YouTube changed the 3D player; Videos must now be squashed, which this is not — that’s why the aspect is distorted. Elephants Dream is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect. Originally released in 2006, Elephants Dream got a carefully directed stereoscopic makeover in 2010, rendered at Digital Cinema 2K Flat resolution. HD Download (1920×1038): dl.wolfgang-draxinger.net For obtaining a DCP (~15GB) in either SMTPE or Interop format please contact me by YouTube direct message. www.elephantsdream.org Since releasing the video I found another set of glitches, the most notable a (very short) shot, in which there’s no eye separation. I already fixed this for the download releases and also will add an improved version here.

The J1 is the more compact, less expensive model in the line up and, like the V1, features Hybrid autofocus (combining phase detection and contrast detection AF) that allows the camera to shoot at up to 10 frames-per-second with autofocus. It’s built around a 1" type (13.2mm x 8.8mm) 10MP CMOS sensor, giving a 2.7x crop, which Nikon is calling ‘CX’ format. Like the V1, it can shoot 1080i60 video. The J1 kit with 10-30mm (27-81mm equiv.) lens will be $ 649.95. Again, the J1 is expected to arrive in the US around October 20th.
