Edge Of Tomorrow Is The Movie Other Action Movies Wish They Could Be - io9

Edge Of Tomorrow Is The Movie Other Action Movies Wish They Could Be - io9 | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

We've been reliving the same events over and over again. We keep getting excited for an original science fiction movie, like Elyisum. Or Oblivion. Only to be disappointed. Which is why Edge of Tomorrow is such a thrill. At last, Tom Cruise has broken the cycle of drek. This is the first movie in ages that does scifi action right.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

You got your mom and dad and sister and brother. Aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents are easy enough to understand. But what about your extended family of 2nd cousins and those twice removed or great aunts and kids of that one lady who was always at your family parties? What do you call them?

The 5 Rules of Film Noir

Whichever way you turn, Fate sticks out a foot to trip you.” – Al Robert (Tom Neal), Detour

Film Noir. When you think that phrase, the mind is immediately drawn to images of leggy ice queens, rumbled losers in fedoras, guns, neon and certain deadpan cynicism.

35 Photographs of Abandoned Places: Where Eerie and Beautiful Overlap | DashBurst | Machinimania | Scoop.it

#pAbandoned places around the world make for some of the most stunning pictures, but they also have an eerie quality about them. These photos from the popular Twitter account Abandoned Places lead you to wonder about what the place was once like. Kings, queens, empires, cities and even architecture and infrastructure can fade from fame […]


Via Tiaan Jonker
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

These photos of abandoned places remind us that nothing is everlasting or indestructible. They are proof that deserted buildings break down, and unused roads vanish as the earth reclaims what was once hers. So much of what’s man-made will eventually surrender to the greatest force around us, the force of nature.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
What is a panoramic HDR image?

A panoramic HDR is quite simply a series of HDR images that have been stitched together using photo stitching software. It is an image comprised of any number of images, sometimes up to 60, depending on how you plan your shots. Sounds complicated right? It’s really not. If you follow a simple plan, it’s actually pretty easy. It is all in having the correct workflow, so here it is.
