Full text not available from this repository.
We present an algorithm designed for navigating around a performance that was filmed as a "casual" multi-view video collection: real-world footage captured on hand held cameras by a few audience members. The objective is to easily navigate in 3D, generating a video-based rendering (VBR) of a performance filmed with widely separated cameras. Casually filmed events are especially challenging because they yield footage with complicated backgrounds and camera motion. Such challenging conditions preclude the use of most algorithms that depend on correlation-based stereo or 3D shape-from-silhouettes.Our algorithm builds on the concepts developed for the exploration of photo-collections of empty scenes. Interactive performer-specific view-interpolation is now possible through innovations in interactive rendering and offline-matting relating to i) modeling the foreground subject as video-sprites on billboards, ii) modeling the background geometry with adaptive view-dependent textures, and iii) view interpolation that follows a performer. The billboards are embedded in a simple but realistic reconstruction of the environment. The reconstructed environment provides very effective visual cues for spatial navigation as the user transitions between viewpoints. The prototype is tested on footage from several challenging events, and demonstrates the editorial utility of the whole system and the particular value of our new inter-billboard optimization.

How NASA Is Using WordPress to Promote Open Source Technologies
The National Aeronautic and Space Administration has been a leading global pioneer in science and technology since its inception in 1958, boldly going where no man has gone before. NASA has produced technology that has been adapted not only for the grandeur of space exploration but also for non-aerospace uses in the private sector, bringing us everything from the moon landing and GPS navigation to improved breast cancer testing procedures.
But did you know that NASA is also an active participant in the open source community?

NFL Betting Trends- NFC Futures Update
- Updated: October 20, 2012
NFL Betting Trends- NFC Futures Update
The 2012 NFL regular season is already six weeks old and the race for Super Bowl XLVII is well underway. This is a great time of the year to take a step back to see how the early results have impacted the futures odds for some of the favorites to make it to the title game from the NFC.
Using Bovada's latest odds, here is look at few NFC teams that the betting public has at the top of their list to represent the conference in this season's Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers started the season as 11/2 second-favorites to win the NFC and despite a couple of very shaky performances against Minnesota and the New York Giants have ascended to the top spot in the conference at 13/4. There is no real reason to think that the 49ers will not be in the thick of things come playoff time, but between now and then they are going to have to figure out how to play from behind. They completely folded in their two losses this season after giving-up the early lead.
Despite a perfect 6-0 start, the betting public is still not buying into the Atlanta Falcons 100 percent due to their past failures in the postseason. They are now the second-favorites at 7/2 to win the NFC after opening at 12/1, but you would think with a record like that the Falcons would have been prohibitive favorites. The one thing that is for sure is that the road to the NFC Championship game will most likely go through the Georgia Dome at least through the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Atlanta already has a 4.5-game lead in the NFC South and a 1.5-game lead over Chicago for the best record in the conference.
A bit of the luster may be gone from the Green Bay Packers after opening the season as 7/2 favorites to win the NFC but stumbling out to a very pedestrian 3-3 start. Do not be fooled by current appearances as this team still has every intention of tracking down the Bears for the division title and forcing at least one playoff game in Lambeau Field. Green Bay is now the third-favorite to win the conference at 9/2 and there is some tremendous value in those odds if this team can get things straightened out of the defensive side of the ball. There is no question that with Aaron Rodgers leading the show that the offense can still put a ton of points on the board.
Do not look now, but last season's Super Bowl Champions are making a strong move to the top of this season's leader board. Since no team has won back-to-back titles since New England's victories in 2004 and 2005 it was easy to see why the New York Giants opened the season at 10/1 get back to the big game. Through the first six weeks, they are 4-2 and now sporting 5/1 odds to win a second-straight NFC title. Much of this has to do with the incredible resiliency of this team and its quarterback Eli Manning. The word quit and most times lose just do not exist in his vocabulary making the Giants a legitimate threat to win anytime they take the field.
The final team on this short list is the Chicago Bears at 13/2. They opened the season at 9/1 and as a result of a 4-1 start have suddenly caught the eye of the betting public. Anytime you have a defense that is ranked second in the league in total yards allowed and first in points allowed, you have a chance to win quite a few games. The problem with the Bears is an offense that takes on the personality of its quarterback Jay Cutler. When he plays to his ability Chicago normally wins the game and when he falls back into an undisciplined style of play the Bears usually lose. This team will go as far as Cutler is able to take it.

Cardinal Ebomuche
Sweet lily, second to none in goodness and in grace,
I chose you from the cornucopia of cinnamons in my bouquet
As your streamlined looks keep me sedated
Your tender looks speaks of tales untold
Even "Bacchus'" palm wine cannot match the euphoria of your embrace
Ah! your luscious hips inspire me
And when tomorrow comes, we will wed
Beneath the cloudless climes I will hold you dear
And like the He-goat and cassava, I will treasure you,
For not to have loved you would have been treason against my heart !!!

CASTLETON CORNERS-Even before he graduated from Temple University Law School last week, Adam Tredwell-founder and co-owner of Vermont Vapor, Inc. of Castleton-was well on his way to being a successful entrepreneur. Tredwell's Rutland County business started with a simple solution for millions of tobacco smokers worldwide: how to enjoy smoking without the risk of inhaling cancer-causing smoke, tars and related by-products?
Tredwell, a Rutland High School Class of 1996 alumnus, developed his electronic cigarette, or e-cig, operation while still a college undergraduate.
The business evolved at his mother's suggestion; she wanted to quit smoking and had learned about unusual electronic devices manufactured in communist China (although the Chinese-made liquids vaporized by the e-cigs to form the ersatz smoke are of very dubious quality and content).
"You get the feeling of smoking without smoking," he said. "My Vermont-made content is clean water vapor with a little citric acid and natural flavoring." Tredwell and his mother, Linda Barker, manage the year-old corporation all by themselves.
For Tredwell, it took focus, a creative product idea (a much needed smoking alternative), a clever marketing plan, a user-friendly website, and a genuine Vermont storefront to establish the business. He had already decided to find an alternative to traditional smoking when he couldn't smoke during college exams. With all that now in place, Vermont Vapor is really-you should pardon the expression-smokin'!
Despite a fire last month that destroyed Vermont Vapor's rented
See VAPING, page 17
From page 1
e-liquid production space on Route 4 in Rutland Town, the company is back on track. Despite a local rumor, fire investigators found that the blaze started in an adjoining business; it had absolutely no connection to Vermont Vapor's operation.
Vermont Vapor's cozy retail shop at Castleton Corners has attracted e-cig fans from as far away as Montreal and Boston. In addition to the shop, a new laboratory and production facility will "rise from the ashes" adjacent to the outlet in mid June.

