Green Screen Studio Magic Development

By Phillip Guye

Green screen studio technology for visible effects grew up with the film industry technology each advancement in film technology benefited and improve green screen studio technology. In developing this kind of technology ( frequently known as Chroma Key Technology ) the color first used was blue like green, blue is the less similar to human skin tones. Over time green has proved to be better than blue when it comes to out of doors filming. Today with computerization of chroma key technology, it is feasible to use more colors rather than green and blue. At first Green screen studio was basically used for weather reports as chroma key technology advanced it became well liked by film producers and photographers.

Green screen studio technology has many pioneers in developing and improving this technology. Before computer compositing, the method was complex and time consuming, and was known as traveling matte. The traveling matte and green chroma key technique were developed at RKO Radio photos and other lofts in the 1930's. At RKO studio Linwood Dun use the traveling matte process to create "wipes" ; which, makes transitions like a windshield wiper in films and was first utilized in the 1933 movie Flying Down to Rio. Larry butler is given credit for the development of Chroma Key special effects first used for the movie The thief of Bagdad which claimed him an Academy Award for CGI effects. Larry butler invented the green screen and traveling matte technique to develop visual effects that were rare in 1940. Servant was the first computer effects designer to develop special effects using the specialized screen for Technicolor still in the infancy stage at the time. In 1950, Warner brothers hire an ex-Kodak researcher name Arthur Widmer who commenced developing an ultra violet traveling matte process and improving new Chroma Key methodologies. The 1st film produce to use the state-of-the-art technology was The Old Man and the Sea in 1958.

Advancement in technology continues to improve the green screen studio computer effects. In the 1980's with the introduction of PCs the method of merging two different pictures together using an optical printer a lot less complicated, during the filming of The Empire Strikes Back, Richard Edlund develop the quad optical printer. Making compositing straightforward, faster, and cost saving that won Richard Edlund a special Academy Award for his invention.

As green screen studio improvements occur many lofts make heavy use of it's studio technology to add backgrounds like computer-generated imagery ( CGI ). Compositing has gotten less complicated allowing for photographs from different performances from different takes, and motion to be combined into one scene. Green screen studio makes it possible for filming location shots without leaving the studio which saves the extreme costs of location filming. Further developments of computer software and computational has eliminated the need to use grids or tracking marks.

In closing advances and improvements in technology to green screen studio occurs makes the utilization of it's technology easier and better for making special visual effects. Today anybody can employ a chroma key studio at home for adding visible effects to their own photos. What makes this type of studio possible is a purchase of a chroma key studio setup with PC software less than $200. This makes it easier for professional photographers to create their own backgrounds or visible effects without the elevated costs of filming on location.

Saints Come From 21 Down To Beat Dolphins

By Ross Everett

With an offense that can strike as quickly as the New Orleans Saints', they're never out of a game. The Miami Dolphins found that out the hard way on Sunday as the Saints came roaring back from a 21 point deficit to win going away 46-34. Drew Brees threw for 298 yards and a touchdowns, though gave up three interceptions. Miami dropped to 2-4 on the year.

Adding insult to injury for NFL betting enthusiasts who backed Miami as +6 home underdogs, the Saints continued their rampage against the pointspread with a late game interception return for a touchdown to cover. New Orleans is 6-0 against the number this season, while Miami dropped to 2-4 against the spread. The 80 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 47'. It was the fourth OVER in six games this season for both teams.

After the game, Brees said that his team never lost confidence:

"There was no doubt on our sideline we would come back and win. They had given us their best shot, and we had played about as bad as we could play. All we had to do was string together a few drives and gain the momentum back. We knew it was going to happen, and it did."

Following a rushing touchdown that gave his team their first lead of the game in the fourth quarter, Brees dunked the football over the goal post crossbar:

"There are times in the game when a team just needs an emotional lift. I felt like I had to do something to get everybody hyped. The first thing that came to mind was to dunk it."

Saints' linebacker Scott Shanle suggested that the game could portent good things to come:

"It can be a season-defining win. This was a test we hadn't faced yet, and we couldn't be happier with the way we responded."

A dejected Ricky Williams explained how his team had lost:

"This was our game to win. We fought and we fought. They just fought harder at the end."

Dolphins' QB Vonte Davis said the defense was aware that with Brees in the game even a 21 point lead was tenuous at best:

"With Drew Brees, it's like the score is 0-0. We knew they would come back and that it would be a tough game."

The Saints will now host the Atlanta Falcons next Monday night. They'll then face two struggling teams, taking on the Carolina Panthers at home the following Sunday and playing against the Rams at St. Louis on November 15. The Dolphins will play on the road against the New York Jets this Sunday. They'll play at New England the following Sunday before returning home on November 15 to take on the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jets End Three Game Losing Streak With Win Over Raiders

By Ross Everett

The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found a sure fire cure to their recent struggles-a game against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Sanchez passed for--3 yards and a touchdown, plus added a rushing touchdown as New York thumped Oakland 38-0 in the largest regular season shutout win in franchise history. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell continued to struggle, and he passed for just 61 yards with three interceptions before he was benched in favor of Bruce Gradowski. The Jets improved their record to 4-3 while the Raiders dropped to 2-5.

NFL football betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as -6 road favorites had smooth sailing throughout the game for an easy pointspread cover. The Jets improved to 4-3 against the spread while the Raiders fell to 3-5 against the number. The 38 points scored went OVER the posted total of 34. Oakland failed to score a touchdown for the 15th game in the past four seasons.

It was such an effortless game that the only thing that Sanchez had to apologize for was surreptitiously eating a hot dog near the end of the contest:

"I want to apologize for that. I wasn't feeling very good and didn't eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered a hot dog, so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn't have done that, and it won't happen again."

Sanchez praised the defense for making his job easy:

"It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that. Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don't care who we're playing, that's a big-time accomplishment for our team."

