Cinema 4D And After Effects Training, Tutorials, and Plugins for Motion Graphic Designers Congratulations to Michael Rinnan for winning the Five Second Project for March. His entry had a great concept and was outfitted with excellent lighting, atmosphere, camera movements and sound design. We wanted to know a little bit more about Michael’s entry, so we asked him a few questions regarding his workflow and the process for creating his winning piece. Where do you work? What is your title? Tell us about what you do at your company. I am a 3D generalist at NFL films in Mt. How did you come up with your concept for the Bright Lights Five Second Project? For my concept, my goal was to come up with a quick story I could tell in 5 seconds. What was the most challenging thing about your project? The most challenging part of this project was honestly the lighting. Tell us a little about how you achieved the zolly (push-pull zoom) effect. To achieve the zolly, I initially mapped out the motion of the motorcycles with a spline and then dropped a camera onto that motion path.

Download H2testw - Test hacked flash memory - MyMPx H2testw was developed to test USB sticks for various kinds of errors. It can also be used for any other storage media like memory cards, internal and external hard drives and even network volumes. The executable file H2testw.exe needs no installation and can be directly run. It was developed for Windows XP and Vista. It should also work under Windows 2000 but was only tested on XP and Vista. Windows 9x/ME is not supported. The function of H2testw is quite simple: It fills the chosen target directory with test data and then reads it back and verifies it. H2testw does not overwrite or erase any existing data. BUT: _If_ the hardware is defective then H2testw is designed to find that defect and might as a side effect damage existing files. H2testw writes files of up to 1 GByte to the chosen destination and names them 1.h2w, 2.h2w, 3.h2w and so on. After it is done the software leaves its test files on the medium.

Demonoid Faces Prolonged Downtime After DDoS Attack A severe DDoS attack has brought down one of the most famous BitTorrent trackers. Demonoid has been inaccessible to its millions of users for more than a day and is expected to remain offline for quite some time. The tech admin of the troubled BitTorrent tracker told TorrentFreak that the issues at hand are not easy to fix, and suggests that aside from the DDoS there might have been an attack from another angle. Demonoid is one of the biggest torrent sites around, and has been for more than half a decade. Over the years the site has had its fair share of downtime, sometimes disappearing for months on end. Yesterday, a million plus Demonoid users noticed that they could no longer access the site. TorrentFreak got in touch with the tech admin of the site who informed us that they are in serious trouble. “It started as a DDoS but then it caused a series of problems. Aside from the DDoS assault, Demonoid’s server may also have been compromised by another attack.
Semicolon -- The Punctuation Guide The semicolon is sometimes described as stronger than a comma but weaker than a period. In certain uses, this is a reasonably accurate definition. Yet there is more to the semicolon than that. Between independent clauses when a coordinating conjunction is omitted Most commonly, the semicolon is used between two independent clauses (i.e., clauses that could stand alone as separate sentences) when a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) is omitted. The upperclassmen are permitted off-campus lunch; the underclassmen must remain on campus. The example above could be recast with the conjunction but, in which case a comma, rather than a semicolon, would be required. The upperclassmen are permitted off-campus lunch, but the underclassmen must remain on campus. Technically, the semicolon could be replaced with a period, since each independent clause is a complete sentence. Note: When the second clause expands on or explains the first, the colon is the better mark.
The Pirate Bay Moves Servers to the U.S., Becomes Freedom Bay After trying its luck to North Korea, the world's largest BitTorrent tracker, The Pirate Bay, has announced it has moved its servers to the U.S. "We have worked closely with the awesome american government to establish a strong military graded server park that will endure any nuclear attacks that Kim Jong Un and his evil allies will send at US," writes The Pirate Bay in a blog post. This news, which comes on a very significant date, also means some changes in the way The Pirate Bay operates. The site says it will remove all torrents from certain countries, and seed American torrents with "extra power." Check out the announcement here, and let us know what you think in the comments.
Game of Thrones (2011– ) - Episodes Are There Any Demonoid Alternatives? Demonoid is gone, at least for now. The servers in the Ukraine were pulled offline and an investigation into the site’s alleged owners is ongoing in Mexico. At the time of writing the Demonoid domain once again redirects to random ads… For former Demonoid members there’s no other option than to find a replacement. However, do these even exist? The easy option would be to list to the top 10 torrent sites of 2012, but those aren’t really a match for Demonoid. While the music and movie industries would quickly label Demonoid was a piracy haven, it was also place where creators were happy to share their work. Xihilisk for example, who shared one of his music albums exclusively on Demonoid. “I’ve been with Demonoid for a few years, and it’s always been the first place I go to look for something. A lot of this “obscure” content may now be gone for good. I really wanted to close this post with a few good alternatives to Demonoid, but I’m afraid that’s easier said than done.
The Pirate Bay ‘Moves’ to North Korea (Updated) The Pirate Bay says it has been offered virtual asylum in North Korea. The move comes after the Norwegian Pirate Party was forced to stop routing traffic for the infamous BitTorrent site by a local copyright group. "We can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the Republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network," the Pirate Bay says. Last week the Swedish Pirate Party was forced to shut down its routing services to The Pirate Bay. The Party and its leaders took this difficult decision after they were threatened with a lawsuit by a local anti-piracy group. Luckily for The Pirate Bay, the pirate parties of Norway and Catalunya were willing to take over the role. This resulted in some downtime earlier today after which The Pirate Bay returned online from a rather unexpected location. A Pirate Bay insider informs TorrentFreak that they had been working for a while to get connectivity in North Korea. “This is truly an ironic situation.
Game of Thrones Pirates Break BitTorrent Swarm Record With a million downloads on BitTorrent in less than a day, the season premiere of Game of Thrones is breaking records on multiple fronts. Never before has there been a torrent with so many people sharing a file at the same time, more than 160,000 simultaneous peers. Data gathered by TorrentFreak further shows that Australia has the highest piracy rate of the popular download destinations, while London tops the list of pirate cities. Hundreds and thousands of downloaders went out to grab a copy of the show, breaking the record for the largest BitTorrent swarm ever in the process. A few hours after the first torrent of the show was uploaded the OpenBitTorrent tracker reported that 163,088 people where sharing one single torrent. 110,303 were sharing a complete copy of that particular torrent while 52,786 were still downloading. These are mind boggling numbers that we’ve never seen before. So who are these people, and why are they pirating Game of Thrones? It’s a win-win apparently.