Well it looks like it's finally going down. The trade of R.A. Dickey to Toronto has its supporting cast, and has its extension. Now all it needs is its physical, and our Cy Young award winner is leaving us to go to maple leafier pastures. It's only a matter of time. I have talked on this blog about maximizing value. The Mets haven't been so good at it in the past. The Scott Kazmir trade was the most glaring example. Kazmir had the value of a number one prospect and didn't trade him for a 38-year-old Cy Young award winner. Not even close. Angel Pagan could have gotten dealt for a better haul after 2010 than he did after 2011. This one, they got right. Think about this: the Mets took an Omar Minaya scrap heap signing and turned him into two of the top prospects in all of baseball. Did anybody expect this when they first signed Dickey? Raise your hand if you did. Okay good, now go see a psychologist for your pathological lying. You take the information presented to you, and y...

Although I thought that was awful, placing that degree of guilt on 2 people already hung, drawn and quartered for the part they played in all this, I wouldn't say extortion, more the actions of an unstable woman who didn't want to live (let's not forget her previous failed suicide bids) and unfortunately allowed this incident to somehow 'justify' her taking her own life.
Mel Grieg in particular has borne the brunt of this and I hope she gets a satisfactory outcome from her case against the radio station.

It's official: these two are seriously adorable. The kind of adorable that warms your heart and leaves you smiling for the entire afternoon. Mix that with a breathtaking autumn wedding featuring beautiful details styled to perfection by Touched by Angels and it's almost too good to be true. See every stunning image captured by DeRay & Simcoe right here.
From the Bride… We first met at my office almost three years ago. I had just come back from post-graduate study in London and Matthew had just moved to Jakarta for work. I showed him around Jakarta, introduced him to my family and friends and took him to the hospital (several times) for his upset tummy. In short, it was love at first sight and we are very lucky to have found each other at the right time.
Despite living and working in Jakarta, we decided to have our wedding in Perth (Matthew's hometown). We are so grateful that our wedding preparation was very smooth. I bought the first wedding dress that I tried on and Matthew's mum and sister helped us find all the right vendors that created our dream wedding. My parents were very supportive of our decisions and enjoyed seeing all the Indonesian decorations, gifts, sweets and photobooth props that we incorporated into our wedding.
The main motif for our wedding was a traditional Javanese 'loro blonyo' statue. 'Loro blonyo' roughly translates into 'The Inseperable Couple'. This statue is still common in many family homes in Indonesia and it represents prosperity, happy marriage and fertility. We incorporated this motif into our invitations, menus, cufflink gifts and even our dance floor.
Our wedding day was warm and happy and filled with laughter. We had over 100 guests from Indonesia who took time off work and traveled a long way to be there. No words can describe how much it meant to us to share our day with our closest family and friends.
People ask me what we would do differently for our wedding day. My answer is nothing – our wedding day was perfect in its own way and we are blessed to have and to hold each other.
From DeRay & Simcoe… The couple decided to hold their wedding back in Matthew's hometown but Tia had never actually been to a western style wedding while she was planning her own! She spent hours scouring blogs such as Style Me Pretty to find inspiration for her own wedding. They wanted the day to be the coming together of the two different cultures and feature lots of Indonesian design details as well as a traditional Catholic ceremony.
They chose Aquinas College chapel as the ceremony venue as it had sentimental value to Matthew's family. His father was the principal there when Matthew was a boy so he grew up on the school grounds. The distinctive red brick buildings were a beautiful backdrop for the autumn leaves.
The State Reception Centre in King's Park was the natural choice for their reception, situated high up in the gum tree canopy with it's iconic views overlooking the city skyline.
They kept the strong family theme by selecting Matthew's sister Amanda for the bridesmaid and Tia's brother Danny as the best man.
Tia's exquisite lace dress and mantilla veil suited her petite frame perfectly, and Jimmy Choos completed the look. Matthew brought a few quirky touches to the wedding such as his handmade wooden bowtie sourced on a trip to visit his brother in New York.
They had many guests travel to attend the wedding from Indonesia and hired a wedding planner from The Original Wedding Company just to help coordinate them. This ensured the overseas guests had a wonderful time without having to worry about travel on the wedding day etc.
Matthew and Tia were so in love and it was such a pleasure to be part of this unique wedding. They put a lot of care and consideration into making sure their diverse range of guests had a wonderful time on the day.

Unlike other breast cancers, inflammatory breast cancer may not cause
a lump in the breast. Instead, it may cause the breast to be swollen, red, and
warm. The skin of the breast may look thick and pitted, like an orange peel.
The nipple may become inverted, or it may sink inward. Talk to your doctor if you
notice changes in the way your breast looks or feels.

NACCIMA demands revival of ministerial quarterly meeting
THE Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mine and Agriculture, NACCIMA has demanded the restoration of the ministerial quarterly meeting between the Minister of Trade and Investment and the Organised Private Sector (OPS).
According to the Director General, NACCIMA, Mr John Isemede, "The ministerial quarterly meeting with the OPS should be kept alive. Aganga has capable hands; he has directors and he has a deputy which is Dr Samuel Ortom. Even if he is not available, Ortom can cover up for him."
Answering questions on the performance of the Trade and Investment ministry, he said: "Aganga is performing. We met with him on July 27 last year at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) and he made a lot of promises. First and foremost, I have to tell you Aganga is delivering on his promises.
"He came from the Ministry of Finance as the Finance Minister. And while he was there, we cried out and the first thing he did was he supported the bailout for SMEs and all that and the money that was given, N200 billion here and N500 billion there, under two weeks, this money was accessed by members of the OPS.
"One thing I can assure you is that the money that was given to the SMEs and agriculture is not money for importation of goods and services, it is money for the revival of our own industrial base and if you now look at the industrial sector, it is not just buying and selling. So what Dr. Aganga had done in the Ministry of Finance is what he is building on in the Trade and Investment Ministry. "And if you look at it, Dr Aganga's Ministry has 18 parastatals.
Corporate Affairs Commission, Bank of Industry is under that ministry, so is NIPC, NEPC, etc. But how much is the budget given to the ministry vis-à-vis other ministries that don't have much parastatals under them. Look at the manpower and the equipment in that ministry you would know that Dr Aganga is doing a good job."
It will be recalled that more than eight months ago, Aganga met with the leaders of the OPS in Lagos promised to be having regular interactive sessions with the OPS quarterly, to actively involve them on official foreign trips and other initiatives aimed at attracting investments.
He also told the OPS that his administration will focus on attracting local and foreign investment, deepening trade and aggressive growth of SMEs.

