Things come to a head when Miranda attempts to buy Steve a suit to wear to an event at her law firm.

Later, in season 2, Miranda runs from Steve when she sees him on the street, but he goes to her house to confront her.
They start hanging out as friends but eventually end up getting back together, and Steve moves into Miranda's apartment. Steve is keen to move things forward in their relationship by having a baby, but Miranda cites her career as a barrier to this as she is on partner track at her law firm.

A book tour lands her in San Francisco, where she reunites briefly with Big. In New York, she meets Jack Berger, a fellow author with whom she feels sparks, but who is attached.

However, his struggles as an author and her success with her upcoming book cause too much conflict between them, and they break up. Big returns to New York for angioplasty , and Carrie realizes she still has feelings for him; she also realizes he still cannot fully commit. After he returns to Napa, she meets Aleksandr, a famous Russian artist.
Aleksandr seems to be attentive to her in a way that Big never was, and he asks her to come to Paris with him. She does, briefly, but realizes how inattentive he is when working, and she breaks it off with him just as Big arrives in Paris, looking for her, ready to finally commit to her being "the one". Charlotte decides that life with Harry, who accepts her fertility issues, would be worth converting to Judaism.
After this process, she presses Harry to "set the date" in an insulting way and he breaks it off with her. However, they run into each other at a mixer and, after her tearful apology, rekindle their relationship and eventually marry. After fertility treatments fail, they decide to adopt, and eventually learn they have been approved to adopt a child from China.

Despite trying to keep their relationship as casual as her others, she develops true feelings for him. Smith supports her after she is diagnosed with breast cancer, shaving his own head in sympathy after catching her shaving her head when chemotherapy makes her hair fall out.
He also insists on waiting for her when her treatment diminishes her sex drive.

The season and the series concludes with the four girlfriends reunited in New York City, and with Carrie receiving a phone call from Big which finally reveals his first name, John , telling her that his Napa house is up for sale and he is headed back to New York.
Carrie's final voiceover states: And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous. Sex and the City premiered on HBO , June 6, , and was one of the highest-rated sitcoms of the season. Over the course of its six seasons, Sex and the City was nominated for over 50 Emmy Awards , and won seven: The show has also been nominated for 24 Golden Globe Awards , and won eight.
A toast to the wonderful wardrobe from Sex and the City , which taught us that no flower is too big, no skirt too short, and no shoe too expensive. The New York Times in credited Sex and the City and its costume designer Patricia Field with "starting crazes for nameplate necklaces , Manolo Blahnik shoes, flower corsages and visible bra straps ".
Field described the show's influence as "like sitting at the bottom of an atom bomb". Criticism has been expressed about the influence the show has on adolescents and how the images displayed on the show affect the way women and young girls view themselves. Big it was a false alarm. In the episode "Coulda Woulda Shoulda" 4.
Miranda opted against the abortion and throughout season 5 and 6, we saw how Miranda dealt with raising a child as a single mother. There were also two episodes that dealt with sexually transmitted diseases. In the episode "Are we Sluts" 3. In "Running with Scissors" 3. The first clue is in the opening credits of the television show. Carrie is standing in a New York street in a ballet skirt, the sort that toddlers wear.
She is dressed, unmistakably, as a child. And, because she is sex columnist on a newspaper, a bus wearing a huge photo of her in a tiny dress trundles past. And there, before any dialogue hits your ears, you have the two woeful female archetypes that Sex and the City loves—woman as sex object and woman as child In this crisis, she cries and borrows the money for the deposit—what child would do anything else?
Another example that feminism is dead is the popularity of Sex and the City , the HBO show that features and something women sending out the unmistakable messages to females both younger and older that careers, money, looks and, ostensibly, intelligence are nothing compared to doing anything to get a man, including endlessly obsessing about the subject, engaging in loveless or even like-less sexual encounters.
In addition to obsessing about finding and keeping a man, the lead character on the show also routinely hides her true thoughts and feelings from said man. The show uses voiceovers to reveal Carrie's inner thought life, which is often in conflict with how she is expressing herself externally. As pop culture expert Ashli L.
Dykes points out, " Academic critics, however, disagree on whether Sex and the City was truly anti-feminist , feminist , or post-feminist. Some argue whatever label is applied to the show, it offered an important contribution "to ongoing dialogue"  and that because it "shows women in a world where they can be feminine, attractive, and feminist at the same time The show has received criticism for how it handles topics such as unexpected pregnancy, with Andrea Press stating that it contrasts with feminist progressive thought.
In one episode, Miranda is faced with an unexpected pregnancy, which causes Carrie to reflect on her own experience of pregnancy and abortion. Critics argue that Carrie's shame when sharing this story with her boyfriend serves to "undermine" the hard-fought freedoms that allowed her choice with "multiple critical perspectives toward the act" . Critics also note that, while the show is lauded as a champion of progressive feminism, its characters adhere to a strongly traditional view of female gender roles with a focus on appearance, glamour, and consumerism.
A central message of the show is that consumption is key, and we are fed constant marketing messages throughout the series. In retrospective analysis of the show, critics have generally reassessed Carrie Bradshaw as an unsympathetic protagonist, despite the show's portrayal of her as a positive figure.
In , Glamour magazine called Carrie "the worst" character on the show, saying that "her brattiness and self-absorption eclipsed her redeeming qualities and even her awesome shoes. Until then, Nussbaum writes, Sex and the City "was sharp, iconoclastic television. A article in The Guardian entitled "'That show was as white as it gets!
Sex and the City's problematic legacy", pointed to the lack of any non-white series regulars and "racial insensitivities" in the show like Carrie's "ghetto gold" reference or Samantha's wearing an afro wig to cover her baldness from chemotherapy. Carrie's calling bisexuality a "layover on the way to Gay Town", or Samantha using transphobic language to refer to the sex workers outside her apartment.
It's true that it was progressive for its time but that doesn't mean contemporary viewers should be dismissive of some of its more problematic content.

