Salad Days: The Birth of Punk in the Nation's Capital

A great trailer for Scott Crawford's documentary, Salad Days. I grew up during the same time in Orange County, California where a very similar scene was taking place against a starkly contrasting backdrop. The OC and DC worlds often collided at shows creating some of the most formative memories of my youth. I can not wait to see this film. It looks great.

The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead

Official trailer for the film THE DAMNED: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead, the authorized documentary of the punk pioneers. Directed/produced by Wes Orshoski, the film features all four original members of the Damned (Captain Sensible, Dave Vanian, Brian James and Rat Scabies), plus appearances by Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jones, Steve Diggle, actor/comedian Fred Armisen, Nick Mason, Duff McKagan, Lemmy Kilmister , Keith Morris, Dexter Holland and many more. Shot around the world over the past four years, the film makes its debut at SXSW in March 2015. The third prong in the holy trinity of UK punk, with the Sex Pistols and the Clash, The Damned were the first U.K. punks to release a single ("New Rose") and album ("Damned Damned Damned"), and the first to tour the U.S. Having logged hits in the punk, new wave and goth eras, they are one of the only surviving bands from punk’s first wave.

Mapping Color Alpha 1.0

The Mapping Color team has been hard at work for the last several months and are nearing completion of the first Alpha version of the application. Currently the system can analyze images for approximate or precise color location data, input data for mapping, output data results for use in user pipelines, display McAdam's limits, locate pigments, display theoretical color spaces and work within set tolerances for quality control applications. 

We're hoping to have real-time video analysis working within the next few months. There may be a limited opportunity for beta testing in the Spring of 2015. If interested, contact the team via email. Please include a detailed description of your current research/commercial work and how you'd like to use our app.
