Typography defines the way people experience your brand: Your customers are seeing your brand’s messages on TV, in online ads, and in retail stores and read about you online and in the press. That’s why it is important to choose typography wisely AND understand why you’re using it. Monospaced fonts have a technological feel while blackletter while script fonts are more personal. Typography has a diverse set of connotations and presents What your brand stands for clean, modern, and simple sans-serif fonts reverberate with the audience differently than old-fashioned serifs. ![]() Typography gives the brand a meaning: Typefaces and fonts convey the values and the tone of your brand just like your colors do.

Camera film overlay12/30/2023 Now that you're prepared to add film overlays to your project, explore our collection of professional Film Grains up to 6K Resolution you can download today.Įach film grain product is created with studio-grade equipment and masterfully scanned, not digitally created to make the best emulsion film grain packs on the market. Selecting the right video effects and look for your video or film can be one of the most important creative choices you'll make. In the example above, we have used our own Pre-keyed Film Matte, included with each of our Film Grain Packs, a simple drag and drop solution which does not require any masking and already removes the image from the sprocket hole. You'll want to mask out the sprocket hole specifically to remove the image beneath ( which can be a tedious and specific process). On real film, a sprocket hole is a cut out of the celluloid, there will no exposure or image in a sprocket hole - it will be a black void (or white light dependent on the film scanner). The most frequent mistake noticed with film overlays is adding a transparent sprocket hole over your footage. Rule #3 - Sprocket Holes with Film Overlays (Adobe has an article explaining the blending modes in Premiere Pro, if you're interested in learning more.) Some blending modes will lose their charm and take away from the texture - it's important to know which blending mode preserves your grain and image. 'Linear Light' is a blend of 'Linear Dodge' and 'Linear Burn' which for our Overlays works well to showcase the grain while keeping the image intact. Overlay text on video: Get your message across. Traditionally, the smaller the film stock, the larger the film grain on a blown up (up-resed) or projected image. It also has a lot more customization features than Windows Movie Maker. The optical effect of which the amount of film grain present is dependent on the film stock. It's quick and easy to add film grain, but there are 3 Simple Rules to keep in mind when emulating film with overlays.įilm Grain is the random texture of processed photographic celluloid made of small silver particles or dye clouds. With the advancement of digital cameras over the years with larger sensors, better depth of field and crisp high-resolution images - some video editors are using film grain overlays in post-production to add a textured appearance and dynamic depth to their footage. To be specific, the film look of grainy texture is still today a subtle callback to the days of celluloid film in cinema. Hailing from Ecuador, Lomographer showcases his photos and music selections for this 8th edition of Synesthesia.Filmmaking has changed a lot over the years, from new tech to post-production workflows - but one element of filmmaking that is still sought after today is - Film Grain.

For windows instal HoudahSpot12/30/2023 I understand the paradigm of leaving originals untouched when it comes to photos, but it sure would be nice if photo applications recognized mavericks tags in the same way they do IPTC or exif metadata. Lightroom does this even more easily, as does GraphicConverter. Applying a “keyword” in iPhoto isn’t the same as tagging that jpeg with the same word in Aperture at least you can apply a keyword and write it to the file manually. I just wish that the image world would be on board since as Tom noted “keyword” and “tag” can be applied generically it’s confusing. MailTags is getting there (I’ve been using a beta, and it basically works, although MAIL certainly has issues). And all the Ironic Software stuff runs great with the new Mav Tags, as does HoudahSpot. ![]() I’ve been having problems with Punakea even running. The caseapps Tags application still doesn’t, but TagIt does. I have no problem with Mavericks tags in DevonThink now.Īnd Default Folder X was just updated to do Mavericks tags. I don’t know what Apple has had to say about copying files to other OSes and ow tags will or will not follow. For a search from the Finder or HoudahSpot or Leap to work, that NAS drive has to be indexed with spotlight. When you set a tag on a file, it resides in the ‘extended attributes’ on that file. OpenMeta started it, but it will take Adobe a while (perhaps never), while timelines for smaller companies will be faster. Just refer to them as tags.Įvernote and DevonThink and Adobe (bridge) use their own internal tagging format (as far as I know), but I think when Apple has stated that they will use tagging in Mavericks that things will get better aligned. I think its not all that useful to differentiate between tag formats used on older OSes, like 10.8. Tags are tags applied by products like Leap, HoudahSpot, 10.9 Finder, etc. They are stored under a different key in the Spotlight database from tags, and need a different search to find them. The Finder cannot change these tags – they are fixed. Keywords are ‘built in tags’ – in other words a PDF can come from its source with tags embedded in the document. However, HoudahSpot can migrate OpenMeta to Mavericks tags to mail messages as well (see above). Mavericks tags cannot be assigned to email from within Apple Mail. MailTags assign OpenMeta, not Mavericks tags to email messages. Leap search handles both OM and Mavericks tags. Earlier versions of Leap tagged with OpenMeta – so if you used these for tagging you may want to merge them using HoudahSpot or another tool. Leap (version 3.x) allows to assign Tags which are both OM and Mavericks. Neither did assigning tags in DevonThink result in these tags being available in Finder (although perhaps Finder just does not see them yet – see above). The reverse process did not work for me: exporting documents from DevonThink did not export tags (although one could add tags as in any Save dialogue in OS X – but what’s the point then?). Indeed, I was able to tag a file in OS X and then import it into DevonThink with preserving that tag. DevonThinkĭevondThink 2.6 and higher advertise that it both imports Mavericks tags and exports with such tags.