Samantha squeals with delight as the story segues to another character. Later in the episode, when Samantha reappears, she is slowly guiding Mr. Too Big between her legs.
After much hesitation, she seems to finally relax while drawing him in she thinks , only to be asked if he can start. A shocked and fearful Samantha pushes him away with her foot on his chest and begs off the encounter. At the end of this episode she unexpectedly yells "I miss James!
The girls are completely shocked by this, more so that she is in a relationship than the fact that it's with a woman. Charlotte proclaims, "She's not a lesbian, she probably just ran out of men! Samantha feels she is not a relationship person, and she initially only wants to be friends with Maria. Maria tells Samantha she cannot continue being just friends with her, and Samantha decides to take a chance and kisses Maria.
Samantha seems intrigued about learning the act of pleasing another woman, thus learning more about her own sexuality. Once the sex begins to dwindle and they spend a lot of time talking, Samantha begins to tire of their relationship. Maria also becomes upset when Samantha's sexual past catches up with them. Samantha ultimately misses men too much and, although Maria decides to try strap-on dildos , the two break up due to Maria's belief that Samantha has "intimacy issues".
Later in season four, Samantha meets and falls in love with hotel magnate Richard Wright James Remar. Though the two seemed well-matched, as they are both confident, highly successful, and like sleeping around and are uninterested in relationships, Samantha finds herself becoming increasingly attached to Richard.
The two eventually commit to a monogamous relationship. However, Samantha is heart broken when she catches him cheating on her. Despite giving Richard a second chance, she decides to end the relationship when she realizes she doesn't trust him. In the last season, she runs into Richard while out at a party with her new boyfriend, Smith, and Samantha and Richard go upstairs to have sex.
During intercourse, Samantha is seen looking uninterested and pained at being with Richard. Smith waits for her downstairs, knowing what she has done, and she breaks down in his arms, apologizing to him. She later returns to the restaurant alone, with the sole mission of taking him home; she succeeds, outlasting numerous other women who are there for the same purpose.
At first it seems he is to be just another notch on her bedpost, and she doesn't even know his name, referring to him as "Smith" to her Jones in elaborate sexual scenarios they enact. They have adventurous, "out-of-the-box" sex, which Samantha finds exciting and refreshing. She is turned off by learning anything personal about him, such as that he is a recovering alcoholic.
But she finds she is enjoying her time with him so much that she keeps seeing him. Seeing that he is broke and struggling, Samantha uses her PR skills to jump-start Jerry's modeling and acting career, and, once she learns his birth name Jerry Jerrod , changes it to Smith Jerrod. Samantha likes that he is not intimidated by her success in contrast to Carrie's ex-boyfriend, Jack Berger , and with her assistance, he quickly becomes a celebrity.
He first gains attention when he models naked in an Absolut Vodka ad in Times Square , in which he appears as the "Absolut Hunk". Reluctant at first to admit she cares about him, Samantha misses him while he is on location. Smith returns from his film and shows her true affection, which Samantha finds unsettling. As she explains to Carrie, he tried to do something purely perverse to her in public: She ends up deliberately humiliating him by hooking up with her ex-flame Richard at a party she went to with Smith.
After a quick bout of clearly meaningless sex with Richard, during which he talks about himself, Samantha seeks out Smith, who has been waiting for her to realize she made a mistake and come back. She tearfully confesses that she hates what she just did to him. Eventually, she begins referring to Smith as her boyfriend. It appears that the two live together, since Smith refers to her place as "home," and he has keys to the apartment.
Smith supports Samantha through her brush with cancer, even shaving his hair when her hair began falling out, and then shaving hers. Samantha has no sexual libido during chemotherapy and encourages Smith to have sex with anyone he wants while he is in Canada filming his next movie. Smith refuses, comparing her situation to winter: Smith returns to New York in the middle of the night, flying back after their phone call to say that he loves her.
Samantha replies that he "means more to [her] than any man [she's] ever known," which, for Samantha, is a huge statement. Their last scene together in the TV series shows the two having sex and Samantha enjoying herself; the previously unbloomed flowers have now begun to open. Four years later, the pair are still together, with Samantha giving up her job and home to live in Los Angeles with him and be his publicist supporting his booming acting career.
But Samantha has become restless with monogamy and resents that Smith's career has taken over her life. After a struggle with her weight and self-control, Samantha eventually decides to end their relationship. She explains that she loves being single more than any relationship. As seen in the Sex and the City 2 movie, the two remain friends, with Smith even inviting her to be his date to the premiere of his summer blockbuster, and introduces him to the film's Arab financier, who invites Samantha to visit his resort in Abu Dhabi so she can plan an advertising campaign for him.

