CBR did a excellent interview with Bob Silva, well worth a read if you interested in the future of the English branch of Humanoids Publishing.

Personalty I think Humanoids has produced / published some of the best comics ever. Actually the large print hardcovers of The Techno Priests and a few others are the BEST comics I have ever held in my hands and laid my eyes on; breathtakingly beautiful.

Needles to say I am overjoyed to see Humanoids return to publishing in English extra so independently. I predict we will see some really new amazing comics and hopefully hardcover reissues of some of the Humanoids classics like Incal or Metabarons.

3D is coming

Shooting in 3D has traditionally required a complex, bulky and fragile rig using two cameras and additional hardware to calibrate and adjust them. Panasonic's straight-forwardly-named Twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder looks to radically change the 3D game, with integrated lenses and dual memory card slots allowing you to capture 3D footage immediately, with just one device.
The camcorder records onto inexpensive SDHC/SD memory cards, thankfully abandoning the P2 system used for its concept 3D camera, and the outrageously expensive P2 memory cards along with it.

While it's far cheaper than building your own 3D rig, the SRP of US$21,000 means we're not likely to see the next breakout indie film in 3D, but given the drop in price (and jump in video capabilities) between Canon's 5D Mark II and subsequent 7D, who knows what'll happen over the next couple of years.

The Twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder will be available in Q4 2010, and Panasonic plans to release a 3D Full HD LCD monitor for use in the field, and a digital mixer for live 3D broadcasting shortly after.
