A Mid-Summer Report Card: Pondering Superman, Monsters, and "The End"
July 8, 2013 Christopher Schobert	Leave a comment
We're at about the midpoint of summer, movie-wise, and it's been a wild one, with a few hits, several high-profile bombs ("After Earth," "White House Down," "The Lone Ranger"), and some indie successes. I have not seen everything – still need to get to "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and "World War Z" – but here are some very brief thoughts on what I HAVE seen. (Note that even though I said "report card," I'm sticking with the 4-star system.)
"Iron Man 3:": Not a BAD film , exactly, but one that to my mind did nothing to move along the franchise. Robert Downey Jr.'s shtick has grown increasingly old, and I found the second installment far superior. That being said, Ben Kingsley gives his funniest performance on years. 2 1/2 stars
"Man of Steel": There are some great moments here, and it will turn out to be, I think, a fine first chapter in a new Superman series. But it's an odd film, and in some ways, a brutish, unrelentingly grim one. Still, I love Michael Shannon having a role in a blockbuster, and Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe each turn in solid performances. What's up with the insane product placement? By the way, I'm fine with Supe the killer. I come down on the side of the semi-satisfied … barely. Because 2 3/4 is not allowed, I'm going 2 1/2 stars
"Monsters University": I haven't seen "Brave," so I've yet to see EVERY Pixar film, but this felt like the weakest by far. It's entertaining, as they all are, but wayyy too long. 2 1/2 stars seems low, but I gave the superior "Despicable Me 2" 3 stars, so …
"This is the End": Funniest comedy I've seen in some time, and can't wait to see it again. Backstreet's back. Yes, I would have liked Michael Cera and Emma Watson to have stuck around a bit longer, but still. 3 1/2 stars
"Before Midnight": Another insightful, smart, passionate burst from Linklater-Hawke-Delpy. The opening, with the son boarding the plane alone, still gets me. 4 stars
"Frances Ha": I've made my feelings on this clear – still the best thing I've seen this summer. 4 stars
"Copperhead": I'll be writing a longer review of this one soon; it is compelling, well-acted, and a tad dry, but overall it works – if you care about the Civil War going in. 3 stars
"The East": Impassioned, brisk, and utterly fake. 2 stars
"The Great Gatsby": This came out during the summer? Feels like I saw it two years ago. 2 1/2 (being generous)
"Mud": A twisty coming- of-age epic brimming with great moments and performances. 3 1/2 stars
"Despicable Me 2": What can I say? It entertained me more than Superman and Iron Man. 3 stars
Rentals …
"Hyde Park on Hudson": This one literally evaporates upon viewing. Even Bill Murray can't save this dull, strange concoction. It's a misfire on every level. 1 1/2 stars
"Warm Bodies": Not particularly funny or clever, despite a game cast. 2 stars
"Mama": Scary and silly on equal measure, "Mama" has just enough to qualify as slightly above-average horror. 2 1/2 stars
"Quartet": I love Dustin Hoffman, and it is difficult to find a weak link in the cast, but his directorial debut makes "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" look like a Gregg Araki flick. 2 stars
More to come soon, including "Fill the Void," "The Conjuring," and, hopefully, "Stories to Tell."

Review: Even Pacino-Free, "Despicable Me 2" is a Summer Success
"Despicable Me 2" is pummeling "The Lone Ranger" at the box office, and I'm not surprised. It's a fun movie, one written and directed with style and verve, and easily one of the summer's more enjoyable films. I actually think it was significantly stronger than Pixar's "Monsters University." Here is my three-star review from Thursday's Buffalo News.
"Despicable Me 2" star Steve Carell brought Maxwell Smart to the big screen in 2008's "Get Smart" – to rather unmemorable effect, incidentally – so let's paraphrase that iconic character's most famous line: Would you believe this animated sequel is a more satisfying summer film than "Iron Man 3," "Man of Steel" and almost every other blockbuster released so far this season?
In a weak summer for family-friendly fare – yes, there is "Monsters University" – "Despicable Me 2" qualifies as a true crossover success, a film that should prove as pleasing to both 4- and 40-year-olds.
It is the follow-up to one of 2010's most successful pictures, which introduced the Bond villain-esque Gru (Carell), a criminal mastermind who adopts three adorable girls – bespectacled Margo, ninja wannabe Edith and cute-as-a-button Agnes – and has a plan to steal the moon.
"Despicable Me" also introduced Gru's minions, little, yellow, gibberish spouting, Twinkie-like helpers that rank among recent animated cinema's most clever and humorous creations. (A spinoff is on its way in 2014.)
In the end, Gru changed his ways, and as "Despicable Me 2" opens, he is a doting father, one who is not above dressing as a fairy princess for his youngest daughter's birthday. Sure, he is painfully single, and misses the thrill of villainy, but Gru is happy in his new suburban bubble.
But when he is approached – OK, kidnapped – by the top-secret Anti-Villain League, Gru returns to work, this time with the good guys. He is soon partnered with the wacky, karate-chopping Lucy (Kristen Wiig), sent undercover as a mall shopkeep.
While on mall duty, a rotund Mexican restaurant owner known as Eduardo (Benjamin Bratt) introduces himself, and Gru finds him vaguely familiar. Meanwhile, his trusted colleague Dr. Nefario finds a new job, Margo falls in love and Gru starts to fall for Lucy.
It all leads to some mutant minions, a villain known as El Macho and lots and lots of red jam. The kids will love every minute of it, even if the mutant minions offer a few scares.
Admittedly, the Gru saga does not stand for much, lacking the emotional oomph of Pixar's best or the creative force of a "Frankenweenie" or Disney's old-school finest. But the "Despicable" saga is not as obnoxious as any "Shrek" installment, and offers few reasons for parents to feel uneasy.
The first movie's directors, Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, are back at the helm, and they've crafted a tidy 98-minute sequel. Like "Despicable Me," the film is a 3-D affair; I would call the 3-D solid but inessential.
For Carell, the film is a certified winner after a rough patch. Following his first outing as Gru, Carell chose one winner, the Chris Schobert Guilty Pleasure Favorite "Crazy, Stupid, Love," the so-so "Hope Springs" and several duds: "Dinner for Schmucks," "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" and "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone."
As Gru, Carell is back to his likable best, creating a character who is sweet, funny and just over-the-top enough to serve as a believable ex-villain. Meanwhile, the endlessly lovable Wiig is perfectly cast as Lucy, Russell Brand nicely underplays Dr. Nefario, and Bratt is a surprisingly full-throated treat as Eduardo.
One caveat, however. Al Pacino was originally set to voice Eduardo, and the concept of Tony Montana voicing a character called El Macho feels like some kind of bizarre burst of genius. Sadly, "creative differences" led Pacino to jump ship.
The fact Pacino stayed with Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill" but bailed on "Despicable Me 2" says Gru is not getting the respect he deserves from the animated establishment. But this film's sure-to-be-robust grosses should more than make up for it. Perhaps Robert De Niro is available for "Despicable Me 3."

