Finding Nemo (DVD) Review

Finding Nemo (DVD) Review

by: Britt Gillette

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Finding Nemo continues the Disney tradition of producing high-quality, blockbuster films that entertain audiences of all ages. Featuring the wonders of the Pixar animation technology, the film is a breathtaking window into the future of animated pictures, with borderline 3-D visual effects and the introduction of original animated film techniques certain to influence future masterpieces. Boasting a slew of talented voiceovers such as Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Alexander Gould, Willem Dafoe, and John Ratzenberger, Finding Nemo is certain to maintain a place in the hearts of children of all ages for generations to come.The epic story begins somewhere in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia. A clown fish named Marlin (Albert Brooks) lives a wonderful life in a peaceful underwater colony of fish and other fascinating sea life with his wife. However, that serene setting is demolished when a vicious predator attacks their home, killing his wife. Distraught, Marlin takes comfort in the egg left behind which grows into his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould). Because of this early trauma, Marlin is extremely overprotective when it comes to Nemo. He follows a step behind everywhere his son goes, makes Nemo stay in the house whenever possible, and remains quite apprehensive about his son going to school. Marlin’s fears are realized when Nemo is captured on his first day of school and taken away to live in a fish tank on land. Intent on freeing his son, Marlin sets out on a bold and daring quest to retrace the path of the abductor’s boat. Wandering through the ocean depths, he meets up with Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) – an absent-minded, yet friendly – fish who remains determined to help her new friend recover his lost son. Together, they encounter a pack of sharks and a countless array of diverse and fascinating underwater creatures. Meanwhile, Nemo is plunged into a dentist office fish tank overlooking Sidney Harbor where he meets a number of new and exciting friends. The other aquatic life, long confined to the tank themselves, initiate Nemo into their fraternity, revealing the history of their attempts to escape. Enlisting Nemo as their point man (or fish), they concoct a number of schemes such as clogging the tank’s filter so they can make a break for it when they’re taken out for the tank cleaning. With the threat of the dentist presenting Nemo as a present to his nerdy niece, the stakes are raised for our young hero and time is of the essence. Sporting one of the best written animated screenplays of all-time and a breathtaking original score by Thomas Newman, Finding Nemo is a pleasurable affair for both parents and children. The writers pull off an admirable job of combining adult and kid humor throughout the script in such a way that it doesn’t detract from the experience for either age group. With a number of likeable characters, the audience will find itself rooting for Marlin, Nemo, and all their friends to accomplish the task before them. Overall, this is a must-see film for all age groups, not only because of the great story and artful performances, but if anything, simply because the animation is a wonder in-and-of itself.

How to Watch Movies on Your PSP

by: Neil Wallace

If you’re like most people who own one of Sony’s beautiful PlayStation Portables, you’re probably in love with it. But you also want to be sure you get the most out of your investment and enjoy every one of its incredible features. And that includes the ability to watch all your favorite movies.Sony’s PlayStation Portable or PSP, built primarily for gaming, comes fully equipped with superb multimedia features. So if you thought it was just for playing games, think again. Not only can you play multiplayer games over the Internet, you can also watch movies, listen to music, browse the Internet, and more. It uses a small, yet powerful, Memory Stick PRO Duo, and the performance is superb due to advanced technology using Mp4 encoding. Mp4, also known as MPEG-4, is the global multimedia standard defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group that delivers professional-quality audio and video streams over a wide range of bandwidths. Mp4 enables DVD-quality video to be delivered at lower data rates and smaller file sizes, and that’s very important on smaller devices with limited storage capacity. Your PSP comes ready to play music and movies in Mp4 format. Transferring music and movie files to your PSP is easy. First, download the files you want from the Internet to your PC. Second, ensure any movies are in mp4 format. Third, transfer the files to your Memory Stick PRO Duo. Your PSP instruction manual offers several ways to do that.  Finally, insert the Memory Stick PRO Duo in your PSP and select either video or music from the home menu. This is a beautiful device and it would be a shame to use it only for one purpose and to miss out on all its other uses. So I guess now you’ll be watching movies, listening to music and playing games, all day long. Who’s going to get any work done?