I usually don't participate in this meme, but this week's topic was too good to pass up: Top Ten Favorite Television Shows. I actually think I might start joining in on all the Top Ten Tuesday fun more often, I'm loving the upcoming prompts!
Below I listed my top ten, but it's in no particular order. Some of the shows I'm not completely caught up on or I've only recently started watching and have become an immediate favorite.
This will always be one of my favorite shows. It's one of my go to's when I'm painting or cleaning or just needing to cheer up. I love the humor and incredible story lines. Michael Scott will always be one of the best characters on television and you have to love Jim, Pam, and Dwight! (Okay, and everyone else on the show!)
I love this show! The incorporation of well known fairy tales into our present world is just so awesome. I love the character development and the plot is killer! I usually have a set of favorite characters, but I honestly want to know what happens to all the characters, supporting and main. I can't wait for this to return in the Fall!
Scrubs was one of the shows I marathoned on Netflix and fell in love with it immediately. I loved how much the characters grew throughout the show, the sense of humor and J.D. is just amazing.
My mom and I don't really like the same television shows, but we both love this one! I love the crazy challenges and watching designers make the clothes!
I only started watching this series this month and I'm only on the last episode left of season two, but I really love it. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it because I'm a little over with the whole vampire thing, but the world is so authentic and believable. The characters are awesome and I'm so curious to see where the story goes next.
I love Mindy Kaling! From her work on The Office to her book, I love her work! She's so witty and the show definitely reflects her humor. It's a light, funny show and is just perfect!
This is one of my guilty pleasure shows. It's kind of a reality show; three guys go to haunted places and try to get evidence of the paranormal. I don't know why, but I find the constant talking and the nonstop "bro, did you hear that?!" comforting. I like some of the history that's thrown in, but the newer episodes are starting to get a little over the top so I just stick to the older seasons.
The plot and originality of the creatures is so great. I love that the show goes to different myths/ story tellings from different cultures and just stories I hadn't heard. I liked the movie when I was younger, but I love the television show a lot more. I loved how there was a psychological-mystery-thriller aspect to it last season and I'm hoping that will carry over into this season too!
I'm half a season behind because I got upset with where the characters were going and don't understand why some events were deemed necessary, but I still love the Winchester brothers. I love the supernatural aspect mixed with comedy and how there's always a new monster for the Winchester's to chase after.
I love the humor. It's just a classic that I still can't get enough of!

