An amazing re-edit of the original Half-Life trailer by James Benson to give The Free Man a body you can see a-la Mirror’s Edge.
How much cooler would the game have been if it had been made like this?! Awesome stuff.

TrackbackMystify is the name of that screensaver on Windows. No, not the one with the pipes or the 3D text one – the other one. The one with the bouncing lines. You’ve got it.
Since I created some simplified OpenGL/GLFW 2D basecode yesterday and introduced it to my diploma multimedia class today, I thought I’d set them a task: to replicate this astonishing technological feat of graphical programming, only better! Like the billion dollar man version of it! In an hour!
And while they were doing their version I did mine, which looks like this…
Yup, that’ll be the mystify screensaver then.. =P
Full source code after the break for those who fancy a peak under the hood…
Comments rss TrackbackYou’re bound to have heard the Prodigy‘s Smack My Bitch Up (incredible, and incredibly NSFW, video @ link) – but how was the song made? What goes into making one of the highest regarded dance tracks of the past 10 years?
Well, a bloke called Jim Pavlov knows – and to prove it, in case you didn’t believe him, has recreated the entire song by taking the samples from their original sources, modifying them in similar ways to how Liam Howlett must have to create the original, and slung the meat of the process together into this spiffy video:
Now, it’s not short at 10 minutes – but it’s really interesting to hear the original samples and then see them modified, in front of your very eyes, to the final states that make up each constituent part of the track.
That kind of sampling and effects knowledge just does not happen overnight… Awesome stuff.
