TED Talks: Jane McGonigal: Massively multi-player... thumb-wrestling?
What happens when you get an entire audience to stand up and connect with one another? Chaos, that's what. At least, that's what happened when Jane McGonigal tried to teach TED to play her favorite game. Then again, when the game is "massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling," what else would you expect?

4 Important Things You Must Know About Before Shooting a Web Series
This article was published by Jeremy Campbell who's Founder and President of the video production collaboration and freelancing site Spidvid.
Shooting a web series is a lot like playing a carnival game. It seems
easy enough on it’s face, but once you actually try it you realize
there is way more going on behind the scenes than you first realized.
Awhile ago I spoke to a web series creator (Richard Boehmcke of Twentease), and learned a few things I want to share here, coming from his perspective in his words.
There are four things you must know about before writing a script for, or shooting a web series:
1. Write to Shoot - I wrote and shot my first episode within a short time span, but then I
had many months to write the next 7 episodes before we shot any of them.
While this was great for saving time, it also allowed my
imagination to run wild. I was focused more on the story and the arc of
the characters, than the actual implementation of the project. I wrote
scenes that took place in a museum, on a bus, in a nightclub, and in a
taxi without ever considering how hard they might be to shoot. In the
end we had to rewrite most of the scenes because it just wasn't
practical to shoot in a dozen different locations. Make sure the scene
in the script is a place you can shoot in with minimal effort.
2. If You Have No Sound You Have No Web Series - The first episode we shot we paid very little attention to the
microphone. Now, it’s one of the most important elements of our setup.
People will forgive low film quality before they will forgive poor
sound. We are used to watching things that are moderately entertaining
in low resolution. However if you can't understand what the actors are
saying, nobody is going to pretend they are watching a silent film. Make
sure you get your sound right the first time. Double-check the sound
IMMEDIATELY after you shoot the scene. Finding out you didn't get it
right while still on set is way better than figuring that out during the
editing process.
3. Trying To Do It All Is Suicide - I love being a writer/director, but it's dangerous. Even if you are
the best writer/director/producer/actor/whatever, it is impossible to be
the best at all of them at the same time. Doing two (or three or four)
things at once means that something has to suffer. Often, you don't
realize what has suffered until it's time to edit. And then you see you
missed correcting an actor's mistake because you were too busy trying to
get the perfect lighting for the shot. Find talented people to fill the
other roles. It will allow you to make a much better product.
4. 720 is Better Than 1080 - The reason? Time. When it comes down to it, yes 1080 is a better
quality than 720, but the amount of extra time it takes to move the
files, render them during editing, and export a final product are often
more trouble than it is worth. Plus most people don't have the patience
or the bandwidth to wait for something to load up in 1080. If you are
doing a scripted web series, it's OK to have it exist in 720. Nobody is
expecting products done on a shoestring budget to look like cinematic
masterpieces. It just needs to look good enough to get you to the next
step.
It's easy to think that we are capable of anything, and that we want
to make the biggest, best, most HD web series ever. But that is often
impractical. It is far more beneficial is to break it down into smaller
chunks. First, evaluate your end goal. Next, take a look at your
resources. Then, figure out how your resources can help you reach that
end goal. Finally, go make something incredibly awesome and impossible
to ignore.

Philippine police officials say death toll after Super Typhoon Haiyan could reach 10,000
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan
Typhoon Haiyan of November 2013, which is known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, is one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded. The thirtieth named storm, thirteenth typhoon, and fifth super-typhoon of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan originated as an area of low pressure east-southeast of Pohnpei in the western Pacific Ocean on November 2. Tracking generally westward, the disturbance steadily developed within an environment of light wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures, becoming a tropical depression early the following day. After becoming a tropical storm and attaining the name Haiyan at 0000 UTC on November 4, the system began a period of explosive deepening that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5. With an expanding and deepening central dense overcast and clear eye visible on satellite, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) upgraded Haiyan to a super typhoon—a typhoon in which maximum sustained winds attain or exceed 240 km/h (150 mph)—early on November 6. After entering PAGASA's region of responsibility, the JTWC upgraded Haiyan to a Category 5 equivalent on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.
Steered by a subtropical ridge to the cyclone's north, the eye of Haiyan passed over the northern portion of Palau, where extensive wind damage was observed. Thereafter, it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on November 7, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (145 mph), the highest in relation to the cyclone. At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (195 mph), unofficially making Haiyan the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever observed. Several hours later, the eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Samar, without any change in intensity; if verified, this would make Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone to make a landfall on record, which may surpass the old record of 305 km/h (190 mph) set by Hurricane Camille in 1969. On November 8, the cyclone entered the South China Sea and was downgraded to a Category 4 typhoon by the JTWC. Readings indicated that Typhoon Haiyan dropped to Category 3 as it traversed the South China Sea, with gusts of up to 210 km/h (130 mph) and 1-minute sustained winds of up to 190 km/h (120 mph).
The cyclone caused widespread devastation in the Philippines, particularly on Samar Island and Leyte, where at least 10,000 people were feared to have died in the city of Tacloban alone.
Our thoughts go out to the people of the Phillippines.
There are community members with friends and family in the Phillippines, and our hearts are with those who have lost loved ones in the tragedy.