Jets' coach Rex Ryan was very pleased with Sanchez's performance:

"Sanchez was great. He was just smart with the football. I think sometimes he could have put the ball on a receiver, but he was making sure the ball wasn't intercepted. It was great to see him respond."

Raiders' defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who boldly predicted the team would make the playoffs despite their slow start, was singing a different tune after the rout:

"I don't think we could have beaten an Oakland high school team today."

Despite Russell's struggles, Oakland coach Tom Cable remains committed to him as the team's starter:

"I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game. I just did not feel like at that point he gave us the best chance to have the success we needed to have offensively and made the move. JaMarcus will continue to be our starter. There is no issue there."

The Raiders will try to bounce back this weekend in a big rivalry game on the road against the San Diego Chargers. Oakland is +16' road underdogs with the total set at 42'. They'll then enjoy a bye week before back to back home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets host Miami this Sunday, with New York a -3' home favorite and the total set at 40'. They'll also have a bye week to look forward to before returning to action at home on November 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Browns Best Bills In NFL 'Futility Bowl'

By Ross Everett

In a matchup between two of the worst offenses in the NFL, someone had to win. Despite producing only 9 first downs and'3 yards of total offense, the Cleveland Browns got a late game field goal from Billy Cundiff to defeat the Buffalo Bills 6-3 and win their first game of the season. The Bills had the more productive afternoon statistically, with- first downs and 288 yards of offense but were undone by three costly turnovers. Both teams are now 1-4 on the 2009 NFL season.

To successfully bet on the NFL, one needs to find opportunities to play underdogs"this is particularly true in games where neither team is expected to put many points on the board. Such was the case here, as Cleveland easily covered the pointspread as +6 road underdogs. Both teams are now 2-3 against the number on the season. The Browns have now won and covered the last three head to head matchups between the teams. The 9 points scored came nowhere near the total of 41 for an easy UNDER. The Browns have now gone UNDER in 3 of their 5 games this season, while Buffalo has OVER on three of their five posted NFL totals.

It was a game without many highlights. The Browns got on the board first with a 24 yard Cundiff field goal in the second quarter, and took that 3-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. Buffalo would tie the score in third on a Rian Lindell 36 yard field goal. That would set the stage for Cundiff to nail the game winner from' yards out with: 23 left to play. Despite todays victory, Cleveland is averaging a woeful 11 points per game this season. Buffalo's PPG numbers are slightly better thanks to decent scoring output in their first two games of the season--theyre averaging just over 15 points per contest. In the Bills last three games, however, theyre averaging a meager 6.6 points per game.

The real loser in Sundays contest may have been Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron. Many were surprised that he was retained after the Bills third straight 7-9 season last year and things have gone from bad to worse so far in the 2009 NFL season. Buffalo has lost to winless teams in back to back weeks, part of a three game losing streak. Overall, the Bills have wound up losers in 12 of their last 15 games. Not that Cleveland has done much better--the win today ended a 10 game losing streak, one short of the all time franchise record.

Cleveland will have a tough road assignment next Sunday, heading to Pittsburgh to face the World Champion Steelers. Theyll return home for a game against the Green Bay Packers on October 25th before playing the Chicago Bears in The Windy City the following week. Buffalo will play the next two on the road, heading to the Meadowlands next Sunday for a game against the New York Jets followed by a trip to Charlotte, NC to take on the Carolina Panthers.

5 Ways to Quit Your Overpriced Gym Right Now.

By Dane Scott

Gyms are massively overrated. Maybe you are going to one now, or you had a great experience with one before, but let me tell you that there are plenty of reasons to give up the gym and find another way to work out.

If you love the gym, this isn't going to convince you of much, but if you are a bit sick of it, read these 5 reasons and then toss your membership.

#5: Gym Prices Tend to Be Rather Obscene.

If you're a student and you get a cheaper student gym with your university card, consider yourself very lucky. I had one, once, and it cost me next to nothing for an awesome, bright, airy gym that I loved. Once I moved to a big city, though? Forget it - hundreds a month, and not even close to as nice.

#4: People in Gyms Can Go Insane.

You start to see the same people over and over at the gym, and they get into specific routines. These routines can become more and more absurd, because these people know they're being watched in close quarters. That is why you have to deal with the spectacle of Mr. thickest-neck-ever coming in and grunting his way through 30 unnecessarily heavy repetitions in front of you. Nowhere else in the world do you have to put up with stuff like that.

#3: Do You Enjoy Covering Yourself in Other People's Sweat?

Sure, the paper towels (or dirty towels brought from home) and the little spray bottles are there, but really loads of people just don't bother to wipe down the machines they've been using before. You can block it out of your mind, but that only works until you sit down on a machine that is dripping with sweat and realize it is definitely not your own.

#2: Doing the Same Crap Every Day Will Drive You Insane.

You might claim that your magic iPod or your series of audio books or magazine subscriptions alleviate the crushing boredom of standing in a small room and working selective muscle groups over and over, but you're only deceiving yourself. Own up to the sad and depressing fact - gyms are stunningly, shockingly boring places that breed contempt through bitter, grim repetition. Get out while you still can.

#1: You are Completely Free Outside.

If you're finally ready to cut the cord and free yourself from the oppressive confines of your neighborhood sweat-box, you'll discover a shining, dynamic, vital world outside its doors, once that allows you to go for a run in literally any direction you want, without a hassling machine setting your limits for you. You might also notice that this 'go anywhere' running doesn't cost over $100 a month. You're welcome!

Why You Should Use A Digital Camera

By Jason Kelly

In this day and age for photographers, there are a lot of handy equipment made readily available to do the job properly. The primary novel equipment for photographers, for obvious reasons, is a digital camera. Digital cameras just like for most people gives the photographer many advantages. In this article we are going to discover at some of these unique advantages.

First and foremost, a digital camera provides a photographer the ability to do a trial and error. What I mean by that, in times past when you took a photo you didn't know if it came out nice. Well with digital cameras we won't have to wait till the film roll is over to know anymore. The photos are right there for you to view to see if it came out good.

