iPad 3D Letters

Two groups arcroos the pond BERG and Detsu London have been developing a software for the iPad thatwill paint 3D letters in by taking pictures. By simply dragging the iPad from left to right you can paint a 3D image in the air so to speak and then photograph it to create an amazing 3D graphic I think that this is an amazing accomplishment as far as iPad technology goes, now you can upload software on your iPad and create 3D graphics without using a CG software. However i think that this is a little impractical because the video that the groups made was about 3 min long and they said they had to take 5,500 pictures and not all of them were even used.

Budget Slow Motion

Im writing my blog on the new HDSLR cameras that can produce 1000FPS slow motion video with just some simple software. All you need to do is shoot your video at 60FPS and then put it into After Effects and stretch the video to 1000 Fps using the twixtor plugin. I think that this a very usefull tool not only because it can produce slow motion video, but it eliminates the need to go out rent expensive slow motion cameras.

Working On Vacation

This week i wrote my blog on an article about working while your still on vacation. The article basically explains how more and more people every day are taking vacations but still checking work emails, doing paperwork and making business calls. Many people said that they didn't feel any more relaxed then when they left for the vacation. When people were asked why they were working on vacation they said that they feared someone else taking there job and that their bosses expect the to put their company phones to use wether their on vacation or not. I feel that a vacation is a getaway from all things stressful, work being one of them. So if your gonna take a vacation leave work out of the picture and i think it will make it that much better.