The Lion King (DVD) Review

The Lion King (DVD) Review by: Britt Gillette   Winner of two Academy Awards for Best Music, both Original Score and Original Song, The Lion King would have won Best Picture had it not been an animated film. Arguably the greatest full-length animated Disney feature of all time, The Lion King is a drama of epic proportions, and a film that forever extended the boundaries of the animation genre. Hans Zimmer creates an original score that is second to none in cinematic history, and Elton John’s hit single “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” swept the nation upon the film’s release. With powerful and often mesmerizing visual sequences, the use of a timeless plot device, and brilliant direction, the film will stand the test of time as one of the best movies ever produced.The Lion King takes place in Pride Rock, a serene jungle paradise on the African plain. In Pride Rock, every animal lives as part of a harmonious ecosystem, ruled by the greatest animal of all, the strongest and wisest lion, King Mufasa. When Mufasa’s wife gives birth to the lion cub Simba, the young heir’s Uncle Scar hatches a plot to overthrow his brother and take the kingdom by force. Forming a conspiracy with a pack of wild hyenas, Scar’s evil plan is to lure Simba and Mufasa into a valley where the hyenas stir up a herd of wildebeests which end up trampling Mufasa and leaving him clinging for his life on the edge of a cliff. With Mufasa’s life hanging in the balance, Scar seizes the opportunity to send his brother hurling to a bloody death. With the king gone, and Simba too young to defend the kingdom, Scar and the hyenas ascend to power. Pride Rock is soon reduced to a desolate wasteland as its newest rulers ravage the landscape, while Simba is forced into exile. Fleeing to a faraway land free of predators, Simba befriends Pumbaa and Timon, a warthog and meerkat who live carefree lives feasting on grubs and insects. But as time passes, a chance encounter reunites Simba with his childhood destiny. Can Simba return to Pride Rock and reclaim his rightful position as king, or will he succumb to the temptations of an easy life, free from conflict and responsibility? Widely regarded as the greatest animated film in Disney’s arsenal, and certainly the best of the computer-generated era, The Lion King is a cinematic masterpiece in any medium. If you tend to shy away from animated films as childlike or simply just not your cup of tea, you would be well advised to make an exception for The Lion King. It’s quite simply an extraordinary epic, replete with dazzling choreography, well-blended musical scores, and characters the audience loves to root for. In one particular scene, the Disney animators’ use of Leni Riefenstahl’s patented camera angles to capture the hyenas marching in lock-step under the singular review of Scar creates an abundance of subconscious images reminiscent of Hitler and the Third Reich. This illusion plants a manifestation of evil in the mind of the viewer that is instantly connected to Scar and his evil intentions… That’s the type of symbolic and all-engrossing power Disney utilizes in this wonderful masterpiece – loved  by children, yet replete with deeply probing themes and breathtaking visual images for the adult audience. A perfect 10 of a movie.

