Heh. What do you get when you glue together two Panasonic AG-DVX100A cams, bypass the miniDV tape resolution and colour ceilings by feeding the data directly from their a/d converters via USB, mod a pair of Apple Mac Minis to boot from flash memory and smack in a pair of fast hard drives, sync both [...]
There’s a terrific interview with Richard Linklater in Filmmaker Magazine about the making of Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly along with a few of the cool rotoscoped images.

Newsvine
Posted in GEEKDOM, HEH, PARTICIPATORY MEDIA on January 6, 2006 |
Today I started playing around with Newsvine (private beta), my initial impressions are as follows: 1) The UI is really well done. 2) Their search scheme wherein you can search tags or full text is simple, elegant and effective. 3) It’s not clear to me if the incentives to publish are quite right.
