I think not. Some days ago the founder of MegaUpload was arrested and the website shut down. The people should start seeing now in what world we are actually living. People should start using more free software, start using Tor, if you are a programmer, be involved in free software, don't use eBooks or at least buy them directly from the author and not the publisher, if you are a hardware maker, make a hardware that's not locked and you can actually use for what you really want. Jacob Appelbaum describes it the best:
Several days before the end of 2011 , I wanted to write about what for me was the essence of this year. Changes. You can see it everywhere. The status quo of the political regimes around the world has been challenged. It is happening not only in Iraq, not only in Lybia, not only in Greece , Moscow or Wall Street. It is everywhere. The Mayan calendar says 2012 is the end of one era and new one will come. I can already see it happening, and I really think it's for good. What the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement started can not be stopped easily. I can see the fear in the governments creating things like "The Patriot Act" and "SOPA". Democratic governments trying to become totalitarian.This has never worked in the history before and I doubt it will work this time. The people will make the change. Have a great 2012!
The thing with the ghosted limbs is particularly good as it is very good characteristics of the traditional series! I wonder if it's actually a rig feature or a 2d effect made after that ? If anybody knows please comment.
People from Blue Sky, Dreamworks and Pixar put together a site where the participants can make a short movie once every month on a particular theme chosen in that same month. The way it works is - on a certain date the theme is put and everybody who wants to make a movie have 2 weeks to finish it. Usually 1 week for filming and 1 week for editing - it's up to the director of the film of course. So there has already been 2 themes and 2 sets of films which are simply amazing! Check out all of them on the website :
