9:07PM Kit Eaton | Hackaday has a piece about an upcoming Discovery Channel show called “Prototype this!” It’s due in October, and since it’s about making and modding robots and other gizmos, it sounds like a Mythbusters-meets-Makerfaire geeky heaven. [Hackaday] More »

First Entirely Green Screen Show Coming to TV
1:27AM Mark Wilson | Sci Fi has announced that they’ll be producing Sanctuary, television’s first entirely green screen show. Its plot explores the possible existence of shadow-hidden mutants living among us (which doesn’t sound like the worst fodder for CGI overload, though a weather drama might have required a lower budget). With the ever-dropping price and simultaneous growing capabilities of computer graphics and compositing software/hardware, it’s almost surprising that someone (outside of Hollywood) didn’t beat Sci Fi to the punch. But one thing’s for sure: this trend is far from over. And there’s a strong possibility of rain, too. [tvfodder] More »

Microsoft Gets Worst Movies Ever Producer to Create Exclusive Xbox Live Shows
11:25AM Haroon Malik | Microsoft has just inked a deal with Peter Safran, the producer of amazing cinema masterpieces like Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, Meet the Spartans, and the all-time-classic RocketMan, to produce “original” shows for distribution via Xbox 360’s Live service. Like his movies, the 10-minute-max shows will “initially” be scripted (or something like that,) and they will focus on the “horror” and “comedy” genres, “appealing to the Xbox 360 demographic.” Apparently, Microsoft and Safran think that Xbox Live video users are retards with short attention span problems.
