Captain Mealticket A Count Named Slick-Brass and a boarding party from The Aeronautical Salvage Scout Titilus will be in Waltham, MA this weekend. This is a family-friendly event! So, heads up if you’re local.  We wish we could join them, but our pilot season schedule doesn’t permit.

We noticed a day or two ago that YouTube now has options for Stereoscopic video. So, instead of the side-by-side video on our 3D tests, you’ll see them as a single video. You can change how the video appears for your 3D device by selecting an option from the new 3D drop down menu. Of course for our 2D content, nothing will change.

The next stereoscopic test is coming soon, we promise.

Cut us a break, it’s pilot season.

Practice makes perfect

When you’re an illustrator, an animator, or any other kind of artist, the best thing you can do is draw everything all the time. No, really, draw everything you can, as much as you can.

John K. the animation mastermind best known for Ren & Stimpy draws amazing caricatures from tabloids.

You can check them out at his blog.

This particular set inspired me:

He also offers fantastic tutorials and advice for the budding animator.

First My3D Test

April 4, 2011

A quick proof of concept in designing content for the Hasbro My3D. It’s $35 and will (with the right content) turn your iPhone/iPod Touch into a 3D screen. We first heard about it over at Giz, and got ours yesterday.

We stopped by the captain’s study the other night…

Very quickly done, with Ashley Rogers:

Outage Update

January 14, 2011

Having just discovered a new cache of corrupted data, we’re not anticipating a full return until sometime next week. However, you’ll start to see some stuff come back up tomorrow. And new posts will start tomorrow as well.

Thanks for putting up with this garbage.