|Reviews for My Sweet Persephone
| Zerousy chapter 16 . 7/3
Well I'm surprised its updated but I'm not going to bitch about the lack of updating because I'd be one to talk. But yay for the update
| c c chapter 15 . 6/26
Update soon
| Ana-Shadow-Wolf chapter 15 . 1/5
Okay, this HAS to be one of the GREATEST fics I've ever read, not only of Hellraiser, but of all fics. I admit, when the angels appeared, I got nervous because I've read a lot of fics that just bash, distort and twist Heaven and God. I'm happy to see that you did a perfect work here, not making them out as villains and speaking of balance among light and dark. PERFECT! I just hope, truly hope, that Kirsty and Pinhead will be reunited. Another thing, congrats on their relationship. I read a lot of fics that just turn Kirsty into a mindless slave or worse. Here, though attracted to Pinhead, she is still a good person and has her inner strength, also being conflicted about her feelings, so I can REALLY see she acting like that.
I hope to see more chapters soon! This is great!
| The newbie phan chapter 15 . 11/12/2014
OOOOOOH MYYYYY GOOOOOSH I LOVED IT! Your portrayal, the plot, the characterization, comic relief, even the diction put into this story is amazing and just the fact that I found a story more than three chapters ling comes as a gargantuan relief to your's truly. I adore this fanfic! PLEEEEAAAASE continue soon!
-your obiedient servant,
| Ryuno chu chapter 8 . 10/11/2014
I love the image of Pinhead sleeping. I hope we get more of that.
| Ryuno chu chapter 7 . 10/11/2014
Damn. This is so twisted, but I like how you keep it in character. I would however not be opposed to a rare bit of tenderness.
| V chapter 1 . 9/6/2014
I love this story;D
Please update...:(
| Guest chapter 15 . 8/21/2014
Good story. I hope you continue.
| Courtroom Artist chapter 15 . 8/14/2014
Read this one end-to-end in an afternoon. I like it! Have subscribed to your newsletter. ;)
Something you might note is that the more sensory detail you give, the more you can draw the reader in. Grab a copy of Dante's _Inferno_ (I like the Ciardi translation for English; can't speak for other languages) and take a close look at the way the environment is described, when the author chooses to bother with it. For all the formality and archaism, it gives a vivid picture.
| guest chapter 15 . 7/8/2014
Please update I love this story so much!
| LJ1983 chapter 15 . 7/4/2014
Aww, what a sweet little update. Short, but definitely sweet. :) Interesting to see how their connection hasn't broken, despite the distance. Hopefully they shall be reunited. Can't wait for the next chapter. :)
| Zerousy chapter 15 . 6/29/2014
I enjoyed this chapter
| Kendra Iscariette chapter 14 . 6/29/2014
Fabulous story, thank you.
| PLLML chapter 14 . 5/31/2014
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't control my fangirling! sorry about that lol this was wonder I love this so much! 3
| Nerd91 chapter 13 . 5/25/2014
it's about time...
all good things to those who wait and this was extremely good. Poor leviathan laid low by a single pin from Pinhead's own head. Oh well time for a new King I suppose. I wonder if he'll re-decorate like more pins here and there maybe have Angelique paint some of the darker halls a blinding bright pink just to mess with the souls of the damned. Chatterer could start having 'Friday Night Bingo Pain Tournaments."
very well worth the wait.
Please continue...
bloodiest of regards,

