One of the Most Amazing Moments in Soccer History [Video]

For Mother’s Day I took my mother to watch 10 soccer games simultaneously at 10AM at Legend‘s bar. It was the last day of the season for the English Premiership League (arguably the top league in the world). On this last day, all the games take place at the same time to minimize each team’s influence on other games. This year there was quite a bit was at stake for a bunch of teams. The top team wasn’t decided yet and the bottom teams weren’t either. The bottom three get booted from the league. When it comes to Manchester City and Manchester United, I like to make the analogy of the Yankees and the Mets. Man U has won plenty of times and it’s been decades since Man City has won. The video above is a nice montage of the events as they unfolded. Unbelievable stuff.

Maurice Sendak on Death [NPR]

Author Maurice Sendak passed away yesterday and it reminded me of a recent interview he did with Stephen Colbert and also one with NPR. We have the same thoughts on life, death, religion, and most things but it is much more profound and meaningful hearing them come from a lifelong author rather than me, a random twenty-something year old. Please listen to the interview below if you can. It’s short but well worth it.

Wolfenstein 3D [Web Port]

When I was a kid, Wolfenstein 3D came to DOS and it was the game to play. I recall playing that along with the later ID Software games. Building levels for DOOM was more enjoyable than any gaming experience I have now. It’s now the 20th Anniversary (Am I really that old?) and you can play Wolfenstein 3D on the web or your iPhone. Check the video below of the software engineer describing how the game came about. Super interesting.

Dolby Atmos [Cinema]

As an audio engineer I’ve never been a Dolby fan. At home everything plays in DTS. However, Dolby recently stepped things up in two ways. One of them is major.

The whole 5.1 to 6.1 to 7.1 thing has been quite gimmicky and a bit of a hassle for content creators. Do I really need a 7.1 mix for my short film? I have a 7.1 system at home and don’t even use it as such merely because most things aren’t created in 7.1. Dolby has introduced a new dimension to surround sound. This might be a little ahead of it’s time for home theatres but it could bring someone like me back out to watch movies in public again. Watch the video for more details. Also, Dolby has created a sort of master “wrapper” file for it’s movie audio mixes. This is major because in the sea of various movie systems I lose control of how my 5.1 movie mix will sound on maybe a stereo television. This “wrapper” file can contain metadata for all systems to ensure that the creator’s integrity is maintained.

Babygirl [Film]

Babygirl (2012)
Written and Directed by MACDARA VALLELY
Director of Photography JARIN BLASCHKE

Babygirl is the story of Lena, a young teen growing up in the Bronx. Lena is played by first time actor, Yainis Ynoa. Between director Macdara and Yainis, Yainis played a very convincing role. Her cousin, Gleendilys Inoa, is also in the film. You may remember her from Gun Hill Road, Crush, and Yelling To the Sky. Just like Gun Hill Road and Crush it was shot on film and told in a straightforward manner. That’s the best way to tell this story. DP Jarin Blaschke captured the Bronx very honestly and well. I grew up around these locations and this is a common story here. I’d watch this again. I’d recommend this film. It’s playing at the Tribeca Film Festival now.

P.S. Yainis Ynoa looks like Sanaa Lathan.

Google Drive [Cloud]

Google Drive
drive.google.com
Free

So…Google basically renamed their already-awesome Google Docs to Google Drive. The only upgrades I can see so far are you can now install it on your desktop to give your Google Drive a physical space there and now there are a few more software built into Google Drive to handle more file types. As far as I can tell the interface is still the same. Check the link above for more info on upgraded storage pricing.

UPDATE: I’ve been monitoring my Google Docs storage all morning waiting for this announcement and it turns out Google upped the prices for storage. Luckily I upped my storage before Google Drive kicked in. 25gb was only $5 a year. I have 500gb now.

First 4K Film shot on 1Dc [Video]

I want the Canon 1Dc. It rivals the C300. DP, Shane Hurlburt even states that it rivals the RED and the ALEXA. I don’t know about that but check the film above. It’s boring, formulaic, horribly told, and badly acted but you can get a good sense of how well the camera holds up.
