Hipsters have taken over the streets, with a major demonstration planned in Melbourne and Sydney. Demonstrators are expected to meet in the CBD as many in the city are planning to wear fancy new black and white polo shirts. And, as in Hong Kong, the crowds aren’t leaving town until the end of July. The […]
First and foremost, the filmmaker must choose how he wants to express his vision, the idea of the film, to the audience. Often, when filmmakers first decide to create a visual effect, he will create the most compelling visual effects for the story or his own vision. After that, the effects may be reused but […]
If you have never run a CGI script, use the -m option to invoke the CGI tool. For example, to start a command-line script with the -m command-line argument: ./mushreq.sh -m /path/to/config The command-line argument is optional, but it’s nice to have.

I’ve found that it’s best to […]
