WizNews: Issue 6
Machine Learning, Super Minimalism, and More.
Dear Team Wiztoonz,
Welcome to the 6th issue of our weekly newsletter.
Without the aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance, form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form -Paul Rand
TECH: Machine Learning is definitely the Future and Keywee is an AI-powered copywriting tool that helps in Promotional content writing. A really awesome tool that uses machine learning from sampling millions of ads. There’s a free trial as well.
DESIGN: Introducing Super Minimalism. Italian design duo Formafantasma has unveiled a pared-back website designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
EDU: Delighted to share this personal piece of happiness. The design paper by Mahesh Ravi got published by Academia and is getting good traction from University circles.
DESIGN: Who would’ve thought VHS tapes from the ’80s will be the best way to teach design principles in 2021. Check this out.
VFX: A super easy tool to create low-fidelity 3D models from 2D images. Perfect for use in crowd simulations, games and background render. What’s even cooler? It even converts 2D Video to 3D Animations. Check out PIFuHD.
TECH: Sony is expanding its FX Cinema Line with a new compact model, the FX3. The slimmer form factor lends itself better to location, documentary, and aerial work.
VFX: Mixing 2D Animation with Live Action might seem slightly dated now but who can forget the magic “Who framed Roger Rabbit?” brought in the ‘80s. Creators are trying to bring back the same magic with the upcoming “Tom & Jerry” Movie.
That’s it for today. yallā bye!