Who wrote wild mountain thyme12/30/2023 ![]() its the story about the farmgirl that wants a husband, and the eextremely shy neighbour farmboy who really wants a wife, but thinks he is a honeybee, and asks the donkey if it wants to marry him, because he wont inherit the farm from his dad if he aint getting married. In a while the shamrock hits hard and out comes a green emerald looking romantic irish movie, that will, if you have some grace of god and some common sense, will make you laugh and cry either you will or not. Absolutely gorgeous, totally memorable viewing all round. Dornan is pretty awesome here, fleshing out a shy, reserved, scared male without a shred if vanity and machismo. Both are far greater actors than that rubbish allowed them to be. The stupidity of that material totally undersold both Dornan and Dakota Johnson. ![]() I only ever saw the first if the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, more out of curiosity than anything. The acting is superb all round, with Emily Blunt and Christopher Walken absolutely smouldering and scintillating in turns. All through the movie the rain soaked and overcast and lush green Irish landscape matches the troubled emotions of the characters, and when these emotions are resolved the sun shines through the wet and glistening landscape in a note of brightness and happiness. Doesn't that count? The cinematography is gorgeous. ![]() Who cares? It's a beautiful human story told brilliantly on the screen. Why are critics not saying anything about these narrative and dramatic complexities? Are these complexities beyond their cliched critical imaginations? And more blather about that old hoary chestnut "genre": is it a rom com? Is it a comedy? LOL Sheesh! Such nitpicking over cinematic scraps and not much said about the brilliant acting all round, the quirky original script, the gorgeous love story at the centre of it, the motifs of weather (remember the Bronte sisters and their use of weather as a setting for human emotions and circumstances?) and childhood dreams, and Rosemary flying from Ireland to New York for a single day just to watch her Swan Lake ballet dream. So much critical blather spent on the dodgy Irish accents put on by everybody here except Jamie Dornan who's Irish, but even he was found to be from the wrong part of Ireland. Cos that's what kind of a movie this is, one you feel as you watch. This movie is beyond their capacity to feel it. At home on DVD from our public library.įorget the emotionally sclerotic critics. My wife and I found the movie to be better and more entertaining than its IMDb rating might suggest. The movie is filled with Irish humor and the characters are all interesting. Now that the old parents of each of them are expiring they need to figure out what to do with the farms, and whether their lifelong friendship might turn into a marriage. But Rosemary is very persistent and headstrong. We learn that Rosemary has had a lifelong desire to be with Anthony but he has a series interpersonal issue, he has a low self-esteem and seems almost incapable of overcoming it. As we eventually see them as adults, they are played by Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan. It is a story about Rosemary and Anthony, we see them first as children of two different families living and working on adjacent farms. It is set and filmed in rural Ireland and the scenery is beautiful. There is an old Irish song "Will Ye Go Lassie Go" and within the lyrics is the phrase "The wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather." That is the derivation of the title of the movie. Once you watch the movie, this will all make perfect sense to you I couldn't make sense of it myself throughout the movie, until the last scenes. Their parents who tried everything to make the couple realize their destiny needed fulfilling, succeeded, but it was beyond their grave they did. an ultimatum by the Irish lass who at one point considered having her eggs frozen. ![]() "What the heck are they waiting for?" The good news is they eventually find what it was they needed. The whole families, friends and neighbours all wonder. A terrible waste of time in anyone's life, that they haven't. A young boy and girl grow up neighbours, friends and more, and the only thing they aren't is lovers. It wouldn't matter to the characters to be sure, and it certainly doesn't matter to me. I don't know what pejorative insensitive word they'd use, but it doesn't matter. Today's social media generation would dismiss the movie as.