This has revolutionized my wedding photographer business. Mainly because I can make sure if a photograph came out good. If a photo doesn't look good I have the option to take the photo again and again till I like how it comes out.

Another advantage a digital cameras have is it has a much lower cost than a traditional camera. You don't have to worry too much if you have enough film or shell out some cash in purchasing some extra film. Now that you have the option of saving the photos on a disk you don't have to spend a lot of money when taking photos. Plus once you have to develop the film it doesn't have to be developed the old fashioned expensive way. This has helped reduce costs in my photographer business.

Last but not least, digital cameras provides you the advantage of adjusting a lot of settings in shooting a photo. In other words, you can have lots of different modes like night shots because the camera is so advanced. Or the settings when shooting a photo inside versus the settings when shooting a photo outside. The different settings are numerous and this allows you to take many different photos. This has helped tremendously in my event photography service.

As you have observed, there are plenty of advantages you can get from using a digital camera. As a photographer, you now have the option to use it to your advantage.

Instrumental Music 2.0 (Fascinating and Beautiful Sounds)

By Pablo Perez

The following report should be received as a testimony, not as doctrine or principle. God is creative and does with each person as He desires. You will not find Instrumental Music 2.0 by trying to imitate a particular experience, but rather by encountering the Fountain of Living Waters... God.

THE DOOR TO THE SUPERNATURAL

There is the natural realm and the realm of the Spirit. A heavenly door connects both worlds... this door was very real for the apostle John (Rev. 4:1-2). He looked and saw an open door in the heavens, and a voice said unto him, "come up here". Like if God was saying, "Down there you are not going to be able to see anything, you need to come up here; you have to pass through the door and enter into My world."


John, prior to this experience heard Jesus say, 'I am the door...' (Jn. 10:9), but now, he was finally beginning to understand the magnitude of what the Master had said.


When John passed through the door, he left the world of reason and entered the world of the Spirit... He left the natural in order to enter the supernatural. In the twinkling of an eye, John found himself before the throne of God and beheld the worship of heaven. Was this experience just for John? Of course not...


EXPERIENCING THE POWER OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC 2.0

It is not easy to describe it, but while I am ministering to the Lord with the piano (during a corporate worship service or in my personal devotions), there are moments in which He opens a door in the realm of the Spirit and invites me to come up.

Upon passing through the door... it is no longer I following Him, but rather He carries me. The harmony and the melody begin to flow with an indescribable freshness, difficult to express.

It is like a powerful river of which I am in the middle and its current takes me wherever it wants. It is like extending my wings and flying impulsively on the wind without limits or pressure, in perfect liberty.


SOARING IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT

The Scriptures declare: "Those who wait upon the Lord will rise up wings like eagles."(Is.40:31). The eagle extends its wings and surrenders itself to the power of the wind, at high levels, where the air currents are very strong. She moves its wings to reach the level of the current, but when it gets there, it extends its wings and allows the wind to propel it along.

In this way, the eagle arrives to heights that could not be reached otherwise. Something similar happens in the realm of the Spirit...

I can extend my wings and surrender myself to the wind of the Holy Spirit without any effort because it is He who moves me. In doing so... the harmony reaches new heights and then descends majestically. After descending, many times the music will begin to intensify (in crescendo) again, gaining more strength and power in proportion to the increase of the Spirit.

It is as if the Lord (above all, in services of corporate worship) wraps up all those present in His wings, lifting them to new heights of the glory of God. This instrumental music becomes inexpressible, powerful, majestic, and glorious.

At other times, it is as if the Cloud rests upon a chord, giving it sharpness and depth and bringing a holy silence to the place. Then He begins to descend like sweet dew, full of the presence of God. (Ps. 133:3). The music flows and tenderizes the hearts of the people, preparing the ground so that the seed of life will fall on good earth. As the book of Numbers declares: 'And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it' (Num. 11:9). When the dew of His presence drenches the human heart, then it is ready to receive divine nourishment- the Word of God.


This powerful heavenly music finds different expressions through every prophetic musician. What I've shared it's just the testimony of my own experience-which is just a drop in a big ocean...

It takes all of us to express the fullness and richness of this heavenly sound.

Is it possible to watch The Wolfman online?

By Jessica Daffey

You may be asking the question of how to watch The Wolfman online. To be short: yes you can. Many sites around the web state that they offer a stream to the new year's motion picture set to shake the box office.. So are we saying this is ethical?

That's really a tough decision to make. It certainly is a tough recession thus far and people really are strapped for cash. You can answer that.

The Wolfman stream displayed on a lot of websites do not, upon closer inspection, work. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of places stating you can watch The Wolfman online do not actually function like they state. So is there any hope for the poor internet user wishing to watch the horror flick for nothing?

The Wolfman stars Anthony Hopkins, a personal favourite of mine, along with Hugo Weaving who has previously starred in reknown films The Matrix as well as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Wolfman is set to rumble the box office and certainly looks like one to watch in the new year. Do we recommend you watch it? Definitely. How you watch it is entirely up to you however.

You may be startled to see what one can find in a good few hours of internet searching. Like any tech savvy guy, I ventured into the web for a good few hours scouring google for a place to watch the new years most looked forward to horror flick. Was I successful?

Well, maybe. Obviously even for an underground industry such as this, things take time to release.I did find a site that claims one can watch The Wolfman online. Am I certain it will? No I am not. But do I have anything to lose? what the hey! I'll bite the bullet and try one of these out.

Wedding Tips For Saving On The Photography Bill

By James Wong

Unfortunately the cost of wedding photography is usually very costly, sometimes thousands of dollars. Not everyone can afford extremely high priced photos of their perfect day. By following these few simple budgeting ideas you can save money on wedding photography.

