21 minutes through FetishCon 2011
…and to the Hub. On a long stroll through downtown Tampa, I happened upon Fetish Con again (like I had managed a year before). I didn’t really feel up to a prolonged stay this time around, as I was meeting a friend at the Hub. Next year maybe I’ll be in the mood to shoot more. There’s little escape from the energy that this event creates in that town. The last few moments of our evening were of the delightful fellow pictured propositioning me and Andy to “Go dancing, if we knew what he mean’d.” We would then motion to the several 50 dollar bills he spread on the table. Andy repeated and repeated: “The friendly’s wearing off.”
He never really understood that meant “no.”

How Much Are You Packin?
I wanna have a pint with agency guys that championed this one. “Just sayin’”
Your Cop Show idea is crap.
Yeah, yeah you’ve got the perfect network pitch for a cop show ever concocted. You used the they fight crime generator endlessly to generate the perfect ethnically and world-view-opposed team up ever seen. You’re thinking your idea makes The Wire seem like Elmo’s World. Whatever dude. It’s all shit compared to this:
Guerilla Group 8 : ???????????
This Japanese cop show was built around Mitsubishi’s current car line up, so you know it’s good. Basically it looks like the guys at Mitsu paid the film crew to blow up a bunch of Toyotas, and drive their showroom floor around looking 1980′s good (in the early 90′s mind you).
It had all the right goods to promote it. You could never hope to reach the level of brand-synergy that this show had… show why bother trying? Just give it up and go back to your Bromantic Comedy because that genre still doesn’t have it’s perfect creation just yet.
Why does Nortega care? No reason beyond the fact that I own a set of the super cool and rare Volk Group C rims pictured below on the gullwing-doored Mistubishi Starion… and would like to have the toy gun and badge set even further down.
I’ll buy your steadicam for 25 bucks

John Hack @ Adobe writes: Adobe researchers Hailin Jin and Aseem Agarwala*, collaborating with U.Wisconsin prof. Michael Gleicher & Feng Liu, have unveiled their work on “Content-Preserving Warps for 3D Video Stabilization.” In other words, their tech can give your (and my) crappy hand-held footage the look of a Steadicam shot.
Check out the demonstration video, shot at & around Adobe’s Seattle office. It compares the new technique to what’s available in iMovie ’09 and other commercial tools.

A Fucking Reality Show!?!
I’ve joked for years that the daily operations of our animation studio would make a halfway decent reality series… but I don’t know if we’d ever really want to be in front of the public eye at all. If you got to know the real cast of characters that are behind making an animated production… um, well we ARE talking about guys and gals that draw the same thing over and over hundreds of times, just to make a few seconds of motion on screen. They are not the most social, well-adjusted bunch. They are not as pretty as the cast of The Hills. They have very, very dark moments… I digress.
Anyway, some group out there is going forward with that very idea. At 24 frames per second it takes 7200 frames to make a five minute short, hence the clever title. Here is a link to a Cartoon Brew’s coverage of the yet to enter production reality series. And a link to the actual show’s site. And a link to the fact that it might be somehow connected to Titmouse? If anyone enters, let me know. I’m interested to see how this progresses. Me… I think I’m out of the running on this one kids.