Weekend Preview: In Which Minions Seem Infinitely More Appealing Than Johnny Depp
Well, when you're wrong, you're wrong. In my weekend preview last week, I predicted "White House Down" to come in at No. 1 at the box office: "'White House Down' should have no trouble coming in at number one, although I would expect it to open below last week's number two film, 'World War Z.' 'The Heat' should follow in the second spot, with 'Monsters University' up next."
I was … a bit off. "Monsters" had no problem coming in first with $46 million, an indicator that parents have been waiting for some kid-friendly summer fare. And No. 2? "The Heat," which I always felt would do well. Melissa McCarthy is on a helluva role at the box office, Sandra Bullock is as well-liked as any actress in Hollywood, and what other female-centric films are in wide release at the moment?
The big surprises were what came next: "World War Z" in third, and THEN "White House Down," with only $25 million. When your big summer release hits fourth, you've got a problem, and clearly Roland Emmerich's film does. I think this is a case of a release date that just did not work. It is a crowded marketplace, Channing Tatum fans likely opted for "The Heat," "World War Z" has proved surprisingly muscular, and, of course, there is "Olympus Has Fallen," the similarly-themed spring hit that will likely end up having taken in more than "White House."
Prepare for more animated success, because this holiday weekend is certain to be topped by Gru and his minions: "Despicable Me 2" opened on Wednesday, and it's already huge. I reviewed the sequel for the Buffalo News, and found it winner: "[It] qualifies as a true crossover success, a film that should prove as pleasing to both 4- and 40-year-olds." I had a much better time than I did at "Iron Man 3" or "Man of Steel" — although I liked both — and I think there is a serious chance that Gru's gang ends up finishing its run with more dollars than "Monsters U."
While "Despicable" has arrived with strong buzz, Disney's "The Lone Ranger" seems to be moving in the opposite direction. From the get-go, the Armie Hammer-Johnny Depp-starrer seemed an unsafe bet, and the result, according to early reviews, is bloated, overlong, ugly, and disappointing on just about every level. Depp has a following, to be sure, and a PG-13 rating will help, but I think this could end up as Depp's second critical and commercial summertime disappointment in a row, after "Dark Shadows."
We shall see — the film could rally. But I've found it unappealing from the very first trailer, and I've seen nothing to change my opinion.
The week's only other major release is the stand-up film "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain," which finds the comic playing Madison Square Garden. The trailer is a hoot, and Hart's fans might make this a solid little earner.
On the other end of the spectrum is a trio of new smaller releases: "Lootera," a 50s-set Bollywood romance playing the Elmwood Regal; "Midnight's Children, Deepa Mehta's somewhat poorly-received adaptation of Salman Rushdie's beloved novel (at the Amherst Dipson); and "The Attack," a drama about an Arab surgeon who discovers a dark secret about his wife after a suicide bombing.
Note that "Stories We Tell" is still playing at Amherst, and "Copperhead" and "Love is All You Need" are still playing at Eastern Hills.
The Screening Room will please many by showing "Grease" at 7:30 p.m. on July 5–7, and July 9, while next Thursday, July 11, features two very different sci-fi films: "Equilibrium" and "Forbidden Plant." Author Mark Malkasian hosts this special event, also featuring sci-fi trivia.
Bacchus returns with "Anchorman" on Thursday (July 10), while the UB North Campus shows the late Tony Scott's "Top Gun" on Friday (July 5) and "42" on Tuesday (July 9), both at 9:15, and the UB South Campus offers "42" at 9:15 on Wednesday (July 10).
One last note: Some of this summer's crop is already hitting the cheapies: "The Bling Ring, "After Earth," "Epic," "Fast & Furious 6," and "The Hangover Part III" are now playing McKinley. That doesn't mean summer's almost over … right?

Adama Czartoryskiego street or Czartoryskiego street is a path located in the Old Town District () of Bydgoszcz, Poland. It portrays the industrial development that the city witnessed in the middle of the 19th century.