Advertising for a photographer

Advertising and posting ads at a local college or university is a great place to find a photographer. New photographers will cost a lot less and they will have new ideas and skills that they can use.

Go digital

Instead of getting prints done, go digital. This keeps your hard earned money in your pocket. You can now choose this as an option because most photographers will offer you the idea. Get a CD rather then prints and proofs of all your pictures. Online photo developers can be a lot cheaper so it is a good idea to look into them.

Put your own album together

A great way to personalize all your pages in your album is to try scrap booking. No one will know your wedding and guests like you do. Scrap booking your wedding photography is a great way to go through your pictures and reflect on the moments. You will enjoy creating your album and not only that but you will also save hundreds of dollars opposed to having your photographer design an album, and they may not include pictures that your friends sent you as well.

You can choose how long you need the photographer for

How long do you really need your photographer around you? Instead of having them come with you when you re getting your hair done, make up done, and dress sized just get them to come for the ceremony and a bit of the celebration afterwards. A great way to get pictures of the bride preparing for the wedding is to have the bridesmaids take the photos.

21st Century - use disposables!

Having disposable cameras at the reception is also an excellent idea. After everything is said and done all you have to do is drop them off at a photo development outlet, then go through the ones you really like and make larger prints for frames around your house. You will probably end up getting a few funny photos but a lot of wonderful ones as well. This will also give you a wide variety of pictures because your guests will be taking pictures of each other and not just at the bride and groom. Get each table of guest to write on the camera who was taking the photos so you can add the detail into your album.

Television Becomes More Real

By Wayne Torres

Television networks are producing more factual and realistic shows to attract general viewing public. The masses seem to have more interests in watching ordinary people doing exuberant stuff.

Reality shows have become popular in the past few years among general viewing public. These hour long episodes attract attention because ordinary men become the cast of the program and they are in an unscripted situation struggling to reach their targets and perform tasks in the best manner in actual events.

There are several classifications under reality shows. TV networks came up with documentary style programs, elimination or game shows, makeovers or self-improvement, renovation, hoaxes, hidden cameras, talk shows, and dating shows.

General public remains tireless watching these reality shows. The people participating in the reality shows with new faces are unfamiliar to the camera. Contestants aren't too comfortable with the camera on them.

But anxiety can be seen in the contestants when they struggle for the prize. Viewers get to see the nervousness amongst the participants. For example, the contestants will travel around the world to find and beat clues to get the monetary prize in The Amazing Race.

Anxiety is seen as they try hard in running through airports, getting flight schedules, understanding a different language, and beating all the other contestants.

The TV actors do not show anxiety commonly on television. This scenario showing anxiety makes the episodes more real and connects the public to factual world.

Another example is the famous show Fear Factor, where we find contestants doing hazardous things to compete against each other. These activities are horrible and scary for some people.

Jumping off from a helicopter roving from 300 feet above the ground, eating live insects and to be in a coffin with just snakes become the scariest activities of the show. Participants face the fear and anxiety that no one can imagine.

Entertainment is really evolving into a totally different era. Being real in television is already considered as enjoyment for other people. A sense of fear and anxiety can really hype up the viewing audience. By watching reality shows such as these, it would give us the impression of what's real and what's not.

Enjoy a Movie at Home and Rent

By Mike Turner

Renting a movie is a great way to spend the night at home. It's a perfect solution to unwind from a hard days work. Just pop it in and relax on your sofa.

What can beat a great show with a few of your fave snacks sitting down on your comfortable chair? Especially after a dull of even stressful day.

And, no need to be greedy about having a great time. You can also share the enjoyment with your family and even make a family night out of it. Renting a movie is a great way to bond with the family.

Movies are a good source of shared conversations, and there is nothing wrong with unwinding as a family either.

You can pop a bag of popcorn, or you can go a healthier route if thats a concern. Those extras dont really matter - when you are all together, its great. Fruits and nuts can be great alternatives to less healthy snacks. Or you can skip the snacks entirely.

Heck, if the movie that you choose to rent is enjoyable, everyone will be too busy watching to worry about what they're eating anyway.

A really big trend going on right now is renting movies online. This option is absolutely perfect for those who tend to rent movies very often. Some of the online rental service providers offer full year memberships so that you can enjoy renting as much as you want all year round.

Of course, this is only a good option if you and your family rent movies on a regular basis. Compare the costs. It may be a great deal for you, especially if everyone in your house likes a different kind of movie.

10 of the Funniest Sitcoms in History

By Wayne Torres

Three's Company: This show started in the 1970s and was a surprise hit. A guy pretending to be gay and living with 2 women was very provocative back then. Maybe even taboo to many during that era.

10. The Dick Van Dyke Show. A downright hilarious show which has since then become a classic and a measuring stick for all comedians. Even as we approach an entirely new era in comedy, this show is still comparable.

8. Arrested Development. A newer show created by Ron Howard. Based on the lives of the once wealthy Bluth family. Very funny and unfortunately did not last a very long time on the air.

Seven. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Similar to Seinfeld, this sitcom's characters were selfish and insecure but also very funny.

Six. I Love Lucy. Possibly the most popular sitcom of all time. Since first airing in 1951, the reruns of this show have been non-stop.

Curb Your Enthusiasm. If profane language offends you, do not watch this show. Otherwise, very entertaining sitcom from the creator of Seinfeld. Talk about successful.

The Simpsons. If you haven't seen an episode of The Simpsons any time in the past 20 years, than you must be living under a rock. The Simpson family has delivered more laughs than the entire Just For Laughs festival.

Three. All In The Family. Not slap stick, laughing and rolling out of your chair funny, but funny just the same and incredibly ground breaking.

2. Seinfeld. The funniest sitcom of all time? Many believe so even down to the very last episode.

The Honeymooners. How funny can 4 characters in a kitchen be? Apparently, very funny. Insanely funny in fact and this show is still being aired on television for that very fact.

