The Mill BLACKBIRD


The Mill BLACKBIRD is a new fully adjustable car rig for creating CG cars for the advertising industry. The goal of the BLACKBIRD is to eliminate the need for specific physical cars on commercial sets, allowing creatives to shoot a real car and skin it later in the editing process. The BLACKBIRD can adjust its length by up to four feet and width by ten inches. The wheels can be replaced with whatever tire fits the actual car, and its electric engine can be programmed to behave like the engine in the actual car’s engine. The Mill has created The Mill BLACKBIRD, the first fully adjustable car rig that creates photoreal CG cars – it’s a car rig that can be shot at any time, in any location, without the need to rely on a physical car. Created in collaboration with JemFX, Performance Filmworks and Keslow, Mill Blackbird inspires and expands creative opportunities, offering a truly flexible production tool without sacrificing any quality or direction.

A Bug in Chrome Makes It Easy to Pirate Movies


For years Hollywood has waged a war on piracy, using digital rights management technologies to fight bootleggers who illegally copy movies and distribute them. For just as long, hackers have found ways to bypass these protections. Now two security researchers have found a new way, using a vulnerability in the system Google uses to stream media through its Chrome browser. They say people could exploit the flaw to save illegal copies of movies they stream on Chrome using sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Check out my discovery of a custom made card skimmer that perfectly matches up to this ATM machine!