Location
Located in the old town, the street follows a south-to-north path: stemming from Swiętej Trojcy street, it reaches its northern tip at Focha street.

History
A 1800 Map of Bromberg highlights a road parallel to the Brda river in the area, with less than a dozen built plots.

The first address books of Bromberg, dated 1855, identifies the path  as Holz Straße with 10 registered edifices, out of which three were the property of Henrich and Wilhelm Mauß.

Naming
During its existence, the street bore the following names:
 1800s - early 1850s, not named;
 1855 – 1875, Holzstraße, literally the Wooden road;
 1876 – 1920, Mautz Straße in reference to the Mauß (also spelled Mautz) family who owned several houses in the street, as early as the 1850s;
 1920 – 1939, Ulica Ks. Adama Czartoryskiego;
 1939 – 1945, Mautz Straße;
 Since 1945, Ulica Ks. Adama Czartoryskiego ().

The current name refers to "Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (1770-1861), a Polish nobleman, statesman, diplomat and author. He was also a dedicated patron of arts and as such greatly contributed to the Czartoryski Collection. In 1798, he purchased one of Poland's most important national treasures – Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine.

Main areas and edifices

Tenement at 12 Swiętej Trojcy Street, corner with Czartoryskiego street

1890s

Eclecticism

This tenement at then Berliner straße 30, was the property of Wilhelm Baesler a smith master, who moved to Bromberg in the mid-1860s. The following landlord was also a smith, Julius Schmiede; his son Erich, a smith master, moved out in the mid-1920s, but lived in Bydgoszcz until the start of World War II.

Both elevations on the street have arc pedimented windows, and the facade on Świętej Trojcy also displays pilasters on its ends. A wrought iron gate parts the building, giving access to a backyard on Czartoryskiego street.

Ancient iron foundry of Friedrich Eberhardt, at 2
Industrial architecture

The building housed one of the oldest city plants, Friedrich Eberhard's machine factory and iron foundry, opened in 1846.

The company, known as Maschinenfabrik F. Eberhardt, installed in 1857,  steam engines in nearby Franke's distillery. A few years later, Eberhardt manufactured there more powerful steam engines, from  to  for local brick workshops.

The edifice has been put for sell in 2018.

C.A. Franke's ancient spirit refinery, at 4/10
1880s-1890s

Industrial architecture

Carl August Franke, the founder of the company, came to Bydgoszcz in 1827 from Leszno. At his death (1853), his son Hermann took over the management of the small family spirit distillery, making it a thriving factory.

After a first expansion of the workshops at Podwale street in 1872, the daily of spirit output reached about 3,500 liters. In order to solve the storage issue, Hermann purchased in 1887, a large plot of land at then "Mautz Straße", along the lateral stream bed of the Brda river. The spirit warehouse erected there was equipped with cement cisterns and iron tanks, capable of holding about 1 million liters of spirit (increased shortly to 1.75 million liters).

In 1893, a large and modern refinery factory was added beside the warehouse: together, both plants (the newly built one and the old one on Podwale street) enabled a daily production of 10,000 liters of spirit.

At that time, the firm employed almost 30 people and its working capital attained about 750 000 German gold marks. The plant operated through the interwar period and the German occupation period, but under German ownership. After World War II, the factory has been nationalized and gradually ceased its activity.

Public baths were set up by C.A. Franke:
 in 1874, on the Brda river, at the corner of today's Podwale and Grodzka streets;
 in 1894, on the lateral branch river, along Czartoryskiego street.
These facilities, located close to the refineries, used the hot water from the industrial liqueur process.
During many years, these bathing houses were the only ones available downtown to meet the needs of the Bromberg residents. With the development of the urban water network, facilities gradually lost their importance after WWI. The bath house at Czartoryskiego housed twelve cabins with bathtubs (1st class) and showers - separate for men and women. The equipment was dismantled in 1935, when the Franke family immigrated to Germany, selling the property back to Polish buyers.

One can notice, a neo mannerist old office building at 6. In the adjoined courtyard there is a bas-relief called Children in a bath, recalling the period when baths used to stand here.

Factory at 7
Industrial architecture

The place used to harbour a workshop. Sold in 2019, the new owner plans to build there an hotel.

Ernst Till Workshop, at 9
Industrial architecture

In the mid 1880s, Ernst Till, a smith master, opened there his workshop. At the time, the plot was registered on "Berliner straße" (present day's Swiętej Trojcy Street). Ernst and his descendants owned the place until the 1930s.

Today, the plot is still opened on both streets; the path to Swiętej Trojcy Street leads to the parvise of the Church of the Holy Trinity.

"Betezda" charity mission house, at 12
Early 1880s

Industrial architecture

The plot, then at "4 Mautz Strasse", was first owned by Heinrich Mautz in the 1850s, as located at "Holz Straße". In 1890, it became the property of the C.A. Franke" company.

Since 2004, it has been housing a mission of the Congregation of the Baptist Church in Bydgoszcz, the "Centrum Chrześcijańskie KANAAN - Misja BETEZDA" ().

Franke Villa at 13
Beginning of the 20th century

Art Nouveau

The plot has been for a long time utilized as a garden. It's only in 1908 that Hermann Franke had this villa erected.

The building has Art Nouveau features and is noticeable by its corner tower topped with a cupola. The entrance porch bears the initial "CF" , in reference to Carl Franke, father of Hermann Franke. The edifice, till the 1980s, used to be the "Civilian Registry Office", especially for weddings. Currently, it hosts various institutions, including the local alliance of Trade Unions.