Clemson Upsets Miami In Overtime

By Ross Everett

The Clemson Tigers used a touchdown pass on their first possession of overtime to upset the Miami Hurricanes 40-37 on Saturday night to cap a back and forth game. Miami kicked a field goal on their first possession of overtime to take the lead, but Clemson responded with a seldom used play on third and 11 to get the victory as quarterback Kyle Parker completed a 27 yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford. Clemson improved to 4-3 with the win while Miami slipped to 5-2.

College football betting devotees who backed Clemson as +4 road underdogs eventually cashed their tickets, but they definitely earned their money in a game that saw twelve lead changes and two ties. Clemson improved to 5-2 against the spread with the cover, while Miami dropped to 4-3 against the money.

After the game, Jacoby Ford explained the logic for his suggesting the surprise play in the huddle:

"We knew this game was going to come down to who made more plays. And we did."

Miami has a history of winning when their offense is clicking-this loss was only the second in 115 games when the Hurricanes score 37 or more points dating back to'85.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was just glad this one is over:

"I have a birthday next month and I think I'm going to turn 50 instead of 40. We had to put on Superman capes. We made plenty of mistakes that could have lost us the game, but they played with poise and confidence. We just kept battling."

CJ Spiller was also a big factor for the Tigers as he set a school record with 310 all purpose yards including a 90 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He also added 81 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving with a 56 yard touchdown catch.

Clemson QB Parker suggested that last week's win over Wake Forrest was a turning point for his team:

"I think last week we realized that we could be really good and this week we acted on it. I thought we really got some explosive plays and we played well."

Miami's quarterback Jason Harris sounded a markedly different tone in his postgame comments:

"This has to be my toughest loss here. We fought so hard throughout the game as a team and didn't come out with the victory. We let Clemson outwork us, we turned the ball over too much -- little things that made us get to this point."

Clemson will host FCS foe Coastal Carolina next Saturday before resuming ACC play the following week at home against Florida State. Miami plays two of their next three on the road, starting next weekend at Wake Forest. They'll face the University of Virginia at home the next week before traveling to Chapel Hill for a game against North Carolina on November--.

Tips On Choosing An Event Photographer

By David Golez

An event photographer is someone who you want to photograph your wedding. You will need them to have acquired a few qualities such as style, motivation, experience and good communication. A well trained event photographer will only posses these qualities through experience, so making sure that they are well trained and can focus on what you want is important.

Every event photographer will have their own style. You will want to make sure that your thoughts about your wedding will correspond with their style. Otherwise you might end up having a unpleasant experience. Depending on the style that your event photographer will use will vary. Some photographers like to be classic and other like to be wild. Photos of the bride and groom, and the wedding party are examples of a traditional style. Wild styles can be anywhere from being totally serious in all of the photographs to making funny faces.

When choosing an event photographer you will want one who is highly motivated. You don't want to have someone who is inactive and sitting around missing all the good pictures they could be capturing. Motivation isn't just about wanting to do the job, but finding a way to appreciate it and bring trust as well as good verbal communication to everyone as well.

Experience can only come to an event photographer through time. Make sure you question your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they went to school and for how long, and who they were employed with before they went into business for themselves (if that is the case). Asking these questions can help you make a clearer decision when picking an event photographer. Ask their previous employer what kind of work they produced if they are now in business for themselves. It may be a sneaky way of getting information but it is better to find out then to have awful pictures produced.

Make sure that you are relaxed around your event photographer. When you are around them they should make you feel comfortable as well. This will help them in capturing the beloved photos later on at your wedding. If you are tense around your event photographer you will see that emotion in your wedding photographs

Special Effects Made Possible Through Green Screen Studio

By Phil Guye

Shooting at a Green screen studio isn't just a very good experience, but also one that doesn't shake your position up. Today, everyone looks to be giving a lot of thought to the quantity of money that they are spending on a picture. It is important for them to add each single greenback before shelling it out. No wastage can be afforded, because money is in such short supply. With the IRS breathing down your neck, trying to gather your taxes down to the last cent, the last thing you need is an issue with the money department. Therefore if you were to shoot at a facility like this, you might ensure that your money was spent well and not a cent went down the drain.

Searching for a studio to provide all those CGI effects generating technologies that a Green screen studio provides should be one of the things that are on the requirements list of a director. This is especially true if he's shooting a film that has dinosaurs and outsized snakes or a scene with J Lo and Brad Pitt lounging around sensuously on the mossy ground in an exotic, alien Amazon forest. He actually won't be successful if he is going to run around in a forest looking for these prehistoric creatures to physically shoot.

Instead, going to the technical staff of Green screen studio could help him a great deal. They'll be able to help him with workable suggestions for making just the kind of ambience that he's looking for. Considering the indisputable fact that he is trying to find something out of the Ice or Stone Age, he'll have to be clear on his needs. Whether its dinosaurs or the setting of an exotic land, anything is possible.

Once the wants are made known to the staff at Green screen studio, it is their job to provide all the tools that are required to ensure that the shot is done according to the specs provided. All thru the year, the staff is faced with challenging ever-changing eventualities where the requests keep getting more demanding than previously. Nonetheless, they try hard to provide what the director is attempting to find in order that they are able to maintain their reputation as a single-stop shop for all studio necessities.

Since the Green screen studio can be hired out by the hour, there are folk who are prepared to working out an arrangement so the studio can be hired for a longer period at a reduced cost. The amount paid also permits the director and his crew to be helped by a technical person who is able to make sure that all the equipment is working properly and in the right way. Once this is done, the work can go on unhindered and the final result will be miles better than the director was actually hoping for. Even artists begin to feel that sense of professionalism that pervades the whole studio, which engulfs the staff too.

TV Production and Green Screen

By Phillip Guye

The arrival of satellite television has seen the virtual explosion of TV channels, broadcasters, production houses and content producers. This is because satellite TV and direct to home platforms have indeed pushed the frontiers of TV broadcasting beyond all conceivable boundaries and onto a global scale. It is no wonder that TV networks across the world make use of the use of a Green screen.

