![]() We can define Tarantino’s career by his numerous crusades to preserve and pay homage to the cinema of his youth. Instead, the duo created a trashy, low-budget genre flick featuring Tarantino’s trademark snappy dialogue, over-the-top violence….and vampires. While Hollywood expected the young director to get right to work on his next masterpiece, he and Rodriguez had other intentions. Critics and audiences crowned Pulp Fictionan instant classic the film injected 90’s cinema with a shot of adrenaline akin to the big-ass needle Vincent slams into Mia’s heart during Pulp‘s infamous overdose scene. The film features a script by Tarantino, who at the time of production was still riding high on Pulp Fiction‘s colossal wave of success. Released on January 19, 1996, From Dusk Till Dawn is a cinematic tag-team between Tarantino and his frequent collaborator, director Robert Rodriguez. ![]() 25 years ago this month, while still a director on the rise, Tarantino made a similar decision. Instead, he opted to create a small-scale, intentionally divisive social commentary. With enough clout, career accolades, and financial flexibility to do as he pleased, Tarantino decided not to chase commercial success. While superstar directors often work with a high degree of autonomy, back-to-back films grossing a combined $700 million and universal critical praise translated to Tarantino receiving creative carte blanche. In the context of Tarantino’s career, it makes perfect sense that The Hateful Eight, his most polarizing film, would follow Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, his two highest-grossing films. If Tarantino retired today, pulpy crime thrillers, dusty westerns, and blood stained revenge fantasies would define his legacy. Think about this: Tarantino continues to rack up critical acclaim - Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTA awards and nominations - for making genre pictures. ![]() What’s more amazing is that the auteur director has left an indelible mark on Hollywood while staying true to his artistic vision. In addition to sporting an encyclopedic knowledge of all things cinema, he is one of the most talented and respected filmmakers of his generation. There is a strong possibility that Quentin Tarantino has forgotten more about movies than most film buffs will ever know.

Haze in photographs is simple to remove when using Nik Color Efex thanks to the addition of ClearView, technology borrowed from DxO PhotoLab 5. ![]() Two more major boosts to Color Efex: ClearView technology to remove haze and 29 authentic colour film grains The addition of two Colour Selectivity sliders - Luminance and Chrominance - gives users greater control over the impact of local adjustments, and the interface has been updated so that creating and editing a Control Point is a clean and distraction-free experience. Control Points can now be renamed, making them easier to manage, and users can also save them as part of a pre-set, speeding up workflows. U Point™ technology, the pioneering local adjustment tools that make targeted changes feel intuitive and efficient without using masks, continues to evolve in Nik Color Efex and Nik Analog Efex. Local adjustments just got even smarter thanks to U Point™ technology Thanks to the newly refined and functional user experience in both of these plug-ins, pre-sets are now more accessible with improved options for saving and editing favourite settings. Nik Color Efex is a powerful means of enhancing and manipulating colour and continues to be Nik Collection users’ most popular plug-in, while Nik Analog Efex is unique in its potential to recreate vintage photographic effects. The user interfaces of Nik Color Efex and Nik Analog Efex have been rebuilt from the ground up, bringing them into line with the recently updated Nik Silver Efex and Nik Viveza.

Nik Collection 5: Major upgrades to Colour Efex and Analog Efex, improved local adjustment technology, and a smoother user experience. ![]() With innovation and change we create paradigms and rugby is no different. The salient point is, in 2011 in the world rugby player rates the gent was in the high 20’s, today he struggles to stay in the top 100. Therefore, he will not be considered unless those changes are forthcoming, playing in France will not deliver that incentive and at 27, time may not be his friend. In all the games I watched, the key contributors provided added abilities within their skill set. Apart from a slight improvement in his defensive game he brings nothing new to the table. Cheika is an astute coach and is more in tune with the Foley package, than QC’s stutter step and game management. The same delusion applies to some key players, it’s not skill level or fitness but adjustment and acknowledging the attributes they displayed five years age no-longer cut it. ![]() Don’t they understand that major sports continue to evolve and as witnessed in the WC just completed, that some nations struggled with that transformation. Taylorman, after another cursory review I note some folk continue to bang the drum and appear to have this uncanny ability to hallucinate about rugby matches almost played in another age. He showed Montpellier’s Australian captain Ben Mowen a yellow for a ruck infringement early on in Saturday’s game. ![]() In an ironic twist, even the referee was a foreigner: Argentinian Juan Silvestre officiated the game in English. In this case it involves Mourad Boudjellal, who has bankrolled the star-studded Toulon team through the millions made from his comic book empire, and Mohed Altrad, who made his millions in scaffolding and cement after a tough early life that saw him start out as a bedouin in the Syrian desert. There were a further eight foreigners on both benches in a sharp realisation of the globalisation of the Top 14, where clubs are funded by multi-millionaire owners. Toulon might have been missing the likes of Bryan Habana, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell, Ma’a Nonu, Leigh Halfpenny, Duane Vermuelen, Paul O’Connell, Frederic Michalak and James O’Connor, but they could still afford to field a star-studded team packed with experienced internationals.