‘Simon’s Cat’ Tops 1 Million Subscribers on YouTube
Simon Tofield’s charming, black-and-white, animated Simon’s Cat site has reached one of YouTube’s greatest milestones – 1 million total subscribers. This places Simon’s Cat in a very exclusive club, one of only eight U.K. YouTube channels with over a million subscribers.The feat is made all the more eye-catching by virtue of the fact the Simon’s Cat
YouTube channel only has 23 videos, almost the lowest number of videos
with which a channel has made the million subscriber mark and been part
of Global Top 100 Channels on YouTube.“I’m really happy that Simon’s Cat continues to entertain so
many people,” says Tofield. “And I’m extremely grateful for the massive
support the fans have given me and the team since we started on
YouTube.”Tofield’s web series, which was first introduced in 2008, centers on a
hungry house cat who uses heavy-handed tactics to get his owner to feed
him. The cat has also been featured in several book collections.The phenomenal online popularity and huge international appeal of Simon’s Cat
has led to a raft of consumer products being launched globally. United
Agents appointed Zodiak Rights to build the UK licensing programme for Simon’s Cat in 2010 and the business continues to expand in 2012.Newly signed partners continue to extend the range of Simon’s Cat
products available. Licensees set to launch from A/W ’12 include:
Sharples ‘N’ Grant (pet accessories and products), Offshore

‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ Swings to #1
There’s a new star in the Disney XD lineup as Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man
animated series has rocketed to record ratings on Disney XD UK. The
show is the top-rated animated title on the channel, reaching 1.2
million individuals 4+, including 683,000 kids 4-15 and 265,000 boys
8-12 in its first six weeks on air.The premiere episode was the best performing show in its timeslot
with boys 8-12 on any kids TV channel in the UK. The series has also
boosted year-on-year Disney XD ratings for its timeslot by 77%.“The success of Ultimate Spider-Man demonstrates the demand for
Marvel content from a new generation” comments Boel Ferguson, General
Manager, Disney Channels UK & Ireland. “Following the incredible
success of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble in theatres across the UK
we wanted to give our viewers a go-to TV destination for more
excitement and energy of the latest Marvel series like Ultimate Spider-Man. Beginning 17 August, Marvel Universe will become the TV home for everyone’s favorite Super Heroes.”Ultimate Spider-Man, which follows a teenaged Peter Parker, is

Joe Quesada; Marvel EVP-Head of Television, Jeph Loeb; supervising
producers Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, Steven T. Seagle & Duncan Rouleau
(Man of Action); creative consultant/writer Paul Dini; and consulting
producer/writer Brian Michael Bendis. The voice cast stars Drake Bell as
Spidey and Chi McBride as Nick Fury.Additionally, the success of the show is being reflected in retail
trends, with Argos reporting last week that 6 out of their top 10 toy
lines were Spider-Man products, and that the web-shooting Spider-Man
action figure tops holiday gift recommendation lists at UK retailers
Argos and Tesco.

Italian VFX Artist Carlo Rambaldi Dies at 86
We were saddened by the recent death of Italian special effects
wizard Carlo Rambaldi, who is best known for this work on Steven
Spielberg’s E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Ridley Scott’s Alien, and John Guillermin’s 1976 version of King Kong. He passed away on Friday (Aug. 10) at the age of 86 in the southern Italian city of Lemezia Terme, after a long illness.Born in 1925 in the village of Vigarano Mainarda in Emilia-Romagna in
1925, Rambaldi graduated from Bologna’s Academy of Fine Arts in 1951.
After creating a dragon for the low-budget fantasy film Sigfredo,
directed by early Italian helmer Giacomo Gentilomo, he was drawn to the
world of cinema and moved to Rome to pursue his new passion.It was legendary Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis, who invited him to the U.S. to work on King Kong, for which he won the first special achievement Oscar in 1977. He also took home the award in 1980 for Alien and three years later for E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.Sadly, the rise of computer technology in the world of vfx provided
him with fewer opportunities to create his robots and puppets.
“Digital effects cost around eight times as much as mechatronics,” he once told the newspaper La Repubblica. “Effects on E.T.
cost $1 million and took three months. If we wanted to do the same
thing with computers, it would take more than two hundred people and
five months.”
Jeffrey Okun, the chair of the Visual Effects Society told The Hollywood Reporter,
“While I never met Mr. Rambaldi, I know I speak for the entire Society
when I say that the lifelike breakthrough puppeted alien he created for E.T.
significantly raised the bar for all creatures, including what would
become CG created creatures. His ability to inject emotion into plastic
and metal still stands as a monument to what is possible…. His talent
was immense and he will be missed, but his legacy and challenge will
live on.”

