Nor is programming any more "creative" than hammering Luan sheets to a frame of 1x3's. A guy building a flat or setpeice for a Stage Show or Film Production is no different than a contractor building a wall for a house or building.
IATSE is not just for the designers of shows, they also cover the people who do the low-level grunt work of building sets, flying scenery, and pushing setpeices around the stage.
Seeing as video-game developement is a creative field in the entertainment industry. Should IATSE(Internation Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employee's) expand to allow video game developers into it, as well as its curret grouping of Theatre and Film Industry workers? The problem might have already been solved.
I heard Uwe Boll was directing Halo the movie and it was going to star the Taco Bell dog and Paulie Shore. IS THIS TRUE?
Well, the statement above does sound like an "interesting" project, but as ever, if you didn't hear it officially from Microsoft or Bungie Studios, you didn't hear it confirmed. This is Microsoft's official line on the existence or non-existence of a Halo movie:
"Halo is one of the most sought after properties and since the November launch of Halo 2, the interest level has exploded. Halo 2 has now sold more than 6.4 million copies worldwide, bringing the entire Halo franchise to a collective 12.8 million units in just three years' time. We have not, however, made any official movie announcements."
Is that ambiguous PR talk for, "We haven't announced nothin'?" Yes! Why yes it is!
Bonus feature disks on commercial DVDs. The UHF commentary track. The Men in Black on-screen commentary. The multiple language tracks on the official Star Wars Extra Special Edition DVD set.
As well as the "Myterious Mysteries" pre-ANH DVDr laserdisc transfer. You can use the angle button to switch between the restored 1977 opening crawl and the 1981 "A New Hope" crawl.
The Angle feature, is really multiple simultaneous video streams. And it is used fairly frequently.
This is the video you were referring to. Builds from the RTS sci-fi Myth days, up the the E3 2000 demo build. Interesting video to say the least. This was later re-edited into the video seen on the Halo 2 LE DVD.
It sounds like the patents can ONLY be used by OSS projects, and not by closed-source. Most likely, this means that it will only end up in GPL projects, as a BSD-License can lead to some very shaky grey-area with this aspect of the source licensing.
Well, there goes the 44,000[1] miles I would have gotten on a round-trip to Clarke[2]
1: Geosynchronous orbit is ~22,000 miles above sea-level.
2: Geosynchronous orbit is sometimes referred to as "Clarke Orbit" as the idea was invented by Aurthur C. Clarke in one of his publications
Tape two DV cameras side-by-side and shoot... Then collage the two frames together, frame by frame... Uh, good luck!
I was reading an article in CineFex on the production of SeaBiscut (Issue 95, October 2003, Matrix: Reloaded Cover Story), and that actually is what they did for the POV shots of the jockeys riding on the horses.
The biggest problem with that is then having to rotoscope out the parallax of each frame. A real PITA to do.
I was playing Delta Halo this weekend, when I found my tank suddenly flying through the air, as I was going over an elevated section with lots of those sheilds. I knew that sheild jumping was a time-honored practice in Halo, for getting out of Maps like "Truth and Reconciliation", I didn't realize that they made it work for vehicles as well.
I guess the use of Havok made the work of such heroes as Frogblast, Dark Helmet, Randall Glass somewhat different for Halo 2.

If I hadn't spent my modpoints in Atlantic City, Vegas, and that one Indian Reservation. I'd mod this up, right about..... now.
You like Castlevania, don't you?
Metal Gear Solid, (The first one).
Granted it isn't really neccesary, but it does help immerse you in the game.
3.1 added this ability.

You mean like the Pippin?
I guess Dave Hyatt never did pay the $50 to Ben. So he had to leave for Google.

Who needs The Screen Savers. I get KFI.
And my cable plan doesn't extend to G4TechTV.I wasn't born until October of 1987, so I missed out on SN 1987a.
But there is always Eta Carinae to hope for.

The article say there will be a new perfect dark game 12 to 24 months from the announcement. It was published in 2002.
Where is it? I guess I should try to finish the first one, before the second one comes out. (I hate area 51)Well, there goes the 44,000[1] miles I would have gotten on a round-trip to Clarke[2]

Don't give your hopes up on a console port happening. ever.Please, please tell that to the college board.
- HD-DVD is technologically inferior to Blu-Ray.
- Blu-Ray is backed by Sony
I think we can see why HD-DVD would win this format war, judging by the past history of how other wars have played out.My bad, It's the last title on the disc, which is 38, not 36.
Just go to title 36 on the bonus DVD.
No messing with pressing 1138 on the remote, something that has never worked for me.
Lets make spam illegal while we are at it.
Wait...
But the intarweb told me that the Google Toolbar WAS spyware.