GRADUATION DAY comes roaring to life, all montage and disco music. Look at all the college aged high schoolers! Look, there's someone pole vaulting! Look, there's someone jumping hurdles! Look, someone is doing gymnastics! Oh oh oh! Someone is running track! And listen to that slamming disco beat! Man, this is
Sorry. I had to double check that I'm actually reviewing GRADUATION DAY and not FATAL GAMES.
So anyway, once the montage has tuckered itself out, we get to the grand instigation, the unfortunate death of a track and fielder as she crosses the finish line. The poor dead girl's name is Laura. The cause of death? A blood clot. Her boyfriend, Kevin, is moderately bummed about her passing, but everyone else just moves right along with their lives. It is, after all, graduation week.
Laura's sister, an ensign stationed in Guam, returns home, not for the funeral but to accept her dead sister's diploma in the graduation ceremony. She exchanges pleasantries with Kevin before all but disappearing from the first half of the movie. Meanwhile, the high school coach is on his way out, the blame for Laura's sudden death landing square in his overbearing lap. And the principle is having an affair with his blonde secretary, who is oh so cleverly named Blondie. And there's a pot smoking cop wandering around campus. And the music teacher is having sex with one of his students.
If you're wondering what any of these things have to do with one another, well… I don't have a fucking clue. I mean, there IS an unknown killer stalking and slashing Laura's teammates in hilariously cheap fashion, but the slasher action is so separated from all the other myriad bits of extraneous plot that the murders seem to be happening in a different movie altogether. It takes the film approximately 70 minutes before it remembers that its been offing teenagers left and right. In an attempt to cover that gaping plot hole, another cop makes a sudden appearance for no other reason than to say “yeah so like uhh a bunch of parents just realized that their uhh kids are missing sooooo...”
I would argue that the majority of the events in this film serve absolutely no purpose. Exactly what purpose does the principle serve, or his secretary, or the pothead cop, or the music teacher? None. They serve no purpose in the film whatsoever. Because this is a slasher film, right? So shouldn't we be spending time with the victims BEFORE we kill them off? Shouldn't they have personalities? Shouldn't they be, in some way, large or small, tied into the film instead of just lumped into the body count? I literally finished watching GRADUATION DAY 45 minutes ago. I cannot remember a single character's name outside of Blondie, Laura and Kevin. That's a huge problem.
And really, so is the motive for the killer. Believe me, within a half hour you will guess the identity of the killer. It's Kevin, the boyfriend, the only person who seems to remember (besides the coach anyway) that someone died at their school (and right in front of them, I might add) just a few days ago. But what exactly is the reason for Kevin's murder spree? It wasn't anyone's fault that Laura died of a blood clot. That kind of thing just happens. I mean, you could blame the coach, I guess. So kill the coach and be done with it. Why bother killing Laura's friends when they had absolutely nothing to do with it? I just recently reviewed PROM NIGHT. Watch the two films back to back and you'll see how this kind of thing should be done.
It would be like my 95 year old grandmother dying in her sleep and as a result, I decide to start butchering the employees of my local GameStop. That's how absurd the whole thing is. But even if we just forget the motive, the actual slashing in this slasher film is pathetic. For starters, the film does this weird thing of always having its characters walking along the same path in the woods, like these people are oblivious to the fact that their city has things called “streets”. A character (or two) will be shown walking along then the killer will casually stroll up behind them to put them out of their misery (and sometimes the knife the killer is carrying will literally be shooting blood out of its fake blade well before it even touches flesh). The indoor murder sequences are the same damn thing. The killer walks up behind his victim, the victim turns and says “what are you doing?”, and then BOOM. A piss poor effect will momentarily flash before our eyes and another person we don't care about disappears from the film. I mean, did these filmmakers really think they were being creative by having the killer stick a sword blade inside of a football before tossing it into someone's gut? I don't even need to go down the route of “dude, the ball would just deflate the second the blade ent...”. I don't even need to finish that sentence because the logic of it all doesn't matter. It's simply an idiotic scene. The fact that it is the single most memorable murder in the whole film says it all.
And when you have a slasher full of lazy set pieces, terrible special effects, and non-characters with non-personalities only doing things unrelated to the slasher business at hand, you have a film not worth recommending to anyone. I would love to tell you that there is some camp appeal to be had in GRADUATION DAY or that the cast (which includes Linnea Quigley, Christopher George, E. Danny Murphy and Michael Pataki) makes it all worth it, but I just cannot do that. This movie is terrible, no two ways about it. Stay away. Stay far, far away.

Well, we're in the south y'all (I can't believe I just typed that, by the way). And down south, BBQ is just about as important as nail salons and grits. Now, I must admit that I am a creature of habit, so when I find something good, I tend to forfeit all others and keep returning to that sweet spot. And oh, what a sweet spot Shane's Rib Shack is!
While in NY, we also decided to catch a Broadway show - since we've never done that before. West Side Story, in fact, one of my all-time favorite musicals right up there with Grease and Chicago (yeah, I've got a little nerd in me). So we made reservations at Joe Allen, an infamous place among the cast and crew of the Broadway theater gang.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A focus puller, or 1st assistant camera operator, is a member of a film crew’s camera department whose primary responsibility is to maintain image sharpness on whatever subject or action is being filmed.
“Pulling focus” refers to the act of changing the lens’ focus distance setting in correspondence to a moving subject’s physical distance from the focal plane. For example, if an actor moves from 8 m away from the focal plane to 3 m away from the focal plane within a shot, the focus puller will change the distance setting on the lens during the take in precise correspondence to the changing position of the actor. Additionally, the focus puller may shift focus from one subject to another within the frame, as dictated by the specific requirements of the shot (cinematic techniques).
A good focus puller will have an intimate knowledge of cinematographic and optical theory. Depending on the parameters of a given shot, there is often very little room for error. As such, the role of a focus puller is extremely important within the realm of a film production; a “soft” image will, in most circumstances, be considered unusable, since there is no way to fix such an error in post-production. One must also consider that an actor may not be able to duplicate his or her best performance in a subsequent take, so the focus puller is expected to perform flawlessly on every take. Because of these factors, most production personnel consider the focus puller to have the most difficult job on set.Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_puller"
Today I learned that there are many, many people, measurements, time and work involved in making sure that films stay in focus. It's a lot more complicated than I thought and explains long filming schedules and budgets. Amazing!


After the shameful treatment of Simon Sunderland, a story from the states shows just how differently they seem to treat their street artists. A brand new documentary, Graffiti Verite', has stormed the nation's video rental shops, been shown on TV and in schools throughout the US and even picked up awards. The work of documentary maker Bob Bryan, Graffiti Verite' follows the director/cameraman on a six-month journey into the Los Angeles underground scene. The film explains why the artists involved get into their art and why they do it.
However Graffiti Verite has incurred the 'Wrath of some sections of the community who see the film as glamorizing violence. Lori Gay of LA's Neighborhood Housing Services says: "It's not something that should be glorified." Yet one writer in the film, Alex Poli who writes as Man One, predicts wider respect for graf artists in years to come. "50 years from now we'll be in the books. In 200 years from now we'll be like Van Gogh."

