I possibly did myself no favours by rattling on about surround sound and Toy Story 3 and whatnot in my last post, and that was me giving the simplified version. I admit it, I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to tech and alike.
Anyway, my new best friends at Dolby are back on the road to COOL with this video…don’t believe me, believe in Beardyman himself:
“The piece was produced by Think Espionage and Dolby and is super sick in the face. If you like it, that makes you really cool”
Kinda animation related (and would definitely be nominated for this) so stick your headphones on have a nerd-tastic weekend!
Things have been pretty light on Pixar loving of late but that ain’t gonna last too long with the release of Toy Story 3. No doubt its going to be a masterpiece of style, technical wizardry, storytelling and everything else that they do all so well (its all guesswork until I see it but lets face it, Pixar don’t exactly do badfilms…). So ye can all drool over the visuals but what caught my eye is that Pixar, along with Skywalker Sound and Dolby Laboratories, have developed a new 7.1 surround sound configuration for the film to be viewed in – unfortunately Dolby are essentially men-in-white-coats and lack the creative genius of Pixar so the best name they could come up with was well….Dolby Surround 7.1.
Nerds, put your specs on, things are gonna get wordy!! (more…)
