![]() ![]() In the age of social media, I think we begin to take some of our relationships for granted, and we don’t necessarily value those close to us as we should. ![]() Regarding the content, I wanted to do something about self-appreciation and emotion. The timing also coincided with me wanting to create a personal project that was more than just pretty visuals. Hidden was born from some style frames I created for another project which sadly didn’t get chosen. It also serves as a way of not being in front of a screen all day.Ĭan you briefly describe your inspiration for Hidden? Being able to be on location, physically see what I want to capture and make creative decisions as to how I want to do that capture helps to inform how I create similar images in the computer. It’s somewhat of a similar but different process, instead of creating, you’re capturing. When doing a 3D based piece, there is a process you must go through to materialise the image in your mind, in live action it’s instant. Since going freelance in 2016, I’ve had the chance to work with companies such as Method, Psyop, MPC, Buck, Apple and most recently Cash App.ĭoes using personal projects to express yourself in film making have a positive impact, if any, to your 3D Design and VFX career? Notably, I had the chance to work on the Main Title for Manhattan which won the 2015 Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design. I landed a job at Imaginary Forces before graduating where I honed my skills. This triggered a snowball effect of learning which quickly led me to After Effects and Cinema 4D.Īfter some deliberation as to what I wanted to study at school (it was between Software Engineering and Graphic Design) I enrolled in a BFA program at the Savannah College of Art of Design and moved to the United States in 2010. I quickly fell deep into the rabbit hole of photo manipulation. At this point, around the age of 18, I rediscovered a love for photoshop. I never thought of art as a serious career until I graduated high school as my studies always focused on Sciences. ![]() This morphed into a passion for drawing which eventually led me to open photoshop around the age of 15. Like most kids, I loved cartoons growing up. I kind of stumbled into Motion Design by accident. I’m a Senior Cinema 4D Generalist/Designer currently based in New York City that’s originally from Trinidad and Tobago. Hidden is an emotive piece of film making based on the thoughts and feelings of which we hide from one another. Each of the figures in the film represent an emotion fear - chains, love and affection - crystals, greed and ambition - gold, and joy and happiness - flowers.Ĭan you tell us a bit about yourself, Sekani and how you got into motion graphics and VFX? Last year, Sekani Soloman created a full CG short film. ![]()

![]() After one of his martini lunches, the editor in chief stumbled over to my cubicle and slurred, “Can I come into your box?” “Sure,” I breathed, testing my burgeoning sexuality, “come.” Later in the week, he gave me Susan Minot’s story collection, Lust and Other Stories, as a gift. Sexual slurs, I soon discovered, occurred offhandedly between coworkers no one seemed to realize how deeply the magazine’s content had invaded our psyches. At the other end of the spectrum was the prudish, tight-lipped copy editor who let me proofread every article except the Forum, as if this would preserve my fast-fleeting purity. She crossed out sentences with red pencil between chortles and burst Bubblicious bubbles. The Forum editor was a smart-talking, gum-chewing, big-haired gal who wore spandex pants nearly every day. I also liked the mailman and the lusty ladies on his route who licked his postage stamps (and more). My favorite was the well-endowed lawn boy who, with a few deep thrusts, defrosted the haughty housewife. Hunched over my desk, I found myself more than slightly aroused by my first-time foray into libidinous wordplay. Then there were the infamous Penthouse Forum letters-the sexual escapades, real or imagined, of “ordinary” men. Much of my time was spent reading the slush pile, which was composed of bizarre, poorly written short stories, usually sci-fi, where women’s measurements were more amply described than character or plot line. (To rationalize their work, they quoted the First Amendment constantly, with the righteous flourish of Bible-thumpers.) Some appeared indifferent to my presence, while others looked me over with concern, as if they were witnessing the conclusion of my wholesome girlhood. He led me around the narrow banks of cubicles and introduced me to everyone on staff, most of whom were women. Peter was middle-aged, with dark, thinning