New Hacks Available at District13.co.in

As if today wasn't filled with enough Mockingjay goodness already, there's a new hack on the mobile District 13 site AND some new stuff on the desktop version: district13.co.in

Head to the desktop site and underneath "The Mockingjay Lives" you'll see the following copy:

We are the seekers of truth. We believe in the Mockingjay. Our districts burn, but we withstand the flames. And we will fight even after our hearts stop beating. The Capitol will feel our fury. And soon it will feel yours. 

Click it on any green square marked "CRESSDIA.DTA" and it opens Cressida's confidential file that includes "new intel."

You'll also be able to click on other green squares marked "c_concerns VDO." Click it for a short gif from the film. Looks like District 7 and they are NOT having a good day. Bad peacekeepers!

If you click "Take Down The Capitol,"you can complete Hack 2 on your mobile device at m.district13.co.in, and you'll uncover the REAL Capitol Concerns of the citizens of Panem.

We had a hard time with this one - we got several error messages and then had a tough time actually completing the mobile hack on one of our phones. Be sure to open TheCapitol.PN after you have the site pulled up on your mobile device. Let us know how it works out for you!

The Capitol.PN Relaunches Capitol TV With New Content

Capitol TV was relaunched on TheCapitol.PN with a revamped look and a ton of new content today. Caesar Flickerman "interviews" The District Heroes, a "Mandatory Viewing" video about rolling blackouts in The Capitol, and a piece on digital make-up are all part of the redesigned portal. Unfortunately, most of you couldn't access the content this morning and we're hoping that all of the elements will be live and accessible sometime today.

Special thanks to QuarterQuell.org for the screenshot of the new Capitol TV. 

Meanwhile, check out some of the highlights from CapitolTV at TheCapitol.PN:

The Story Behind Katniss' Hunting Jacket From 'The Hunger Games' Costume Designer Judianna Makovsky

The Hunger Games Costume Designer Judianna Makovsky has some of her work on display at the Hollywood Costume Exhibition, opening October 2 at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, which puts 150 legendary costumes on display. Makovsky sat down with Fast Company to talk about some of her work. She talked about something every superfan of The Hunger Games has probably wondered at some point: Why does Katniss' hunting jacket - supposedly a hand-me-down from her father - actually fit her perfectly? I admit it, I've wondered! 

When we started designing Katniss’s hunting costume, we tried to follow the description in the book exactly. The book describes her jacket as her father’s old hunting jacket. We drew inspiration from American mining work clothes, and also looked at leather jackets from the ‘30s through the ‘50s. But the first jacket we made, from leather, really didn’t look good. Because it was meant to be her father’s, it was oversized, and way too big and bulky. It impeded her from shooting the arrow. So finally, after testing it out, I said, “I think we should make a jacket that actually fits her.” I knew superfans might be disappointed, but in a filmic, realistic sense, the oversized jacket just didn’t work.