Haha So first i'd like to say i haven't been around a better Wrestling Fanbase pretty much since 1999. Miami was off the chain from Wednesday all the way to the Miami Heat game haha. However its not locals that made this such a crowed on fire it was a gathering of pure wrestling fans with incredible knowledge of the business from all over the world and let me tell you that is a lot better then going to a small arena filled with a bunch of kids cheering for Cena every Monday. Im going to tell everyone a little about each day maybe it will help some people if your planning on going to NJ next year which i will be going as well. Now this is more for the hunting superstars down fans kinda like myself haha I do not recommend the Art and Fashion Show btw so i wont be talking about it. First: On your first day i'd recommend finding out where these guys are staying the reason being is because there will probably only be about 20 people there and you will have way more success getting Signatures and Pics with your favorite stars. This is what i do and it is a great plan. The only thing is there will always be a couple of ass hole fans that will piss guys off and will ruin it for everyone else. Example: a large group of guys would yell and curse at some of the wrestlers and pissed off Big Show and he turned around and let them know how he felt about it, also the same group called Punk a pussy for not signing which led to getting nothing from him. Also remember that even though you are there to get autographs and most are more then willing and happy to do it, there are some that will refuse that doesn't mean follow them and heckle them just ask nicely either they sign or they don't and if they don't leave them be, and some will tell you i will sign when i come back and that what they will do. Example: Orton came out talked to us and jumped over the guardrail to go walk down the street and eat. I went up to him and asked him nicely and he replied and nice as could be saying "Not right now buddy" and i said ok thanks and walked away that's all you have to do. Now there are some "Douches" that are not nice in anyway shape or form and 2 of those are Bre Bella and Maryse. Maryse called everyone idiots for taking pics of her from the guardrails and that was after she said with a smart ass attitude i will sign when i come back and then wouldn't even sign for a kid that was wearing a Maryse shirt. So stay away from her lol and Bre would just stare at you and walk away without even saying a word. Second: If going to the Hotel is a little uncomfortable for you or you want to have some fun and still be surrounded with wrestlemania events then Axxess is the way to go. On top of the Autographs they have the live matches and all kinds of other activities its a great place to go. The Cena Nation area with a wall climb, Trivia and ring full of sponges that you can jump into. Its fun for the kids and fun for the Adults too haha The Hall of Fame area is great because they have costumes, pictures, artwork, clothes, cars and other stuff from Legendary superstars that are either in the HOF or will eventually be inducted into the HOF and other things that have been used in classic matches that stick out in the minds of wrestling fans. Takers Graveyard This area is really cool. Its a graveyard they build that contains all the tombstones of the superstars Taker has taken out at Mania. Along with some used caskets from matches he has been involved with and even a hearse that was used on Mr. Kennedy. There are several areas to get pictures like Takers Thrown, His embalming table, usually a empty plot that will hold the next superstar he faces at mania and Paul Bearers photo area. Maker your own Entrance With all the lights and stage along with the music and video from some of your favorite stars then download and ad it to Youtube or whatever else you want to do with it. There are also some other areas such as the National Guard area where you do some cool stuff like play games or do work outs to get some small prizes. Personally i go all 4 days only getting GA and not VIP Lines a usually long you will want to get there at least 2 hours early if you want to get more then 2 or 3 autographs in 4 hours time. Third: Of course you want Mania Tickets. This is the show of the year and you see and get to experience the magic that is Wrestlemania. I can promise you if you are a wrestling fan this show will put you over the top. Nothing compares to being there live and its almost surreal. Monday Night Raw : Get tickets for Monday after. All the years of mania the Raw after is for the most part the better Raw of the year. It usually continues feuds, consists of epic returns, great debuts and and maybe you get to see the match up that headlines next years mania. Now im going to comment on Mania it self as it was a great show. However; i know how many people love to hate on it regardless of how good it was people feel the need to whine as if someone forced them to watch it and most either didnt pay to watch it and streamed it or just read the coverage and still think there opinion means something haha. Bryan vs Sheamus Mania started off with a ton of fan hype for Bryan and Sheamus this was a match that the fans most wanted to see in Miami besides the HIAC and Rock vs Cena. Every day i was in Miami for Axxess, the match everyone talked about was Bryan vs Sheamus and the Yes! Yes! Yes! chants rang out even while we stood inline for autographs, interview, the hotel, waiting for Mainia to open up. So to me it was a huge slap in the face that the 2 guys that were bumped last year for a Celebrity match was reduced to a 18 second match for again another stupid waste of time Celebrity match. So that is my big rant on this show because i really was disappointed in this and it pretty much pissed everyone else off in the building because up until the HIAC match we were chanting Daniel Bryan. Kane vs Orton I enjoyed this match it didn't steal the show but it was a good match. Orton losing to Kane was good i liked that i hope these guys continue the feud i think they can put on a good long last entertaining feud. I must also admit that crowed was pro Orton which i didn't expect i thought it would be split. Cody vs Show Good solid match again didnt steal the show but it was a match for Show since he had been the biggest loser at Mania for years. However i was very aggravated they took the belt off Rhodes and again the crowed was not all that happy either about the outcome but still the match was pretty solid. Team Teddy vs Johnny I was very much a Team Johnny fan because of the young Talent they had, Ziggler, Miz, D-Mac those guys are incredibly gifted and Teddy just isnt interesting to me and him winning wouldn't help anything. However i was a little confused as was most of the crowed we all thought Miz got pinned and yet the Match continued and lucky for me Miz won the match. The only thing wrong with this is that it wasn't an elimination match and it was too chaotic to fallow in the crowed. Divas and Celebrity match im not talking about because it was a waste of everyone's time regardless if it wasnt as bad as the snookie match or not. End of an Era Well im pretty sure this was the best way to end Takers career he was in great shape he moved well and the match stole the show. It had us all on the edge of our seats and even me being a huge Triple H fan i couldn't be mad at how this all ended up. Just an epic clash of 2 of the best ever and having Mr. HOF involved didn't hurt either. Jericho vs Punk Another solid match didn't have everything i wanted out of it but hell who can complain about such a wrestle heavy match it was classic. Punk winning was good i was alittle surprised that the crowed was not more split then it was but thats good for Punk he is still over and what happened on Raw the next night was icing on the cake. Brodus F'n Clay hell yes! It was a little long but everyone in the crowed including myself was very into it and the placement of the match was perfect. Rock vs Cena What an epic match if you didn't like this match just quit watching. The crowed was incredible and Cena did a hell of a job going toe to toe with Rocky. The love that Rock got from his home town was incredible and something im sure Mr. Cena would love to have from his own home town. The match was very solid and the ending was perfect because had Rock lost to Cena i would still be watching every week but i wouldn't be buying the merch and paying a ton to go to Manias and other live wwe events again for a very long time. They are starting to turn Cena into a human being and not a superhero which is good. It was a classic match nothing over the top But ALL HAIL ROCKY!! So over all id give a 8 out of 10 stars and it was amazing being apart of mania week again. Thanks for reading and have a great week guys YES!! YES!! YES!! ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?41336-Returning-Home-after-Mania-Week The Major Flaw with The WWF/WWE Championship? http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?41170-The-Major-Flaw-with-The-WWF-WWE-Championship Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:27:10 GMT Hi guys this would be the second blog I have done this week and I look to stir the pot a little here and see what happens. Now for years i have... Hi guys this would be the second blog I have done this week and I look to stir the pot a little here and see what happens. Now for years i have been wondering when the WWE will crown an African American WWE Champion. This has bothered me quite a bit. If you look through the 90's and today WWF/WWE has had many Great African American professional singles wrestlers. Now many will probably say "The Rock" was the first African American WWE Champion which I would love to agree with but he is mixed and is American Samoan according to his birth record. So i'm not sure you can call him the First not that WWE ever has. Mark Henry Dee Low Brown Ron Simmons Shelton Benjamin R-Truth/ Kwik / Ron Killings The Godfather Bobby Lashley and perhaps 2 of the most capable were Ahmed Johnson: He was a major power house was pretty well skilled, had decent mic skill and had the build of a WWF Champion, But even after becoming the First WWE IC Champion he never got any further then stuck in the middle of the Mid Card and Main Event Status. This is unfortunate for me because i was a huge Johnson fan and he clearly deserved to be put in the Main event for the WWF Championship even if it was a short "Miz or Del Rio like" run. Booker T:Now there is absolutely no reason for Booker not to have been crowned a WWE Champion. This guy paid his dues in WCW and WWF/E and won the World Heavyweight Championship, World Tag Team Championships, WCW World Tag Team Championships, Intercontinental Championship; United States Championship; WCW World Television Championship; Hardcore Championship; 2006 King of the Ring. Now tell me with a resume like that and being one of the all time most successful wrestlers in history why isnt Booker T a former WWE Champion? He had it all in ring ability, Mic Skills, a great character along with a huge following of fans and a great mind for the business. I have heard Booker say on many occasions that his biggest regret is never holding the WWE Championship which to WWE is the holy grail of the company. Now im not trying to hate on WWE most know im a huge WWE sympathizer and fan. But we have all heard the rumblings of maybe some Racism behind the scenes. Michael Hayes the reason Bobby Lashley and Krystal left for rumored verbal very racist assaults on Bobby and Krystal which im sure doesn't go along with the B.A.Star Campaign. Now something says to me that something must change within the WWE. John Cena never counted as an African american BTW. So i guess i ask all of you am i wrong? Is this ok? Do you count Rock as the first WWF/E Champion? Out of all the things WWE has done to make me kinda make a face and say wow not sure this is a good thing. This has been a major flaw within WWE for years in my eyes. Ok so i was just bringing to light a subject i feel pretty strongly about and ask how some of you guys feel on this very subject and i wanna know am i wrong about this? Have a great day guys be safe. ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?41170-The-Major-Flaw-with-The-WWF-WWE-Championship WMania 27, Vince Senile? PG vs Attitude, Fanbases. http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?41161-WMania-27-Vince-Senile-PG-vs-Attitude-Fanbases Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:15:40 GMT Hey Guys!!! 7 Days till my yearly trip to Mania week!!!

