Cellphone Motion Picture Technology: Part 3

As cellphones increase their power, it is only a matter of time before professional applications leak down onto these devices. Apple's iPhone is a prime target for such devices, as Apple computers are used by many professionals in the arts. There have been demo applications of DigiDesign's famous Pro Tools that have been created for usage of the iPhone, which would be a great tool for music producers who are trying to mike a setup in a studio.



Furthermore, there have been hidden code in Apple's latest iPhone 3.0 Beta release that are evident that a video editing application is being created for the iPhone platform. Most likely this will be a simple application like a Mobile iMove, though the future will most likely have a Final Cut Mobile running on an iPhone. A quick and easy tool like that would be a director and editors best friend, as it would allow them to quickly browse through their footage and cut out any of the bad takes before returning to their main workstation.

LCD, Plasma and now OLED

OLED (Organic light-emitting diode), is a display technology using man-made, carbon-based molecules that emit light when charged with electricity. What seperates the OLED from the LCD or Plasma, are the components that produce the picture on the screen. The prototypes of an OLED are as thin as a credit card because the pixels are able to produce their own light with nothing behind the screen. With LCD's you need either a fluorescent or LED lamp to illuminate the pixels, and Plasma's need compartments of electrically charged gas. OLED's are all around better than the existing LCD's and Plasma's but will come at a higher cost. The release date is set for 2012.

500 Movies on One Disc!

General Electric believes that in the near future we will be able to store 500 of your very own favorite movies onto one single disc. Regular CD's, DVD's, and Blu-ray discs only use one dimension, but GE's holographic data storage adds two more dimensions to the information. This allows us the ability to store more information onto one disc. To read more about this new technology click on the link below.

Movie Renting in the Future...

We have already seen many of the smaller video stores close up and now we are seeing the bigger ones doing the same. Today many people are finding better ways to rent movies like Netflicks, RedBox, and movies on demand. Eventually Redbox will not exist because in the future everyone will be able to easily download movies right to their televisions either by On Demand or Netflix. This means DVD players will not be needed in the future. We are seeing this already starting now, but in the future everyone will browsing the list of movies on demand and you wont see any video stores around. It will be like video stores never existed.

Mini Laptop

Struggling to carry around your big bulky laptop? Then why don't you try out the new and improved super mini laptop, brought to you by a Korean company UMID. As you can see from the pictures, it's as small as a cell phone and weighs in a little over a half a pound. It comes equiped with 1.33GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and up to 32GB of storage. There's no doubt in my mind that at some point in the future we will be done with laptops and be completley converted to the mini laptop.

Fireworks!

Fireworks have been around for centuries and have only gotten cooler. This is an art limited to a few people only because this business you need to be an expert, and know the experts. If you started up your own fireworks company, you'd most likely fail, or blow yourself up--good luck. Two families that stake claim as being the "first" in fire works are the Zambelli family and the Grucci family, both have a crazy list of credentials.

From the original Chinese recipe where gun power was shot into the air and then exploded to the secretly guarded family recipe’s that are responsible for miraculous chandelier effects and other numerous shapes that we’re surprised by year after year. In America, its become a summertime tradition and used anytime to celebrate.

Today we find fireworks at amusement parks at closing time, sporting events, festivals, concerts, and holidays—notably New Years and July4th. It isn’t uncommon to have a pyrotechnic display set to a sound track, to add an audio dimension to the luminous visual display. The complexities continue to grow 7 the competition is fierce by being so limited. However that’s only to benefit us who just watch the mid-night madness of fireworks.

Hot New Toys

What is going on with toys these days? It seems they are under the mystical power of an evil wizard with all of the lights and sounds and the things that they project. What happened to a wooden/ plastic/ or metal frame with two axels and four wheels that make a car, thats just not good enough now. Just to get a toy to work--well lets getting it out of the box where you will already have to own a plasma torch to rip it from the grips of those crazy twisty ties. The packaging for these things is absurd, no wonder 99% of material we purchase is thrown away in 6months.

To operate the contraption you'll need some sort of activation code which you can purchase online for an additional fee, otherwise, its a fancy lookin block with wheels (or another feature) except more expencive and more like to break...

Who knows what crazy robot or virual reality device is going to find its way into the corners of living toy stockpile or in the catacombs of basebent toyboxes left unused to collect dust...
