It’s Not the Computer Graphics
No surprise here. The New York Times reviews Disney’s Chicken Little and says: “Chicken Little” is the first Disney-produced computer-animated film, and its publicity material announces that the 3-D version being released in some theaters “has the distinction of ushering in a revolutionary new digital 3-D motion-picture viewing experience.” Cluck, cluck!

50 People See…
50 people see a candle Originally uploaded by brevity. More fun from Flickr. Neil Kandalgaonkar wrote a program that takes 50 photos that are all marked with a keyword (in this case, “candle”), and combines them. The results are wonderfully abstract and almost impressionistic.

Cappuccino Bear
Cappuccino Originally uploaded by StephenHeckman. I finally gave in and signed up for a pro account at Flickr, because I like their services and clean layout. Plus, it’s fun and easy to browse other people’s photos from around the world, using common keywords. Here’s a shot from the Espresso group.

More on Encoding Video for iPod
iLounge looks at the options for encoding video for the new video iPod: “iPod-Ready Videos? Not So Fast, and Not So Clear.” QuickTime 7.0.3 adds an export option to QuickTime (and therefore, to applications such as iMovie) to encode video for iPod, but you don’t get to customize its settings. Jeremy Horowitz performed a bunch ...

Mike at HD For Indies takes a good look at the question: should I buy an iMac G5 for now as a lower-cost bridge before the new Intel-based Power Macs appear, or go with an existing Pwer Mac? He’s focusing on editing HD with Final Cut Pro, of course, but his points are still mostly ...
