Operator 11: Your social television network

Laura — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:50:00 GMT

Imagine (if you will) a visionary, a leader, a true artist with his sights on the future. Well, this is Josh Harris. Known as the Warhol of webcasting, his latest creation allows anyone on the net to be a director of their own internet show. I was fortunate enough to work with Josh in my fledgling years of internet broadcasting back at Pseudo in the N.Y.C. He's now taken that idea to a whole new level and is inviting all of us to participate. Check out this clip and then stay tuned for my original operator 11 show. Post below if you'd like to be a cast member!

Change a bulb, change everything.

Al Gores Academy Award Winning documentary about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth" has exponentially heightened America's awareness about the state of our environment. The film is both frightening and motivational. I met with the producer of "An Inconvenient Truth", Lawrence Bender about his latest effort to help save the planet : 18seconds.org. On his site and in this interview you'll learn about some tiny changes we can all make in our daily lives that can drastically help preserve our planet. Watch this interview, visit 18seconds.org and spread the word.

This is Sparta! And THIS....is 300 (the movie) producer, Mark Canton.

Mark Canton most recently produced the mega-hit 300, based on the Frank Miller graphic novel and directed by Zack Snyder for Warner Bros Pictures which opened to record-setting box office numbers, having grossed almost $400 million worldwide in just five weeks of release and is the highest-grossing March release in the history of the motion picture business.

Mark, Chairman and CEO of Atmosphere Entertainment MM, LLC, has been a preeminent force in the entertainment industry, helping to bring more than 300 pictures to the screen in his capacity as a senior studio executive and producer. Through Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Canton controls a large number of high profile film and television projects that are in various stages of development, pre-production, production and post- production.

I had the opportunity to sit down with this genius man and pick his brain a little about producing 300, getting to where he is now and learn about what inspires him as a Producer.

Gentle Giant Studios: Part One - The Greatest Studio on Earth

Tina — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 17:45:00 GMT

Okay, so at GDC I met an artist named Scott. Scott works at Gentle Giant Studios which is one of the leading animation companies in the world. They have worked on Star Wars movies, Men in Black, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, King Kong, and hundreds of other movies and video games. They much more then just an animation studio. They do scanning, sculpting, digital modeling, marquettes, rapid prototyping, molding, casting and more. I had to split this into two pieces because there is just so much to look at.

Okay, in part two we dive into more of the 3D modeling and take a look at the life size Matrix figures (awesome for any Matrix fan.) We get a nice glimpse of an animated Master Chief, and we run into Yoshi for any of you older TechTV fans. :) Then we do a 3D scan

of Scott.
