Live Music

AllFacebook

Facebook has been used to accomplish a lot of things including organizing global protests, running political campaigns, and even hunt down criminals. On Friday, the first “crowd-sourced” movie to be developed, “Live Music”, will be released. The movie, was developed by connecting artists from around the world on Facebook via the Mass Animation Facebook page.

The movie was developed by a whopping 58,000+ participants from 101 countries who provided input and 51 animators who collaborated to develop the film. While not all of the 58,000 fans of the project provided input, it illustrates how Facebook can be used to connect individuals from around the world to accomplish just about anything. For those that aren’t aware of the story line for “Live Music”, it’s a love story about a guitar and a violin.

If you are interested in learning more about the movie, check out the Mass Animation Facebook page and watch the videos below. Also, for those of you interested in participating in future Mass Animation projects, yesterday a new contest application launched which will give DC Comics fans, gamers and animators a chance to animate heroes and villains from the DC Universe Online game and to collaborate in creating a CGI tailer an in-game character animations. Learn more via the Mass Animation Facebook Page and the Mass Animation application.

Who is Salt

Angelina Jolie plays a CIA operative (Evelyn Salt) who turns rogue to clear her name after a defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper agent. Using her skills and experience as a convert operative, the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues with the question: “Who is Salt?”

Tom Cruise was originally set to play the lead but left and joined Cameron Diaz in an action comedy. Luckily the role was given to Jolie as it would be tedious for film-goers to see Cruise say “somebody is setting me up” again as he was already “set up” in Mission Impossible and Minority Report.

Bourne but with a hot chick.

How to Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down.