One of the common methodologies that are utilized in TV program production is that of employing a Green screen in the background of the studio where a particular program is being shot. This is a component of the strategy of chroma key which deals particularly with the removal of certain photographs in the background of the shot and superimposing this with some other image, which is more suitable for the production. For instance, one can use a screen that is green in color behind a broadcaster who is reading out the weather reports. When viewers watch the program, the green or blue screen as the case may be , is replaced with a weather map or scenes of certain cities or satellite photographs being shown instead.

A Green screen is very helpful for chroma key uses, on account of the fact that the normal human skin tone has little elements of green in it. This assists in high standard of image superimposition as well as the replacing of background, without interfering much with the general view of the broadcaster who is standing in the foreground. If there had been any green tint or tone in human skin, parts of the body would became invisible when using the other colored screen, making the effect quite peculiar and highly indecorous and incongruous.

One of the main advantages of using a Green screen is that it is fairly easy to execute as well as being inexpensive. If one were to use a huge plasma or HDTV screen behind the broadcaster, the effect could be marvellous, but the cost would be far bigger than using a green screen. In these days of recession, where cost management is the key, the dice is loaded in favour of using less expensive options.

One can simply make a Green screen that may be used in TV program production. For this, something as straightforward as a table cloth may be employed. This cloth must be frequently painted, so that there are no smudges or uneven areas that would stand out when the show goes on air. One can also employ a plain wall that's uniformly painted in green to form the coloured background. One of the suggestions to remember when using such a screen is if the background image is one of trees or forests, green is a better colour to use than blue for the background, while if the image is of the sea or the sky, green wouldn't be so good. Using a green screen is therefore an efficient method of employing chroma key technique in television programme production, which is favored due to its simplicity and inexpensiveness.

Seattle Slew's Legacy Of Horse Racing Greatness

By Ross Everett

Seattle Slew died on May 7, 2002 at the age of 28. One of only 11 winners of horse racing's prestigious 'Triple Crown' he is by default considered among the all time greats in thoroughbred racing. Of the eleven horses to win the Triple Crown, he is the only one to do so with an undefeated record. He was also notable due to his humble beginnings, and is the only Triple Crown winner to have been purchased at public auction. He retired to stud in'78 and sired over 100 stakes race winners including'84 Kentucky Derby champion, Swale. Slew's offspring have earned a combined $76 million dollars at the race track. Slew wasn't the most majestic looking creature by the lofty standards of race horses, but was possessed with the heart, toughness and courage of a professional prizefighter.

The Seattle Slew story started at a public auction in Kentucky--not exactly a venue expected to produce a future champion. Slew, in particular, was an unlikely heir to greatness. He was somewhat clumsy looking due to a front right forefoot splay and had a shuffling gait at trot. Slew wasn't a beautifully majestic creature like his Triple Crown winning predecessor, Secretariat. In fact, he could have been considered borderline ugly--to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Baby Huey' by the Keeneland staff. What wasn't apparent at the time was Slew's mixture of championship intangibles--competitive desire, toughness, heart and enthusiasm. His owners had unwittingly stumbled onto an equine Muhammad Ali, and his competitive fire quickly became apparent to his trainers and jockeys. His first race came at Belmont Park in'76, and he entered--and won--three races as a two year old giving a glimpse as to what like ahead.

Slew became the Kentucky Derby favorite by winning his three prep races as a three year old, including prestigious Wood Memorial. In the Derby, Slew got off to a terrible start as he stumbled from the gate much like War Emblem did in the 2002 Belmont. Unlike 2002's Triple Crown contender, however, Slew was able to recover from that miscue and basically force his way through a pack of other horses to position himself at the front of the field at the quarter mile pole. Slew would win the Derby by a length and 3 quarters. He took another tough victory at the Preakness before clinching the Triple Crown with a 4 length victory in the Belmont Stakes.

Slew ran in a few races as a 4 year old but in the pre-Breeders' Cup days there wasn't as many opportunities for an older horse. He retired to stud in'78. We've already discussed his prowess in the breeding shed, siring a number of first rate horses such as the aforementioned Swale, and the'92 Belmont champ AP Indy. Slew stood at Three Chimneys Farm in Midway, Kentucky from'85 until early 2002 when he was moved to Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Lexington, KY following a spinal operation.

Slew may not have earned the appreciation he deserved in his prime, coming so closely on the heels of the charismatic'73 Triple Crown winner Secretariat--arguably the greatest thoroughbred race horse in history. The jockeys that rode him, however, understood fully what a special animal they were dealing with. Jockey Angel Cordero gave Seattle Slew this lofty praise: "If I had a chance to take any horse in the world, if someone said your life is depending on riding one horse to win, I would take (Slew). I rode 44,000 horses, but he was special, he was different. He was muscled, like a wrestler. He ran different than any other horse. It was like he came from another planet."

Slew was laid to rest at Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Lexington, under a statue.

Denver Surges Past San Diego To Remain Undefeated

By Ross Everett

The Denver Broncos are for real. The NFL's most surprising undefeated team certainly answered any remaining doubters on Monday Night Football as they used a fourth quarter surge to put away the San Diego Chargers 34-23. Broncos' QB Kyle Orton had another solid, mistake free game as he passed for 229 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Denver's special teams also excelled, with Eddie Royal becoming only the 11th player in NFL history to return a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the same game.

NFL football sports betting fans that backed the Broncos as +3 road underdogs were rewarded with the outright victory and Denver continued their season opening undefeated run against the pointspread (now 6-0 ATS). The Chargers, meanwhile, have only covered one of their five games this season. The 57 points scored went OVER the posted total of 44'. San Diego has gone OVER in four of their five games this year while Denver went OVER for the first time this season, leaving their NFL totals record at 1-5 O/U.

