2011 Chevrolet Volt charges toward production

Alt
Three years ago this December we first walked into a Manhattan meeting room for a backdrop meeting on a new concept being developed by General Motors for the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. Earlier that year, the release of a documentary called Who Killed the Electric Car made the then largest automaker in the world the subject of some well deserved criticism for its handling of the end of the EV1 program. The movie and announcement of the all-electric Tesla Roadster lit a fire under GM to get back into the plug-in electric vehicle game.

What we saw that day in NYC was a description of new power train architecture then dubbed E-Flex. GM folk on hand that day built-in vehicle line executive Tony Posawatz and former VP for environmental affairs Beth Lowery. They explained that among the biggest training learned from the EV1 program were that range anxiety and lack of practicality would make a car like EV1 nearly impossible to sell in the mass market. The engineers went back to the drawing board to address those issues and came up with the extended range electric vehicle, or ER-EV. The Volt concept was approved for production mere months after it was revealed at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. At this week's LA Auto Show, GM is publicly showing the production intent version of the Volt. Before that, however, we were among the first to drive a Volt with its range extender running. Read all about it after the jump.
Alt
We've had two previous in-motion experiences with the Volt. Last April we had the opportunity to drive one of the powertrain mules, which put the renamed Voltec powertrain into the body shell of the Cruze that shares its platform with the Volt. In August we got to ride (not drive) in one of the pre-production Volt integration vehicle engineering release prototypes (IVERs) with now former global chief engineer Frank Weber.
Alt
We trekked out to Dodger Stadium on Sunday afternoon before this week's press days for the LA Auto Show for our session with the actual preproduction Volt. Chevrolet set up a driving loop in one of the parking lots where we got to try out a variety of different maneuvers with the car. This time we would get to actually drive the pre-production car from pure battery power to its charge sustaining mode.

The car that GM made available was one of the 80 IVER pre-production prototypes built this past summer. Unlike the other IVERs, this one was cleaned up and finished for auto show display and media drives. Most inner surfaces of these IVERs don't have the proper graining that will be on production cars or the production light clusters, but GM pulled together enough prototype parts to make them look essentially complete. In addition, unlike most of the IVERs that were finished off in primer grey, this car was painted in the same silver-green color that was the subject of GM's color contest. The winner of the contest will be announced on Tuesday here in LA.
Alt
Like many modern cars, the Volt doesn't uses a fob instead of a key with a start/stop button on the left side of the center stack next to the shift lever. Pressing the button produces a green glow from within. We shifted into Drive and rolled out silently with the Volt running purely on battery power as we circled the loop trying to run down the battery so we could experience the charge sustaining mode.

The Future Moving Image Makers - Videojournalism inside tips from Viewmagazine.tv



A videojournalist from the 1990s

If you're familiar with this blog and  viewmag, then you'll know that since 2005 it's been sharing ideas on videojournalism.

In the last couple of months I have been writing a taxonomy about non-fiction making and wanted to share one theme with you, which gives you a flavour of the text.

From the many memos and contemporary documents I have been examining I

new BBC building off Oxford Street



Sociologists would have us believe we're in the age of individualism, self identity, and the rise of bijou, in the smaller cottage networks.

One of those, the BBC is definitely not, the other is questionable, while the last spells the project's conclusion.

We've had the super structures, super films in Inception rallying against the Indie, the rise of the

The University of Quiddity - Viewmagazine's university







You can't remember can you?



And when you do, you want to apply everything you've remembered.



How to be the best,  how to create the most arresting video, how to win friends. It's stupefying that there exist no part in the brain, neuroscientists could have named "how to".



Of course there isn't because cognitive thinking is more peripatetic.

It roams searching for a place to land

Egypt's social and media contract future



David interviewing the former director of Chatham House




Under Chatham House rules I am unable to tell you about the speakers who attended this high level talk on UN development report in Egypt, or their affiliations.

As Egypt stands primed for a new leader, attention is weighted towards kick starting the economy.

