The Hobbit movie trailer has been released recently and I just saw this production video on YouTube today. It's always great to see the behind scenes of the cast and crew, especially on those huge productions. I still remember when I first started to watch this kind of stuff when got internet at home for the first time. Star Wars Episode II On Location's where hitting the net thanks to a colaboration betwen Lucasfilms and Apple. A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away in the pre-YouTube days.
3D sound with professor Choueiri
It's great to see that people around the world is constantly inventing and re-inventing stuff. This video remembered me something I read about not so long ago, Hypersonic sound featured on some Blu-rays, at technology invented by Shoji Yamashiro the guy behind the awesome OST of anime film AKIRA written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. Here the official Yamashiro's page where Hypersonic effect is explained.
AMERICAN EXPRESS "My Life, My Card" directed by Wes Anderson
Video info:
Anderson starred in and directed an American Express "My Life, My Card" commercial, which chronicled the "filming" of an action movie starring Jason Schwartzman. Anderson acts as if he is being interviewed by someone from American Express for the ad, while walking around completing tasks on set, a scene paying homage to the movie "Day for Night" by Francois Truffaut. It was aired on television and in movie theaters in both a short and extended version, during and shortly after the theatrical 2004 release of "The Life Aquatic: with Steve Zissou".
Jobs, Einstein & Franklin by Walter Isaacson
This days, I'm reading more than ever on my kindle . I just finished Steve Jobs Biography by Walter Isaacson and decided to start reading Albert Einstein's and Benjamin Franklin's biographies, all by the same author. I had a good time with Jobs' bio, I read it on in front of the computer, pausing here and there, to check out pictures and keynotes of the time, to have a better idea of what was going on in each moment. It's an enhanced reading. I believe, that if you read it on an iPad that would be an even greater experience.