If you have never been to a mania week and enjoyed the events i would encourage you to do so if you are able to. And i'm uploading over 100 pics from mania 27 last year on my profile so go check that out! Ok so the first thing im going to address is the "Vince Is Senile" comments that i see quite a bit. Here is how it is, WWE is a Corporation a large company that has many share holders and people that Vince IS FORCED TO MAKE HAPPY!!! I'm not sure many understand that but that's the fact. WWE lost a lot of money after the Benoit fiasco and caught a ton of blame and criticism after this happened. Share Holders were upset the company started losing a bit of money. Since then we have seen many thing disappear exp: Chair shots to the head, Blood and things of that nature. WWE has eyes on it and more then ever before the media is sitting by to jump on them and rip them apart and even TNA was attacked after the Benoit crap. Like it or not WWE is the corner stone of wrestling and anything negative that happens within WWE such as drugs, steroids, deaths at fairly young ages all effect the WHOLE Wrestling Business including TNA, ROH and other well known organizations that are in the MONEY MAKING Business. Now i guess people tend to ignore all the Vince is unhappy articles that come out every so often. Vince is unhappy that the talent pool is at the lowest point i think anyone has ever seen and there isn't many stars within the company that are as motivated and willing to do anything for the business and create stars out of themselves. The performers now rely heavily on the writers to create everything you see on television today where as before the last maybe 10 years performers were willing to be themselves and do whatever it took to become something special and be remembered forever. I gotta tell you i can't remember many matches over the last 10 years that absolutely stick out as a memorable moments. None of this is Vince's fault or the writers fault. This is a lack of confidence with in each of the superstars minds. None of these guys are as confident in there abilities as previous historic superstars, and as STONE COLD said in an article not too long ago most of them are not wrestling fans. They are there for money which you can't blame them for that but you can hold them responsible for the way WWE has become predictable and for some none entertaining. However honestly if you are uninterested and bored of the product don't complain just don't watch anymore and let the people that still enjoy the business, enjoy it. So im saying the difference between PG and Attitude is pure talent and love for the business which isn't what we have today. I could go on and on on those subjects, but not on here i tried to shorten things down. Ill talk about the fanbase pretty quickly here. There are a ton of fans that take everything that happens behind the scenes that we read about very personal. I gotta say this is why i think that fans reading these sites such as this one have ruined the business. I enjoy all of these sites because i like to read about the things happening in the everyday life of wrestlers. I don't take things that happen personal and i don't cry about it every week while saying "I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS AGAIN". Its very unentertaining to watch the same people that Wish the Attitude era would come back and the Taker, Jericho, Trips, Rock, HBK, Nash, all come back and yet we hear the same thing "I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS AGAIN". Now if it is so bad then why continue to watch or worry yourself about it? why not just quit watching and reading about something you hate so much? I think what it is, is that many have grown out of wrestling and even if WWE was to go totally back to the way it was those same people wouldn't like it then either. Wrestling has slightly changed but it is back to the Hogan era except now Cena is our Hogan, Punk is our Macho Man, Ryder is our Honky Tonk Man, Khali is our Andre, Ziggler is our Young Shawn Michaels lol the business goes in circles and it will come back around to a bunch of guys that want to change the company like the stars of the Attitude era but right now this is what we got either deal with it or just turn it to something else that's what remotes were made for ;) haha. Ok so that's all i wanted to say in this blog its more of a slight rant but i hope some of you guys enjoy. Have a great one! http://www.facebook.com/eric.champion2 https://twitter.com/#!/eric_champion ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?41161-WMania-27-Vince-Senile-PG-vs-Attitude-Fanbases Top 50 OMG Review http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?39541-Top-50-OMG-Review Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:28:53 GMT First I'll say this DVD is pretty good but had some moments that never should have been on the list and moments that should have been thought of... First I'll say this DVD is pretty good but had some moments that never should have been on the list and moments that should have been thought of immediately for the list. I always find it so odd that people forget about these moments that I will list below and I wonder how these guys chose their list. However it is still a great DVD and I am very happy Stone Cold was on the list countless times. #50-Seeing Double – 5th February, 1988: Hogan gets screwed by the twin Hebner and Million Dollar Man Surly no one believes this is an OMG moment. # 45-Cena's Feat of Strength – 5th April, 2009: This was miss because it also shows edge fall off Big shows back leaving Cena only lifting Big Show. That in it self is incredible but acting like he did something special was surprising because he had already FU'ed Show at Wrestlemania XX. # 39 – Tim White Tries to End it All: I love these moments they were some of the stupidest moments ive ever seen haha. For those that don't know this was a series of videos showing Tim White trying to commit suicide but he sucked so bad he never could do it right lol still to me not an OMG Moment. # 34 -Haiti Kid Gets Haircut – 7th March, 1986: Another Miss honestly this was not an OMG moment it should have been on the top 50 racist moments in wwe History along with not yet having an African American WWE Champion in the History of this company. # 25 – Snitsky Punts Baby – 8th November, 2004: Just another stupid/funny moment nothing special and it shouldn't be on the list. There are some other moments I that im "ify" on but ill stick with these that should never have made it on the list. Now I would like to remind some people about Moments that should have made it on the list. The Undertaker Sacrifices Dennis Knight WWF Raw January 11, 1999: For those who don't remember this was the night Undertaker Cuts his wrist and lets the blood run into a cup making Dennis Knight (AKA Mideon) drink it. This whole segment should be number 1 or 2 in my opinion. Video Link Below: Val Venis getting his penis cut off: Not sure what the date is on this but this was a must OMG moment yet they missed it. Even though the next week he showed that he was perfectly fine lol. Other Moments include Shawn Michaels Elbow on Vince: Triple H Katie Vick: The List is below if you want to know the results. # 50 – Seeing Double – 5th February, 1988 # 49 – Nexus is Here – 7th June, 2010 # 48 – Chokeslam to Hell – 7th June, 1999 # 47 – Backlot Brawl – 31st March, 1996 # 46 – Wedding Surprise – 7th September, 1991 # 45 – Cena's Feat of Strength – 5th April, 2009 # 44 – Concrete Crypt – 27th June, 2004 # 43 – DX Invades WCW – 27th April, 1998 # 42 – Dumpster Stage Dive – 2nd February, 1998 # 41 – Grocery Store Attack – 13th December, 2001 # 40 – Triple H Meets Escalator – 8th February, 1997 # 39 – Tim White Tries to End it All # 38 – Bischoff – New Raw GM – 15th July, 2002 # 37 – Orton Thumbtacks – 18th April, 2004 # 36 – Unholy Wedding – 26th April, 1999 # 35 – Mad Dog Vachon Loses Leg – 28th April, 1996 # 34 – Haiti Kid Gets Haircut – 7th March, 1986 # 33 – Hospital Visiting Hours – 5th October, 1998 # 32 – Jarrett Plays a Number with Moolah – 9th September, 1999 # 31 – Edge Cashes in Money in the Bank – 8th January, 2006 # 30 – Got Milk ? – 20th August, 2001 # 29 – Kiss My Ass Club # 28 – Jeff Hardy Pyro Gone Bad – 16th January, 2009 # 27 – Austin Blows Up DX Bus – 27th April, 2000 # 26 – Wedding in Vegas – 29th November, 1999 # 25 – Snitsky Punts Baby – 8th November, 2004 # 24 – Concrete Corvette – 12th October, 1998 # 23 – Snake Bites Macho Man – 23rd November, 1991 # 22 – Shane McMahon, Daredevil – 27th August, 2000 # 21 – Barber Shop Window – 11th January, 1992 # 20 – Edge Spears Jeff – 1st April, 2001 # 19 – Kane sets JR on Fire – 14th July, 2003 # 18 – Stone Cold Stuns Mr. McMahon – 22nd September, 1997 # 17 – Kurt and Shane Battle – 24th June, 2001 # 16 – Jeff Swanton off Tron – 14th January, 2008 # 15 – Edge Spears Foley – 2nd April, 2006 # 14 – Stone Cold Zamboni – 28th September, 1998 # 13 – Piper hits Snuka with Coconut – 17th July, 1984 # 12 – WWE buys WCW – 26th March, 2001 # 11 – Unbreakable Mae Young # 10 – Big Show's Father's Funeral – 11th November, 1999 # 9 – Montreal Screwjob – 9th November, 1997 # 8 – Big Show and Brock Lesnar Break Ring – 12th June, 2003 # 7 – Tyson and Austin – 19th January, 1998 # 6 – Mr. McMahon's Limo Blows Up – 11th June, 2007 # 5 – Sable Handprints – 26th July, 1998 # 4 – Snuka Off the Steel Cage – 17th October, 1983 # 3 – Pillman's Got a Gun – 4th November, 1996 # 2 – Beer Bath – 22nd March, 1999 # 1 – Mankind thrown off Cell – 28th June, 1998 ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?39541-Top-50-OMG-Review http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?33742-N-O-C-Raw-the-following-night-WWE-DVD-s-and-Wrestlemania-28 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:36:06 GMT Hey Guys just want to talk about a few different things involving WWE Live Events, Dvd's, Wrestlemania, ROH Coming to CW network. First ill start... Hey Guys just want to talk about a few different things involving WWE Live Events, Dvd's, Wrestlemania, ROH Coming to CW network. First ill start with a Review of several WWE dvd's I have watched over the last few days. The John Cena Experience: This is an excellent dvd to watch if you want to peek into the travel and hard work it takes to be at the level Cena is at. Its not a biography DVD such as interviews with family, friends and other superstars talking about what he was like as a kid and where he went to elementary school. I have always loved to look into the life of these guys on the road so I've been begging for a DVD like this for a long time. There are several spots I fast forward through though they consist of him filming an episode