New Web Site for LARP Group Twilight Realms
Although Shared Creation focuses extensively on Internet based creativity there is a certain rightness in looking at the real world too. LARP seems to bridge the both the digital and the real.
LARP is consenual group story telling - everyone agrees to a framework of behaviour and uses it to take part in the telling of a story. Its part a very modern idea, part a very ancient idea. The bridge between digital and realworld comes in the way that concepts, stories and characters are often developed online and then played out live.
Twilight Realms is a group that does this. The world is build largely online, and then enacted at events.
Very creative, very modern, and very retro.
Why Pirating Creative Software is not a good idea
Stealing creative software may bring you more problems than solutions, worse still it may not help you be more creative
This Call of Duty video comes from a young man who wants to get somewhere in the IT industry. The reason I’m posting this is that if you watch the video and listen to the commentary then it really is very well done. He’s into the technicalities of the game, but managing to explain what you are seeing in an engaging way. There is potential here for a great future in the game industry - or as a TV or web presenter on the subject of games.
I’ve seen adults do what is doing with far less skill.
He’s already doing the right thing - using Twitter and YouTube to give himself a platform and audience.
Fantastic Image Colourisations
Are you ready for a WOW moment? The type that occurs when you look at something and your mouth just hangs open and you go Wow!
That’s what happened with these skillful and beautifully imagines colourised photographs. I remember bad attempts at this back in the 80’s, but this work takes colourising a photograph to a whole new level
First SF Film Shot in Space
Apart from being a world first - it also shows off the importance of agreeing deals before using other peoples stuff. Something of massive importance to independent film makers. Its great to be a guerilla film maker, but unfortunately there is a time and place for it.
Lets hope this film comes out soon. Over 3 years is a long time in limbo and its sure to be a hit on the Internet.
Creative 366 Project
A nicely done photo a day project. A good use of Google+ too. Combining a good many of Google+’s features to create a really nice project blog.
“But again, truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.”
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on in this photo, but it is packed full of mood and atmosphere. Is feeling more important than knowing?

Steam Punk Sculpture
The posting calls it steam punk, and I mostly agree with that although there is a cartoon like quality to many of these that I can’t just put my finger on. Take a look and see what you think.
Discovering Independent Authors
Bookcast launched in October last year with the aim of supporting independent authors. The timing is good. As electronic book readers become more popular, the possibility for writing and selling a book minus an publisher and printing deal becomes easier and easier. The problem as always though will be discover. You need people to know about your work, and Bookcast with its news, reviews and ability to buy the book from the review is precisely the kind of place readers need to visit to know what is going on