For more than 50 years, parents have tucked their children in with tales of Narnia, the Pevensy children — and Aslan. The seven-book fantasy series by C.S. Lewis is a masterful blend of adventure and allegory. However, recent big-screen adaptations have left many fans wondering if filmmakers could have better translated the beloved characters and Christian symbolism of the classic book series. With The Voyage of the Dawn Treader due in theaters Dec. 10, we thought we'd explore some of the strengths and weaknesses of the first two films.
"Adapting a book can be a thankless job," said Paul McCusker, writer and director of the award-winning Radio Theatre adaptation of Lewis' books. "You're up against the expectations of those who have read the original work and expect you to represent it well. But you also have to deliver an engaging experience in a different medium that has its own expectations. So I'm willing to go along with changes from book to film, so long as they stay true to the spirit of the original."
McCusker thinks the first film got a lot of that "spirit" right. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was a decent adaptation. It certainly captured the world of Narnia for its intended audience of families," he said. "If I had any grievances, it was less in the adaptation as much as the director's interpretation of the characters."
Clearly, the new movie versions are modeled after other visually dynamic fantasy blockbusters. Consequently, the second film, Prince Caspian, seemed to emphasize epic battles more than story. Radio Theatre producer Dave Arnold noted, "It felt as if the director was trying to ride The Lord of the Rings' coattails instead of allowing Narnia its own identity."
Kurt Bruner, co-author of Finding God in the Land of Narnia, went into the theater with fairly low expectations, which actually helped him enjoy the movies. "The filmmakers didn't, as many feared, eliminate the Stone Table or Aslan's resurrection," he explained. "They did not add excessively gratuitous violence, as was done in The Lord of the Rings. Of course, as a Narnia purist, I would have avoided instances of creative license such as the failed castle attack in Prince Caspian, which isn't in the book, and the teen-romance angle created for Susan and Caspian."
McCusker agrees that the second film strayed further from the original than he liked. "More than anything, I was disturbed that Aslan was relegated to a secondary role," he explained. "With his role diminished, the spiritual insights were diminished, too."
Will the same be true of Dawn Treader? According to early reports, a powerful moment from that story has been left intact. In this scene, Aslan reassures Lucy and Edmund Pevensy that, while they will never return to Narnia, they will nevertheless see him in another place, where he goes by another name. The inclusion of this scene may suggest that filmmakers are taking fans' reactions to heart as they chart a course for the future of the franchise.
Of course, no matter how faithful the adaptation, parents realize that no special effects extravaganza can possibly duplicate the experience of reading at a child's bedside. Bruner hopes that the films draw families back to the classic stories. "I view the Narnia movies through the lens of one eager to motivate people to dive into the original books," he said. "There, readers will encounter Lewis' Christian faith bubbling up through the stories."

One of the best things about being a creative in today’s landscape is there are so many platforms to access content. My guest today is someone that knows all about this. Shane Twerdun is an actor, writer, director, producer, filmmaker and all round creative. He and a friend started and run the production company White Buffalo films here in Vancouver, Shane also has a project called ‘One Song Series’ producing affordable music videos for local bands.

So he created a way to do that. It’s a great case of finding something you love to do and making that passion your own.
In this interview we talk a lot about learning lessons the hard way like pouring all your energy and creativity into making your product and then suddenly realising that the, quote, "business fairies" don’t just appear out of nowhere to sell your product for you. Also learning who to trust in the early days of your business.
Shane’s incredibly passionate about what he does and the way he talks about following your dream can be applied to just about any pursuit in any field. Also For the movie buffs - we chat directing and filmmaking styles about 20 minutes in.

E83W hits the big screen.
A pickup features in a Pierce Brosnan film!
My neighbour, knowing my interest in all things 10cwt, loaned me a film he'd been given at Christmas, called 'Evelyn'.
He knew I'd be interested, as Fords feature regularly throughout, and my other half would also be interested as it had one of her favourite film starts in it (hmmm).
Makes a change from seeing PB driving around in a 007 DB5 Aston Martin I suppose..
The film is largely about a working guy in the 1950s or 1960s who is trying to get access to his daughter, after having split with his missus. He's fond of the occasional Guinness (the film is set in Ireland after all), so getting access to his offspring takes some time.
Throughout the film, the little brown E83W regularly appears, speeding along with a ladder on the top. So it pays to keep your eyes open during the film for an appearance of this truck. Equally a number of other sidevalves have cameo roles either parked up in driveways, or scooting past, including 103Es and at least one 5cwt Fordson that springs to mind.
I did wonder if perhaps an Irish Ford club had been approached to supply some of the vehicles?
Overall not a bad film, made all the more appealing by the use of a 10cwt.
Does anyone know more about the actual pickup used in filming? the registration looks like '24 5284' or '24 9284'. Judging by the closeup of the cab, with brown paint over the screen frame and rubber, it may have had a temporary paintjob during filming, so if there are any photos out there showing the pickup in its normal colour scheme, I'd be interested to see them.
Are there any other E83W film stars out there that should be shown here? Please get in touch if you know of any, ta.