of "Psych" his filming of "Legendary" and his Recording of the new John Cena song for "Legendary" The Highlights: Tribute to the Troops, Wrestlemania Week, and John Cena on Fiesta Bowl. Wrestlemania week was incredible and my favorite part was when he had to sign 3000 pictures of himself to sell at the souvenir areas at Wrestlemania and it was amazing. The True Story of Wrestlemania: As a major WWE fan or "Mark" I loved this DVD. The story was amazing of how it came to be and how much went into the show. Even noting that Vince put so much money into the event that if it hadn't have succeeded we would not have WWE around today. Great backstage video, old video of the first Axxess, and it talks about each Wrestlemania in order. Just amazing stuff that went into this Wrestlemania Project every year and the stories from Mean Gene, Howard Finkle, Gerald Briscoe, Million Dollar Man, Hulk Hogan, Chris Jericho, Triple H and the list goes on. Must have for a WWE fan. Randy Orton Evolution Of a Predator: This one was good not great. He talks about everything from him going "A wall" from the Marines and his terrible attitude and the hate for him in the locker room when he was younger while even going into his major drug abuse. This is a Bio going all the way back to when he was born. The also follow him on the road leading up to Wrestlemania 27. So like I said good but not great. John Cena My Life: Eh this is pretty boring not really a great dvd. Talks about stories when he was a little kid and his love for the business. Interviews from his dad, friends, and family like I said pretty boring. Best of Monday Night Nitro: Pretty nice to look back and see some of the moments that really pushed WCW im sure we all remember most of them. If you watch the DVD for quality matches find another DVD. The matches are very sloppy and make you wonder if it wasn't for "Now" they probably wouldn't have made a big impact. Actually I'd say TNA is a much better quality product if you compare the 2 companies. Still nice to see the stuff that made most of us wrestling fans during the Wars though. Now lets talk about the latest PPV Night of Champions: Al lot of people are hating the ppv not sure why However I do know that 70% of those that complained didn't order the PPV in the first place so how can you read results and hate on the product that you didn't pay for or watch in the first place? To those people your opinion doesn't matter until you actually watch it. It was a quality show other then the Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly match. Most complained about Cena being champion which normally I would agree, but come on guys we all knew this was going to happen. The match was good between he and Del Rio but I am fully aware the outcome is what struck a nerve. I have learned not to complain so much because when he retires we may be saying "damn as much as I hated the guy I sure do miss him every week". Randy Orton and Henry was surprisingly well done. I always expect the worst in a Mark Henry match mostly because we have been forced to watch giant unathletic superstars that usually cant put on a good match. However he seems to be very solid for such a large guy and can have a good match with anyone that has the ability to have a good match. I was amazed at the response from the fans that supported the New Heavyweight Champion mostly because just several months ago the same fans were outraged that he was getting a push? For those people I'd say keep your comments to yourself until after the results. Good Match good rivalry. Not even going to talk about the Phoenix vs. Kelly match. We all know what the outcome should've been and no disrespect to Kelly Kelly but it was a slap in the face to everyone that is awaiting the Divas Division to improve. WWE is single handedly handicapping their selves by keeping these gorgeous models with no wrestling ability the faces of the Division. The Tag Team Division is slowly improving although it seems the ability to come up with good tag team names are no where to be seen haha. Air Boom deserves the Titles. Although I was really wanting Miz and Truth to win. Again great match. Along with the referee beat down which I found amusing as hell and once again proving Truth and Miz are 2 of the most entertaining superstars in the business today. Punk/Trips: excellent match I am extremely happy that Triple H can still put on amazing matches. The story between Triple H and Punk also involving the "New Corporation" as I would call it has been great. The "run ins" were great although once again many people complained (imagine that). The outcome was good and I find it very fascinating that no matter how many times Punk loses he still loses no steam. Anyone with a brain realizes this is exactly how Stone Cold was. He was screwed on a regular basis and we still loved him because being screwed was exactly what all of his rivalries were built around. WWE has done a great job with this story line and in the words of CM Punk on ESPN "I wish everyone would shut their mouths and enjoy the ride". Lets go now to Raw Good show except once again Kelly Kelly wins again. The Beginning was pretty fun Trips and Punk are fun to watch and now throwing Laurenitis, Nash, Truth and Miz all in the same story is extremely fun. The squash match with Morrison and Del Rio was amazing. I am not a fan of Morrison and therefore I love to watch the guy lose. I feel as I have always said he is a Midcard and deserves to stay there. He doesn't have any Main Event quality shows no ability to become innovative and never will become a "Ring General". The Main Event was not at all what I wanted mainly because of the Friendly showing between Punk and Cena. You can push Punk without turning him into a fan friendly tool I promise. However this will surly somehow be like The Rock when he would show a baby face side and then the next week he is turning heel. Triple H firing Miz and Truth happened in such a funny way. Because it was so blunt and quick then Triple H just walks off haha. I liked that they are doing all they can do to make this look real with the "Release article" on WWE.com. This will all come together at Hell In a Cell im sure. ROH: I am ecstatic for ROH to come to TV. I haven't ever followed the product and I look for something new and fun. I do know they have a ton of talent on that roster. So this could be the Competition we are looking for because lets face it TNA isn't going anywhere fast. Wrestlemania: Im heading to Miami this year to once again be apart of Wrestlemania week. My first thought is never have it in Miami again the place is terrible. My second thought is who will be VIP Superstars at Axxess. Punk wasn't last year and it shocked the hell out of me and Im glad I jumped into the very short line to get my WWE Championship Signed. Will The Rock be signing? Will Shawn Michaels be signing? And will WWE miss the chance to make Cena VS Rock, and Austin VS Punk all in the same show. Some part of me believes next year Maina will be in Austin Texas and Austin vs. Punk will be the headliner. Your Thoughts? Have a great day guys! ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?33742-N-O-C-Raw-the-following-night-WWE-DVD-s-and-Wrestlemania-28 Wrestlemania 28 Dream Matches: Using Current Rosters http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?1829-Wrestlemania-28-Dream-Matches-Using-Current-Rosters Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:04:58 GMT Using Current Rosters: Bringing Back Jericho I'm bringing back the Cruiserweight Championship giving the small talent something to fight for... Using Current Rosters: Bringing Back Jericho I'm bringing back the Cruiserweight Championship giving the small talent something to fight for other then being squashed every night. And turning the "Divas Championship" back to the "Women's Championship" 1. Daniel Bryan VS Evan Bourne (Cruiserweight Championship): Evan being the "high flyer" and Daniel being the "wrestler" I feel it would be a great mix of styles. No heel turns for either one just a good wrestling match and let the fans decide who they want to win without the writers telling you who you should like or dislike. WINNER: Daniel Bryan 2. Beth Phoenix VS Kharma VS Natalya (Women's Championship): Getting rid of the models and putting real wrestlers in a championship match would be nice. Kharma and Beth being the heels. WINNER: Kharma 3. Alex Riley VS Dolph Ziggler VS John Morrison VS R Truth (US Championship): Fatal 4 Way, Good Talent, Good wrestling ability just a good match all around I would think. WINNER: Alex Riley 4. Rey Mysterio VS Sin Cara: We all want to see this match go down why wait longer then Wrestlemania 28? Nothing on the line in this match it should be all about the ability of these 2 in the ring. WINNER: Sin Cara 5. Wade Barrett VS Drew McIntyre VS Cody Rhodes VS Ezekiel Jackson (IC Championship): All three guys deserve to shine at Mania. Drew especially after being beaten night in and night out for the last several months. WINNER: Drew McIntyre 6. Miz VS Chris Jericho: This match would be a dream come true because both are so much a like and Both are great heels. I say Heel VS Heel match. WINNER: Chris Jericho 7. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel VS David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty VS The Uso's VS Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins (Tag Team Championships): Elimination Tag Match. All 3 teams are very good some better then others but all 4 teams have great athletic ability. Btw WWWYKI WINNER: Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins 8. Undertaker VS Sheamus (The Streak): I personally hate the streak. Having a Streak in pro wrestling should be an absolute no no. An Undertaker match at Mania is totally useless. We all know who is winning no shockers I do not care how good the match ends up being. The only way to make the streak worth something is for a young talent to be put over and shock the world. WINNER: Sheamus 9. Randy Orton VS Christian VS Del Rio(World Heavyweight Championship): Good Match not the best but these 3 could put together a great story for Mania. Moving Del Rio back to Smackdown giving them a Main Event star Because the next 2 matches will be what Raw is all about for several months. WINNER: Christian 10. CM Punk VS Steve Austin: Dream Match everyone wants this match if you're a pure wrestling fan and I would be amazed if this happened. WINNER: CM Punk 11. Cena VS The Rock(WWE Championship): Again Dream match most want to see it. Attitude VS PG. WINNER: The Rock ]]> EricChampion http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/entry.php?1829-Wrestlemania-28-Dream-Matches-Using-Current-Rosters

