Slashdot Mirror
Doug Chiang's Robota
inherent writes "Doug Chiang's studio has released a trailer for his upcoming book. The book is a collaboration with Sci-Fi author Orson Scott Card of Ender's Game fame, and will include 75 pieces of Chiang's artwork. Chiang is the Concept Art Director at Industrial Light and Magic (and thus the concept art guy for the Star Wars prequels). Here is a previous slashdot story on him with a link to an interview."
jebi se, budala neumna :(
alt.linux.sucks (a.l.s) is a group where people that hate Linicks can
share their disgust of the Linicks OS with other people.
Here are some guidelines for Linicks users that wish to post here:
1) We really *do* hate Linicks. We are not Linicks users playing Devil's
advocate so *please* don't ask us to do any perverted sex acts. We
don't want to gang-bang you or be your human toilet. I realise that it
may be hard to grasp, but there really *are* people in the world that
hate Linicks.
2) Anytime you are outwitted in an argument, you must say that you were
here "troll hunting" or were only pretending to be dumb.
3) You must always commit a logical fallacy in your argument.
"Misleading Vividness" and "Guilt By Association" are two very common
fallacies you may wish to commit.
4) You must immediately call anyone that disagrees with you a troll.
You must also throw around jargon in an attempt to impress us with your
knowledge.
5) Once in this group, you are owned by us. You may claim that you are
leaving the group, but you must always come back for another whipping.
6) If you present an argument that contains a logical fallacy (which you
must do at all times) we are not required to rebut it other than
pointing out the fact that it is invalid.
7) At some time during your stay here, you must state that you have
"Owned the group"
8) You *must* have taken a shower within the last 3 weeks before posting
here. Anyone found posting with a typical DGH (Dirty GNU Hippie) rank
odor will be forced to use Windows 98 as their OS for the next 7 days.
9) You will be taken more seriously if you take out a Chainsaw and trim
back your thick, grizzly beard before posting here.
10) You must always post here telling the group about the latest Microsoft
vulnerability so we can give you an extra hard whipping. See question
#3.
In closing I would like to say that the word "whipping" is used in a
figurative sense. If you are in to S&M (and we *know* you are) you can get
a real life whipping by sending an email to rms@gnu.org with your name,
address and time you will be available.
Since when do books have trailers?
redundant.. everybody knows...
whats up with Linux people refusing to pay for software?
That alien icon is, like, totally ugly.
Of persecution
Under robot rule
A hero without memory
A ragtag group of warriors
Defy the robots to save humanity
And discover the terrible secret of the robots
Hold on a second, shouldn't that be the terrible secret of space?
This guy made the special effects.. but still i blame that fat, religious, greedy man that George Lucas has turned into for this whole Star Wars desaster... He took a nice part of my childhood memories and turned it into shit..
Didn't this come out like 6 months ago?
Is Robota a film or a book or what? What exactly is a "film book"?
A "film book" is simply an art book story told in a film-like manner. Books allow the viewer to delve into the thoughts and motives of the main characters in ways film canOt. And films present drama in a linear time specific format that allows for a very controlled storytelling. I want to combine these two mediums, plus a third, the internet, to produce something different.
Eventually, this web site will compliment the book and any other mediums that are developed for Robota. Each will be used to tell a different part of the Robota world. For example, the web site will tell more of the backstory and character development using animation, text, etc. while the book will be the actual story of conflicts and how they are resolved.
This is one of the great things about telling the story in a variety of mediums. I can take advantage of the unique strengths of each medium to build a compelling world that couldn't otherwise be built in one medium.
...to make all future tries of Hollywood to produce sequels futile... I don't wan't sequels anymore!!!
...and I hate him for fuckin' Star Wars even more up by including his religious tendencies by any means necessary... I have the strong believe that Ep3 will be even more ugly than goin to church! GRGRRRR
I can't believe it's another hero with amnesia. That's the most overdone story ever. It still could be a good book.
Karma: -2^0.5 . Mainly due to the imbibing of dihydrogen monoxide
...that Star Wars (now) blows!
:)
(Like slashdot for continuously hyping sequels that failed me as bullshit movies can fail me...
I had committed articles about artworks of [enter_bullshit_movie_here] before!!! Why is Star Wars (still) so special?
Bender is supposed to be the only smoking robot!
"Star Wars is dead!" do-do-do-do-d-do d-d-d-d do-do-do-do-do... "Star Wars is dead!" do-do-do-do-
...please let Star Wars die with all the dignity (it has left) and halt Ep3 NOW!!!
For those who need it, here are the direct links to the movies.

In other news, Slashdot will now be posting trailers for all their articles. Comment trailers will be introduced by 2005 where every comment will be preceded with a trailer first.
The next trailer will be coming soon but subscribers get to beat the rush!
For those who have followed this Robota thing:
:P
This is *not* a new trailer. It's the same one that has been up there for six months now.
And no I don't mean to complain about this story since we all know already that the definition of "news" on Slashdot is pretty wide
This "new trailer" has been there since february...
Is the printed word no longer a form of media?
ooh ahh roboto-ja!
Damn, I've got to take the biggest dump. Wonder if the studio has a nice washroom...
and you want me to consider his book?
every day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
Is it just me, or does everything sound like a rehash of the Matrix/Terminator concept? Humans build robots, robots take over, humans form a rebel team to fight the robots they created...
The man is a fucking lunatic. His stuff isn't that good (sorta like Anne Rice, he wrote one good book and now he's intent on pushing out crap that follows the same formula), and more than that he's intolerant of homosexuality (I suppose that would put him in the majority on slashdot) and seems fairly intent on proselytizing the Church of Latter-Day Saints to everyone who reads, oh, anything he writes.
From the article referenced in my link:
"Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books, not to be
indiscriminately enforced against anyone who happens to be caught
violating them, but to be used when necessary to send a clear message
that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual
behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens
within that society."

Look, if this dude hadn't written "Ender's Game", he'd be a nobody, a candidate for kook status. Because he did, he continues to get a voice in popular media. I find many of his personal opinions highly disturbing and the fact that he is continually presented as part of some mainstream community even moreso.

I'm confused...do these robots run Linux with SCO code or what?
Cheers!
Sounds very much like what they did for the Blaire Witch project.
I think I spent more time at their website the day after the movie than the length of the film.
Also as a reference, Doug Chiang is no longer at ILM. He worked on the 2 prequels but left last year. He is the Art Director for Robert Zemeckis' Polar Express. VFX by Imageworks under the supervision of Ken Ralston:
Doug Chiang update
Also in his place Feng Zhu has joined the art team for Episode 3. He is this incredible artist that worked at Blur Studios. You can see more here:

The terrible secret of the robots! From space!
Will this book reveal the terrible secret of space!?
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
Sparx* is the animation studio that did this trailer, and they are also the studio behind the very slick looking Molly Star Racer.
That trailer has been there for 4-5 months.
Get with the times you fucking morons.
You have more faith in the robots than I. They will undoubtdedly have *some* capacities that exceed humans, but upon which criteria do you judge a species to be greater than another? Since robots will be born of humans, they can in turn inherit some of our failings, no?
My point is, humans do and will have *every* right to fight for supremacy, if for no other reason, than to allow the competing species to prove theirs.
