Samsung advances.

One of the most complete mobile phones on the market is the Samsung Galaxy S8, thanks to its elegant and striking design, and set of good features. Samsung’s new flagship phone is available in two sizes, one relatively compact that bears the name Galaxy S8 and another with a larger screen called Galaxy S8 Plus. Among the qualities it has we can highlight that it is resistant to water and dust, has excellent performance, battery life and photographic camera. It has 64GB of storage space,  microSD card slot, wireless charging, iris reader and new USB-C port. In addition to other novelties is the fingerprint sensor. But Samsung’s big bet is its new Bixby artificial intelligence, which will recognize their behavior and offer information based on their habits, and can provide contextual information about the world around them. It is based on four pillars: the voice, the camera, reminders and an interface, which serves as a home page and learns from the user to provide immediate information according to their taste and time of day or...

A talking camera in space !!!

The technological advances are incredible and go at a very fast pace. The last one was from NASA, which has created a talking camera that was sent to space.   She is the protagonist of a tour of the outer space of the International Space Station, and its mission is to retransmit as it finds the astronauts, how they feel, presents us, communicate what they do; In addition to tell the viewer some curiosities or asking it to look at certain details.   We left a recording that was made in a spacewalk of the astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough that took place the past 13 of January and lasted six hours. The video, now published by the US space agency, sums it up in three minutes.and have made it the protagonist of a space mission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mRJJYc3_-c...

British drama, global budgets: how co-productions are changing the way TV gets made

Television’s “golden age” has not come cheap. As writers, directors and actors aim to create ever more ambitious drama series, small screen budgets have skyrocketed. According to Time magazine, four of the top seven most expensive shows ever made – Game of Thrones, Sense8, The Get Down and The Crown – are on air right now. The Crown on Netflix last year cost a reported $130 million to film. The last season of Game of Thrones on HBO was priced at $10 million an episode.   The rise of co-productions TV bosses call them “co-productions”. A British broadcaster like the BBC will team up with another (usually American) broadcaster and an independent production company. All parties will invest money in the series and have a say in how it’s made. The broadcasters will then have first rights to the show in their country, while the production company will make its money back from DVD sales and other licensing deals. “There’s been a real trend, as I think viewers will have noticed, for British dramas to become much more global,” says Gareth Neame, the producer behind ITV’s global blockbuster Downton Abbey. “The production values in TV drama really are outstanding now, whether it’s The Night Manager or SS-GB or Taboo. “In many ways we were at the beginning of that journey with Downton Abbey, making something that has gone to every territory in the world.” (Downton was a co-production between ITV and US broadcaster PBS). “These shows are more and more expensive to make. A significant part of the funding will come from the BBC, but certainly not the majority,...

Mobile World Congress 2017: The biggest announcements from this year’s smartphone mega-show

  Barcelona is playing host to one of the mobile industry’s biggest events. Mobile World Congress kicked off Sunday, with companies including BlackBerry, LG, Nokia and Samsung unveiling details on the latest smartphones and tablets. Need to catch up on MWC? Here’s a recap of what you missed: Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son believes computers and artificial intelligence will be really smart. How intelligent? He thinks AI-powered computers will have an IQ of 10,000. For comparison, Son says the average person’s IQ is around 100. He even says chips in our shoes will be so advanced, they’ll be smarter than us, too. This is how the robot apocalypse starts, folks. Once upon a time, BlackBerry and Nokia owned the cell phone business. Then a pair of mobile upstarts called Apple and Google showed up. The mobile companies sought to recapture their former glory with devices unveiled during MWC. BlackBerry unveiled a secure Android device, the KeyOne, launching in the U.S. in. Meanwhile, Nokia went retro, rolling out a revamped version of their 3310 smartphone. And, yes, you can play Snake on it. The electronics giant had a lot to share, specifically two new tablets. But the bigger reveal is when they plan to unveil their next smartphone. Invites that rolled out Sunday confirmed Samsung will host an event in New York on March 29, and it’s likely we’ll see the Galaxy S8 for the first time. It’s their first big release since the Galaxy Note 7, the discontinued device recalled because of overheating batteries....

Talking sound design, 360 video and more with Douglas Price

We recently had a chance to speak with Douglas Price, one of the most important experts in sound effects worldwide, about the changing landscape of sound design. Between the rising gig-economy and 360 video rush, sound effects libraries have worked to keep pace with the latest needs of users. What differentiates Pro Sound Effects from other libraries? We focus on developing general sound effects libraries for everyday use. We are the only library that provides hard drive and online access in addition to complimentary annual updates. We want to ensure you have the sounds you need when you need them and that your library is continually improving. We also created a program with affordable access for independents, and we offer customizable annual licensing options for companies. Beyond that, there is no question that our team makes all of this differentiation and innovation both possible and ongoing. How has Pro Sound Effects worked to create new content? I started Pro Sound Effects in 2004 and since then we have established a global network of select Library Partners who we work with to intelligently grow and continually strengthen our overall library. Since general libraries for everyday go-to use are what Pro Sound Effects does best, constant curation for quality, breadth and depth are critical to ensure our library is always as useful as possible. To determine types and quantities of new sound effects, we will survey our library users, look at search data from our Online Library, and rely on insights of our Library Development team, all of whom also do freelance sound design on the side themselves. At times we will just...
