How is the strangest the most "popular"

I thought this was kinda funny... you probably know Youtube has been reshaping itself...they added tons of feature films and shows from studios and the like... I was watching the original HE-man yesterday it was pretty great... but yeah so right now if you go to youtube.com/movies and click "Most Popular" look what is the first one there?! haha... So show your friends what the "most popular" feature film on youtube is and they'll be all "oh that retarded thing you showed me? OH WHAT its popular OH NOW I LOVE IT"

Crowdsourcing = SPIRIT BOMB

In the last few days I've been making some baZAAR connection between abstraction layer theory and filmmaking and the seven major circuits of the brain... but I'll probably save that for my book whenever I get around to that... BUT I was rewatching old DBZ movies when something hit me... ya know in a lot of those films when everything else fails Goku harnesses energy from every living thing on the planet and uses that to make a "Spirit bomb" to destroy the gigantic unstoppable enemy... and he can only do that because his intentions are true and just... So I was reading about the Pirate Bay trial and how supporters of the Pirate Bay are attacking its opposition... so yeh CROWDSOURCING=SPIRIT BOMB It will allow an individual or group to defeat enemies or to break through barriers once thought impossible...creative work, computing power, promotion, DOS attacks ^ ^ etc....... but only through working together for a just cause... So yeh think about that for a biT...its pret

You are simply a machine...nothing more.

Ya know being a "computer animator" er whatever its easy to lose sight of whats really important when making films with computers... you begin to put too much emphasis on the technology...on the system specs etc... Like yeh having a PC with 64gb of ram will make a better film than one wth 8gb?! So yeh I've been guilty of this lately.... tweaking with the system WAY more than I should be... I made WATS with a dual core 2.2ghz PC with 2gb of ram and an old AGP video card...I need to remember this... the tech doesn't matter... the ideas do... So I pledge to move forward with 12gb of ram or 4gb whatever it doesn't matter as long as it doesnt get in my way... HERE I GO! THIS HAND OF MIND SHINES WITH AN AWESOME POWER AND ITS TELLING ME TO DEFEAT YOU!!!!...oh wait thats just carpal tunnel....bye.

And may the truth cause they END

So a few days ago a new Hollywood movie "X-men origins" was leaked onto the torrent scene... news here I myself am a very active like torrentY person btw ^ ^ but I didn't download that cause I knew it would be CRAP... But anyway I have a point... Over the past years I studied modern film marketing a bit... and I remember one phrase in particular by the man who designed the marketing paradigm that Hollywood still uses... the phrase it is based on is something like this "With enough money you can lie to all the people all the time" So you may have figured out through time that MOST ALL Hollywood films are hollow derivative consumer whorING garbage these days... NOW why do people keep spending they money to see them? BECAUSE they believe the HYPE... the FAKE QUOTES, the PAID OFF reviews, the hyper hyperbolized trailers and commercials... people buy into it time and time again....like they forget they were lied to before BUT thats another ranT.... So the Hollywood s

Tutorial RequesTS

I will be creating some new tutorials just because when your modeling or rigging all day making tutorials seems fun...so... I'm going to be doing them on Cinema 4d, Zbrush, Photoshop, and After Effects... cause thats what I use all day... I guess I could also do ones on Reason and Ableton Live hmmmm.... I've already done some introductory videos for C4d but I might redo those now that Youtube has HD... I'm already planning an intro to Zbrush... So let me know what you want me to cover in these new tutorials and I will do meh best to get them in.
