The Unborn - Trailer

Internet Stuff, Movies 1 Comment »

I saw an amazing trailer for new Michael Bay movie The Unborn at Apple Trailers.

The Unborn looks to me like The Exorcist, The Grudge, The Omen with the visual effects style of The Thing. And I love all of those movies, so I’m looking forward to The Unborn.

If you enjoyed this trailer for The Unborn, please leave a comment.

David S. Goyer is both the writer and director of The Unborn, he also wrote the entire Blade Trilogy, Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight.

What do you think of The Unborn trailer?

Enterprise Lands At Gatwick… In Google Earth

google earth No Comments »

This weekend I had a play around with Google Earth’s new API using it’s new browser plugin.

Enterprise D Lands At GatwickAfter some photoshopping and a lot of conversions (from pixels to metres to nautical miles to degrees of lat/long then divide by two), I managed to land a perfect scale replica of the Enterprise D at my local airport, London Gatwick.

Gatwick might be the world’s busiest single runway airport, but with the Enterprise on the tarmac, it made it look like a petrol station.

I did this by creating a transparent PNG of the Enterprise D and then mashing it into Google Earth as a ground overlay. The calculations were relatively simple. The hardest part was parking the Enterprise by nudging it in increments of about 100 metres. That about as precise as washing your finest crockery using a baseball bat.

Google’s Google Earth plugin is a bit shakey at the moment and is only available in Firefox and IE on Windows, but soon I’ll create a tutorial section showcasing a few of the things I’ve learnt.