Advancements in Technology
The field of visual effects and computer-generated imagery (CGI) has evolved significantly in recent years due to advancements in technology. With the introduction of more powerful computer hardware and software, artists and technicians now have access to tools that can create photorealistic and breathtaking visual effects.
One of the most significant technological advancements in the field of visual effects and CGI is the use of real-time rendering engines. These engines allow artists to see the final result of their work in real-time, eliminating the need for time-consuming rendering processes. This not only speeds up the production process but also allows for greater creativity and experimentation. Explore this external website to gain more insight into the subject. Investigate this in-depth material.
Another major innovation in visual effects and CGI is the introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence. These technologies enable artists to automate repetitive tasks, such as rotoscoping or tracking, allowing them to focus on more creative aspects of their work. Machine learning and AI can also be used to create realistic simulations of natural phenomena, such as water or fire.
Visual effects and CGI have become an integral part of storytelling in the film and television industry. They are no longer just used to create spectacular action sequences or mind-bending visuals; they are now used to enhance the narrative and bring the story to life.
For example, visual effects can be used to transport audiences to fantastical worlds, whether it be an alien planet or a medieval kingdom. These effects can create a sense of awe and wonder, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the story.
CGI is also used to bring fictional characters to life. From creating lifelike digital doubles of actors to animating fantastical creatures, CGI allows filmmakers to push the boundaries of what is possible on-screen. This technology not only enhances the visual aspects of the film but also enables actors to interact with imaginary characters and environments in a seamless and believable way.
Virtual production is an emerging trend in the field of visual effects and CGI that is revolutionizing the way films and television shows are made. It combines the use of real-time rendering engines, motion capture, and virtual reality to create immersive and interactive virtual environments.
With virtual production, filmmakers can shoot entire scenes in a virtual environment, eliminating the need for physical sets or locations. This not only saves time and money but also allows for greater creative freedom and flexibility during the production process.
Virtual production also enables directors and cinematographers to see the final result of their work in real-time, making it easier to make creative decisions on set. It also allows for seamless integration of live-action footage with CGI, creating a more cohesive and visually stunning end product.
The Future of Visual Effects and CGI
The future of visual effects and CGI looks promising, with continued advancements in technology and a growing demand for high-quality visual content. As technology continues to evolve, visual effects and CGI will become even more realistic and sophisticated, pushing the boundaries of what is possible on-screen.
One area of innovation that holds great potential is the use of virtual reality in visual effects and CGI. As virtual reality becomes more accessible to audiences, filmmakers will have the opportunity to create immersive and interactive experiences that blur the line between reality and fiction.
Another area of development is the use of real-time ray tracing technology. This technology allows for even more realistic lighting and reflections in CGI, creating visuals that are indistinguishable from reality. Real-time ray tracing is already being used in video games, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a standard tool in the visual effects industry.
Overall, the innovations in visual effects and CGI are shaping the future of storytelling and entertainment. With advancements in technology and a focus on enhancing the narrative, visual effects and CGI will continue to play a crucial role in creating immersive and captivating experiences for audiences around the world.

The Raid 2 (Indonesian: The Raid 2: Berandal — English: "Thug") is a 2014 Indonesian martial arts crime action film written and directed by Gareth Evans; it is the sequel to the 2012 hit The Raid: Redemption and was announced in 2011. The film was released on 28 March 2014. Iko Uwais reprises his role as Rama. The film also stars Arifin Putra, Julie Estelle, Alex Abbad, Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, and Cecep A. Rahman. The film also featured Japanese actors such as Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endo, and Kazuki Kitamura.
Couple hours after the Jakarta apartment raid, rising gangster Bejo assassinates Andi for taking charge after the death of Tama Riyadi. The only surviving police officers of the raid, Rama, Bowo and Wahyu, meet with Bunawar, the trustworthy police Andi sent him to at the previous film's end. After sending Bowo to receive medical attention and executing Wahyu, Bunawar invites Rama to join a small anti-corruption task force which seeks to expose police commissioner Reza's backroom dealings with the Bangun and Goto gangs. While Rama initially declines, he ultimately assents after learning of his brother's murder by Bejo and the imminent threat to his family.
To ingratiate himself into Bangun's organization, Rama assaults the son of a politician who opposed the family, earning imprisonment with Bangun's son Uco. Rama, under the alias "Yuda", saves the mobster's life during a prison riot. Bangun subsequently hires 'Yuda' when the latter's prison sentence ends. As 'Yuda' proves his value to the organization and earns the family's trust, rifts grow between him and the unreliable Bunawar. Uco grows increasingly discontented with his father's lack of faith in his abilities and placidity towards the Japanese, desiring to take on a larger role in the mob's operations.