Royal was virtually untouched on both of his kick returns, a first quarter 93 yard kickoff return and a second quarter 71 yard punt return. After the game, he gave credit to his blockers:

"Man, it was a great feeling. The guys did a great job of blocking. I've got to give them a lot of credit. They opened up the seams and it was a home run."

Despite the rarity of his feat, he said he wasn't surprised that he turned the trick:

"You've got to believe it can happen before you do it. I've got a lot of faith in the guys in front of me, so I wasn't surprised."

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels also praised Royal's blockers:

"I think our guys did a great job of blocking and giving Eddie a chance to get started."

While losing coach Norv Turner lamented his team's poor kick coverage:

"It doesn't matter who you are playing; you give up two big returns on a punt and a kickoff and it makes it tough"

Chargers' QB Phillip Rivers talked about the loss and the team's slow start to the 2009 NFL season:

"It's going to be tough. We have to get over this one quick or we'll find ourselves in trouble in Kansas City because it's a short week."

Denver will get a week off to enjoy their 6-0 start before returning to action on November 1 at Baltimore. The following week they'll host the defending Superbowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football before traveling to Washington, DC to face the Redskins. San Diego will play at Kansas City this weekend with the Chargers a -5 road favorite and the total set at 44. They'll return home to face their hated rivals, the Oakland Raiders, on November 1 before a road game against the New York Giants the following Sunday.

Japanese Pro Wrestling Legend Mitsuharu Misawa Remembered

By Ross Everett

Mitsuharu Misawa died in Hiroshima, Japan earlier this year less than a week before his 47th birthday. He was in a tag team match for his Pro Wrestling NOAH promotion with Go Shiozaki against Bison Smith and Akitoshi Saito. Saito hit a back suplex on Misawa, which appeared to knock him unconscious. Medical staff attempted to revive him in the ring, but when CPR failed he was taken to a hospital by ambulance. Initial reports in the Japanese media suggest that he was pronounced dead at the hospital, but a number of eyewitness accounts have speculated that he may have died in the ring.

Thats at least a small bit of solace amid the tragedy of Misawas death"he died in the ring doing what he loved, and what he did better than just about anyone on the planet. Misawa's last moments were spent working the kind of brutally stiff, athletically realistic match that got a generation hooked on Japanese wrestling.

A top level amateur wrestler in high school, his skill gained the attention of All Japan Pro Wrestling president Shohei Giant Baba. He made his professional debut in'81, and got his first big break in'84 when he was chosen as the second Tiger Mask replacing Satoru Sayama. In'90, he had his longtime tag team partner (and occasional rival) Toshiaki Kawada unmask him.

Misawa would wrestle as himself from then on, and become an even bigger star in the process. In June,'90 he became one of the top stars in All Japan Pro Wrestling when he defeated Jumbo Tsuruta. That match was his first main event appearance at the famous Nippon Budokan. He soon faced Triple Crown Champion Stan Hansen in an unsuccessful challenge for the title, and would become the biggest star in Japanese pro wrestling for the next decade.

He had legendary battles against Kawada, Hansen, Kenta Kobashi, and Steve Dr. Death Williams in singles competition. Misawa would continue as a mainstay in AJPW until the early part of this decade. After the death of Giant Baba, he left to establish Pro Wrestling NOAH. He would serve as the companys president while wrestling a full time schedule until his untimely death.

Japanese pro wrestling served as an introduction for many American fans into shoot fight sports and MMA. Before the Internet, fans would trade videotapes to stay up on the latest matches from Japan and along with Jushin Thunder Liger and The Great Muta Keiji Mutoh it safe to say that Misawa is one of the wrestlers most responsible for getting a generation of American fans hooked on the product.

UFC 94 Flashback: GSP Destroys BJ Penn

By Ross Everett

BJ Penn entered his main event battle against welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre looking to become the first man in UFC history to simultaneously hold titles in two weight classes. GSP never gave him the chance to make history, as he stopped Penn after four increasingly dominant rounds to retain his belt with a TKO victory and make a compelling case for being the pound for pound best fighter in mixed martial arts.

During ring introductions, both men received enthusiastic cheers tempered with a few boos. After the opening horn sounded, however, the Penn backers had little to cheer about . The first round was fairly evenly contested, with St. Pierre trying to get a first hand feel for Penns often unorthodox takedown defense. GSP made several takedown attempts, but had them repeatedly stuffed.

Boxing guru Freddy Roach recently praised Penn as the best technical puncher in MMA, but he had no opportunity to bring this weapon to bear as he had trouble finding the range from the outset. St. Pierre was unable to complete any takedowns during the first round, but easily dictated the pace and style of the bout.

GSP began to assert his dominance in round two"with Penn starting to fatigue he was no longer able to fend off St. Pierres single leg takedown attempts by balancing on one leg. GSP got a takedown early in the frame and began to mount a ground and pound assault while moving around in Penns legendary guard almost at will moving from half guard to side control with frightening ease.

The eventual outcome was foretold between rounds two and three, as the obviously exhausted Penn required a pep talk from his entourage that his fatigue was all in his head. Across the cage, GSP calmly sipped water and listened intently to trainer Greg Jacksons instructions looking for all the world that he could go 12 rounds if necessary.

Round three was similar to the previous one, with GSP taking his opponent to the mat with a decreasing level of resistance and mauling him with punches and elbows once he got there. His complete control over the BJJ black belt Penn was incredible, but hardly surprising given the way that GSP dominated four time NCAA All American wrestler Josh Koscheck on the ground during their matchup. That may be the most exceptional thing about Georges St. Pierre"his willingness to attack his opponents strengths and success at doing so.

The fourth round was a wall to wall rout for the Canadian welterweight champion, who started by effectively trading strikes with Penn before taking him down once again and resuming his highly successful ground based attack. Penn survived the round on instinct alone, moving around just enough to keep the referee from stopping the proceedings. After the horn sounded to end the fourth round, however, it was evident that Penn had nothing physically or emotionally left. As he leaned headfirst against the cage in exhaustion, an impromptu conference amongst his handlers on whether or not to continue became moot when the fight was stopped by Dean on advice from the ringside physician. There was no argument whatsoever from Penn or his entourage.

