Temple Grandin Design
Temple Grandin is a prominent researcher in the field of animal psychology, ethology and behavior and has completed several designs for ranching and animal processing facilities. She is one of few professionals actively working to design spaces with the well-being of animals in mind — and she is not an architect. Temple’s expertise lies mainly in animal psychology and her spaces are designed to help soothe an otherwise anxious animal on the way to processing. Her designs address an animal’s field of vision and physical position relative to other animals, along with peripheral objects that may excite them. The designs are often highly curvilinear to minimize peripheral vision and convey a sense to the herding livestock that they are in fact returning home and not to the slaughter.

Perfect - Aerobics Dance scene
This scene is really really really long....I mean there is a good 5 minutes of thrusting. John Travolta is sooo into it!
Westboro Baptist Church Protest
The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is an independent Baptist church known for its extreme stance against homosexuality and its protest activities, which includes picketing funerals such as Christina Greens, the 9 yr old victim at the Arizona shooting. The church is widely described as a hate group and is monitored as such by the Anti-Defamation League andSouthern Poverty Law Center. It is headed by Fred Phelps and consists mostly of members of his large family, in 2007, it had 71 members. ( sample text, Wikipedia)
I think the real victim here are the children who participate in these hate protests. These images reminded me of girl i knew in High School. She was really very quit and kept to herself. She was really plain looking, dress mostly in sprot clothing and sported a short crops do. the whole look made it easy to mistake her for a kind of husky boy. One day i noticed a pin on her jersey, don't know why i asked about it. Not like i was the most out going then either. She told me it was for her youth group, it stood for Kindness, Karing, and Kindship.....KKK. She said it in such a calm, simple way that I didn't even register what she was saying at the time. Sometimes when that stuff is apart of your way of life, it just seems like just that a way of life. Like eating cereal in the morning or wearing a certain kind of socks. when you are young you don't take note of things sometimes in the same way you would as an adult. I always wonder about her now, as an adult.
East Bridge Anthem Big Flexx GTV.mp4
I am from East Hartford. As ghetto as this video is. It's kind of a true example of the town.
Be patient with the ridiculous amount of credits in the beginning. If you are from EH you get this video best, anyone else it might just be another amateur rap video.

Antichrist - Official Trailer
They were not kidding when critics said Antichrist is one of the most shocking movies to ever be seen at Cannes. It's really beautifully shot, the character and dialog intrigued me but it is very disturbing and not for everyone.I am not offended or intimidated by Lars Von Trier. He is a masterful fearless filmmaker. It took a lot of guts and trust for William Defoe and Charlotte Gainsburg to make this movie. Something about inspires because of that. That trust creative people can have for one another ...movies aren't made like this enough...sometime you have to ake something to the edge to get people thinking about doing something differently.
Mouth to Mouth - Trailer
One of my new favorite movies...not that you could watch it over and over again. but i was pretty blown away by it and Ellen Pages performance.

Trick Cinematography
Again, how are they doing this? This is a scene from I saw the Devil... How does the camera move around the space to get this 360 shot? are the walls being moved in and out or are they put in later in post in someway?
Trick Cinematography
I wish I paid better attention in film school...I have so many questions now about how they shoot things? Like this scene from Let Me In...how was this rigged? I know the camera is doing much of the implied movement but how are the objects flown around. is this done a lot simpler then i imagine?