hair, though his strongest feature was his teeth, which were incredibly crooked, giving him a kinky menace when he smiled at me. I was certain he could discern, with his pornographer’s X-ray vision, that I was still a virgin. The editor in chief looked me over as if I were Snow White fluttering into his den of perversity. My first day, I wore a pressed skirt and blouse, though when I emerged from the elevator into a corridor hung with framed posters of naked Pets on Bob Guccione’s knee, I wondered whether the dress code was nothing at all. He’d drop me off at the Penthouse offices on Broadway and then head crosstown to his upstanding job at the United Nations. Please for the love of God avoid this show at all costs.Every morning, my father and I would commute together from suburban Long Island. The entire cast is made up of self loving idiots who have not even the slightest of redeeming qualities and the setups production uses to test their "inner beauty" are about as absurd as the premise itself. True Beauty is a series that is impossible to get into being there is no one to root for. My faith in reality shows (which I am an admitted addict) has surreptitiously dropped overnight from a 75%+ positive to - 7. Suffice it to say, I will not be watching next week. As for Cheryl Tiegs, sure I had a poster of her on my wall when I was 10, but lets just say I wouldn't have one of her current incarnation and beyond her looks she brings nothing to the table accept an awkward self righteous stare (I don't have much to add about Nolé Marin being he hardly spoke. I sat horrified, not at the self involvement of the "beauties" bestowed upon us, but rather at the cutesy cut shots to Vanessa Minnillo which were constantly over the top and utterly superfluous. ![]() ![]() Welcome to the Parker, The Next Food Network Star, Age of Love (OK, I am really busted here) - but this had a head above the rest in the insufferable cast and even worse hosting department. Heck, I openly watch bad reality shows quite often. ![]() It was the worst reality show I have ever seen - and I have seen plenty. After getting sucked into watching The Bachelor last night, my TV stayed tuned to ABC (it was a slow night) and I decided to watch True Beauty (solely for the train wreck factor.) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Change the default memory to 4096 and click Nextħ.

![]() ![]() Of those, only 300-500 show any activity on a regular basis (daily or weekly change in prestige totals - prestige increases anytime you make troops or build something in the game)." ![]() They have approximately 200 "worlds", and each world has between 8000 to 25000 accounts. "In my estimation, Evony has probably has a maximum of a half-million to million active players. Another former Evony player - who we'll call "Thor" because, well, why not? - told us how he came up with an estimate for the number of players: 'Twas ever thus on server-based MMORPGs, of course. "Evony have regular purges and kick large numbers of people off the game for "cheating". ![]() "The overwhelming majority register, see that it has no breasts, then leave." (A reference to Evony's infamous web advertising campaign of mid-2009.) "Very many players have multiple registrations which confer great advantage when playing the game," Everiss notes. "The Evony figure for players is for all the people who have ever registered for the game," he told us by email. What on earth is going on? Where have all the "players" gone? More to the point, were they ever there?īruce Everiss, who was the victor when Evony tried to sue him for libel - except that Gifford's testimony was torn apart in the court in a way that would make Perry Mason whistle appreciatively - is quite clear that the 18m (or 20m or 16m) number is just a bit of inflation: So that's a sudden addition of 4m players in the course of four days, followed by a dropoff of 2m. (Click here for larger version.) (Note that the dates on the brown panel are in American MM-DD-YYYY format - not UK DD-MM-YYYY format.)