A very interesting and innovative storytelling game for two players.
How it works is that one player moves the "game" characters around a stage, selecting any object to interact with as he pleases. The other player is the "gamemaster", who determines how the selected object / character will interact with the "player". Each side takes 30 seconds per turn... which leads to very interesting results.
Very useful for making flipbooks, interactive real-time storytelling. This storytelling game helps to restore the ancient art of making up engaging stories in real-time, as you go along.

Have fun exploring the stories! :)

There is no doubt mobile web has taken the world by storm. Even more people today are equipped with smartphones running on iOS or Android, both of which provide exceptional web browsing platforms. And this number is only expected to increase as the average population wages and growth rate expands.
However the process of designing and coding a mobile template can be very tedious. I’m hoping to provide a creative outlet in this gallery of 29 intuitive mobile designs. These are websites rendered in mobile browsers which have specific templates in place for these devices. Check out my examples below if you’re in need of creative ideas for your own design.
Series of adverts with brilliant vibrant colours. Excellent composition to create the paint-like graphic which grabs the attention in the most obvious ways. Message is clear & straight to the point!
Check out the video advert of tthis machine at the bottom. How the HD camera are able to capture the boucing paints! Absolutely fantastic!
VIB is a life sciences research institute, based in Flanders, Belgium. They perform basic research with a strong focus on translating scientific results into pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. For their fifteenth anniversary, we did the entire event branding, for which we used only chalk and a huge blackboard. For this event we also designed a box with nine books in it. For the books only we made more then 200 large chalk drawings.
Branding for a life science research institute! Great layout, typography and especially the mediums used, emulating blackboard and using chalk to manually draw graphics of atoms & science related objects! Even guerilla campaigns around the compound of the venue of the conference talk! There are also wall displays & installations!
Well,
that was quick. Right after yesterday's surprising announcement,
Sony flew its yet-to-be-released NEX-VG10 camcorder into London just in time for
today's showcase event. Naturally, we had to get our hands on this shiny baby,
and boy we were impressed. In case you missed the news, this snazzy device is
the world's first consumer HandyCam with interchangeable lens, meaning you can
share E-mount lenses with your young NEX DSLRs, or take advantage of
the abundant A-mount lenses with the help of an adapter (which will cost you
extra, mind you). Likewise, there are also hot and cold shoe mounts on the mic
shaft to cater your current camera accessories. Read on for our thoughts on the
rest of the camcorder -- we've put together a little sample clip for you at the
end as well.
There
isn't much to complain about with this $2,000 (and, sadly, possibly £2,000 for
the Brits) piece of kit in terms of appearance and ergonomics. We like being
able to hold it by either the seemingly solid body (using the strap) or the mic
shaft, and both ways provided comfortable grip without much fatigue due to the
light weight (even with the bundled lens). We were also able to quickly master
the jog-dial control next to the 3-inch screen, but for this price, we expected
a touchscreen interface as well to make life easier. As for the bundled F3.5-6.3
18-200mm lens, we found that zooming required a bit more effort than we liked,
so thankfully there's auto focus mode -- just like any ordinary camcorder -- to
save us from further wrist work with the focus ring. We must also point out that
unlike the Olympus PEN,
this Sony camcorder didn't pick up any mechanical noise from its lens auto
focussing; otherwise, this kit totally wouldn't deserve such price tag.
Of
course, what we really care about is the picture and sound quality. All is
revealed in our sample reel below (remember to enable HD playback mode), but in
brief: stunningly accurate colors, sharp 1080/60i picture, and impressive audio
sensitivity (notice how the mic was able to pick up conversations from afar; you
can also enable just the front mics to minimise background noise). You may
notice some shakiness while we were adjusting the lens -- we'll blame it on our
lack of practice from the little hands-on time we had. Regardless, the NEX-VG10
certainly lived up to our expectation, and we look forward to hear what the
filming hobbyists think of this prosumer-level camcorder when it comes out in
September.
Update: commenter
aim120 dropped us a link to Sony's own sample clip. Enjoy!