Never ask for permission to do something remarkable
For most of our childhoods, adults and our parents dictated what we did most of the day. If we wanted to try something out of the norm, we needed their approval and permission. Party due to the "do this, do that" nature of schooling, we become acclimated to an domain where we don't like to do new things, but rather stick in our shell of expertise. Too many people never leave that mindset. In addition, the No. 3 regret of the dying is "I wish I'd the courage to express my feelings." We have to stop waiting on the world to change.
Take Richard Brason. He was miles away from a stellar student. Since he had dyslexia, he could not comprehend any of his schoolwork, flunked IQ tests, and deemed lazy and stupid by his teachers. Outside of school, Branson's brush with entrepreneurship began when he decided to grow Christmas trees at a local farm and breed budgerigars. Both businesses ultimately failed. But it taught him immensely about the importance of constantly making mistakes and recovering from them.
In terms of school, after nearly failing out of Scaitcliffe School, Branson transferred to the Stowe School, a boarding school in Buckinghamshire, England. There, he sought safe haven in the library. At age 16, Branson launched a youth-culture periodical called Student Magazine, sporting columns and interviews from novelists James Baldwin and Alice Walker and existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. After the first issue was published, the headmaster at Stowe School, who thought highly of the high school dropout, declared, "Congratulations Branson. I predict you will either go to prison or become a millionaire." Indeed, Branson would go on to accomplish both feats. Soon enough, Branson persuaded his parents to pursue his startup full-time and dropped out of high school. In order to keep Student Magazine alive, Branson decided to run ads that offered records at discount prices. Stunned by the high volume of orders, he set up shop and founded Virgin Records. The rest is history.
Today, the Virgin billionaire and thrill-seeker is flying high, literally and is the chairman of the Virgin Group of more than 400 companies around the globe. Branson would not be who he is today if he decided to play it safe and put up with the grueling and useless days of schooling. He took a risk and it certainly paid off.
The moral of the story is: Go change the world yourself. We are waiting. The future is here and is ripe for disruption. Go against the grain and take full advantage of the moment. There has never been a better time to be an innovator and dreamer in America.
Graduating high school in January 2013, Nikhil Goyal, 17, is the author of One Size Does Not fit All: A Student's Assessment of School. His premise? That the U.S. education system does not serve every student–and that perhaps the "school of life" is the better place to learn. Follow on Twitter @nikhilgoya_l