A couple of interesting stats emerged from the UN report whose key indecis

Its name has become synonymous with excellence, otherwise known as ideas worth spreading, but TED in spite of all things great needed a reboot.

Its founder Chris Anderson's new idea worth spreading was the TED brand itself. It needed to go local, get to the community, find new constituents.

To the things they are - Journalism. How we shouldn't teach





WATCH THE FILM-REEL ON VIEWMAGAZINE.TV

The question was asked and produced the cacophony of predictable responses. "To show what's happening", "to root out corruption", "to inform us".

Asking what the purpose of news is, is the equivalent of tatooing your forehead with "imbecile". It's puzzling and denigrating to you and the great doyens of the profession.

As a former broadcaster, who

Video is not a succession of photographic images - just say no!



In 1994 a Vj applying for a job, who would later become one of the best submitted his first shoot with his camera turned vertically. So what did the hiring team do?

The stuck the camera in the television, firstly all of them clocked their heads sideways. Then someone thought, hey..... and turned the TV on its side.

Just as well as the Vjs career was born. Anyway... this video is more funnier

How the world of film is questioning issues within digital media



Ridley Scott's much expected mega-cinematic release confirms if we did not know already our pursuance of that horizon called self and identity. A journey that repositions that perennial question, "who we are" and "what are we doing?".

Hollywood has often been a metronome, as well as echo of the social realm for how we feel in society. Film Noir, in the 1950s was the legacy of war and the fear

Why rhetoric doesn't necessarily work in the Internet generation and we need a new model





The UK government, an alliance between the diminishing third man of politics ( the lib-dems) and the Tories, has in the last week performed 33 u-turns on policies it brought in during its last budget. 

This includes lifting a tax on warm pies. Yes, you could not make this up.

Great film making and a brief visual history of UK videojournalism





Two young children play in the background, we never see their faces. Their father needs to get in touch with them. Their mother is set to commit suicide. 

Through a series of flashbacks within flashbacks, the father finds redemption.

Guess the film? But before you say Inception, think again.

The film is the Phantom Carriage by Swedish film maker and director Victor Sjostrom. It was made in

The Future of Videojournalism

On the video on viewmagazine.tv looking at the future of videojournalism, I show how videojournalism was around in 1994 and how prior that creative film making emerged from such discursive programmes as BBC reportage.

The video contains some rare footage from 1994 of the 30 videojournalists chosen from 3000 candidates and that the explicit meaning of videojournalism has usurped its more implicit

This one here is a one-of-a-kind Ferrari SP12 EC based on the 512 BB and is estimated to cost $4.7 MILLION DOLLARS! Specifically made for and in collaboration with music legend Eric Clapton.

WOODY PIC

Now you know this woman is way too beautiful for nerdy Woody Allen and that's probably why he dates 13 year olds but nonetheless this photo is perfect for those reasons alone and her breasts (or breast) aren't half bad either!

The humble football and the future of news media




How wondrous is this round thing I thought, as I pondered what I would say to a class of fifteen year olds about the media.

The humble ball fitted the answer.



We can trace this round thing, documented as football, back to the ancient Greeks, though its conceivable Neanderthals kicked around a round object.

But at some point the modern game emerged. It was rowdy, played by peasants and

Asymmetric social media trumps social?











Out with Nato forces in Norwegian seas, various teams are practising how to thwart one of the biggest threats to its forces - an asymmetric attack by a small craft, such as the one above.

An elite super force at the mercy of those who don't play by the rules, asymmetric is a term that also has a great deal of currency in post-media.

Simply put it's the one sided relationship between

BILL MURRAY(IN MADRAS) & WES ANDERSON @ CANNES




Bill Murray is certainly getting into character even after shooting his latest film directed by one of my favorite directors/writers Wes Anderson in this outrageous Madras look. I like the madras pants look with the simpler details along with it like in pic 2 of him in the new 'Moonrise Kingdom' with a white oxford button-up. Joshua Kissi from Street Etiquette gets it right as well pictured above but a little too tight for me nonetheless still got the combination right. Brooks Brothers has a pair for sale for $128 now online.
