Ad insaputa del vicinato, dietro questa casa, c’è un grande rifugio segreto. Lì, in mezzo a un piccolo esercito di schiavi, scopriamo Gru (doppiato da Steve Carell), che sta progettando il più grande colpo della storia del mondo: rubare la luna! (si, proprio la luna) Gru adora ogni genere di misfatti. Armato di un arsenale di razzi che restringono o congelano e di veicoli in grado di combattere via terra e via aria, Gru travolge e conquista tutto ciò che trova sulla sua strada. Ma tutto questo cambia il giorno in cui si imbatte in tre ragazzine orfane molto determinate, che gli daranno filo da torcere e che vedono in lui qualcosa che nessun altro ha mai visto prima: un potenziale papà. Un cast di celebrità guidato da Steve Carell (Ortone e il mondo dei Chi, Agente Smart Casino Totale, The Office) dà voce ai vari personaggi del film: Jason Segel (Non mi scaricare, la sitcom ‘E alla fine arriva mamma’); Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live, Ghost Town); Danny McBride (Strafumati, Tropic Thunder, Land of the Lost); Will Arnett (Ortone e il mondo dei Chi, Arrested Development); Russell Brand (Non mi scaricare, Racconti incantati); Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords); Jack McBrayer (30 Rock, Non mi scaricare); Miranda Cosgrove (star dello show di successo di Nickelodeon, iCarly); e la leggendaria Julie Andrews (Principe azzurro cercasi, Mary Poppins, Tutti insieme appassionatamente).

  • Engineering a Successful Mission: Lessons from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
    Engineering a Successful Mission: Lessons from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Presentation at the Supply Chain 2011 Conference October 19, 2011 David Everett, NASA GSFC Abstract • Engineering a Successful Mission: Lessons from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter • Abstract—Schedule pressure is common in the commercial world, where late delivery of a product means delayed income and loss of profit. Research spacecraft developed by NASA, on the other hand, tend to be driven by the high cost of launch vehicles and the public scrutiny of failure--the primary driver is ensuring proper operation in space for a system that cannot be retrieved for repair. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) development faced both schedule pressure and high visibility. The team had to balance the strong push to meet a launch date against the need to ensure that this first mission for Exploration succeeded. This presentation will provide an overview of the mission from concept through its first year of operation and explore some of the challenges the systems engineering team faced taking a mission from preliminary design review to pre-ship review in 3 years. 2 10/19/11, Supply Chain 2011, LRO, D.

  • Disruption in the Animation Feature Film Industry: Is Low-Cost, High-Quality Animated Features the Future?
    http://techstory.in/disruption-in-animation-feature-film-industry/ Disruption In The Animation Feature Film Industry: Is Low-Cost, High-Quality Animated Features The Future? August 25, 2017 Globally, animation features are the most profitable genre of filmed-entertainment. Since Toy Story by Pixar opened-up the computer graphics imaging (CGI) animation landscape in 1995, the segment has been largely dominated by the majors. Toy Story unabashedly led the first tectonic shift in the modern-day animation ecosystem with its disruptive creative and technical mastery. In the 22 years since, about 150 CGI movies have been released, c. 80% of which have been productions by a select few studios and distributors – entirely driven by Hollywood. Animation is a capital-intensive medium, and the budget for the tent-pole films by the majors were in the $100-$200m range, until the genre of the mid-tier budget features ($50 – 80m) was born, and commercially established – led by the creative wonders from Chris Meledandri of Illumination (Minions, Despicable Me, etc.) fame. The economics on such high-quality mid-tier budget features were highly attractive. The ability for such films to also create high franchise value at significantly lower costs led to another disruptive change in the perception of animation filmmaking. Audiences love powerful storytelling and compelling visuals – the route to realizing this was secondary. Whilst Hollywood continues to remain the driving force in the global entertainment business, the world order is changing. China and India, among other facets of economic evolution, have a key role to play in the entertainment industry as well.
