Moives

When I hear the words “special effects” I think of so many moives I have seen. Every moive uses different speical effects, like in horror moives in killing scenes. Blood and guts are flying from everywhere, that might be the make up special effects team who are incharge. In a superhero moive, the superhero can fly and have x-ray vision so that will be for speical moive program in the computer that will do that. I believe there is different moive effects for certain genres of moives. An example of animated moives with special effects would be the nightmare before christmas. The Nightmare before Christmas is not a live action movie with tons of special effects, nor is it a cartoon. Instead, it's stop-motion animation with tons of special effects. Tim Burton's (guy who created the story) masterpiece used sophisticated computer-controlled cameras to execute state-of-the-art camera movement for this feature film's stop-motion animation. Puppets (built of a foam latex material covering intricate metal armatures) were manipulated frame-by-frame on real miniature sets. The painstaking film took nearly three years to complete (dozens of animators and crew members averaged only 60 seconds of film per week), because each different pose or position equaled a 24th of a second. I will recommend to watch in youtube or borrow a friend’s copy of the movie to check out the behind the scene to get the whole concept of how it was made and what are the special effects.

Freedom of Speech

I believe that anonymous posters should be protected under the first amendment, everyone the right express their opinions or feelings towards the subject or object. Everyone in the world criticizes each other publicly or privately, it not a new thing, is actually started in the beginning of time. It’s funny how individuals complain about being judged when they judge others. An example would be” What if anonymous posters said untrue things about you that ruined your social reputation (or that of your family, or best friend, or boy friend?).” My response for that question would be let it go because not everyone is going to believe what others are saying or posting on online. Sure some people are going to believe what others say; either they don’t like you or just want to be rude, I don’t know whatever their response is personal or just playing stupid. If someone posted a negative comment about me, of course I will be upset, but I remember not everyone is going to believe it. Only close family and friends will know the truth, but some will have doubts. Again, the first amendment was made for a reason to have the freedom to say what we want. Ask yourselves, “How come the first amendment exists?”

I personally wouldn’t want to know have done it because it will end up in an argument if I personal know the person. But, some people would like to know who the liar was posting things you, then be my guest and do what you desire.

Someone who is famous should already know how their life will change; the media post lies or truths about their personal lives. I believe they shouldn’t be upset or overact because it’s the media’s job to post lies to catch the viewer’s attention. That’s how the magazine media have million of dollars just for one small lie. Even if it’s not true then people will believe what the articles say. Again, the only people who will believe the famous person will be the close family and friends. An example of a situation of being criticize was a nude picture of a band member who sends it to his ex- girlfriend and she sends it to her recent boyfriend who was the guy’s best friend. The guy posts the pictures online and commented rude and negative things. The band member found out after a show, his band just performed. He checked the comments; there were negative and positive comments. Of course he felt bad, one month later not showing his face in public and locked in his parent’s house. He posted on his blog, the two individuals shouldn’t have done that, but he also blamed himself for not thinking straight for the chaos it caused.

I believe that everyone has the right speak up for what he/ she want to say. Everyone post negative comments on different website on different topics. It’s funny how people will not like to be judge for something and judge others for the same fear the individual haves