Buildings at 16
Second half of the 19th century.

Wattle and daub

The plot presents a large early modernist building, giving onto the street.

The oldest edifice, however, is located at the back of the parcel and gives onto the river. It consists of a brick and wattle-and-daub house, supported by rocky foundations.

 House at 20, corner with Focha street

1855-1857, by Heinrich Mautz

Neoclassical architecture

The house at then Maußstraße 1'' has been built by master carpenter Heinrich Mautz for his own use, as he owned a sawmill on the river.
Since 1887, the villa housed the military general commanding the Prussian 4th Division billeted in Bromberg. After 1920, the place was owned by the State Treasury of Poland, housing there the general commanding the 15th Infantry Division: in the 1930s, general Wiktor Thommée lived there. During World War II, it was the HQ of the Nazi security forces: a plaque in memoriam has been placed. After World War II, it has housed a municipal branch of the city tax office ().

The two-storey villa has got very neo-classical features, a set of identical windows one the ground floor and a series of smaller, square openings above. The entry gate on Czartoryskiego street has particularly well adorned lintel and pilasters.

House at 25 Focha street, corner with Czartoryskiego street

1799

Neoclassical architecture

The villa has been, from 1836 to 1920, the official residence of the presidents of the Bydgoszcz Regency (,), as the northern of two Prussian administrative regions of the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815–49) and the Province of Posen (1849-1918). The president executive office was located in today's Regional Office Building. The first president to occupy the site was Carl von Wissmann. In front of the house ran the Old Bydgoszcz Canal till 1973: opposite the villa was located one of the lock () at the level of Artur Grottger street. During the evacuation of the city by Prussians in summer 1919, furniture and equipment of the palace was spirited away.

The vast edifice has only one storey. Its elevation on Focha street displays a perfect symmetry with two annexes with vehicle gate on both side. The main entry features typical neo-classical elements: the gate is flanked by two columns, topped by a large lintel. The ensemble is part of an avant-corps crowned by a temple-like triangular pediment.

Dissection of the Common WoodElf, Telerius Galadh
Author: bryn_bnw
2004 Award Category: Races: Elves
Rating: PG ✧ Reason for Rating: N/A
Summary: Observation and Dissection of the Common Wood-Elf (Telerius galadh). Why do Elves glow? How does an Elf walk on snow? Methods of reproduction? It's Legolas as you've never seen him before.
This story is one of a kind. There's a wonderfully quirky sense of humor about it that isn't afraid to border on the inane or silly. And the story revels in it. The very idea of dissecting Legolas is ludicrous at the same time brilliant, and that's what I love best about this story. It seamlessly combines elements of pure genius with things that are so absurd they had me rolling with laughter. I honestly don't know how Bryn pulled this off. If I did, I would copy it in a heartbeat. The entire process (from failed attempts at trapping Legolas, to the avoidance of discussing how exactly poor Legolas dissected, to the futile attempt at explaining a fantasy creature through scientific means) is hilarious, ridiculous, and one of most brilliant examples of farcical writing that I've ever had the pleasure to read.
Reviewed by: Ainaechoiriel ✧ Score: N/A
Well, I'm not happy at all that Legolas had to die for this knowledge to be gained. But this line was just precious: "The Elfs hair color could not be determined, as it appeared to change in various lights, ranging from dark brown to platinum blonde. Under ultra-violet light, it appeared green." '
Reviewed by: Avonaus ✧ Score: N/A
This one always makes me smile. Nicely serious nonsense.
Reviewed by: Ellbee ✧ Score: N/A
Bwahaha! Most educational and informative. I was very interested (and strangely pleased) to learn of Legolas's proficiency in swearing, and find the potential connection of Elves with jellyfish to be fascinating.
Reviewed by: ElenaTiriel ✧ Score: N/A
This story is just -- evil. Pure evil. You know how it is when you see a comedian take a pratfall and you have to laugh, knowing that pratfalls are a low sense of humor that you don't wish to succumb to? Well, this story is like that. I don't want to laugh, but can't help myself. I laughed at the standard M. S. capture tactic (carefully selecting the most appropriate type), "skilled in the art of archery and swearing", and many other parts. The bioluminescence and associated conjecture on the descent of Elves is, um, most unique! I most enjoyed the dig at Tolkien's incomplete family trees, leading to speculation about asexual reproduction or hermaphroditism! This is such a funny, sly story; I really enjoy it!