Hi Guys,
Not sure if this is in the right section.
I am installed (well run from SD card) WII64 but i have noticed it runs a little slow, Goldeneye does not run at all. Doing a quick a google search people are recommending i install the n64 WAD, which is better. I am a little confused, where would i obtain and how do i know if its a trusted site, if that make sense.
Is there a better emulator for the n64 within HBC.
64 games don't really run the best as they are very hard to emulate. Go to the wiibrew website and see what is there.

This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
>> Hey there, I'm Robert Garmin. >> And I'm Rich Harrington. >> And welcome back to another episode of DSLR Video Tapes. And Rich, this week, we're going to kind of continue on our motif that we started in our previous episode. Talking about developing a film look inside of an NLE only using, sort of the built-in tools. >> Yeah, and, and this is a bit, I don't want to say, limiting. Because, you know, all of these NLEs come with good stuff built in and >> Yeah. Yeah sure. >> And core color correction and grading, you can do. But I, I think we often get comfortable using third party effects because they jump start the process.
>> Well, you know, because a lot of times, they're dedicating to doing that, right, whether it's hey, here's 50 looks that you can try out from everything. >> Yeah. >> From you know, washes, and bleach bypasses and all kind of stuff. When we're dealing with the, the built in tools, a lot of times we have to kind of use our creativity a little bit more. >> Yeah. >> To nail those things. Now, the one thing that I think that's worth bearing some discussion and we talked about this in previous episode, but what do we mean by Film look. And I gotta tell you, Rich. This is kind of a, an overused kind of misplaced term in my head. >> Yeah. >> I just think, to me, you know? In my opinion, a film look is not having really anything to do with film these days.
Because nobody's shooting on film, for the most part. You know, all the stocks are gone, all the labs are gone. And traditionally, a film look. Was something that was done in color timing or at, at least in a photochemical process right? We were dipping it in some sort of bath or skipping a stage of the development process. We're not doing that anymore with ones and zeros and pixels >> No. >> on screen. >> But, but we are giving it a highly stylized look. >> And I think one of the things that's sort of more appropriate, is to look at things like magazines, their print ads, and look for looks or treatments that feel good.
>> Absolutely, and when clients walk in my suite a lot of times, they're using those words, like a wash or a bleach by bath, things they have discovered, or they are giving us references like something out of a magazine. >> Yeah. >> But it's just kind of a of weird thing when we say film, I mean the biggest thing that comes to film for me is just really just motion right and frame rate. You're going to give yourself sort of a leg up if you shoot all your footage at something like 23.98 or 24 frames per second. Versus 30 or 60 frames a second.
