![]() The full on orchestral score compliments the epic grandeur that the story goes for. The sound track is always perfectly matched, never committing the cardinal sin of overpowering the inherent mood of a scene. As it is though, it is still brilliant, and a beauty to behold each and every second. The clunky character animations and the lack of long, and truly gratifying action scenes leave me with a slight, very very slight, feeling of disappointment in the visuals I feel like it was but 2 steps from blowing my socks off. The characters don`t look like digitized images of real people they retain a little bit of a cartoony feel, only with eons more detail than nearly every piece of animation in existence. The character animations don`t seem quite as smooth and effortless, but the gritty, post-apocalyptic setting and the striking realism in the skin tones and hair of The Spirits Within remains matchless. After trying my best to put all my biases aside to look at this as entertainment pure and simple, I`ve come to realize that despite its flaws here and there, it`s not half bad.ħ or so years after the fact, The Spirits Within still boasts visuals competitive with a newer Final Fantasy: Advent Children. My opinion of this film drastically changes depending on what I evaluate it against. Looking at it as an Anime, it puts the visual/audio of most films to shame, and its western blockbuster style is actually novel. As a Hollywood Sci-fi movie sitting next to something like The Matrix, it is racked with cliches, but an engrossing As an FF fan, this movie is a bit of a disappointment because it lacks a strong fantasy element and limit breaks (lets face it, we all want to see limit breaks). Reviewing this on an Anime website as a frequent movie goer and a fan of the Final Fantasy series, my perspective is, as you might expect, a little bit scattered. It sits at the midpoint between a Square style RPG and a Hollywood blockbuster. The Spirits Within is not like Anime at all. Think of it as nothing more than 'The Spirits Within', and enjoy it for what it is, not what many people hoped it would be. Watch it with an open mind, and forget it's called 'Final Fantasy'. It's not got much of a re-watch value, but I'd certainly say go and watch it once. Each was unique and, while I didn't learn a lot about them during the film, I felt they were created well.Ĭonsidering its length, the time, and the fact it's a part of a series which is loved by millions, I would certainly say this movie is under-rated. It added to the atmosphere, and all those sound effects we take for granted well sleak and done to perfection.Ĭharacters were nice, and better than the plot. The character voices were well cast and the music was serene. Better than the animation in FFVIII, which was being made at the same time. The animation was astounding the characters looked almost as real as they possibly could have done. story in its own right, but it doesn't compare to the game series. I preferred it to Advent Children since it was a ![]() However, it wasn't nearly as good as what people hoped it to be. There were a couple of unexpected moments, some romance, action, and some interesting ideas. It had some good qualities, but nothing new. The story was quite simple, but decent enough. It's not really what I would classify as fantasy. Okay, it didn't quite match up to the magical, epical, astounding, spellbinding, memorable, groundbreaking quality of the game series, but think of it as a normal SciFi movie and you'll be fine. ![]() The problem is the script, which reads like a Pokemon reject, confusing gibberish about the earth's spirit that does not do justice to the beliefs of environmentalists or pantheists.Despite what people say, this film was not awful. The dialogue is passable, delivered with panache by first-rate talent (Buscemi, as always, is a highlight). The post apocalyptic-settings are complex and believable. A scene with a soaring eagle is breathtaking, genuinely touching. The monsters are extraordinary creations, somewhere between dinosaurs, dragons, jellyfish, and squid. Movie fans might also find it distracting to hear such instantly recognizable voices (James Woods, Ving Rhames, Peri Gilpin, Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Donald Sutherland) coming from faces so incongruously different from our associations. But when we see something with so little difference from humans, it just makes clearer how important that difference is. In more standard animation, the conventions allow for a level of exaggeration and omission that allows us to project human-like reactions onto a character. ![]() They do less well when it comes to talking and, well, acting. ![]() The movie's effects work best when the "actors" are moving, because their movements are based on that oldest of animation techniques, rotoscoping. ![]()

