messing all, and kicked out the Karaoke Bar, so he finds some specie of Jar Jar Bings and he advertise that the CHUBBCHUBBS are coming, on it's desperation to tell everyone the big news, he ends hurting the singer several times. At the time some other, tell everyone that THEY are coming. So everyone panic, and Meeper stays at the last, when he was going to escape, he notice some little kind of pigbirds, where near the calamity, Meeper hide them. So he confront the "CHUBBCHUBBS" and used his singing abilities that also failed again.
So the little pigbirds apear, and the mean ones notice there are the CHUBBCHUBBS... Sooooo i'll leave it like that and let you watch the end.

I love CHUBBCHUBBS!
