RED Unveils Tech Behind Hydrogen’s Holographs

The secret to RED Hydrogen’s holographic display has a name and that name is Leia.

9 Most Anticipated Films in TIFF 2017’s Edgy Lineup

Here are the films we’re most excited to see at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.

The 10-day Toronto International Film Festival, fondly known as TIFF, has grown from a subcultural gathering for Canadian cinephiles to one of the largest and most internationally renowned film festivals on the circuit. With a projected 500,000 attendees and over 300 films being screened this year, TIFF is a reliable pit stop for Oscar hopefuls and buzz-generator for international indie gems. This year, TIFF programmers cut the lineup by 20%; as a result, the lineup is more refined—and edgier—than ever. The selected films represent a world embroiled in complex issues, from the migration crisis to the definition of modern masculinity to the geopolitical and interpersonal conflicts in which all of us are implicated in some way or another.

Below, we’ve selected nine movies we can’t wait to see.

Unsplash Awards: A little sat down with Founder Mikael Cho

Exactly one week ago, we have introduced the Unsplash Awards on Abduzeedo. A celebration made just for you, to recognize the open photography movement. Did you start submitting your photos yet? There is still plenty of time, please do check out Awards.Unsplash.com By the meantime, we would like to take the opportunity also to share a little interview/sat down we had with the founder of Unsplash – Mikael Cho. Get his insights on what motivates him from the Unsplash community.

Doing a yearly ‘awards’ type event was something we always wanted to do. But it was a challenge to do it in the right way.

Tell us about what is the Unsplash Awards?

The Unsplash Awards is a celebration of the people powering the open source photography movement. On Unsplash, millions of people every month are inspired by photography they can openly use to create. We felt it was important to create a moment that acknowledges the contributors who’ve made this possible by generously gifting their photography.

We’ve created 10 photography categories where we’ll feature the photos from Unsplash contributors: Aerial, Animals & Wildlife, Astrophotography, Food & Drink, Interiors & Architecture, Nature & Landscapes, People & Portraits, Sports, Street Photography and Unsplash community.

For each category, we’re inviting a guest curator to help select the photos to feature. Guest curators include Airbnb, Ultralinx, Squarespace, Imgix, Kodak, DJI, and Lonely Planet.

How did you (and team) come up with the Unsplash Awards?

Without our community, Unsplash would be nothing.

Doing a yearly ‘awards’ type event was something we always wanted to do. But it was a challenge to do it in the right way.

Unsplash originally started as a side project inside of our company Crew. So we didn’t have the team to put together an ‘awards’ event the way we wanted.

Earlier this year though, we spun Unsplash out into its own company. This allowed us to expand our team and execute on Unsplash Awards the way we wanted to.

What is going to be the whole process of the Unsplash Awards?

Sept. 1 – Sept. 30 – Photo submissions open at awards.unsplash.com
Oct. 1 – Oct. 10 – Guest judges make selections
Oct 15 – Announcement of featured photos

How did you (and team) come up with the categories of the Unsplash Awards? Is it relevant to what is being shared on the platform?

The Unsplash Awards photography categories were definitely inspired by the photos we see everyday on Unsplash. There’s over 250,000 photos on Unsplash now and most fit into these 10 categories.

Beautiful Vector Illustration by FUGSTRATOR

Michael Fugoso is a San Diego based designers and illustrator with some incredible illustration work. Fugstrator as he is also known on Instagram, where he posts some of his most recent work. The cool thing about Michael’s illustration in my opinion is the style. It brings back some of the skeuomorphic elements but it also blends with some beautiful cutout paper effects. He also has a series of illustrations on aircrafts and spaceships, all with a bit of a retro mood. Like the Paper Shuttle Launch project.

Fugoso’s process starts always with hand-drawn and then he moves on to rendering, usually on a vector tool like Adobe Illustrator or Autodesk Graphic. Most of the time he gets commissioned to do fan art or about popular icons of the past. He is very proud to say that all of his work starts from drawings, done by hand. Another one of his passions is photography, it helps him to find inspiration because he loves taking photos he mentions on his site.
