![]() ![]() I find it simple and straightforward, proving a fair amount of features for the stuff I need. I would use this over other GCal calendar applications such as Woven, and this is superior to Apple's built-in caledar if you're a Google Calendar user.I use NetNewsWire as my default RSS feeds reader on my Macbook. Would be nicer if the dark theme took a more modern and 'flat' approach, but is still a fine theme. RAM is usage heavy compared to other native applications (roughly as much as a Chrome plugin), but still reasonable.ĭark mode is good but there's too much 'glow' at times and the text for scheduled events do not have enough of a contrast with background colors. Making new events is easy it is just like the web version of Google calendar. I have had no issues with links and creating new events. It works exactly like Google calendar online and also has nice native macOS keyboard shortcut features. Earlier it was not perfect and did have some glitches, but the new update is amazing and is exactly what any heavy-duty Google calednar user would want. I have been using this application for years and have no idea why it has so many negative reviews. Other small improvements, and small bugs fixed. There was some Dark Theme glitches which have been fixed. New application menu item to easily import/export ics.

![]() What is Dragonframe?ĭragonframe is a digital image capture software for stop motion animation. If you are in awe of the behind the scenes footage, and wondering how to get started with this type of stop motion animation, read on. Guillermo del Toro and Frank Passingham discuss lighting in this behind the scenes segment. Modern approaches require shooting multiple passes and relying on VFX to assemble this layered-lighting composition together. Complex lighting for scenes with multiple sources of light such as nighttime scenes with flashlights under moonlight, or scenes inside rooms with light coming from doors and windows, are impossible to achieve with traditional 35mm film. Capturing this in live-action is physically impossible. In Pinocchio there are scenes where characters swim above water in the sun, and into depths beyond the reach of sunlight. These are common visual effects in film (VFX), and Passingham’s software of choice was Dragonframe. It is our good fortune that Passingham once again recognised a seismic technological opportunity to enhance animation and embraced stop motion animation software for motion control and layering multiple exposures. Kathy Michelle Chacón interviewed Passingham to discuss how light and colour played a role in conveying big emotions to audiences. In this 22nd film adaptation of Pinocchio, Guillermo del Toro tackles big questions, and the qualities of the animation and storytelling deliver a melancholic punch that bruises beyond the film’s end. Cricket, “Pinocchio” narratorĪ still from Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio (Image via Instagram/pinocchiomovie) “It’s a story you may think you know, but you don’t.” – Sebastian J. Perhaps that’s why he worked with Passingham to invent new animation techniques for “Pinocchio”, which is his most recent film. Director Guillermo del Toro regards Passingham as one of the best and most influential cinematographers in animation cinema history. He convinced Nick Park, the creator of “Wallace & Gromit”, to use the digital medium. Frank Passingham, inventor of several stop motion techniques, was an early advocate for digital camera technology. Digital cameras marked a milestone in the evolution of stop motion animation, particularly as sensors became resistant to overheating during continuous live view. ![]() The preferred technology for stop motion animation in its infancy was 35mm film. What is the technology behind stop motion animation? You can achieve incredible results with a smartphone, or elevate your creativity with professional gear. In this blog post I will walk you through installing software that is used by major animation studios today. ![]() Thanks to open source, the software and hardware to create sophisticated stop motion animated films is more accessible than ever before. Today you can make stop motion films on any budget Advancements in digital cinema have trickled back into stop motion animation, in particular. Digital cinema gained significant momentum in the early 90s, with well-funded endeavours from studios like Pixar and Disney. In 1993 “The Nightmare Before Christmas” was made by 120 workers, and was composed of 109,440 frames and 20 sound stages. ![]() The “Dynamation” technique introduced new ways to combine live actors with stop motion modelsĪfter the birth of the Internet, animated movies exploded in scale and popularity and so did the technologies behind them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Laser is a beam of light which destroys tanks from EXTREMELY LONG RANGE. The second weapon I will tell you about is laser. Also, with guided missile you CAN’T SHOOT SOMEONE FROM CLOSE RANGE! When you RIGHT click anywhere on the screen and press