The annual film festival offers Kazakh movie lovers of all tastes the latest cinematographic pictures from France, from melodrama and comedy to a heart-wrenching animated film.
The eighth edition of the annual French film festival took place in Kazakhstan from April 22 to 25, presenting participants with a wide variety of cinematographic pieces, Tengrinews.kz reported. For the first time ever, the festival was held in Astana and Almaty simultaneously.
The four-day event, titled “French Cinema Today,” offered something for movie-goers of all tastes and genres, including adventure films, biopics, animated pictures, and comedies starring Pierre Richard and Christian Clavier, as well as a melodrama starring the inimitable Catherine Deneuve. Viewers were also treated to the “Short Meter” program, which featured 15 pieces.
The goal of the festival was to bring the latest French movies to the Kazakh audience. For example, Mr Stein Goes Online, a romantic comedy directed by Stéphane Robelin and starring Piere Richard, was only released last Wednesday in France. Kazakh viewers had a chance to see the movie only days after its original release in France.
Furthermore, the event aims to commercialize French cinema in Kazakhstan. French films are gaining popularity in Kazakhstan, where distributors are eager to purchase the latest pictures and offer them for rent. According to the organizers, about five to seven films that appeared in the festival will become available for rent in Kazakhstan. Movies remain available for rent even after the festival wrapped up.
A number of film directors and actors, including the Russian actor Yevgeniy Sidikhin who stars in one of the featured movies, descended on Astana and Almaty to partake in the festival.
This year’s program featured a biographical drama directed by Liza Azuelos, Dalida, which chronicles the life of the Egyptian-born Italian singer and actress Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti, known as Dalida. Another offering, In the Forests of Siberia, tells a gripping true-life story of survival set against the picturesque backdrop of the Siberian landscape. The movie is directed by Safy Nebbou.
Comedy lovers enjoyed If I Were a Boy by Audrey Dana and Mr Stein Goes Online by Stéphane Robelin, while melodrama fans were treated to The Midwife by Martin Provost.
Another participating picture was the Oscar-nominated My Life as a Zucchini, a stop motion animated comedy-drama directed by Claude Barras. The animated film offers a profound exploration into the themes of orphanhood, abandonment and acceptance.


The actor, who is now 50 years old, is 6’0” tall. That’s 72 inches, or 1.83 meters for those who prefer the metric system. In other words, he’s a tall dude. He’s not the tallest actor in Hollywood – that honor goes to someone like Dwayne Johnson, who is 6’5” – but he’s still taller than the average man.
How did he get so tall?
Well, Diesel has said in interviews that he come from a long line of tall people. His father, Irving, is 6’4”, and his mother, Delora, is 6’0”. So it’s not surprising that he got his height from them. He also has two sisters, one of whom is 6’0” and the other is 5’10”.
What’s interesting is that, despite being tall, Diesel wasn’t always the muscular guy we know today. In fact, when he was younger, he was actually quite skinny. It wasn’t until he started lifting weights in his 20s that he started to bulk up.
Of course, now he’s in amazing shape, and he’s definitely not skinny anymore. He’s actually quite muscular, and he’s even got a six-pack. Not bad for a 50-year-old!
So there you have it: the reason Vin diesel is so tall is because he comes from a long line of tall people, and he’s also in great shape.
The actor’s height compared to other fast and furious stars
The Fast and Furious franchise is full of action, adventure, and excitement. The films follow a group of street racers and criminals who use their skills to perform heists and other dangerous feats. The franchise has become one of the most popular and successful in Hollywood, and has spawned several spin-offs and sequels.
One of the things that makes the Fast and Furious franchise so popular is the cast. The films feature some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and Michelle Rodriguez. The cast is also incredibly diverse, with actors from all over the world.
One of the most popular questions about the Fast and Furious franchise is: how tall are the cast members? This is a question that has been asked about many Hollywood franchises, but is especially relevant to the Fast and Furious franchise because of the diverse cast.
Here is a look at the height of some of the most popular Fast and Furious stars:
Vin Diesel – 6’0”
Dwayne Johnson – 6’5”
Michelle Rodriguez – 5’5”
Tyrese Gibson – 6’1”
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges – 5’11”
Sung Kang – 5’10”
As you can see, the cast members of the Fast and Furious franchise are a varied group when it comes to height. However, one thing that they all have in common is that they are all tall!
The average height for a Hollywood actor is around 5’10”, so all of the Fast and Furious stars are above average when it comes to height. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are particularly tall, with both of them being over six feet tall.
The height of the Fast and Furious cast members is one of the things that makes the franchise so popular. The tall stature of the actors makes them seem larger than life, and their height is one of the things that makes them seem like action stars.

