Adobe TV

This may be a little off-topic, but since you are also doing video productions and whatnot this might be interesting. Steve Homes shows how to create a 3D scene from a (flat) photoshop file in after effects. Also in the same scene, instead of using the particle system he uses dots (from a font) to create the effect of fireflies flying around. I think this is very cool, especially the 3d scene and the light/shadows. There are also other videos on the site that show new creative techniques. Enjoy.

Balance of the Planet

For the last few days I've been reading some articles about serious games and I came across a game called "Balance of the Planet". It reminded me of the initial Clima Futura idea. Check out the guy who made the game back in the early 90's:



Also a remake of the game is being developed. I tried this remake and it's actually quite boring, but all the formulas being used might be interesting.

More fun with physics by drawing:

Physical Exercise?

Switching to English, I'll really try to stop posting this much, at least for now. Two nice examples of a fun, easy-to-use and possibly educational (rather simple) way of introducing physics and related solutions to problems:
