Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Friend or Foe

The epic live action trailer in itself is great as we get to see some amazing footages (Middle Earth Universe) but to drop an interactive trailer so as we get the message of where the story is moving towards, is downright genius. Down below is the Teaser for the Shadow of War, Friend or Foe.

The live action trailer really sets the mood with the settings of Mordor and that too in the middle of the battlefield and leading a fight between the humans and the orcs. Released on 18/09/2017

This time the setting of the fight is with human leading an army of orcs (army of Orcs amass under the rule of man) against the orcs that are invading Mordor.

The interactive part of the trailer is the choices that one makes; as nothing will be forgotten. One needs to go through the choices in the trailer to know what choices will be available during the game. We get the choice of choosing our Nemesis.

People bringing some of the most fancy memories to life is what technology is letting us do. A Youtuber in Taiwan brought back Goku (Anime character from Dragon Ball series) and the flying Nimbus to life on the streets of Taipei (Capital of Taiwan). Have a look at the video of how a hoverboard - 2 wheeled scooter was used.

The above video was inspired by another set of duo in New York who bought Disney's Aladdin's Flying Carpet to life on the streets of New York. Jesse Wellens (from Prank vs Prank) and Casey Neistat created the flying carpet concept using a motorized skate board.

Today is in Back to the Future 2

Photo Courtesy to Back to the Future Movie
Today, is the day Marty McFly traveled to the future in 'Back to the Future 2' - 21st October 2015. The internet is going on about this subject. The important point is that what predictions (more like assumptions) of a particular futuristic date and what we would have accomplished during that time is the main concern. Its like when countries and government come up with 5 year plans or 2020 target or 2030  or even 2050. Do we accomplish our things that we sent our mind to. I feel it is more like New Year Resolutions - what we have achieved during the previous year and will that drive us to accomplish anything during the rest of the 365 days. Some of the interesting set of videos to look out for the above subject are shown below.

The above video by Fine Brothers on Youtube give us a feel about how the young generation imagine what it will be like in the future - Things we imagine about the future as against what is really in the future. Example, flying cars were to be a thing in 2015 in 'Back to the future 2', but we are still way away from having a commercially viable flying car. Another video is about the Time Paradox effect of Time travelling by 'How it Should Have Ended'

Scientists usually say that we can make things happen or make but creativity and ideas are of those of writers. Similarly, the movies give a lot of ideas and many try to make them into reality, be it hoverboards or adjusting jackets. Below is a video on the adjusting jackets created by Instructables

Lexus came up with the most realistic & believable hoverboard video. The only thing for that to happen is the whole mechanism is placed below the hoverboard track with super cooled - super conductors - super magnetism concept to make it happen. There are multiple videos - 'It's Here', 'The Ride', 'The Science' , 'The Story', 'Hoverpark', 'Evolution' and 'Testing'.

The online community is coming up with what things Back to the Future got right or not. One such video is below.

Kung Fury - Crowd Funded Movie

Photo Courtesy of Kung Fury Youtube.
Kung Fury is a Kickstarter campaign - crowd funded project which was launched in December 2013, backed by 17,000 people who together gave more than $630,000 (US Dollars) has finally been released (28th May 2015). Written and Directed by David Sandberg. The description on its youtube page is as follows:
Kung Fury is an over-the-top 80’s action comedy that was crowd funded through Kickstarter. It features Kung Fury, a Kung Fu renegade cop who travels back in time to kill his Nemesis, Hitler. The film features nazis, dinosaurs, vikings and cheesy one-liners. 
 I am really interested in seeing how this crowd funded project proves in the coming days or weeks. Even, David Hasselhoff is part of the project by performing in the lead track 'True Survivor' which was released on 16th April 2015 on his official VEVO account. Below is the official video of the lead track.