"I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to do as a career before starting my degree. I enjoyed my artificial intelligence modules, so decided to specialise in this area."
I am currently studying for a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Southampton University - due to finish in September of this year. After which, I wish to get a job in the AI field hopefully related to biometrics or natural language processing.
Given that I only graduated last year, then it would have to be master's course (which is really interesting, if hard work). I would definitely encourage others that also wish to specialise further to do so, even if it means looking further afield if your desired postgraduate course isn't currently offered at Plymouth. It has been interesting to meet a whole new group of people and I will benefit from the alumni services of not one, but two great universities! It is also a fantastic way to differentiate yourself from other candidates and I have received lots of employer interest through LinkedIn over the last few months.
My main reasons for choosing Plymouth were the location, the enthusiasm of lecturers, the course's accreditation and placement opportunities. I loved my time living and studying in Plymouth, it's a good place to be a student, and met lots of friendly people throughout the city, some of whom I have kept in touch with (particularly within Guiding).
I was also able to undertake a paid placement year at the National Physical Laboratory as part of my studies. This gave me the opportunity to talk to others who had established careers in the industry and to find out what they thought had been good or bad decisions in their own careers. Many of them had also worked for other companies or in other fields, so I was able to get a overview of the working world coupled with office experience and transferable skills. This has helped to give me insight into the industry as a whole. My placement year also afforded me the luxury of an extra year to decide what I wanted to do after graduation and that was when I first started looking into potential postgraduate courses and discussing options with colleagues.
I used PALS in first year, which was helpful as I had never really programmed before starting my degree. I also used the careers service in my final year to help guide me on what sort of jobs were comparatively available if I undertook further study. They also gave me guidance about how to job search, which will be useful throughout my career and I know that I can still get in contact with them for the next couple of years should I need it.
It was actually my undergraduate artificial intelligence modules at Plymouth; coupled with talking to colleagues on placement; that convinced me to apply for my current course.
I think that we had a broad range of modules covering a wide range of topics and programming languages that allowed us to explore the different areas of computer science. The only thing I think that was missing from the course was a web development module; we did small amounts of web development as part of group projects, but this had to be self taught.
It's a friendly city and the university is perfectly placed within it. Furthermore, the lecturers are always willing to help and the courses are continually improving with direct input and feedback from students. We actually saw changes in following years during our time at Plymouth that were as a direct result of suggestions that we had made.
The feeling when I graduated and realised that I'd actually done it.


Hi again Magic Lantern users and developers!
As I love my 5D3 with the ML 14-bit raw i post this video I made yesterday here.
Took some hours to really understand how to get good statbilisation from my Ronin M with a longer lens like the 85mm used here, and it pays off and was worth it.
Processed in Davinci Resolve 15 Studio as always, and MLV to CDNG with the RAW2CDNG 1.6.1 by Chmee that I'am very glad he made!
Hope you like watching it, will improve grading later and use this setup in a video that has a story or longer thought in it.
UHD/4k upload to Youtube usually have done it.
Re: Ronin with 85mm lens from vehicle with 5D3 14-bit raw.
All your footage seems to be very overexposed.
I grade like that. Put quite many minutes into the grade.
The image is too overexposed and the color grading really exaggerated, which gives an artificial rendering.
A grading like that could be very interesting for narrative reasons, in a movie, or a short... But in this case....no at all, I'm sorry.
Why using RAW to overexposed like that ? Use h264, and overexpose your shooting on set, with 264 it will be easy to overexpose without having to play with Color grading on post !!
In addition the 85mm is a focal lens not suitable for guimbal, it is a long focal length, the framing is rarely interesting due to this focal lenght.
This 85mm is a great lens, but not on a Guimbal. If you use it on a Ronin, try to find narrative reason...in this case only it could be interesting !
1. I dont like the image, the image is too overexposed and the color grading really exaggerated. A grading like that could be very interesting for narrative reasons, in a movie, or a short.
3. In addition the 85mm is a focal lens not suitable for gimbal, it is a long focal length, the framing is rarely interesting due to this focal lenght.
Hi, yes i forgot to write in my first post that this was for testing the balance of my Ronin + 85mm. I uploaded it to Youtube to be able to see it myself to get ideas and whats working or not. Maybe shouldn't posted the video since its a test here. But I find it pretty good looking, but it's without a story since its a test of the balance of the gimbal.
I find your post very contradictive so I don't really know what I take from it. Maybe that I shouldn't upload and post tests that I do here on ML forum?
1. You don't like the image/grading, "but for with narrative reasons it could be very interesting" Ok so it can't be that bad?
2. I posted the sentence above after that, I should raw for various reasons, mostly beacause of 14-bit but also beacause its uncompressed. You have no chance doing a grade like that on H264 footage you state it yourself (the color grading is really exaggerated, which gives an artificial rendering).
3. Well I love the 85mm on the Ronin and will continue to use it, yes filming straight forward on a road isn't very interesting I agree, but I will develop the camera movements.
Well I understand that you find this video boring and bad, I should have write more clearly that it was for test purposes. I was so happy to get that kind of a balance with my Ronin so I just posted it here. I don't say that my grade couldn't be improved next time i put time in this it might be to develop the grade a bit.
the purpose of shooting in high bit depth is to get much details in highlights and shadows. if you want to burn away highlights like that, why shooting in raw? you could get it with h.264.
Hi, I'am trying different grades and I can agree with you that that one isn't the best. I like a crisp image and and not a video that look like s-log, but yes I took it to far in this video. For me 14-bit is something else then retaining all the highlight info. 14-bit is more gradeable and you can push colors to the way you like. 8 bit and H264 can banding when you try to push color.
I was searching about it when i was tired of a flat look, yes mine above is to harch. But the only thing you create if you retain all highlights and dynamic range if you have a 14 bit file into a 8 bit image is a LOG image. You have to push the contrast somewhere, and I genereally like my midtones crisp which let highlights maybe a bit to high. But next video I post here will have a proper grade.
Interesting blog that discusses retaining dynamic range or "crush it" for the image.
I post this one here since I finally made some progress in color. Shure I still like a contrasty look but with tones.
With the last grade I tried a quite special way to twist the color which I then realised I didn't like at all.
I will continue to play with a more classic grade and work with stuff from that kind.
Here's some adjustments I made today, maybe the "black point" should get more attention from me to get a image with the right contrast.
As you can see in the histogram the black was completely washed out, this can be a look you are going for, but I personally would not.
Thank you! Yes will to that next time I grade, felt a bit dumb after uploading that I just had focused on the highlights and roll them off nicely, will do both next time as you say!
And these interior shots are the worst of them in the upload. The rest I like more and will just adjust slightly.
I will say though - I think every single shot in your video needs to be brought down 1 or 2 EV. The whites are so hot it's almost hard to look at - and you're essentially desaturating your shots they're so bright.
Hi, yes the first video in this thread isn't to nice grading wise.


