Interesting piece from Wozniak. The end paragraph is something I’ve thought for quite some time really.

Just got a rather cheap fish Eye lens for my camera. Primary reason for getting this is to negate the use of a light probe for getting artificial lighting and reflections for compositing. I’m not sure if it will work perfectly as I get the feeling the range of vision may be around the 160 mark and not the 180. May look a little odd if objects move around the periferal of frame. Anyway it’ll no doubt serve me in creating some interesting shots along the way…. The South Park episode with the dogs through fisheye lenses springs to mind…. super cute… argh!

Just installing Linux Mint on a laptop at the moment after being told it was the way to go. Going for a clean install of linux this time instead of dual booting. Will keep you posted on what it’s like.

This is some beautifull way of presenting I must say. Very simple and as a student or teacher you can get 500Mbs of space for free. I’ll give it a go and report back.
Take a look at it here: http://www.prezi.com

Pretty cool 3d visualisations of classic artworks. If you find it interesting you should have a quick listen to the video interview with Quayola about half way down this page: http://www.nexusproductions.com/case/strata4/index.php Interesting to see the tools he has created. Also at the end of the interview it tells you the programmes he uses as a basis for 3d programming and compositing. They are his tools towards an end result which is what we should consider all programmes… like a paintbrush.
