Oz is back but with a new twist.
1) well first off i learned that they are making a movie to explain the origins of the wizard from the movie the wizard of Oz. This is cool because they are taking a character that has a short part in the original movie and explaining his entire back story.
2) I learned that they used puppets to help the actor know where the cgi creations would be. This is really smart because it lets the actor know exactly where that creation is going to be so they can act around it, this in turn makes it easier on the cgi animator.
3) Lastly i learned that this movie had the third strongest opening in all of history. This is not surprising, i mean it has good animation and an original story,
I just want to know is "does this movie take place before or after the wizard of Oz?"

Filming in a blizard, cuz why not?
1) well the first thing i learned is that if you let your camera stay in the weather for 15 minutes before turning it on it wont fog as bad. this is good to know because i have had some issuers with my camera fogging up in the middle of a shot.
2) i learned that you should always have chemical hand warmers when filming in the cold, not to just to keep you warm but to keep your equipment from freezing. I would have never thought of using the hand warmers like that, so in my mind this is a really smart idea.
3) lastly i learned that when filming in the snow you should under expose your shots. This counteracts the glare of the snow. This is a really smart idea because even if you under expose the shot the reflection from the snow will make the shot look good.
The only question i have is would you bring a portable generator to charge the batteries?

Pixar's Senior Scientist explains how math makes the movies and games we love
1) well fist i leaned that Tony DeRose is the senior scientist at Pixar studios. I didn't know this before because i have never been big on Pixar movies, but it is surprising how he explains how math is used to make movies and video games. this is cool because i had never seen anyone explain it all in this way before.
2) Secondly i learned that the math that is used in the making of these things is not just for rendering it is also used to power the physics engines for 3D movies and video games. This is very interesting because this adds all the most important elements of these things like wind and gravity.
3) Lastly I learned that Merida's (from brave)hair is made of 100,000 individual elements. this is shocking because the most complex model i have ever made was just under 1000 elements and that was the entire model. the model for her hair is so detailed i am shocked that they used it.
My question is how long did it take to render a few seconds with Merida's hair under the effects of the physics engines?

its anothe week.
Well this week i learned that an art easel can be used for cool wall cut. I want to learn some more effects but i will just watch videos on them. nothing made me mad that i care to post about. the only thing that made me happy was that i found out who i can truly trust to help with my projects and who is a backstabbing jerk. All in it was a good week.
this one has some really cool effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsyMiTx_CF8&list=SP269398EFF9B8DE81&index=25

Amid Oscars Fanfare, Visual Effects Industry Faces Difficult Times
1) I learned that the first movie on record to use effects was Trip to the Moon in 1902. I never knew this but i have to imagine that the effects in this movie must be really bad but they did pave the way for movie like avatar so i respect this movie.
2) Secondly I learned that the effect business is taking a git at the moment. People are being fired left and right. This comes as a shock to me because with every movie now a days using effects you think they would be doing well but i guess not.
3) lastly I learned that the Life of Pi, which has gone on to make more than $500 million in worldwide ticket sales.This is also shocking because up until a few weeks ago I had never heard of it, and now its making millions of dollars. I mean I never even saw an article on it and i read about new movies all the time.
My only question is what is causing the effect business to fall apart like this?

The Life of an Indian Visual Effects Artist
1) well first off I learned that work doesn't go over seas because it is lower wages it goes over seas because there the employees have no rights over there. This is not shocking because most other countries do not care about simple things like rights for workers they have bigger problems on their hands.
2) secondly i learned that in India some companies will make new workers pay them a chunk of money and they wont give that money back for a few years, but soon after hiring said workers they are fired and they lose their money. This is so stupid why would someone have to pay to have a job, that makes no seance what so ever.
3) Lastly I learned that some companies will have new workers pay a huge amount of money for the equipment that they will be using, and 9 times out of 10 the total price for that equipment is not even 10% of what the new workers had to pay. Again why would you have to pay for a job. I mean rly they why do they have to pay for the equipment if its not even going to be theirs in the end.
My only question is why is the UN and the US government letting companies get away with this?
O yeah they never do anything so disregard that question. My real question is if this is that bad why haven't the people revolted and stooped the film companies themselves.