Malaysia days 1 - 3: Kuala Lumpur - Backpack The World!
I have to admin I have had more enjoyable flights than this. All night in planes without sleeping, arriving at 5am Malaysian time, but would be 10am for me (New Zealand time), not a great start.
Fortunately I found great CS host Rowena, who made my day. She loves backpacking, diving, climbing etc., so we really had something in common.
She used to have Cobra and a python as a pets. She was really surprised discovering that not all children have snakes as pets when she came first time from school. She also confirmed that the story about python lieing straight next to a person is not just a joke, but reality – has happened to her too.
As there are so many different tribes and so many different languages, English became language number 1 for most of the people to communicate with each other – and therefore English level is really high. On the other side some people do not know Malay language.
What is wrong in the elevator? Why is 4th floor missing? In China, number 4 means death, therefore nobody would like to live in 4th floor, that is why here they have floors 2, 3, 3A, 5, 6, etc.
In the morning I took a nap and in the afternoon we went together to Batu caves. As it is Deepavali Hindu festival today (it is actually tomorrow in India) and Batu caves is Hindu temple, there were many people who came for prying, which made the visit even more special. The limestone cave is nice and really huge and many monkeys make your visit spectacular.
Then we went together to city center. In Chinatown I tried typical food, central market shown us all possible gods to buy, Clock Tower is something like Big Ben in London and River of Life is a place where 2 rivers are merging into one, currently being renovated and looks very nice, same as Independence Square.
In the morning I just relaxed around roof top swimming pool – could there be better way of travelling than couch surfing?
In the afternoon I met another friend from 2009 camp Nesher. With Adeline we met at KLCC and she explained me why she moved from London back to KL and talked about her decision to quit job and joining art university.
For Deepavali festival there are many "kolam" all around (especially in malls) – very nice pictures made by colored rice.
Petronas Twin towers have 88 storeys each tower and are 452 meters tall. Sky bridge is 58 meters long and it is in 41st and 42nd floor at the height of 170 meters.
As Rowena had to go to Putrajaya (quarter/suburb of Kuala Lumpur full of government buildings) in the afternoon, I joined her. The center is on an island with 5 bridges all around.
At Putra Mosque for 15 000 people we had to wear beautiful "Harry Potter" / shaolin robes and enjoyed here also sunset.
He and his wife are both from Borneo, but different tribes, so speak different languages. It was nice to see them speaking half sentence in English, half in local language and some words in Malay – I could not understand anything, just stared at them how good they are with languages.
She just came back from Borneo where she went to deliver their baby. Borneo people are privilaged and if baby would be born in KL, it might be very difficult for him/her to have a land in Borneo in future. So all mothers from Borneo are going to give birth back home, independently where they live currently.
In the morning Rowena took me for breakfast to Kampung Baru – last remaining village in the middle of KL. This is protected area with traditional living style and even if there are developers who would like to destroy those wooden houses and build skyscrapers, I hope this village will remain for as long as possible.
From there I got to KLCC park, enojyed the view on Petronas Twin Towers and found Malaysian geocache.
Unfortunately I discovered too late that walking around the city with heavy backpack is not a great idea. By the time I got to party place Bukit Bintang I was completely tired.
To rest for a while I stopped in telecommunication museum – just to learn that messangers were used already around 1300 CE and only high intelligente people with exceptional memory and outstanding endurance and stanima could become messanger. Modern times are different – when Kuala Lumpur tower was built in 1995, it was third highest telecommunication tower in the world.
I checked one more time Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek mosque and headed to biggest park with KL Bird park, Butterfly park, etc.
Already on my way to bus station I spotted impressive building of National Museum, which I could not miss when I was so close. I liked the exposition of various tribes costumes and learnt for example how to get rubber from gum tree and that Malaysia gained independence in 1957.
Last but not least on my KL list was National Mosque and Old Railway Station building, from where I took bus to Penang island.