Rectangular prism nets12/29/2023 ![]() They are all objects that we can hold, such as a pencil, phone, table, boxes, ball, etc. ( 2 ) Make sure that all the sides fit together properly by picturing how the net will be folded to create the solid.Īs a recall, three-dimensional (3D) shapes take up space. ( 1 ) Make sure that both the solid and the net have the same number of faces and that the solid’s faces correspond to the same faces in the net in terms of shape. These are the conditions to be met if a net forms a solid or a three-dimensional shape: A geometric net pattern is produced when the surface of a three-dimensional figure is spread out flat, and each face is visible. What are Geometric Nets? DefinitionĪ geometric net refers to a two-dimensional shape that can be modified to create a solid or a three-dimensional shape. In this article, we will define geometric nets, learn various net shapes, determine whether a net constitutes a solid, and calculate the surface area and volume of a shape from the perspective of its geometric net. The vital spatial skills you acquire from a foundational understanding of form nets can thus develop further into other more challenging design applications. ![]() Engineers and developers use powerful and advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software to assist in their work. Understanding how a three-dimensional shape is constructed from two-dimensional parts is important for every aspect of three-dimensional design, not just when building boxes. This is just an immediate example of the use of geometric nets, but it offers other important applications. Let us say, for instance, a flat corrugated paper box will be in its three-dimensional shape upon folding up its 2D net. These solid shapes’ ability to be represented in two dimensions by a shaped net is useful, especially in getting its surface area. Three-dimensional (3D) objects have several flat surfaces (faces) made of polygons that are connected by edges and corners (vertices).

Moore said there would be "some natural sparks" between Wilson and Ross due to the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016), with producer Kevin Feige adding that their dynamic is changed now that they are Captain America and president, respectively. Harrison Ford as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross:.Marvel Studios responded in a statement, saying the film was taking "a new approach" to Sabra, adding that characters in the MCU "are always freshly imagined for the screen and today's audience". Yousef Munayyer, a Palestinian-American writer and analyst, said the comics did not suggest "anything positive" about her film appearance, since turning Israeli spies into heroes "is insensitive and disgraceful". Additionally, the character's name added to the criticism, since it means different things to Israeli Jews and Palestinians. The announcement of Sabra as part of the film was criticized, believing that her appearance would lead to negative stereotypical portrayals against Palestinians and Arabs in the comics, she is a member of the Mossad, and many of the Arab characters she interacts with are portrayed as misogynistic, antisemitic and violent. ![]() The inclusion of Sterns in the film was one of the reasons Onah was interested in directing the film, noting that having someone who operates from intellect would be a good adversary to Wilson and put him "through the wringer".

Mackie said the Tupac Shakur song " Hit 'Em Up" (1996) represented his portrayal of Wilson for the film. Producer Nate Moore compared Wilson's Captain America to Rocky Balboa from the Rocky film series as an "underdog in any situation" by not having the attributes of Steve Rogers, and said Wilson would be put "through the wringer" and have to earn the mantle of Captain America after claiming it without support Mackie called Wilson "more of a humane" Captain America, opposed to one of "judgment", since he has "a very different understanding of what it is to be a good guy, or be a bad guy".

Instagram logo pop art12/29/2023 ![]() Richard Hamilton Neo-dada and Pop Art in the United States ‘Popular, transient, expendable, low cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, and Big Business.’ In 1957 Hamilton wrote a letter to Alison and Peter Smithson outlining Pop’s characteristics as: Created for the group exhibition This is Tomorrow in 1956 at Whitechapel Gallery in London, the work takes a satirical approach to the new, superficial ‘American way of life’. In 1956 Hamilton attracted international attention with his collage, Just What is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing, 1956. His collages from the 1940s and 1950s are now often referred to as ‘proto-pop’ and his innovative lecture ‘Bunk’ at the Institute for Contemporary Arts in 1952 followed similar ideas. Paolozzi also made use of the word in a collage titled I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything, 1947. ![]() It is thought there are several origins for the term ‘pop’, as written about by Alloway, Smithson and Hamilton. Members included Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, Lawrence Alloway, and Alison and Peter Smithson. The Independent Group and the emergence of Pop Art in Britainįrom the early 1950s, a group of artists and writers called the ‘Independent Group’ would meet in London’s Institute for Contemporary Art to discuss the growing culture of movies, advertising and consumerism emigrating from the United States. Many Pop artists, particularly in the United States, reacted against the earlier, introspective language of Abstract Expressionism, aiming for mass appeal by blending elements of popular culture, through collage and printmaking, with traditional painting techniques. Following a period of post-war austerity, the movement focussed on the glamour of commercial design and media culture, speaking of optimism and possibility. It is so called because artists explored imagery from popular culture. Pop Art emerged in the decade or so following the Second World War, primarily in Britain and the United States. |
