Video - Toy Story 3 Sound Design
Last week we took a very cool look at sound design for one of the biggest box office hits of the year, Inception. This week we take a look at an animated hit from our good friends at Pixar and Disney.The difference for Toy Story is that all of the sounds and voices are created from scratch and not from filming the movie on set.
It’s another great look at how sound helps make a film come to life.

iPhone App: Snappshot Special Free Download
iPhone App: Snappshot Special Free Download
We have all wanted to shoot some of our friends sometimes but thanks to Snappshot for the iPhone, you can. Sadly though, after being approved last week and sending in a major update, Apple has said the app will be taken off tommorrow because apps aren’t allowed to use the camera to simulate killing someone. The developer has given out free codes to download the app and here they are. Note: These are all 10 separate codes…

Video - Inception Sound Design
Video - Inception Sound Design
When you see a professionally made movie, you don’t usually think about all the work that goes into it. Of course you need good actors, good special effects, and good directing. But the one thing that is always over looked, especially by independent films, is sound. One scene of a movie can have hundreds of sound effects and tracks of audio.
This video is an inside look at the sound design behind the hit movie Inception. Within the next couple of weeks we will be having an inside look at sound design of some of Hollywoods top films.

The new Apple TV only supports 720p video?
Unlike most people, I myself own an Apple TV at my home and I love it. I store all my movies and music on my iMac and then watch all the movies I want on my TV thanks to Apple TV. I was so excited to see the latest update because it was small, a good price, and finally had Netflix. As I was strolling through the tech specs though, I found that it clearly states up to 720p and nothing about 1080p!

iPod iOS 4.1 Software Update Comes Next Week
iPod iOS 4.1 Software Update Comes Next Week
Normally we have to wait months for new iOS updates but luckily this beautiful update is coming out way next week via iTunes as usual. It will feature Game Center, iTunes Ping and TV show/Movie rentals. You’ll be able to download it soon, but here are some things to know.
All iPod touche devices should be getting Game Center, Ping and Movie/TV rentals without an issue, but iPod 2nd gen (late 2008) users will still not have Multitasking, Bluetooth keyboard support or Wallpaper… but hey, it’s still a free update right?

New iPod Touch has 2 Cameras, Facetime and HD Video recording
This is a huge move for Apple in the music device world. The new iPod Touch is literally a iPhone without the ability to make phone calls. It’s going to be a new revolution with the ability to record HD video, edit video, Facetime, all on a device that doesn’t have to be your phone. if only they’d offer a 3G plan…
