PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:31:05 -0800

Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - http://www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement." The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.

Phantom Cocktails

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:00:45 -0800

Spent a day with the Phantom, creating opening credits for Nik Perleros' "How To Get Laid". Only parts of the shots were used, so I decided to do a little edit to show off more of what we shot. Most of the shots were around 5000fps, some of the martini shots were at 8900fps. Music by The Beastie Boys, "Here's a Little Something for Ya" To Watch "How To Get Laid" please visit: http://vimeo.com/32954338 www.migota.net

Pictures Restoration using Adobe's Image De-Blurring

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 02:53:00 -0700

via pcworld.com

It looks like an amazing tool with robust and working algorithm behind it. It does stunning job of removing blurs in the photograph.

Adobe’s de-blurring tool works by analyzing an image for how the camera moved during an exposure. From that information, it creates a "blur kernel" that shows the camera’s trajectory and how long the camera stays at each spatial location.

But it works only on one type of shake, mostly camera shake. But that is in itself big stuff.

FUTURE PROOF

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:46:07 -0700

FUTURE PROOF - 2011 A/NZ PromaxBDA Opener The DMC Initiative (DMCI) developed this piece as a response to the 2011 A/NZ PromaxBDA Conference title of Future Proof. Our approach was to focus not on futuristic notions but to consider that which is timeless. People, the expression of self and the interactions between each other are timeless qualities relevant to creativity, no matter what the future holds. The concept started quite fluidly, by briefing a variety of dancers, with individual performance styles, to develop choreography based on the concepts of growth, sharing, sending and receiving. Directed by Nathan Drabsch, the performances were shot over one day using two RED Epic cameras, capturing the action at high speed. All design, editing and post production was done in-house by The DMCI team. We worked closely with composers and audio designers Mark Brandis & Jeff Black from ism studios, to create a unique score that perfectly compliments the performances. As a whole, the focus is on the dancers as they create and interact with abstract forms in a vast unknown world. Their own movements determine the creation and final destruction of these elements. Their own paths of communication and creative expression have come full circle, and all that remains is the individual.

Post-it Note Wars in Paris

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 05:39:00 -0700

via business.blogs.cnn.com

(CNN) – As fears of a euro meltdown continue apace, a guerrilla war of Post-it note art has broken out in office spaces across corporate Paris.
The first shot was fired four months ago, when employees at French computer gaming company Ubisoft – maker of the popular "Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell" and "Ghost Recon" game series – put up a Post-it note image from the 1980s classic “Space Invaders” on the window.
