Animator vs. Animation IV
Posted in: Animation
The struggle between a stick figure and its creator, a computer animator. In this fourth installment, the animator is finally shown in real life interacting with his computer monitor. The stick figure, resisting his tormentor, attacks his social life by hacking his Facebook account, traveling onto his iPhone via USB cord, and drawing animations of his own to dismantle the animation interface. Funded through Kickstarter! http://kck.st/174aalw Music by Sarah Eide http://www.thesugarbirdnest.com Alan Becker Twitter: http://twitter.com/alanthebecker Alan Becker Facebook: http://facebook.com/alanthebecker Alan Becker Website: http://alanbecker.net Alan Becker’s Animation Tutorials: http://youtube.com/alanbeckertutorials Alan Becker in Minecraft: http://youtube.com/alanbeckerminecraft Make a donation: http://www.alanbecker.net/donate

McDonalds has opened a purpose built customer learning lab restaurant in Sydney this week, Kicking off a bold plan to transform the Macca’s experience for Australians over the next three years. The Castle Hill restaurant, designed to give customers a glimpse into the future of McDonald’s in Australia, is the first to offer a new customisable gourmet burger menu called ‘Create Your Taste’. Using digital kiosks, customers can build their own burgers from scratch, choosing from 19 ingredients. Customers are also treated to table service, allowing them to sit down and enjoy a drink while they wait for their creation to be made fresh off the grill and brought to their table.
The McDonalds Create Your Taste gourmet burger and table service experience will be rolled out in all restaurants over the next six to nine months. The Castle Hill restaurant is the first of many new initiatives that will be implemented around the country, with the aim of adapting the service and food experience McDonald’s offers its customers to suit the changing pace of their lives. Through new technology, customer service approaches and menu options, decisions about how McDonald’s will serve Australians in the future is being placed fully in the hands of customers. Whether they want the iconic Big Mac and fast convenience McDonald’s is famous for, or a gourmet burger in a more relaxed dining environment, customers will have more options than ever before.
The innovations McDonald’s plans to roll out to restaurants everywhere over the next three years include:
- Create Your Taste – customisable gourmet burger menu
- Self-service digital kiosks
- Table service
- Mobile ordering app
- Digital menu boards
- Home delivery
- Café barista made coffee in drive-thru
Andrew Gregory, Chief Executive Officer, McDonald’s Australia says the change has been led by customers.
“McDonald’s is innovating and changing again to meet the needs of our customers. All of our innovations have been led by Australians. What we’re really doing here is just what our customers have asked us to do. An important part of our new learning lab restaurants is that we take customers along the journey with us and get their feedback – we want to make sure Macca’s restaurants of the future are what Aussies ordered.”
Three more Customer Learning Labs will open this year, with a further ten planned in early 2015 before a full roll out.

Advertisers love slapping hashtags onto everything, but it often feels as if they’re putting hair gel on a toupée. Pointless and inauthentic. This new spot from StudioAKA, though, introduces “the Spud Bros” and a hashtag that actually makes me want to participate in something. Encouraging guys to examine themselves for early signs of testicular cancer,… Read more »

A little tinkering from me that shows what you can do with 3D printers today. Most parts of this paper airplane machine gun had printed by fabberhouse.de (the rest of them are to buy via Internet or hardware store). By the way, I use a cordless screwdriver from China for driving.
Eine kleine Bastelei von mir, die zeigt, was man schon heute alles mit 3D-Druckern machen kann. Fast alle Teile dieser Papierflieger-MP wurden von fabberhouse.de gedruckt (der Rest im Internet oder Baumarkt dazugekauft). Als Antrieb verwende ich übrigens einen Akkuschrauber aus China.
