    ....quiet day, only 50 emails (instead of 112 or so) this morning. Still a few "contribute to my campaign/our cause now!" ones.  Sheesh one would think there'd be a bit of decorum observed for the holidays.

    There was actually a threat of snow for today in the hills around the city, but that has since been cancelled. Doesn't look like a white Christmas through most of the US unless you live in the mountains. 66° in Centerpoint NY, 72° in Austin, good day to have a holiday picnic I guess,  Even in the low 40s in Milwaukee.  In the southeast Santa will need a pontoon boat and his rain gear to make the rounds tonight.

    Watch out in East Central Texas this Saturday, Possibility of tornadoes.

    Held up at a TSA security checkpoint in International Falls MN.

    Well it seems to vary, depending on whther you use Google or NORAD to tracvk him, as Google has him in Lithuania at the moment and NORAD says he is heading for Khartoum.

    ...Happy Christmas to all on the other side of the date line.

    ...good he's been through your already or he'd need the SPF 1,000 sunbblock and an air conditioner on the sleigh

    Still difficult to imagine celebrating the holidays with temps in the mid 90s (or further inland there where it's in the 110's).

    Merry Christmas Eve and a merry Christmas to all those experiencing an alternate timeline where it's already Christmas... Be well, be merry and beware of Krampuses... (There may be more than one now... Sorry), but whatever, happy a happy holiday.

    I'll have a hot Christmas down under
    I'll be so hot, I'll sweat and I'll wonder
    Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
    Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

    And when those white snowflakes start falling
    That's when those cool memories start calling
    You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
    But I'll have a hot, hot hot hot Christmas

    You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
    But I'll have a hot, hot Christmas

    there is all holly and snow stuff hanging up in the mall at the end of our street it must be compulsory wherever you are :)

     

    oh ps thought I saw Elvis at the mall....

    Goofing off with some 3D.  The label on the bottles I drew myself based off an old pic one of my friends got.  Alcohol by dinosaurs, for dinosaurs. :P

    Probably not safe for human consumption, though it never hurts to try?  This raptor-made alcohol ended up being used a second time a year or so later in this third pic, where Echrei shows just how much he loves alcoholic drinks.  Balancing on his tail while he holds some in his foot-claws, that takes talent!

    My roommate is mad because I cannot download some app onto her iPod but she does not have an apple id and when I tried to log into her email account she could not remember the password.   I am a little too tired to try to think up of a new email address user name for her so she can download this app so she can talk to someone that she may or may not be allowed to talk to.

    i dont know what term to google for to learn about non jolting camera switching.

    ooo final cut pro.

    ooo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematic_techniques

    aha (luv wiki)
    Match cut: Exactly the opposite of a jump cut within a scene. These cuts make sure that there is a spatial-visual logic between the differently positioned shots within a scene. thus, where the camera moves to, and the angle of the camera, makes visual sense to the spectator. Eyeline matching is part of the same visual logic: the first shot shows a character looking at something off-screen, the second shot shows what is being looked at. Match cuts then are also part of the seamlessness, the reality effect, so much favoured by Hollywood

    Eye-line matching: A term used to point to the continuity editing practice ensuring the logic of the look or gaze. In other words, eyeline matching is based on the belief in mainstream cinema that when a character looks into off-screen space the spectator expects to see what he or she is looking at. Thus there will be a cut to show what is being looked at: object, view, another character, etc. Eyeline then refers to the trajectory of the looking eye. The eyeline match creates order and meaning in cinematic space. Thus, for example, character A will look off-screen at character B. Cut to character B, who-if she or he is in the same room and engaged in an exchange either of glances or words with character A-will return that look and so 'certify' that character A is indeed in the space from which we first saw her or him look. This "stabilising" is true in the other primary use of the eyeline match which is the shot/reverse angle shot, also known as the reverse angle shot, commonly used in close-up dialogue scenes. The camera adopts the eyeline trajectory of the interlocutor looking at the other person as she or he speaks, then switches to the other person's position and does the same.

     

    crash course lol
