On June 4, Canon’s Project Imaginat10n will be open for submissions for its new contest to create a short film inspired by one of 91 still photographs chosen by Academy-award winning director Ron Howard and his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard as part of Project Imagina8tion.

The contest will result in 10 short films (10-minutes or less), based on the winning still photos. Five of them are being directed by celebrity directors – Jamie Foxx, Eva Longoria, James Murphy, Biz Stone and Georgina Chapman, while the other five will be chosen from submissions.

Bryce and Ron Howard will help choose the five winning user-generated films, which will be screened alongside the celebrity directors’ films at the Project Imaginat10n Film Festival. Each winner will also receive $5,000.

Vicon Introduces Mobile Mocap at SIGGRAPH

1
Motion capture systems developer Vicon is previewing a futuristic new “Mobile Mocap” technology at SIGGRAPH 2011 in Vancouver. Moving mocap out of the lab and into the field, Vicon's Mobile Mocap system taps several new technologies, many years in the making. At the heart of Mobile Mocap is a very small lipstick-sized camera that enables less obtrusive, more accurate facial animation data. The new cameras capture 720p (1280X720) footage at 60 frames per second. In addition, a powerful processing unit synchronizes, stores, and wirelessly transmits the data, all in a tiny wearable design.