Classical Paint by Numbers

Classical Paint by Numbers by: Morgan Hamilton   When you were a kid did you use those paint by numbers projects? Many people have fond memories of paint by numbers. It hearkens back to their childhood and a more innocent time.  Do you recall those pictures, with all the lines and the different numbers, and each number corresponded to a different color? I sure do, and they were great fun.All of the colors came in a little package with the picture, and at the end you were supposed to get a picture that looked like the picture on the box or on the back of the package. It didn’t usually work out that way, but I remember that I gave my best shot.  For kids, these paint by numbers kits eventually got to the point where very little actual painting was needed, and soon just getting the paper a bit wet magically produced the color for you. There were a lot of take-up is on this concept and continues to be today.  Kids can still get traditional paint by numbers kits though, and produce wonderful watercolor pictures of whatever subject matter is available. In the 1950’s, though, this was considered to be an actual art form, every bit as valid as oil painting and sculpture. You could take classes in paint by numbers, and many hobbyists took up paint by numbers, painting very nice copies of other people’s art and happily framing them or having them professionally framed and hanging them on the wall.  They even had copies of the classics such as Picasso and Renoir. People actually had jobs creating paint by numbers pictures, which must have been an interesting way to make a living. For those that used paint by numbers it was a wonderful way for some month otherwise would have limited artistic talent to create beautiful masterpieces. Some individuals even honed their skills with the paint by numbers and became accomplished artists in their own rights, creating their own works of art.  But the vast majority were simply more than happy to create whatever set up was included in and hang them proudly on their walls. It was still an accomplishment in something that people enjoyed doing. It was a nice way to dabble, yet still having the certainty of knowing what your masterpiece would look like at the end.  Believe it or not, paint by numbers pictures actually became rather popular and could be seen in many homes. Paint by numbers allowed people to begin using their free time to do a craft. It was a wonderful way to pass the time and just great keepsakes.  And just because the numbers were there, didn’t always mean you had to follow them.  Of course, paint by numbers artists were limited by the drawings that the cake came with, but that wasn’t always the case. Many of the artists individualized their work by altering the picture slightly, perhaps blurring some of the lines, perhaps by omitting a part of the picture that they did not like. And of course having full discretion of which colors to use and where. Paint by numbers was a rather fascinating phenomenon, and its popularity still surprises people even now. I know it surprised me.  I always thought of it as something that small children did.  Paint by numbers was nice though because it actually allowed the average person to create a wonderful work of art by their own hand.

Basic Photography Tips from Photo Field Imaging

Basic Photography Tips from Photo Field Imaging

by: Stephen Cornfield – Photo Field Imaging

You found this articile because you are interested in photography or live in the Newmarket Ontario area, which is located just north of Toronto.  My name is Stephen Cornfield and I own a company called Photo Field Imaging (www.photofieldimaging.com).  We provide photographic as well as digital photo editing and digital scanning services (photographs, negative and slides).   As a photographer in Newmarket Ontario, I have found that no matter where you are, there is a seemingly endless amount of subjects to shoot.  All you have to do at times is to open your eyes and go find them.  Sometimes when I go out I do not know what I will find.  Often, though, I will have an idea of what I would like to shoot, but finding the exact subject and location for my idea do not always come together. In the Newmarker area there are many outdoor places that can provide you with photographic opportunities.  Fairy Lake (my favourite) and the trial systems are just a couple.  You can also shoot indoors at “The Tannery” once a permit has been attained. As you go around and talk to photographers you will find that some love landscapes, for others it is wildlife but for me it is people.  Does that mean that I do not occassionaly go and intentionally shoot landscapes or wildlife?  Of course I do, when the opportunity arises.  I love shooting people in both formal and informal settings.  By formal settings I mean for occassions when people are dressed up and are expecting to be posed or posing in certain ways (i.e. weddings).  Informal settings could be birthday partings, social get togethers, etc..   To me, when I am looking for a shooting location I am always thinking background, background, background.  What is in the background?  Will the background be a distraction in the photograph?  Will the background serve as simply background or a backdrop?  Is there garbage or other unwanted artifacts lying around?  Will the background add to or take away from the subject?  Trust me.  A background can either make or break a photograph. The second thing that I look for is lighting.  What time of day is it?  Is the sun high in the sky?  Is it overcast (i.e. cloudy)?  Etc.  I personally love to shoot on overcast days, where the light is more diffused (i.e. no harsh shadows or “speckly” backgrounds).  If the light is harsh then I prefer to shoot in shady areas where the light can be more controlled.  If I am shooting a subject that is out in the open I try to make sure that the scene is not backlit.  If a scene is backlit it can make it very difficult to get proper exposure for the intented subject. Last, but not least, is the subject.  Even a photo of my beautiful wife can turn out bad if the first two steps have not been completed properly.  When working with your subject some things to be considered are:  How is the subject posed?  How is their posture?  Are they sitting/standing straight or do they have rounded shoulders?  How are there hands positioned?  Are their hands simplying hanging like clumps of meat or are they doing something?  I personally like to have the guys with their hands behind their backs or one hand in their pocket with the other leaning or resting on someone or thing. I believe that if you are mindful of these things, your photographic results will greatly improve. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Stephen Cornfield