Himself has been asking when this post was going to go live for MONTHS because our stay in The Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida was just incredible! Seeing as so many of you are starting to plan your holidays for 2019, I thought this would be the perfect time to share our experience – so here it is – the run down of what to expect when staying in the hotel of ROCK!
Back in February 2018 Himself and I traveled to Florida with family and after a fun-filled week they all headed home and we stayed on an extra few days, thus prompting our move from our shared accommodation to the Hard Rock Hotel. On arrival we went to check in at reception and despite it being a big change over day, there was only one person ahead of us in the queue, so we got through within no time at all.
The room wasn't quite ready, so we left our luggage securely with them and went for a sit out by the pool in the gorgeous heat, which I only truly appreciated in that moment as the week before, we'd been allllll about the Disney Parks so I hadn't really sat still enough to notice!
To be honest though, after a week of running around like mad-yolks it was total bliss to lie out in the sun and doze a little (with my factor 50 on obviously!!). Once the room was ready, we headed up to have a look around. One of the major perks of staying here is that you get unlimited fast passes, do not underestimate how much of a game changer that is, especially if you're trying to get around both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios in a short window of time. As for our room, we opted for a "Club Level Room" which is on the 7th floor and comes with "additional perks" – more on these in a moment – let me show you the room first!
There was also a pretty cool mirror that had famous rock stars heights etched onto it, bit of a blurry photo I'm afraid, but you'll get the gist – I also think the term "rock" is loose as Shirley Temple is on there!!
Plus evening hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine – as well fancy cocktails every so often too!
Should you be planning your own stay here, I would HIGHLY recommend spending the extra mula on a room that includes Club Lounge access because you do yourself a favour monetarily in the long run – buying meals in the park is just so expensive – so if you can keep that to a minimum, all the better and the lounge definitely helps you to achieve this!!
As you can see from the below map, our route each day to the park really did take no time at all. One thing I would advise if you are frequenting Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure is to pop out to CityWalk for lunch, try not to eat in the park because everrrrryone does that and there're usually big queues with no where to sit and can make for a disappointing lunch experience. We left the park at 1pm one day and were bowled over by how empty CityWalk was – so that's a top tip right there!!
Even a karaoke bar! Himself and I both sang one night with a live band and backing singers – which was actually nerve wracking due to there being some clear regulars seated in the front row who were like "who are these two?!" But they turned out to be super supportive and it was a good laugh, the place itself is enormous!
I've written a fair bit about Universal before (see here, here, here, here and here) ok, so yes they're mostly Harry Potter related, but that's what I love and that's usually what you guys ask about anyway so – everyone is happy!!
We loved our time at the Hard Rock Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone if they're looking for a particularly special stay when visiting Universal Studios Orlando, Florida.
Have you been to Universal? Where did you stay? Let me know in the comments below!
We really did Millie it was fantastic!
It looks completely amazing, I hope you had the best time!
Incredible time thank you Danielle!!
It is Evi! Absolutely fantastic – such a great place to stay for a few days!
It is a fantastic place – highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Crossing: England's Tom Johnstone goes over for a try against France.
Wakefield Trinity star Tom Johnstone revealed he had to overcome "really bad" nerves before scoring a dream hat-trick on his England debut.
The prolific winger was named man-of-the-match following his stunning exploits in the 44-6 victory over France, crossing for his treble inside just 13 first-half minutes.
But Johnstone, 23, said: "The nerves were really bad at some points beforehand.
"It felt like a very long day and I just wanted it all to come quicker.
"I tried calming down, though, by treating it like a normal Super League game, something I do week in, week out, and it worked.
"It relaxed me and I didn't let the moment get ahead of me.
Johnstone got the first chance to claim the vacant left-wing spot that has opened up due to an injury to England's record-scorer Ryan Hall.
He certainly made his mark although coach Wayne Bennett suggested afterwards that Tommy Makinson – the St Helens wideman nursing a knock – would come in for the first Test against New Zealand in Hull on Saturday week.
"I feel like I've done everything I can and put my foot in the door," said Johnstone, with Huddersfield Giants' Jermaine McGillvary nailed on for the right-wing slot.
His impressive debut capped a fine campaign for Johnstone, who scored 24 tries and earned his first Dream Team selection.
That came after missing most of last season due to a knee reconstruction and the player – born in Germany but raised in Leeds – admitted: "It's incredible.
His treble helped put England in command 38-0 at the break, although France finally stirred to make more of a game in the second period.
"We trained really well and the boys came together really well," added Johnstone.
"France came out and were flying off the line trying to put some big hits in. But we just controlled the game, played at our level and it paid off.
"They put in a good stint, though, and the score doesn't fully reflect the effort they put in.
"We showed some things are clicking but we've still stuff to work on ahead of the Kiwis.
Bennett says Johnstone's display earmarked him as a player for the future and certainly for the 2021 World Cup.
"If he doesn't make it (this time), he won't be far off," he said.

For an immigrant seeking US naturalization it has just got considerably more expensive.
It has happened almost after a gap of 6 years, as a range of administrative fees for citizenship applications have been hiked by the Department of Homeland Security. The costs of some of the services have been doubled in few cases.
All the petitions that have been filed after December 23rd should be submitted along with higher fees. According to a statement from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the money collected from higher fees will be directed towards processing cases, detecting fraud and a range of activities including administrative costs.
The rise in bureaucratic costs may lead to many cash-strapped aspiring citizens bearing the heavier burden of the costs. USCIS gave reasons as to why it hiked the price, reasoning that the agency is completely funded and run by the fees that are submitted by petitioners, fresh cash infusion was needed from a long time.
In a statement released by USCIS Director Leon Rodriguez it has been mentioned that the agency is aware of the effect increase in fees will have one numerous customers they want to serve. It is because of this reason; it took them so long to increase the fees.
However, it has been added that along with increase in fees, USCIS has reduced the fees for some naturalization applications. The large number of immigrants who want to come and settle in US will be affected by the new pricing policy. Every year, hundreds of thousands of new applicants are naturalized by USCIS.
Data from the Migration Policy Institute has indicated that nearly 7 million people have naturalized in the country in the last decade. According to an immigration attorney, Glenn Martin Miller, some applicants will have problem with new fee hike, even though there has been waiver in filing.
When we take a look at the history, increase in fees has resulted in an increase in the number of applications submitted. This is because applicants try to get ahead as and when fee is increased. According to USCIS, more than 700,000 applications were submitted last year.

