Tattoos

ah, tattoos, ink, tribal markings.
i my self have 11 now and am always trying to save up for more. but what is their appeal? this is the question that my group aim to answer in our short documentary on tattoos. Megan, Fiona, Ciaren and I aim to interview a few tattooed people and find out about their tattoos, why they got them, the history of it.
ive been doing a bit of research and brushing up on the history of tattooing and have come across the following resources.
6 Pages of information from the smithsonianmag.com website.

Vanishing Tattoo
Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
also i found the documentary 'The Vanishing Tattoo' on youtube.

EXPO!?!

we went to the BVE expo last week and i had a good look around. i felt kind of like a kid in a toy store, anything that remotely interested me i looked at or asked questions about if i could get a word with one of the stand minders.
i got the most photos of the 3d HD camera rig company, and having tried making a rig before to film in 3d it didnt work found it quite interesting.

now this company originally only did 3d film and graphics work but after being plagued by customers about where they could buy a rig for filming in 3d decided to start producing their own. im not too sure where 3d
stands in the future of broadcast really though. i mean who owns a 3d tv at the moment and how many are they?
the popularity of 3d films may be making a come back in a small way but to translate that kind of scale into your average consumers home with their 37"(nowadays maybe a bit more) TV will take a bit more advancement in the technology from what i can gather.
