Ingenuity Engine Servers Up Effect For Harold & Kumar

Ingenuity Engine helped create a series of self-aware 3D gags and over-the-top visuals for A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. The company developed 125 visual effects shots—everything from a flaming Christmas tree exploding out of a window to a CG robot drumline.

Because camera metadata was not recorded on set, VFX supervisors David Lebensfeld and Grant Miller developed a tool to preview the stereo depth of visual effects shots using proxy geometry in The Foundry’s Nuke compositor. Using NVIDIA’s 3D Vision for stereo review on their existing Quadro-equipped workstations, artists could accurately match the depth in the live-action plates in an interactive preview.

The stereo camera and geometry were then transferred from Nuke to Autodesk 3ds Max animation software for final rendering.

Uncontacted Amazon Tribe First Ever Aerial Video Footage

Extraordinary film footage narrated by movie star Gillian Anderson has launched Survival International’s new campaign to protect some of the world’s last uncontacted tribes.

Over 100 tribes around the world choose to reject contact with outsiders. They are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet.

The footage was filmed by the BBC in collaboration with the Brazilian government, for the new BBC 1 ‘Human Planet’ series (broadcast 3 Feb). The Brazilian government has authorized Survival to use the footage as part of its campaign.

Amazing London Fireworks 2012 New Years Eve [HD Video]

When it comes to celebrating New Years Eve in Europe, London is a prime location for those wishing to celebrate in style, and what better part of London to see in the New Year than on one of our party boats, next to Big Ben, with the finest view of all the tremendous firework action.

Treat yourself to a truly special and unique New Years Eve experience on board the MV Pride of London and see in 2012 in fabulous and festive nautical style!

Party people, pleasure enthusiasts and New Years Eve revellers unite on the MV Pride of London party cruise, as it sets sail down the River Thames for a fun, spectacular and mind-blowing voyage.

Spectacular fireworks displays lit up cities around the world last night as people celebrated the start of 2012.

In London fireworks were shot out of Big Ben itself tor the first time as the bell chimed at midnight to usher in the New Year. An estimated 250,000 people watched the 11minute display from Embankment along the Thames.

Mayor Boris Johnson said it was a fitting way to mark the start of an extraordinary year for the city which will host the Olympic Games.

The Mayor of London's office said the display was the result of 12 months of planning. A crew of 306 has been working on the site since Boxing Day, with 1,803 staff - including stewards - on duty on the night itself.

There were 30 tonnes of equipment on the three fireworks barges on the river ready for the display, which was triggered by GPS to the chimes of Big Ben.

The start of the London fireworks was accompanied by a recording of the moment the capital learned it would host next summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Video Cover By Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Zooey Deschanel

What are you doing on New Year's Eve? Whatever it is, it's probably not as cool as hanging out with offscreen BFFs Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The "(500) Days of Summer" stars teamed up and recorded a new duet for Zooey's website, HelloGiggles, and it's basically the most adorable thing we've seen all week.

The duo covered Nancy Wilson's classic "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" in a low-production video posted to YouTube. Ever since JGL joined ZD in She & Him's "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" music video, we've been obsessing about their mutual exploits off screen as well as on. We've been crossing our fingers for them to team up again onthe big screen, but the closest we've gotten is their hilarious Cinemash of "Sid and Nancy."

As Zooey explains in her short blog post accompanying the video, she and Joe have been friends since they first met in 2000 while filming the movie "Manic." They went on to star in the 2009 rom-com "(500) Days of Summer," and have just generally been endearing to us all ever since.



"We bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone, and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since," Zooey wrote. "When we did '500 Days of Summer' eight years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and makeup trailer. We had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him, because he’s simply the best."

Can we consider that your New Year's resolution, Zooey? Because we certainly are willing to sign on to watching everything you two collaborate on in the future.
