Letter to Sarah https://www.insidehook.com/article/movies/the-perfect-ken-burns-coronavirus-binge-watch-plan Ken Burns is a documentary Filmmaker who developed a story-telling technique of scanning, panning and zooming across old historical photographs to create a sense of movement and to focus attention on different parts of the image as he unfolds the story. Burns, known for his documentaries of historical events, has been a prolific Filmmaker, covering such subjects as the Statue of Liberty (1985), Baseball (1994) and the Vietnam War (2017). The following excerpt from his highly-acclaimed documentary "The Civil War" has become emblematic of the power of his method of story telling. The scene combines Burns'  technique with live film to tell the story of a letter home, written on the eve of battle. The "scan & pan" effect (formally known as "kinestasis") as Burns used it, became known as the "Ken Burns Effect" and w

Time https://qz.com/1516804/physics-explains-why-time-passes-faster-as-you-age/ Time. Time is a funny thing--it is measured by scientific instruments and there are universal units and standards--including insanely accurate Atomic Clocks--that keep the whole world running on time. Despite this, we all experience Time in different ways, at different times. You've all heard the expression "Time flies when you're having fun" and I'm sure you've all experienced (not in my class, heaven forbid) boring lectures that seemed to go on for hours. Our perception of Time is colored,  among other things,  by our moods, our health, our activities and the schedules that we keep. So during this disruption in our regularly routines, Time has changed for all of us. For some, the days may be flying by, for others, dragging on slowly. But regardless of our perceptions, the passage of Time creeps uniformly forward, second by second, hour by hour, day by day.

Non-Denominational, Spring Ovoids That Just Might Be Appropriate  For The Mid-April Holiday Of Your Choice https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/144933-traditional-patterned-easter-eggs-vectors We will continue this week with another Pixlr-based Project intended to enhance your familiarization with Pixlr and the Pixlr workspace. Your challenge will be to *(convincingly) apply an image/pattern/design to ovoid shapes.  For the purposes of demonstration eggs are employed, but you could use any ovoid shape--a football, or um, a rugby ball, or, OK, I'm stumped.  Make it easy on yourself and use an image of eggs.   You may use the image below: You can also find a different copy-right free image online or, if you are ambitious (or hungry) create your own image. In any event, you will need a picture of at least 3 eggs. The Project can be completed in Photoshop as well as Pixlr, but if you are going to use PS, you will want to read through the

Pixlr Tutorial for Filling Shapes (Ovoid & Otherwise) Images Used Click the Open Image button in Pixlr. Browse to your eggs image (previously downloaded and on your device) and open it in Pixlr. Click the + symbol in the Layers Panel located just below your Background Layer to add a Layer. Select "Image" and browse to the pattern/design/photograph/etc. that you will be filling the ovoid shapes with (also previously downloaded to your computer). If you have more than one image for your fill layers, repeat. Open the image, noting that you now have 2 (possibly more, if you have more than 1 fill image) Layers in the Layers Panel. Click the 3 vertical dots to the left of your 2nd Layer to bring up the Layer Settings window. Using the Transparency slider, adjust the transparency allowing you to clearly see the eggs image in the Background Layer. A transparency level of 30 was used here.
