Imitation & Flattery

By Tom Saunter | Published: May 1, 2013

I’ve been lucky enough to own this domain name for a number of years, and populate it with loads of content along the way. For a while, I ran a dedicated Tumblr sideblog of the same name which I have since merged into this site. More recently, I founded Digital Cortex Ltd., a formal means of […]

Earlier this year I blogged the teaser for an upcoming short film by the team at N1ON, which looked like a really interesting work-in-progress.

Their cloud-based music sharing platform places fans and artists in direct symbiosis. It’s an interesting model, so take a look: Beyond all the virus metaphors (they even go so far as to call songs ‘strains’) the core […]

By Tom Saunter | Published: November 1, 2011

As leaders in computer animation, in terms of box-office takings, technical prowess and industry awards, it’s easy to forget that Pixar’s roots are in traditional animation: the frame by frame progression of a set of still images at speeds that trick the eye into perceiving a single moving image.
