this article is titled, "A Competition for Movies that are 6 Seconds Long." this article is about short films that are 6 seconds long. earlier this month filmmakers with a talent for creating mini masterpieces were given the opportunity to enter their work in Tribeca Film Festivals #6SECFILMS competition. you get a chance to win 600$ in four categories. genre, auteur, animation, and series. this is all done by the new technology called Vine. along with this article there are some tips. 1- think it out. 2- set the mood. 3- leave them wanting more. 4- don't let your imagination stop at 6 seconds. 5- or, make your own rules.
i really enjoyed reading this article. i have the app Vine and i love it! i think its very entertaining and so fun. i've made a few vines to far. i think i might do this competition actually.

this article is titled, "Why is it so difficult to make Cute Characters?" the title is self explanatory. creating cute characters is actually a difficult task and not as easy as it seems. some of the cutest characters ever drawn are Tweety, Pokeman and Pooh. the typical cute character consist of big eyes, big head and fluffiness. but there are some expectations like E.T, Yoda, Wall-e. cute things draw people in. through out the years the idles of cuteness continue to change and evolve.
i enjoyed this article. i do like cute characters and i think they make the movie so much more entertaining. my favorite cute character has to be the raccoon from Pocahontas, Meeko. he is just so adorable and its one of my favorite movies of all time.

this article is titled, "How Pixar Used Moore's Law Predict the Fututre". its about using the Moore's Law to help them create a more interesting idea. this was the secerit to success. the enabling idea was computation. but that alone would get them nowhere. they used the law to anticipate the future and make good business decisions through the long years we waiting for computer animations to become reality.
i found this article very, boring. i was not understanding what was being explained. they didn't even explain what was Moors's Law to those who do not know. they could have explained this way more better.

this article is titled, "These Adorable Robots are Making a Documentary About Humans. Really." and the title is self explanatory. the BlabDroids are attempting to make what could be the first documentary ever filmed and directed by robots. BlabDroids are tiny, adorable, cinematographers who will be filming interviews. they are very personal questions too. like "whats the worst thing you've done to someone?" or "who do you lost the most in the world?" each robot carries a camera and a button to press after you're done answering said question.
i really liked this article. i think its such a great idea and i would love seeing the full thing when it comes out! its cool how technology advanced so we can achieve ideas like this. i also liked how the article went straight to the subject and it cut to the chase.

http://io9.com/did-disney-steal-this-alice-in-wonderland-image-472820873
this article is titled, "Did Disney steal this Alice in Wonderland image?" obviously this article is about if Disney stole a drawing done but a girl named Katie Woodger. the artist expresses her disproval and disappointment towards disney for clearly stealing her artwork and not crediting her or asking to use it in anyway. her picture is being sold on bags and other disney stuff. looking for contact, she eventually got what she wanted and disney removed the image from copy righted things for example, bags. all though some T-Shirts are still being copied with her image. what Disney committed was a direct copy right violation.
i found this article very interesting. it also made me lose respect for Disney. i love this drawing and did see it on tumblr but never thought it was stolen. i hope she at least gets credit or notice from Disney.

this article is titled, "Interview: Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak on their kick starter project, Code Monkey."its a new comic based on Coultons songs. "Code Monkey" will be about a programmer who's drawn from his cubicle farm of one of a supervilians business into a space mission. he and his boss head off in an adventure against a robot queen and their own general ineptitude. this may not sound like the song because they are using characters from other songs of his as well. while interviewing them they seem very excited and give a lot of details about the new series.
i liked this article. i'm actually excited to see this series. its sounds really cool and interesting! considering i had to listen to his songs over and over again in animation class working on a project. overall, it sounds really cool!

this article is titled, "Japanese Smell O-Vision TV Releases Scents with per-pixel Accuracy". the title is basically self explanatory. thanks to a japanese team of researchers we might soon be able to smell pictures. for example like a kentucky fried chicken ad or a garden full of flowers. even though this seems like a new thing, it has appearance nearly 50 years ago as well. theres are also cases documented of such thing over 100 years ago. now, not only can we project smells from the television but it can pinpoint were exactly the smell is located on the TV screen.
i really liked this article. i think its awesome how technology has advanced for us to achieve this finally. i would love to have one of these TVs!
