Weirdest video of the week

Slow motion mode on your camera + model + interesting props = the video you're about to see.
This may be the strangest, yet most interesting art piece I've seen in a while. I'm not sure if it is the gregorian chanting or the ability to see things we might see in a much slower playback - but I find it hard to turn away...

killing zombies...who could ask for anything more?

based off information on the website, valve is going to revisit some older concepts and may possibly continue to tie the games all in together

i'm excited to see what else they can come up with and add to this already monumental series of games

Sony Builds Its Own RED Camera

Mark Wilson from Gizmodo.com — Sony Builds Its Own RED Camera I can't imagine a more exciting time to be an independent filmmaker. This week, even Sony—yes, Sony—showed off a prototype "entry level 35mm" camcorder. In other words, their $100,000+ CineAltas could price compete with RED...or even lower?

Sony has not said much about the prototype—like specific resolution, codec support, dynamic range, etc—but they do promise that the camera will be available before this time next year, and they did promise it would be for "everybody." Keep in mind, however, that this announcement was made at the National Associations of Broadcasters Show (NAB). So "everybody" probably refers to local TV stations more than your starving artist friend/self.

Here's the current landscape: For under a grand, you can shoot beautiful, 24fps 1080p on a Canon t2i. For a bit over $5k, you can upgrade to something like Panasonic's interesting upcoming 4/3ds camcorder (or the cams from Sony/Canon/JVC/etc. Spend somewhere between $20k-40k, score a RED. Spend $60k+, score an ARRI Alexa. This is all before you reach six digits.

Hopefully Sony finds its way into to the mid to lower end of this market and professional, cinematic video continues to get cheaper. And Hollywood's grip on our eyeballs slips as rental houses accept pocket change, or you can trade your car for a studio-quality camera. [Camera Department TV via Engadget]

big dog robot

Is that the imperial march that this robot is doing?
Here's the scary part - Big Dog 1 is controlled by the same processor as the Commodore Vic 20. Big Dog 2 will be equipped with the processor used in the Commodore 64.
