Zimmer Twins Make Your Own Videos

The Zimmer Twins

We’ve seen a lot of media companies try to allow user generated content that both engaged and entertained its audience for hours on end. Now NBC’s Saturday morning kids’ block qubo is trying to do just that with their new animated property The Zimmer Twins.

What makes Zimmer Twins different is the huge amount of options children have when creating their own videos. It’s not a mere choose a couple of clips and see how they work together. It’s choose a clip, change the background, change the character, add some text, and ultimately create a story.

The user interface to create your videos is very easy to use. Within minutes you’ll be able to create, edit, and publish a video.

qubo actually looks at all the user-generated videos and will air the best of these on TV!

The Shadow Fan Gets A New Design

The Shadow Fan

My website TheShadowFan.com a website dedicated to the 1930s pulp hero The Shadow has just received a face lift. I’m eagerly awaiting the new shadow film set for a 2010 release. With Sam Raimi and Michael Uslan teaming up to produce the new film, I’m sure it’ll be a huge hit. Be aware that I’ll be covering this film inside and out when information breaks!

I am THE SHADOW FAN!!!

Blog Nothing Day

 

Blog Nothing Day

If you run a blog be aware that Blog Nothing Day is tomorrow November 26th! This isn’t necessarily an official blogger holiday. The “founder” wants to show his support for the writers in Hollywood by not blogging on his blog and he asks that other bloggers follow pursuit.

Will StuffWeLike follow the crowd? No, not intentionally. We’ve practically already taken a vacation from blogging over the Thanksgiving break and now things are finally getting back to normal.

Some damn cool cast manips for Dragon Ball Z: The Movie

The guys at Filmonic have gotten their hands on some really cool cast manips by someone called “xwolverine2” for the (seemingly dreadful) upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie. These are based on the recent announcement that Justin Chatwin will be Goku and James Marsters is Piccolo. Since Digg has decimated them, courtesy The Digg Effect, we’ve got the pics right here.