īernard Laporte named nine foreigners in his starting Toulon line-up – Montpellier coach Jake White plumping for a staggering 11. His genius and fallibility were both on show in the first-half: a no-look grubber setting up the second of Lachie Turner’s tries, but a forced one-handed sling pass leading to Montpellier’s intercept try through Julien Malzieu. “He attacks a lot and doesn’t hesitate to force the pass.”Ĭooper was little used by the Wallabies in the World Cup, but showed few signs of ring rustiness in his first run-out for the three-time European champions. “You can see with Quade that after just two training sessions, he’s very much at ease,” Toulon centre Maxime Mermoz said. Australian five-eighth Quade Cooper enjoyed the ideal introduction to the Top 14 as he steered Toulon to a 52-8 thrashing of Montpellier on Saturday.Ĭooper flourished behind a dominant pack, Fijian winger Josua Tuisova scoring a second-half hat-trick as the home side ran in eight tries to one for a well-deserved bonus point. ![]() Men with epididymitis experience symptoms such as swelling, redness, and heat around the scrotum, painful urination combined with the urgent need to pee, discharge from the penis, blood in semen, and general testicular tenderness that comes on more gradually than torsion. It can end up inflamed due to bacterial contamination from such infections as STIs, urinary tract infections, or prostate infections. The epididymis is a coiled tube at the back of the testicles that stores and carries semen. “Torsion is considered a surgical emergency, as the blood supply is cut off.” 3. There’s also evidence that this might be a heritable trait, so the fathers who’ve endured testicular torsion in the past should be especially aware of their sons’ ball pain. Translation: Sometimes, even when nothing happens, something has happened. “Torsion can be spontaneous due to an anatomical variant which makes the testicle more prone to twisting,” Diorio explains. Getting kicked in the balls is not the only way to end up with testicular torsion. Testicular Torsion Not Related to Blunt Trauma If, rather than holding yourself for a few minutes, you begin retching, it’s time to call an Uber to the ER. It’s considered a medical emergency and prompt surgery, with a very real risk of loss of a testicle and long-term fertility. This condition, which occurs when one of your boys rotates, twisting the spermatic cord, is typically accompanied by abdomen pain, nausea or vomiting, frequent urination, and a fever. Bottom line, any of these require immediate medical attention to rule out testicle torsion. However, if the pain lingers, becomes more severe, or if there’s a change in the appearance or feel of the testicles (including increased sensitivity), it could be a sign of a rupture or fracture, contusion, or dislocation. “Generally, if after the injury the pain resolves and the testicles feel normal it is unlikely there is a serious injury,” says Gregory Diorio, a urologist at DMC Harper University Hospital in Detroit. Provided there are no physical changes, men can move on with their lives and league play. Blunt Traumaīlunt trauma causes a staggering 85% of testicular injuries, as any ’90s Hollywood comedy might suggest, but the initial pain often resolves with a light jog and a few beers after the end of the game. So if you’re wondering “Why do my balls hurt?” and debating whether serious medical fondling is required versus just walking it off or rubbing some dirt on it, here are some of the reasons a man might experience discomfort in the family jewels, as well as what you should do next. Whether your balls hurt as a result of a rogue hop of a softball in a beer league, a figurative bolt of lightning one morning, or a growing ache over weeks or months, it doesn’t take a urologist to confirm that pain in balls is no joke. Testicular pain can mean a lot of things for men beyond the fact that the day has not unfolded as you’d planned. What this does is set the end point to be exactly where you are now, so no matter what is added, this is where the word will end up. The first thing I do when working with 3D this was, especially if I’m going to be experimenting as we are here, is to move the time cursor to the end of the composition and set a keyframe for all attributes at that point. Now we can select the animation we want from the timeline animate button, or if you want to experiment a bit you cans simply click add all transform properties and your layer will include all the animators for you to try. I do this for both text layers, so now we have the ability to apply new types of movement and transformation not just to the word, but to individual characters, all within a 3D environment. This is found under the Animation>Text>Enable per Character 3D> menu path as we can see. But to add more possibilities, our first step is to use a great tool built into After Effects, and that is ‘Enable per character 3D’. You could, of course, now simply use the usual transform and position tools to move the text layers, change the color and so on, and if you could this with moving the camera and even the light source you can indeed create some complex animations. Now we have some great looking 3D text, we want to make sure we make the most of that when animating it. I used the standard settings without changing anythingĪs you can see, we now have wonderful 3D text, now it is time to animate it. We still have light hitting everything equally here, so to get out lovely 3D text we want to add a point light to the composition. Now, that still doesn’t look so good, but for effective 3D it is worth remembering lighting is everything. ![]() Our first job is to add a camera to the composition.