For this reason, many people using CSP (myself included) will use vector layers for linework, and raster for colours. The restriction with raster/vector is that you can't use the fill tool on a vector layer. It has nothing to do with raster or vector layers, as you can do this with either type. ![]() It'll only fill up until that different layer (or layers, you can set multiple reference layers) tells it to stop. So the idea with a reference layer is you're filling (or using any other tool that uses reference layers) based on a different layer. If anyone else can weigh in for an easier way to explain this - appreciated It sounds like a lot - but it has sped up my workflow since I used to fill in manually and it was a pain. It gives you more control too since instead of hoping your lines are closed, even if you have an area that is not closed completely, you can use your brush and gently approach the margin. With 'Do not cross reference layer' checked and a high margin, you can use a larger brush tool to quickly fill in closed areas in your line art instead of having to manually fill in or use the bucket tool. Once you have those set up, you can make a NEW raster layer for your color. ![]() In the brush settings (sub-brush settings) you can find both: "Do not cross lines of reference layer" and also "Color Margin." You can check the box next to the settings to then make them appear permanently on the workstation so you can toggle it on and off - because there will be times when you don't want to constrain color! I set my color margin to 100 because I use anti-aliasing on my lines and it helps prevent gray blurs at the line edges. You can toggle this on and off as you need. You can set your reference layer on the layer list with the button that looks kind of like a lighthouse. You can use a vector or raster layer as the 'reference' layer. There is a setting on brushes that is not by default - I use it with the 'oil paint tool.' This is a bit complicated to explain but I'll try my best.Īnti-overflow allows you to paint on your active layer while using a reference layer as the boundary/outline for your painting - kind of a way to limit your brush to another layer's lines.

This first conclusion is as follows: if the Universe is always moving apart, rewinding to the early Universe, everything was once compacted into a small point. As the bread bakes, the loaf expands, and every raisin moves apart from every other raisin. Pretend the loaf is all of the Universe, and the raisins are individual galaxies. Regardless of where observations are made, either in our own Milky Way galaxy or across the Universe in another galaxy, all galaxies appear to be moving away, and the further the galaxy, the faster the rate at which it is moving away. This rate of expansion of the Universe is also speeding up the Universe is expanding faster than it used to when the Universe was young. You can better understand this expansion of spacetime in the following way: Think of a loaf of raisin bread baking in an oven (see the animation at left). Instead, it was realized that this is because the entire Universe is expanding spacetime itself is stretching apart. This is not because the location of the Milky Way is special. The first comes from noting that all galaxies appear to be receding from our location in space. This equation, Hubble's Law, is written as v = H 0d.įrom his observations, Hubble and others were able conclude several important facts about the nature of the Universe. Hubble eventually determined that the velocity at which these galaxies were receding was proportional to how far away they were the further away the galaxies were, the higher their redshift was. Hubble interpreted this shift in the spectrum as a Doppler shift, postulating that these distant galaxies were traveling away from our own. In the early 20th century, the astronomer Edwin Hubble observed that the spectra of distant galaxies were significantly redshifted (such as below). Astronomical redshift and gravitational redshift are related phenomena that occurs not because objects are directly moving relative to one another, but because spacetime itself is expanding (astronomical redshift, see below) and distorting due to strong gravitational forces (gravitational redshift). If the observer moves toward the object, it appears blueshifted, and if the observer moves away, a redshift is observed. The star labeled A and its A absorption lines behave in the same manner, shifting to the blue when moving toward the observer and shifting to the red when moving away.Īs motion is relative, redshift and blueshift can also occur when an observer is moving instead of the light emitting object. As it receds from the observer, its absorption lines move to the red, becoming redshifted instead. As the star labeled B moves toward the green point observer, its B spectral lines appear in the blue wavelengths of the spectrum. The two stars seen on the right orbit one another. The observer is located a the green point on the left. For example, see the animation to the right. The light shifts from its rest wavelength toward these bluer or redder wavelengths. If an object emitting light recedes away from an observer, the light reaching the observer will shift towards the red, increasing the wavelength and decreasing the frequency. Doppler shifts from the Doppler effect can be seen not only in sound waves (like the change in pitch of a passing vehicle), but in light waves as well.Īs an object emitting light moves towards an observer, the light reaching the observer will shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, decreasing the wavelength of the light and increasing its frequency. ![]() The value of the shift is dependent on details of the material the waves are traveling in. Because of this, the wavelength shifts and the frequency at which peaks arrive at the observer changes. As the source moves, each peak in the waveform it produces is emitted from a position which is closer or farther away (depending on whether the source is moving towards or away from the observer). The Doppler Effect describes the change in the wavelength and frequency of waves emitted by a source which is in motion relative to the observer.