Įven so, this is still contradictory, because in an email to the Guardian on 8 April, Gifford told the Guardian "both Evony, LLC and Regan Mercantile, LLC hope attention will turn to the game that 16 million people have enjoyed." Here's the screenshot we took on 12 April. Where did the other 2m go? And were they ever real? screenshot on 12 April 2010: here it claims 20m players. ![]() ![]() ![]() conflicted with other travel plans I had made to follow Depeche Mode around Europe and England for several weeks. I’d never had an opportunity to see the band, so I was both thrilled and disappointed when the dates were originally announced, as everything on the left half of the U.S. Christine McVie then retired from the band and touring as Fleetwood Mac. In 1988 They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band had a proper reunion in 1997 to record a live concert for the live album The Dance. Stevie Nicks also left the band in 1991, and the line-up did not perform together again until requested to do so by then President Bill Cliniton for his 1993 Inauguration Ball. Afterwards, Lindsey Buckingham left the band and was replaced with other guitarists for the decade that followed. Again, another album with fantastic songs like “Little Lies”, “Big Love”, “Everywhere”, and “Seven Wonders”. Of course, “Gypsy” remains one of their biggest hits.ġ987’s Tango in the Night was the last album with the core line-up of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks. Though not as commercial or critically successful, 1982’s Mirage was a favorite of mine… at the dawn of the MTV era, I remember the video for “Hold Me” being in heavy rotation for a short period, at least. Tusk, the 1979 double album follow-up, was more experimental and long, clocking in with 20 tracks, and included more hits (“Tusk”, “Think About Me”, and “Sara”). The biggest tracks were “Go Your Own Way”, “Don’t Stop”, “Dreams”, “The Chain”, “Gold Dust Woman”, and “You Make Loving Fun”. The follow-up, 1977’s Rumours, bowed countless hits, was awarded a Grammy for Album of the Year, and has sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide, making it the third highest-selling album of all time. The newly restructured band recorded their eponymous album together, which reached #1 in the U.S. With Fleetwood Mc looking for a new guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham and then girlfriend and recording partner Stevie Nicks were a package deal, and music history was made. Originally a 60s-era British blues band, the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had to have been fate, as there is no other real plausible explanation.Īs wonderfully revealed in Dave Grohl’s Sound City documentary released earlier this year, it was nothing short of a bizarre accident that Keith Olsen (Sound City’s engineer) played Mick Fleetwood a track from Buckingham Nicks – “Frozen Love” – which was recorded at the retrospectively famous recording studio… and the Lindsey Buckingham just happened to be in the studio working at that moment. Neale Heywood (rhythm guitar, backing vocals)įleetwood Mac, in it’s mid-70s forward incarnation, is the band that should have never been.Brett Tuggle (keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals).Who: Fleetwood Mac Venue: Sleep Train Arena Where: Sacramento, California Promoter: Live Nation When: JSeating: Floor Center in Front of Stage (center floor section, approximately 3rd row, dead center also photo pass first three songs from mixing console at rear of floor) leg of their tour, and certainly inspires one to start following them around Europe later this year… What really hit home is how much they appreciate their fans, which was expressed not just in the performance but in eloquent statements from Nicks and Fleetwood to close out the show, calling us their “Dreamcatchers”, and really articulating the music fan/musician dynamic better than I’ve ever heard before. This is a band who know who they are, and haven’t strayed from their identity in sound or fashion. John McVie is content to leave center stage to the others, throwing down his bassline and keeping everything on the tracks as much as possible. Mick Fleetwood is like Zeus (or maybe a mad pirate), with twin balls hanging (in a dangling/dancing sort of way) from his belt. I think it cements Lindsay Buckingham as the true rock God of the 70s/80s generation and Stevie Nicks, fittingly, as the rock Goddess. As amazing as those other performances had been, they did not prepare me for the magic of having their best line-up (unfortunately sans Christine McVie) on stage together. I did see Lindsay Buckingham on his own last year, and Stevie Nicks with Dave Grohl’s Sound City Players earlier this year, so have had bursts of greatness, which really fed my desire to see them together as Fleetwood Mac even more. Have loved this band since I was a kid, but have never seen them live, so this was an eagerly anticipated show for me. ![]() It isn’t often that real, genuine rock and roll legends come into my hometown of Sacramento to perform in concert, but after last night’s Fleetwood Mac show at Sleep Train Arena, they’ve set the bar quite high for any act to follow. ![]() ![]() ![]() Check it out!ĭo you know that in the past, Android users had to visit different platforms to get their desired content.