What vin diesel’s height might mean for his roles
Vin diesel is a tall man. He is 6’4″. That is pretty tall. It is also the average height for an NBA player. So, vin diesel is tall. But, what does that mean for his roles?
Well, for one, it means that he is going to be able to play a lot of roles that require a tall person. He can play basketball players, he can play football players, he can play soldiers, he can play a lot of different roles.
But, it also means that he might have a harder time playing some roles. For example, he might have a hard time playing a child. He might also have a hard time playing a woman.
But, in general, being tall is going to help him more than it is going to hurt him. He is going to be able to play a lot of roles that require a tall person. And, he is going to be able to play those roles well.
How vin diesel’s height affects his career
Vin diesel is an actor who is known for his roles in action movies. He is also known for his height, which is 6’4”. This height can be both an advantage and a disadvantage in his career.
An advantage of his height is that it makes him look more intimidating on screen. This can be helpful for action scenes where he needs to look like a tough guy. It can also make him look more commanding and authoritative. This can be useful for roles where he needs to be a leader or a role model.
A disadvantage of his height is that it can make him look less approachable. This can be a problem for roles where he needs to be friendly and relatable. It can also make him look less inviting and open. This can be an issue for roles where he needs to be charming and likable.
Despite the advantages and disadvantages of his height, Vin diesel has had a successful career. He has starred in many successful movies and has built a large fan base. His height has not been a major obstacle in his career.
The implications of vin diesel’s height for his fans
When it comes to the height of celebrities, there are always going to be those who stand out from the rest. In the case of actor Vin Diesel, his height definitely makes him stand out from the crowd. At 6’4″, he is one of the tallest actors in Hollywood. And while his height may be an advantage when it comes to his acting career, it also has some implications for his fans.
For one thing, his height can make it difficult for him to find roles that are a good fit for him. In many cases, he is simply too tall for the part. This was the case with the role of Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise. Diesel was considered for the role, but ultimately lost out to Harrison Ford because Ford was a better fit physically.
Another implication of Diesel’s height is that it can make him seem intimidating to some people. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be a turn-off for some potential fans. Additionally, his height can make it difficult for him to connect with some of his shorter co-stars. This was an issue on the set of The Fast and the Furious, where Diesel had to work hard to connect with his co-star Paul Walker, who was much shorter than him.
Overall, Vin Diesel’s height is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It gives him a unique look that can help him stand out in a crowd, but it also has some implications that he and his fans need to be aware of.

Story as reported from the BBC
“Lacock named as European hotspot by TripAdvisor website”
TV dramas including Cranford have been filmed in Lacock
A Wiltshire village has been named as Europe's top up-and-coming destination by a tourism website.
TripAdvisor UK says interest in Lacock, near Chippenham, has increased more than any other European hotspot over the past 12 months.
A spokesperson for the website, which offers holiday and hotel reviews, said: "The use of the village as a film set over the last few years may partly explain its significant soar in popularity."
I'd put it down to the fact that the UK is better value than it used to be.
Margaret Barley, Veitchly House B&B
Films and TV dramas including Pride and Prejudice, Moll Flanders, Emma, Cranford and Harry Potter have all been shot in Lacock. "There has been a huge increase in the interest in Lacock," added Alan Williams from Visit Wiltshire. "It's probably linked to the films that have been shot there, as well as the Abbey and the village. "Certainly we've seen a lot more people coming to Wiltshire over the last year or so and we did really well out of the 'Staycation'.

Lacock stars in Downton Abbey
For the final series of Downton Abbey, the Wiltshire village of Lacock starred in the beloved ITV drama for the first time.
In February 2015 the Downton Abbey crew transformed Church Street into a 1920s livestock market. Sheep, pigs and a 1-tonne long-horned bull joined the cast, as well as many ‘extras’, creating a bustling market scene attended by Lord Grantham, his family and many of the staff.
Lacock is Cranford
Stars and experiences on the film set at Lacock
The famous characters from above and below stairs wandered the streets of Lacock: Lord and Lady Grantham and their daughters Lady Mary and Lady Edith were there, and all of the staff from Mr Carson to Mrs Patmore. Only Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton were missing, who play the Dowager Countess and Mrs Crawley.
Event volunteer Ray Pattemore was another supporting artist on the set and got to play a judge: ‘I managed to speak to quite a few of the cast and I was even complimented on my appearance. One of the production team told me that I had one of the best supporting artists jobs on set, which pleased me no end. I particularly wanted to chat to 'Mrs Patmore' the cook, played by Lesley Nicol. My surname is Pattemore and Patmore is a name linked to my ancestors. I explained this to her and she was pleased that I had spoken to her.’
‘Lots of people come to Lacock and say: “It looks like something out of Downton”, so it was wonderful to finally have the crew and cast here – lots of us have been hoping they’d decide to film here,’ said Kristine Heuser who works for the National Trust in Lacock. ‘We are all massive fans, so spotting Lady Mary, Thomas and Mr Bates on the streets we walk every day was an absolute treat.’