Displaying his characteristic class, GSP delayed his celebration until he had crossed the cage and kneeled by his vanquished foe to honor his competitive spirit. After a quick celebration among GSP and his team, he faced his next challenger in the person of Thiago Alves.

In the co-feature attraction, Lyoto Machida kept his undefeated professional MMA record intact with a first round TKO victory over Thiago Silva. Silva had no answer for Machidas well rounded skills and unorthodox Shotokan karate based style. Machida took his opponent down and knocked his opponent down twice"all counters as Silva was coming forward and Machida backing away. As the first round entered its final seconds, it appeared that Silva started to ease up in anticipation of the horn. Machida used this opportunity for another takedown, and then nailed his surprised opponent with a powerful punch that ended the fight.

Favre Ends Retirement, Will Play For Minnesota

By Ross Everett

The retirement of Brett Favre is becoming an annual rite of the NFL preseason, and this year is no different. A few months after retiring from football after playing last season with the New York Jets, The Gunslinger is back in the NFL and will play for the Minnesota Vikings.

Favre made his announcement at a Tuesday press conference where he spoke of the decision to come back for another NFL season:

"I felt I did everything I possibly could do to get where I need to be. You're 39, your arm may not feel like it did at 21. But the pieces are in place that you don't have to do that much and I agree with that. If they were willing to take that chance, I was, too. I don't know how I'll feel a year from now, five years from now, but I didn't want to say what if.

The Vikings will pay Favre $12 million this season and $13 million next season. If he makes the opening day roster in either year, he gets the full amount of the contract though the payments themselves will be deferred.

Favres mother was even asked for her thoughts on the matter:

"I have mixed emotions, but I have always loved to watch him play. This time, however, I thought he would stay retired and stay home. I guess he could not do it. They Minnesota seem to have a good team in place, and he liked that. I guess I need to get a Vikings jersey now."

Favre initially decided to not return to the NFL due to a torn rotator cuff suffered last season. After consulting with noted sports physician James Andrews, he had a change of heart:

"I just kept thinking I didn't want to go through what I did last year. Between three weeks ago and the phone conversation yesterday [with Vikings coach Brad Childress], I talked to Dr. [James] Andrews and he assured me it wouldn't be an issue. I felt if everyone was going to take that chance, I was to. As friends and family has told me, you never know until you take the chance,"

Favre said that during a practice throwing session several weeks ago that his arm didn't feel 100% but did feel pretty good leading him to take the chance and return to action:

"I felt from my standpoint that I could offer some experience and leadership, and I have to admit through this whole process after I said no three weeks ago, sometimes I was OK with it, and other times I said. I can really help this team."

Favre will wear his iconic #4, thanks to Vikings fourth string QB Josh David Booty who graciously gave up the number. Booty will wear #9.

UFC 87 Flashback: Brock Lesnar Comes Of Age

By Ross Everett

The last time that Georges St. Pierre defended his UFC welterweight title, it quickly turned into the low point of his career. Already facing a number of personal issues away from the cage, he looked sloppy and distracted as Matt Serra defeated him by brutal TKO. This time, things were different"before an enthusiastic and knowledgeable crowd at Minneapolis Target Center arena GSP brutalized Jon Fitch over five rounds to win an easy unanimous decision.

After a dominant takedown to open the fight, followed by a barrage of GSP punches it looked as if Fitch wouldnt make it out of the first round. He managed to survive, though generated little offense the rest of the way as the champion had his way with him both on the ground and in standup striking exchanges. Fitch landed enough counterpunches to open a cut near the champions eye, but never even came close to winning a round. Fitch had to gut his way through another tough moment in the 4th, where a big knee followed by a flurry of kicks and punches had him on the verge of a TKO loss yet again.

As the final horn sounded, GSP bowed down in front of Fitch in a nice, Muay Thai inspired show of respect. In yet another moment that is thankfully commonplace in fighting and all too rare in other sports, Fitch and GSP sat knee to knee in the center of the cage congratulating each other for over a minute as their respective cutmen worked on their wounds.

And theres very likely not another athlete like Brock Lesnar even within the ranks of fightsport competitors. In his 3rd professional MMA bout the amateur wrestling legend turned WWE champion displayed a brutally effective new fighting style along with stellar patience and cage control as he obliterated tough and highly experienced Heath Herring. Lesnar received a thunderous ovation from his adopted home state as he entered the cage to the sounds of Motley Crues Shout at the Devil.

From that point forward, Herring was completely out of the fight though he repeatedly demonstrated his toughness by staying in the fight and not tapping out to strikes as had Min Soo Kim in Lesnars MMA debut. Unlike Lesnars gameplan against Frank Mir in his UFC debut"when he clearly wanted to overwhelm his opponent for a quick win"perhaps the most impressive element of his improvement as a fighter was his patience. There were a number of occasions where Lesnar could have tried and finished the fight by placing himself at greater risk, but took the conservative approach. The result is a fight style that is almost frightening, with Lesnar able to leverage his world class ground control skills"along with his downright indefensible takedowns"to keep his opponent under control while he imposes his will using his size and strength and does damage with his massive hands and knees.

Overall, Lesnars performance bordered on amazing"a serious case could be made that he won all three rounds by 10-8 margins, though all three judges scored the fight 30-26. He repeatedly took down and threw around the 64 250 Herring like he was a welterweight, and controlled the fight to such a degree that his opponent didnt land more than a half dozen strikes during the entire fight"and none which were particularly effective.

Lesnars win gives a much needed boost to the UFCs barren heavyweight division. While it may be premature to consider him a top 10 heavyweight, should Lesnar continue to develop his potential in the sport is limitless.