fire(left click) it will follow the tank you’re shooting at, until it hits it target, the range runs out or it hits an object in the way (including team mates). ![]() Guided missile enables you to lock onto another tank as long as there are NO other tanks in the way, or you will lock on to another tank will maybe enven kill a teammate (slang version is tk, for someone who kills their team mate. So, the first weapon is guided missile or when you’re playing the game online -gm as slang. But these are the BEST weapons, also I will tell you about SUPER BULLET sb (you can shoot through walls with). There are also lots of other weapons which I haven’t told you about. There are different types of weapons (GUIDED MISSILE gm-LASER laser-STEALTH st-CLOAKING cl-AGILITY agility-SHOCK WAVE sw- and last, but certainly not least-MACHINE GUN mg. This action will kill the WHOLE of the other team’s members. The flag BELONGING to another team can be brought onto your own pad, which captures another team’s flag. Each team has a ‘pad’ (there own colour). There is also a flag BELONGING to each team. But with out a flag you still ALWAYS have a normal gun turret. Every tank can pick up any FLAG, which will give them a weapon. Now, in capture the flag, there can be any number of teams. There are lots of other settings eg: deathmatch and more! There are 4 colours of tanks-red, green, purple and blue-which battle each other. It is a tank game which involves ‘capturing a flag’. Bzflag is in my opinion the best COMPUTER game in the world, and arguably the best game EVER! Firstly, I will tell you all what it is about. ![]() ![]() Lerner’s idea that women exist only to frustrate men carries over into an Eliza who, at the end of the film, is still expected to fetch Higgins’s slippers. Shaw’s acknowledgement of the equality of men and women is manifested in Eliza’s development into Higgins’s equal as he says, “you and I and Pickering will be three old bachelors together instead of only two men and a silly girl” (Shaw, p. In the song “I’m Just an Ordinary Man,” marriage is likened to the Spanish Inquisition and a noose around a man’s neck, women are accused of jabbering and chattering too much, of invading a man’s privacy and taking over his home, and Higgins claims that when a man wants to talk of Keats and Milton “she only wants to talk about love” (metrolyrics). In the film Lerner’s lyrics, even though they are witty and highly polished, justify the professor’s celibacy by drawing on the kind of sexual stereotypes that would have revolted Shaw. One wants to go north and the other south and the result is that both have to go east, though they both hate the east wind” (Shaw, p. When you let them into your life, you find that the woman is driving at one thing and you’re driving at another.” Shaw’s Higgins supposes that “the woman wants to live her own life and the man wants to live his and each tries to drag the other on to the wrong track. ![]() He explains himself in the play by telling Colonel Pickering, also a bachelor and a scientist, that “women upset everything. In the film and in the play, at least in the beginning, his interest in Eliza is scientific in nature, not romantic. Higgins is also a confirmed bachelor who has a low opinion of women but that is mostly because he admires his mother so much. With the intercession of Venus the statue comes alive, after which the sculptor and his creation marry and have a son, Paphos. The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea tells the story of a Cypriot sculptor who loses interest in women when he witnesses the behavior of local prostitutes, but then falls in love with the statue he carves out of ivory. It will be argued here that the film makers fundamentally misunderstood Eliza’s development after Higgins taught her to be a lady or, to put it another way, the kind of woman Pygmalion’s Galatea, when given life, actually becomes. Nigel Alexander goes so far as to say that “neither the directors of the film nor the author of the musical version understood Shaw’s Pygmalion” (Shaw, p. There are, however, major differences between Shaw’s play and George Cukor’s musical which become more evident when the play and film are compared. Much of the film’s screenplay stays close to the original, and the characterizations are so similar that the film may at first seem a faithful adaptation of the play. ![]() Eliza Doolittle keeps turning into Audrey Hepburn, Henry Higgins into Rex Harrison, and Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loew’s score plays in the background. My Fair Lady is such a classic musical that it is difficult to escape its influence when reading George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion today. ![]() ![]() is a teacher from Houston who also does stand-up shows for teachers.

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown praised the court’s ruling, saying the digital ad tax provides critical funding for a sweeping education reform law known as the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future.
