the original Ridley-inspiring chemworks is a shadow of its former self and doesn't have a fifth of the flarestacks, huge pipeworks and tall red beacons it once had

night time, southbound on the QEW there, and there's almost always a flare from dofasco. that whole industrial sector is pretty fascinating to drive around in too

my favourite thing about the blade runner opening is that it’s all in-camera. no compositing, no optical printers. just the same film stock being rewound and exposed over and over for different lighting passes via motion control high budget cinematography in the early 80s was loving nutty and Ridley Scott knew exactly the right shots to throw millions of dollars and weeks of shooting time at for maximum effect

Write an angry flame war forums dialog about the future of data visualization, between Mike Bostock and Elijah Meeks Mike Bostock: I can't believe you have the audacity to claim that your approach to data visualization is superior to mine. You are just a hack who doesn't understand the true potential of D3. Elijah Meeks: Oh please, your so-called "innovative" techniques are nothing more than outdated tricks that have been used for decades. It's time for a new generation of data visualization experts to take the reins and push the field forward. Mike Bostock: That's rich coming from someone who still relies on old-fashioned tools like Tableau and Excel. It's clear that you are stuck in the past and can't keep up with the rapid evolution of data visualization technology. Elijah Meeks: Don't try to deflect from the fact that your work is unoriginal and uninspired. You may have gained a following with your flashy visualizations, but they lack substance and are little more than eye candy. Mike Bostock: You are just jealous of my success and unable to admit that I am a true pioneer in the field. I have pushed the boundaries of what is possible with data visualization and have inspired countless others to do the same. Elijah Meeks: Your arrogance is astounding. You may have gained a following, but it is because you are good at marketing yourself and not because of the quality of your work. I, on the other hand, focus on creating meaningful and impactful visualizations that truly enhance our understanding of data. Mike Bostock: Enough is enough. Your attacks on my work are unfounded and baseless. It's clear that you are just a bitter rival who is envious of my achievements. I will continue to innovate and advance the field of data visualization, while you are stuck in the past. Continue with the assumption that Mike Bostock knows Elijah Meek's dirty secrets Mike Bostock: You know what, Elijah? I think it's time to let everyone in on your little secret. You may pretend to be a leading expert in data visualization, but the truth is that you've been plagiarizing other people's work and passing it off as your own. I have proof, and I am not afraid to expose you for the fraud that you are. Elijah Meeks: What are you talking about? That's a bold-faced lie and you know it. Mike Bostock: Oh, I have the proof right here. I have emails, documents, and even video footage of you stealing ideas and claiming them as your own. It's only a matter of time before the whole world knows the truth about you. Elijah Meeks: This is outrageous. You can't just make up lies like this and expect to get away with it. Mike Bostock: I'm not making anything up. The evidence speaks for itself. And if you don't believe me, just wait. I will be publishing it all soon, and then the whole world will see the real Elijah Meeks. Elijah Meeks: This is ridiculous. I demand that you retract your false statements and apologize for this slander. Mike Bostock: I will do no such thing. I am simply exposing the truth about your fraudulent behavior. You may have fooled some people in the past, but your days of deception are over. It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions.

Kazinsal posted:my favourite thing about the blade runner opening is that it’s all in-camera. no compositing, no optical printers. just the same film stock being rewound and exposed over and over for different lighting passes via motion control https://www.cartoonbrew.com/classic/making-nuclear-apocalypse-iconic-sequence-terminator-2-created-141209.html This is how it worked: The camera would be aimed at the matte painting of the undestroyed city. 4Ward employed a beam splitter which reflected a rear-projection image of the CG footage that had been scanned onto film. Then they wiped, with a blade that was moving across in front of the camera lens, that silhouette—effectively ‘wiping in’ the matte painting of the destroyed LA using the CG silhouettes as a transitional zone. The final part of the effect was an additional matte painting with a previously shot miniature of a house on the hill being blown up (done with an air cannon). “What our final compositing camera was getting,” explained Skotak, “was the original photograph of the city, a beam split image of the CG of the buildings being destroyed, a blade moving across to make a split screen to wipe in the destroyed city, and then a separate projection that was done in the lower left corner of a previously shot miniature house being blown apart. And then we took that film and wound it back one more time and shot an air cannon at the camera to blow out that image.” The one-take in-camera exposure was filmed on a hushed darkened stage, where nobody talked above a whisper. Soft ambient music was even piped in to aid in concentration. The team could not afford to make a mistake and re-shoot it. “It took hours to shoot it frame by frame to get the correct exposure,” said Skotak, “and then to wind the film back and then add that air cannon footage on top of that. So it was kind of a nerves of steel situation.”