![]() ![]() Overall I used 2 personal training sessions and paid $1490+ $ 1320( paid for buy back other wise I could ended up paying $2640=2*$1320). I wish LA fitness could have consider my situation cancel the plan without buy back, but they charger me buy back. It is my mistake and could have gone through plan details while signing up. I thought LA fitness can consider my case- don’t know the buy back clause and moving to a different city- but no use. Finally they changed me $1320 to cancel the remaining 3 months. I talked to customer care supervisor but no use. I tried to explain that I I didn’t know the buy back clause (sales rep never told me about the buy back clause in the entire meeting I had with him while signing up for the plan) and I am moving to a city where LA fitness don’t have any centers. In my case it is $1320 for remaining 3 months. In this buy back you need to pay half of the fees for the remaining period. Here comes contact spin - customer care guy told me that I have contact till December and I cannot simply cancel without paying buy back. I am moving to a city where LA fitness don’t have any centers so I called the customer care to cancel my personal training sessions and the membership.

They will talk you over an hour and never say a word about cancellation policy and buy back clause involved when like to cancel the plan or contract. Be very very careful when you are signing any agreement or contract for personal training. They talk nicely over an hour and show good package and rates.

We knew nothing about that conference, but it was clear that with so many people expecting us to be there, maybe we should go.” “They started asking us just by chance, would they see us at the American Library Association conference, which that year was in Las Vegas. “From the beginning, the people who were charged with helping us pick the books to send the families and using the combination of technology and human curators were all librarians,” Lloyd says. But with all the traffic that came to the site, nobody bought that consumer product, and that was a clear sign to us that it was probably not going to work.” Zoobean’s next step was driven by librarians. “He’s been excellent and has been with us over the years. “When we went on Shark Tank just a month into the company, we got a $250,000 investment from Mark Cuban,” Lloyd says. That exposure caught the eye of a producer for ABC’s reality show Shark Tank. Zoobean got off the ground when it won a competition run by startup accelerator NewME and was subsequently featured on NewME’s social media accounts. The initial concept for the business was a consumer-facing book delivery service with curated children’s books and suggested apps based on a family and child’s background and interests. “We often called him Cashew and then Cashew Bean,” Lloyd says, which became Zoobean. In 2014, Beanstack-the flagship product of reading-centric startup Zoobean-joined the fray and has been on the rise ever since.Įxperienced educators based in Washington, D.C., husband-and-wife team Felix Brandon Lloyd and Jordan Lloyd Bookey cofounded Zoobean in 2013, giving the company a moniker inspired by a nickname they used for their young son, Cassius. ![]() Some libraries created their own digital tracking tools, while ed tech companies developed programs that libraries could license.

Though the goal of preventing a dip in children’s reading activity and skills over the summer months remains the same today, some aspects of summer reading programs look quite different in the digital age. Not quite-but they are the product of another century, first taking root in the 1890s as a way to keep school-age children reading and using public libraries during their summer breaks. These programs are such a staple that it may feel like they have been around forever. Preparations for summer reading programs are already well underway at libraries across the country. ![]() ![]() ![]() How the iPhone 15 Pro captures spatial video. The 3D effect, which is highly compelling when you see the videos played back on a Vision Pro, is created by shooting video on two of the iPhone’s cameras at the same time, the Main and Ultra Wide lenses.

Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describes these videos as “magical.” Although Apple, like most companies, can tend towards hyperbole, I’d say there is something really extraordinary about these videos, which I saw in a demonstration of the Vision Pro some months ago. In a Newsroom post, Apple specifies how the two latest Pro handsets are now capable of recording spatial videos, describing it as “a groundbreaking new capability that helps users capture life’s precious moments” and watch them back on the Apple Vision Pro when it’s released next year.