DC Comics Legend Joe Kubert Passes Away
DC comic book artist Joe Kubert, has died at the age of 85. Best
known for creating the characters Sgt. Rock and Hawkman, Kubert was also
the founder of the Kubert School of cartooning in New Jersey. His other
creations include the comic books Tor, Son of Sinbad, and Viking Prince, and, with writer Robin Moore, the comic strip Tales of the Green Beret.Kubert was inducted into the Harvey Awards’ Jack Kirby Hall of Fame
in 1997, and Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1998. He made his
comic book debut when he was a only 12 years old, growing up in the East
New York section of Brooklyn. His sons, Andy Kubert and Adam Kubert,
are also successful comic-book artists.“It’s become dramatically more accessible to make a livelihood with this
business than it ever has been,” Kubert told the New Jersey Star-Ledger. “We’ve gained a respectability that nobody who started in my business ever dreamed, It’s amazing how money changes things.” n 1976, having moved to Dover, Kubert and his wife Muriel opened The
Kubert School. Since then, students from all over the world who wanted
to make a serious career in the comic book industry sought training
there. One day a week, Kubert left his drawing table to teach a class in
comic book narrative.The prolific artist and teacher came to the United States with his
family from what was then Yzeran, Poland, where he was born in 1926. His
2003 graphic novel, Yossel — April 19, 1943 centered on a
young Jewish artist in the Warsaw ghetto. The story, he said, reimagines
life for Kubert’s own family if they had not left Europe before World
War II.

WB Talks Directing ‘Justice League’ with Affleck
Warner Bros. is reportedly set to meet with actor/director Ben Affleck to discuss him possibly directing the studio’s planned Justice League superhero epic.According to a report in Variety, the studio and Affleck are set to
meet in the next few days to discuss the project, which would unite on
the big screen such A-list DC Comics superheroes as Superman, Batman,
Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman.Affleck has plenty of comicbook movie history of his own, having starred as a comicbook artist in Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy and as the titular hero in 2003′s Daredevil for Marvel. Affleck’s co-star in that film, Jon Favreau, went on to direct the first two Iron Man films for Marvel Studios.Affleck has directed three features so far: Gone Baby Gone, 2010′s well-received The Town and the upcoming Argo.
Sources at the studio told the trade he may be primed to step up, as
Favreau did, from mid-level budgeted films to blockbuster status.Getting Justice League off the ground would be a big boost
for WB’s DC Entertainment division, which so far has struggled to find
success for any heroes beyond the iconic Batman. Last year’s Green Lantern received a lukewarm reception, and next year’s Man of Steel reboot of Superman is the only other DC pic in the WB pipeline. Justice League would likely not be ready for release before 2015.A previous attempt to make a Justice League movie with director George Miller ran afoul of budget issues and reports that The Dark Knight Rises helmer Christopher Nolan was none too keen on there being a competing version of Batman in front of moviegoers.Justice League is one of DC’s iconic properties, having
launched in 1960 as an updated version of the World War II-era Justice
Society of America. The team of superheroes idea was an immediate hit,
inadvertently prompting DC Comics rival Marvel to get back into
superheroes and revolutionizing the genre with the 1961 release of Fantastic Four.Justice League also inspired the long-running animated series, Super Friends, as well as a four-season run on Cartoon Network from 2001-2004.

Major LightWave Upgrade Announced at SIGGRAPH
The LightWave 3D Group announced today LightWave 11.5, the
most-recent version of its Emmy-winning 3D modeling, animation and
rendering software.A complete 3D pipeline, LightWave 11.5 adds features to streamline
productivity, including a new Genoma character animation and rigging
system for Modeler, predator and prey flocking, Instancing, soft-body
Bullet Dynamics, interchange support for Adobe After Effects and
Pixologic’s GoZ Fiber Mesh, major workflow enhancements and more.“LightWave 11.5 elevates artistic freedom with innovative new
features and workflow enhancements that are designed to streamline
productivity,” said Rob Powers, president, LightWave 3D Group. “From
fast interactive stereoscopic rendering in the VPR to physically
accurate hard-body and soft-body Bullet Dynamics, LightWave 11.5
continues to reinforce its leadership position as an end-to-end
pipeline.”LightWave 11.5’s new features and enhancements include:
- Genoma: A new modular instant-rigging system that can be used to quickly rig a simple biped or quadruped for animation in Modeler without the need for specialized rigging tools. It offers modular rig presets that consist of skeletal parts such as spines, wings, arms, legs, hands and feet. Complete rigs for biped and quadrupeds can easily be customized using Genoma.
- Modeling Tools: New functionality and architectural advancements in Modeler allow for faster interactivity, performance, and tool development. LightWave 11.5 introduces many new tools like UV Unwrap, Edit Edges, Place Mesh, Slice, Thicken and Heat Shrink that emphasize the system’s power and lay the groundwork for future third-party modeling tool development.
- Soft-Body Bullet Dynamics: Bullet now includes soft-body dynamics for effects such as cloth, rubber, jelly or other deforming properties. Bullet meshes are also now reactive to bone deformations and wind forces can also be added for rippling effects.
- Flocking: A specialized particle system that allows items to move in very organic ways, Flocking offers new prey and predator behaviors that allow flocks to chase other flocks or have flocking agents seek out and chase the closest prey. Neutral flocks do not chase or chase but still affect other agents for collision avoidance. Other new features include Plane, Pursuit and Arrive directors and the addition of node controls.
- Interchange Tools: A new GoAE button allows you to select elements in a scene and see them in Adobe After Effects—including animation, lights and camera setting. Changes can be made using Camera Tracker in After Effects before returning to Lightwave. GoZ technology for Pixologic’s ZBrush allows you to send models to and from LightWave with automatic node flows for textures and normal maps. ZBrush styling tools can also be imported to LightWave and attached to objects.
- Instancing: Now includes Per-Object control of scale, stretch, offset, rotate and nodal controls, along with new Copy and Paste functions and Path Mode optimizations for greater flexibility and workflow.
- ViewPort Preview Renderer: VPR transforms how artists work in LightWave with fast interactive onscreen rendering. LightWave 11.5 now supports depth-of-field and motion blur effects and stereoscopic rendering in VPR.
- Pricing and Availability: Purchase or upgrade to LightWave 11 for $1,495 and automatically receive LightWave 11.5 at no extra cost when publicly available. Upgrade pricing from earlier versions of LightWave is $695. LightWave 11.5 is expected to ship Q4 2012 at a suggested retail price of $1,495. Educational pricing is also available.

