Some of the best animations and 3D clips on the Web, all in one place – it’s like Youtube in 3D!

Recently, movie-goers across the world have been wowed by the special effects in debutant director Neil Blomkamp’s new science fiction film, District 9. However, this is not Blomkamp’s first attempt at the medium. He had previously showcased his talents in a short film that was quite popular on the Internet, called Alive in Jo’burg.

The Web is a great medium for upcoming film-makers to show off what they are capable of, with several short films and fan fiction earning great praise. This becomes a platform for newcomers to be able to get their movie seen by thousands of people and commented on, thus earning valuable feedback and perhaps getting the eye of a producer.

In the niche of 3D films, one of the best sites to check out such new talents is 3D Mini Clips. As the name suggests, the site hosts only videos and short films that make use of extensive 3D animation and special effects – and most of them are a treat to watch!

The top-rated video (a list of which can be seen at the right of the home page) on the site, ‘World Builder’ by Branit VFX, is a must-see for the incredible effects in it. It’s a seven-minute clip, but every second is unmissable.
 
On the left, there’s a listing of all the genres of videos: Architecture, Artistic, Commercial, Composition, Fantasy, Full Movies, Funny, Movie Trailers, Music Videos, Photo Realistic, Portfolios, Product Prototypes, Sci-Fi, Short Movies, Simulations, Special FX, Video Games.

The main page itself shows the latest video additions, with a chronological listing of the new videos. Separate tabs for ‘Top Videos’ and ‘New Videos’ take you to specialized pages for the same, and the ‘Random Videos’ tab will throw up clip after clip for your enjoyment.

If you are someone who enjoys 3D effects in movies, 3D Mini Clips is a must-visit.

A simple way to automatically tag all your photos and upload them to Facebook or Flickr; and an even easier way to download entire albums of your friends’ photos!

Today’s software will appeal to those who use online photo-sharing services to upload their own images or check out a friend’s photographs. Fotobounce has two major purposes: uploading pictures for your friends to see, and downloading their albums quickly and easily.

AUTO-TAGGING THROUGH FACE RECOGNITION

When it comes to online photo-sharing services like Photobucket, Flickr and Picasa, the most annoying aspect of the whole uploading process is tagging. You have to assign meaningful ‘tags’ to your images to make sure someone can share your album easily for them, throw up relevant results from other people’s albums and generally help out in the image navigation.

Now, when it comes to albums of family and friends, you generally have a handful names cropping up in over 200 photos at a time. Wouldn’t it be easier if the software just knew who was in which picture and named them accordingly?

Well, that’s exactly what Fotobounce claims to do. It boasts of having smart facial recognition algorithms that can scan your pictures for faces and tag them accordingly. And the rate is quite impressive too, with the software developers saying it can churn out 1,000 photos in approximately an hour.

And once you are done, the program automatically uploads all the images to your Flick or Facebook account. We didn’t try this out, but if it works as promised, it can’t get any better!

BULK DOWNLOADING

We’ve all been in this situation: You go on a trip with a friend or to a function and he/she had the camera. Of course, you always want a copy of the pictures for yourself. The friend uploads the photos to his/her Facebook or Flickr account and then you spend hours painfully downloading each image individually.

Next time you find yourself in such a predicament, simply fire up Fotobounce and point it to the friend’s album. The software will automatically download all the images in an album to your local hard disk and save you a lot of time and energy. Nice!