Childish Gambino changes style on new album "Awaken My Love"
"Awaken My Love" surprised fans with its folk style and messages of racial injustices in America.
Photo Courtesy of Glassnote Records
Nolan Arostegui, Staff Writer
Childish Gambino makes his glorious return to the music world with an unexpected, new style on his highly anticipated album "Awaken My Love." Originally known for his popular hip-hop and rap albums "Because the Internet" and "Camp," Gambino has proved his talent in the past with hits such as "3005," " Sweatpants," and "Sober."
When the album dropped, fans quickly noticed that this album does not include the familiar profanity-riddled raps that made Childish Gambino famous but rather consists of funk songs dedicated towards social and racial injustices. Two popular songs on the album—"Boogieman" and "Riot"—highlight these themes. Fast-paced and almost aggressive sounding, these two songs directly address the tension between law enforcement and the African-American community.
In Boogieman, Gambino portrays this with the lyrics: "With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman," and goes on to say: "Though we're not the one, but in the bounds of your mind, we have done the crime." In Riot, Gambino sings: "No good's happening, world we're out of leaders, everyone just wants a better life." Through these lyrics, Gambino expresses the prejudice he feels as an African American man.
If listeners take his message into account and open themselves up to the music, they can appreciate "Awaken My Love" as an innovative album that re-introduces funk into the music industry."
— Nolan Arostegui
Gambino is also known for his acting and writing on the praised FX show, Atlanta. The show is about two cousins who are trying to become successful rappers in Atlanta in search of a better life, and often deals with racial issues. In an interview, Gambino said that "Awaken My Love" is actually very closely related to Atlanta, and that when people listen to the music he wants people to "feel scared because that's what it feels like to be black."
Aside from the political motivations of this album, Gambino states in an interview that he wanted the album to have a funk feeling, similar to that of the 70's: "I remember listening to songs my dad would play—albums by the Isleys or Funkadelic—and not understanding the feeling I was feeling. Not having a name for that, though; just having a feeling. That's what made it great."
By far the most popular song on the album, already with 45+ million listens on Spotify, is "Redbone." The song begins with the funky sounds of a bass guitar, performed by Ludwig Göransson, who co-wrote and co-produced the album. The chorus features the phrase "Stay woke," which is associated with people being aware of social and racial injustices that occur every day and refers to metaphorically waking up and having your eyes opened. With a combination of the strong funk vibe, as well as the message Gambino sends, this song is a perfect representation of the whole album.
In regards to this album, Gambino has expressed the difficulty of writing such a personal album. "Awaken My Love" didn't necessarily receive the best reviews, and many were upset that it was not hip-hop/rap. However, it is clear that Gambino was playing from the heart, with the combination of the political message of the album and playing funk music–which he felt connected with.
Listening to the album for the first time may have disappointed listeners, especially because it is nothing like the rest of his discography. However, if listeners take his message into account and open themselves up to the music, they can appreciate "Awaken My Love" as an innovative album that re-introduces funk into the music industry.

Opening Prayer
Reverend Eung Yul David Ryoo
Merciful God, we give our thanksgiving and praise to You, the triune God and the Creator of the universe, for offering salvation through Jesus Christ and guidance through the Holy Spirit.
We pray that humankind would be united in mutual brotherhood under Your love. We pray for Your blessing upon the United States of America, so that it would live according to Your Word as one Nation under God.
Bless the Members of the House of Representatives who have gathered here today. Etch within their hearts a fierce calling towards their motherland, within their heads the wisdom to complete their tasks with integrity, and within their lives the courage to sacrifice for the people of our country.
We pray that all here would experience the glorious joy of serving this country and its people with all that You have bestowed upon them.
We pray in the name of Jesus.
"The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness—
on them light has shined.
You have multiplied the nation,
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as people exult when dividing plunder.
For the yoke of their burden,
and the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian."

Mercedes overtook Tesla, and its independent management got the green light in Germany
Mercedes with Drive Pilot drivers in certain circumstances will be able to drive the vehicle independently without ever placing their hands on the steering wheel.
When it comes to self-driving, most of us think of the Tesla Autopilot system, which has always been quite unique with unparalleled capabilities. However, traditional automakers have not been embarrassed for long and now the card is slowly turning. At least in the old continent.
Mercedes-Benz has received approval from the German KBA agency, which oversees road safety, to launch the Drive Pilot autonomous steering system for its customers, which is provided by level three assistants. At the same time, the Tesla Autopilot system is still classified as a Tier 2 system.
KBA approval for the Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot, which should be fitted with the flagship S-Class and EQS models as early as the first half of next year, will allow drivers to drive independently and without having to put their hands on the steering wheel. Speeds of up to 60 km / h.
"Drive Pilot will allow drivers to not deal with traffic and focus on some secondary activitiesThe auto maker said. As an example, mention talking to colleagues, writing emails, surfing the Internet, or watching movies.
The system may now be useful, for example, when driving in traffic jams, but it has higher ambitions for the future. However, it is not yet certain when the German authorities will allow its functionality, for example at speeds up to 130 km / h, or when it will allow the assistant to perform independent overtaking and overtaking from lane to lane.

At the same time, Level 3 autonomous and semi-autonomous control systems were approved in Germany as early as 2017. According to Mercedes-Benz, there are about 13,100 km of motorways in Germany where the Drive Pilot system can be safely used.
The KBA's approval to deploy a third-level autonomous management system is currently valid only for Germany, but the automaker is said to be already seeking its approval in other global markets. The United States and China will be among the most important countries.
Tesla, seen as a leader in autonomous management systems, has sought recognition from German authorities for a higher class of autonomous management systems in the past, but it has faced autopilot, which could give customers false expectations about the capabilities of the system. The system is still referred to as a level two assistant, and drivers still have to put their hands on the steering wheel so they can control the vehicle at any time.