Autodesk, Lightstorm, Weta Develop Tech for ‘Avatar’ Sequels
Autodesk has partnered with Lightstorm Entertainment and Weta Digital
to develop the next generation of virtual production technology.The three companies have been working to further expand the virtual
production workflows and technologies that were first developed for
“Avatar.” Some of the tools and enhancements resulting from the
collaboration have been incorporated into certain products in the latest
Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites.“Creating the virtual production pipeline on ‘Avatar’ was a
groundbreaking process that only enabled us to scratch the surface of
what is possible. Together with Autodesk and Weta Digital, we have used
the knowledge gained from this first experience to clearly define the
ideal process and then develop the technology needed to streamline our
workflow. With the resulting pipeline, on the ‘Avatar’ sequels, I will
be able to devote more of my energy to the creative side of the
moviemaking process, and dig deeper into all that is possible with
virtual production,” said James Cameron.
To develop the next generation of virtual production technology, Weta
Digital forged a particularly close relationship with Autodesk and its
development team. As the visual effects studio on “Avatar,” and “The
Adventures of Tintin,” as well as the upcoming “The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey,” Weta Digital has established expertise in the
virtual production process.“After completing ‘Avatar,’ we had a clear understanding of the
developments needed to make the process more creative and efficient. We
knew that by bringing the whole digital pipeline more in line with the
traditional onset style of shooting we could open up brand new ways for
directors like Jim to make their films. When we’re charting new
territory like this, it’s invaluable to have a partner like Autodesk
whose tools are the platform and the standard in the industry,” said Joe
Letteri, senior digital effects supervisor at Weta Digital.As part of the Entertainment Creation Suites 2013, the new virtual
production enhancements will help studios of all sizes adopt this
revolutionary moviemaking process. The tools, found in Autodesk
MotionBuilder and Autodesk Maya software, will help improve performance,
workflow and image fidelity.MotionBuilder now loads, saves and merges files together much faster
than before, and is more closely integrated to the Editorial workflow.
Motion capture and live input data can be recorded to disk in the
software’s non-linear editor so directors can record multiple takes in
rapid sequence; actors can act out their scenes un-interrupted; and
stage crew can work instantly with Editorial to build and refine shots.
Furthermore, the software now includes HD SDI video output support,
which allows MotionBuilder to be integrated into studio video broadcast
systems, designed to introduce zero frames of lag. This gives creative
visionaries and camera operators more accurate real time feedback on
their virtual camera work.

‘Avengers’ Lifts Disney’s 3Q; Whedon Agrees to Helm Sequel
Avengers is turning out to be a gift to Disney shareholders — one that looks to keep on giving.The studio announced that Joss Whedon will return to write and direct
the sequel to the Marvel superhero blockbuster — by far the
biggest-grossing movie of the year with $1.4 billion in ticket sales —
the same day it reported third quarter revenue was up 4 percent to
nearly $11.1 billion for the quarter and profits up 24 percent to $1.8
billion over the same quarter last year.“We had a phenomenal third quarter, delivering the largest quarterly
earnings in the history of our company,” said Robert A. Iger, Chairman
and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. “Earnings per share were up 31% over
last year, driven by growth in every one of our businesses. We also
delivered record earnings per share for the first nine months of our
fiscal year, and we believe our results clearly demonstrate Disney’s
unique value proposition and great potential to deliver long-term
growth.”Disney’s bottom line was boosted by increased attendance at its theme
parks, which were revved up by the opening of California Adventure’s
Cars Land, based on the Pixar animated films. Overall studio
entertainment revenues were flat, with the success of Avengers offset by
declining home entertainment revenues. Cable networks and broadcasting
revenues both showed strong increases.Disney announced Whedon’s taking on Avengers 2 is part of an
exclusive deal the filmmaker has signed with Marvel Studios that will
run through June 2015. The deal also will see Whedon help develop
live-action TV series for Marvel Television and contribute creatively to
other Marvel feature movies.