Īnd then by right clicking the camera layer once created, create an Orbit Null for the cameraĪt this point I decided to tilt my text a little to make the most of the 3D effect, simply by using the x, y and z axis on the timeline panel, so now we have this. It doesn’t look particularly spectacular at the minute, however, now we are going to bring out the beauty of these techniques. Now, that may not look very exciting just now, but stick with it. Repeating the same on the 2nd text layer gives us too words with an extrusion depth of 20. Here you can also add bevels and so on, but for this one we are just using extrusion. Here I have added an extrusion effect to the first layer, a depth of 20 works for this project, but just find a value that you find visually pleasing. Within the Ra-Traced composition 3D objects have extra attributes, and selecting our text layer we can find the Geometry Options to create that extruded 3D effect. Now that is completed, we can extrude the text for 3D. Once created I adjusted the size of the text to how I like it and made sure both layers were in 3D mode in the timeline – the cube icon. I created 2 separate text layers for the two words, Wonder and Share, simply because it makes animating them separately a simpler process. With that done we can create and work with 3D text and shapes from within After Effects itself, so let’s carry on. The final setting here will be a personal choice based on what the sequences will be used for and how long you can wait for the rendering. ![]() I’ve left the quality at the default 3 for this demonstration, as you can see, the program explains the effects of various quality levels to you on this screen, but remember that render time can increase significantly at higher qualities, so it is a balancing act for what the intended use is. ![]() ![]() Once switched to Ray-Traced 3D, you can then set the options for it. For 3D text or shapes, or if you are importing layered vector graphics such as a logo, there are settings you need to enable on your composition for it all to function.Įither when you select New Composition or on an existing one by selecting composition settings, you need to go to the advanced tab and switch from the default Classic to Ray-Traced 3D render. Our first job is to create the composition. How to Make 3D Animation in After Effects ![]() A decade after this twilight epiphany Gibbon's restless pen evoked the collapse of the empire: "Odoacer was the first barbarian who reigned in Italy, over a people who had once asserted their just superiority above the rest of mankind. "I can neither forget nor express the strong emotions which agitated my mind as I first trod, with lofty step, the ruins of the Forum," he later wrote. Gibbon resolved at that moment to undertake the great project he would call The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Thirteen centuries later, on a gloomy evening in 1764, gazing out from a perch on the Capitoline Hill, above the overgrown debris of central Rome, Edward Gibbon was seized with a sense of loss as he contemplated the collapse of a civilization. Europe would now become a continent of barbarian kingdoms - in embryo, the Europe of nation-states that exists today. The pretense of Western unity was abandoned. Odoacer understood full well that something had come to an end: he declared himself king of Italy, and sent the imperial regalia of the Western empire to Constantinople. (Imagine if the demise of America were to occur under a president named George.) But more than symbolism was at play. The historical symmetry is almost too good to be true - that the last emperor's name, Romulus, should also be that of Rome's founder. There would never be another emperor of the West. What changed was this: Odoacer was not recognized as legitimate by the eastern emperor, in Constantinople. In Italy the Roman bureaucracy continued to sputter along. Many regions had been autonomous for years, under barbarian rulers who gave lip service to the titular emperor. Rome itself wasn't touched on this occasion, and throughout the former empire life went on, little different for most people in 477 from what it had been in 475. Rome didn't "fall" the way Carthage had, six centuries earlier, when the Romans slaughtered the inhabitants and razed the city, or the way Berlin would, fifteen centuries later, blasted into rubble. There was no social implosion after he seized power, no rape and pillage. He was in fact well schooled in the ways of Rome, and he was a Christian, as most Romans by then were. Odoacer was scarcely less worthy of authority than many previous usurpers. He entered the city of Ravenna, then serving as an imperial capital, and deposed a youngster named Romulus Augustus, who had reigned as emperor for little more than a year. ![]() Odoacer captured and killed the imperial commander. The empire of the Romans in the West, its origins tracing back more than a thousand years, drew its last breath in 476 A.D., when a barbarian army led by a warrior named Odoacer, half Hun and half Scirian, defeated an imperial army that his barbarians had only a few months earlier been a part of.
