Björk Biophilia instruments - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This blew me away completely. Bjork has always been on the cutting edge of tech with her instruments. This shows off a few of them. After you watch, check out some more videos on the reactable (the blue table with the shapes on it).... it's pretty nuts.

    This triggered various images: instrument statues that are also kinetic...sound made visible...most intriguing!

DANCE VS. POWERPOINT - 1 views

  •  
    This is more about using dance instead of technology to teach a concept. Less about integration but I thought it was pretty awesome.

    Cool - I way overused PowerPoint- I had to send a link and post it on Facebook for my friends and colleagues to see it.

    What leaped to mind was choreographed speech...I enjoyed the dancing, but found it also distracting...still an interesting concept.

    The end is kind of hilarious. When he proposes that with all the cuts in ed funding for the arts that you will be able to get dancers super cheap thereby making them a cost effective replacement. :). Some people have loved the dancing and others not so much. I am a dancer and I connected immediately. I thought it was hilarious but it was presented as a way to teach concepts to children and I think the context of live movement is so incredibly effective. I certainly understand a super fluid now. I can only imagine if I had actually danced the concept.

How The LEGO Movie Was Built - 1 views

  • The truly surprising part about the LEGO Movie, which is far more entertaining than it has any right to be, is how it looks
  • the whole movie looks like it's actually made of stop-motion LEGO bricks.
  • The whole movie really is stop motion. Sort of. Okay, Internet, slow down. Technically speaking, a huge majority of the film was made on a computer by the animation team at Animal Logic. But. But. That CG animation was created according to the rules of classic stop motion. McKay explains that in order to achieve motion blur or certain effects, they would crib cheats and camera tricks from the stop-motion playbook. "We set ourselves up with a bunch of rules and limitations with how we animated the thing, because in CG you could do anything. You have 15,000 explosions and their arms can bend and stretch but we said, 'No, we're only going to move these figures in the seven points of articulation that a minifig can move in.'"

    Lego created their film using CG animation based on stop-motion. Technology meeting childhood toys meeting film.

    This was really interesting to me not only because Lego has suddenly taken over my son, body and soul, but also because I am fascinated with the practice of using new, cutting edge technology to make new stuff look old. Amazing! Thanks for posting, really fun to know how it's done!
