From NZ book council: “Colenso BBDO was briefed by The New Zealand Book Council, to develop a piece of film that would inspire more New Zealanders to read more books.

Colenso worked with Andersen M Studios in London to develop a concept that would show Maurice Gee’s classic novel, Going West, coming to life through hand cut ‘pop up’ scenery springing up from the pages.

What resulted was eight months of hard work and intricate paper cutting to create the two minute film.”

cloud computing at the peak of inflated expectations

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:32:42 +1300

The Gartner hype cycle is essentially a map of technologies over five phases that correspond with the value of a particular technology. Technologies start off with a lot of hype. As reality sets in, the hype dies down, and people end up underestimating the technology (the trough of disillusionment). Finally people start to figure out both the true value of a technology and how to use it effectively and it enters the Plateau of Productivity.

The August update has cloud computing featured on the peak of inflated expectations.

“Mobile live-streaming service Qik announced today that you can download its app for the Droid phone from the Android Marketplace, and sign up for early beta access to a high-res version of the Qik client for the Droid that can capture videos in DVD resolution (720×480).

The company says it’s the first live mobile provider to enable DVD-quality video capture. Qik has also improved its capabilities to help users create shortcuts to make sharing Qik-created videos with your contacts or social media sites faster. In the battle between the iPhone and the Droid, the Droid wins on the live-streaming front because, well, it actually streams live video. The iPhone lets you record video for uploading later.”
