WALT’S TOTALLY LIKE THE 5TH BEATLE (NOT LIKELY).

23submarinespan

Does the adage ” if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mean anything to anybody any more?!  Word broke out that Disney is working on re-making “Yellow Submarine” for a release in 2012.  Just because Wall-e was awesome doesn’t mean you can make better the beautifully animated and trippy escapade George Dunning created for the Beatles.  You can try to prove us wrong Disney, but we’re not counting on it.

Siggraph2007 – ILM – Transformers youtube clips…

hey all
apologies if these have been put on this site before but I thought I’d share them. Basically some chap filmed a couple of 10min clips showing the various tricks n techniques the guys at ILM did for the 1st transformers film. There’s some really good thoughts n tricks and I couldn’t find any case study stuff for transformers on this site so thought this might provide a good substitute 🙂 Its been a good source of reference for my own transformer wip too.

Design Folios with Google Maps

Using an application, like CASA’s Image Cutter or the Automatic Tile Cutter, you can create your own map tiles for Google Maps. This means that you can replace image map tiles with any image tiles you like including other maps, or more importantly for designers and artist, replace them with portfolio images!

Here are some 5 examples of design portfolios using Google Maps:

All you need to do is create map tiles from a collage of work.The Google Maps’ navigation tools can then be used to zoom in on designs and map markers to provide further information about an individual work.

Some of the first to make use of this technology were game fans, producing maps for World of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto.
