Socci and the kayakers paddled around and walked over molten lava flows as the surf instantly turned the background into clouds of water vapor. It wasn’t the safest endeavor, but it certainly made for a series of extreme kayaking photos the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
Some would say this is not smart. I think its awesome.

IMHO, Jurassic Park still holds up because they nailed the black levels. When a creature went into the shade, it WENT into shade. #JP3D

From Samuel J. Macon:
There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade.

Roger Ebert passed away Thursday at the age of 70, but he left behind an amazing collection of writing that will live on. See you at the movies, Roger!

First the subsidies came for the entry-level artists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an entry-level artist.Then the subsidies came for the mid-level pros, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a mid-level pro.
Then the subsidies came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
A very smart take on what has happened. Well Said vfx soldier. I agree completely.

So are we still thinking this is a good thing that R&H was bought by a non Los Angeles based company? Nothing against the artists in Mumbai

A company tied to Prana Studios beat out several other competing bids, including one from Prime Focus, which has a large operation in Hollywood; Psyop, a production and design firm; and a company affiliated with the president and principal investor in China Lion, the film distribution business which has an office in L.A.
The big question is, what happens when Jackson is done. A little birdy tells me the health care will be gone in 10 days.
