January 2019: Citipati
In Citipati (Director: Andreas Feix | Producer: Francesco Faranna) we follow a dinosaur in his last moments, in which he, in an inhospitable world, succumbs to the effects of fatigue and his injuries. With his last breath, his world of thought unfolds, and his last impressions merge with his memories to a very personal end. Director Andreas Feix tells us about the history of the film and what happened afterwards.
"As someone who grew up surrounded by dinosaurs and discovered his enthusiasm for cinema through watching the Jurassic Park series, it doesn't seem surprising that dinosaurs would become the main subject of my graduation film. The saurian influence had definitely left its traces throughout previous projects at Filmakademie, and the first ideas for a prehistoric short film were already developed halfway during studies.
An early concept would've actually been about a clumsy egg thief told in a more cartoony style, before the second iteration shifted towards depicting the tragic final moments of one of the last dinosaurs. Although the main interest was about crafting some impressive visual imagery, during another revision of the concept the dinosaur itself and its struggle for survival became the focus, which helped giving the film its emotional core. From the very first idea though the main character didn't change in its design, based on real-life species Citipati – which in the end also gave the film its title.
Both for me and Francesco it became apparent pretty quickly that the project would have some high demands: Not only because of the desired realism for the visuals & animation, but also due to the fact that the film was going to be produced in stereo 3D – all of which ended up being mostly the work of a single person. Therefore the main goal during production was about efficiency, regardless of the discipline: For example, a lot of animation & surface details for the character & its surroundings were either automated or generated procedurally. Later on I was fortunate to receive support from my colleague Natalia Freitas, who would take care of dinosaur's and side characters' textures.
The film's animation was finished as soon as possible during a short but intense period of 10 weeks, not only to lock down the cut early on but to also provide music & sound design with enough time to do their work. A particular highlight during post production was a trip to Babelsberg for several days, in order to experience the recording of the film's score as it was played by a live orchestra.
Although there was some hope during production that Citipati might have a positive reception, we could've never dreamed of the actual outcome: To our surprise the film won two of the highest industry accolades – a VES Award as well as an Annie Award, which is an unique achievement in itself. Apart from that its success continued on worldwide, with a slew of more accolades and up to 160 festival screenings to boot. This has of course garnered attention in the world of visual effects, which is why I've been working for a few years in London since, and had the chance to work on several Hollywood productions at some of the more well-known VFX companies. This includes the latest entry in the Jurassic Park film series, and if I'm lucky it wasn't the last time just yet..."

Varsity Field Improvements
A HUGE thank you to Jim Ramos from American Fence for finding time between the rain showers to install a new section of backstop fencing at the Varsity field. The section of fencing they replaced was bowed out from balls hitting it through the years, therefore Jim's crew added reinforcing pipes to keep things in shape for a long time to come. The old fencing was not only a safety concern, but an eye sore up against the great looking concrete work that Derek Dahlk of Finks Paving, Excavating, and Concrete completed at the end of 2017 combined with the electrical material donations by Crescent Electric. These projects, plus our new bleachers, finish off three years of hard work and fundraising for this area of the Varsity field. Thanks to great sponsors like these for their dedication to Mount Horeb Softball!
Shown above installing fencing are Mike, Pat, and Mike – Thanks for your hard work!

RDT's 'Nutcracker' grows with each passing season
Friday, December 7, 2018 [1] by CAMILLE CAPRIGLIONE Special to The Press [2] in Focus [3]
The beloved holiday ballet, "Nutcracker," will be performed by Repertory Dance Theatre of the Lehigh Valley, 2 p.m. Dec. 8 and 9, Miller Symphony Hall, accompanied by the award-winning Allentown Symphony Orchestra under direction of Ronald Demkee, and the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts Choir, conducted by David Macbeth.
Audiences delight in the classic tale of young Clara, who receives a magical wooden nutcracker, travels to the "Land of Sweets," meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and watches the Prince's battle with the Mouse King.
RDT has performed the "Nutcracker" since 1987. Choreographed by RDT Artistic Directors Trinette Singleton and Jennifer Haltzman Tracy, the holiday favorite presents superb dancing, beautiful costumes, a magical growing Christmas tree, sword fights and a snow scene.
RDT alumni dancers Felicia Victoria Cruz-Sharpe, who is with DanceSpora) and Cainan Weber, a student at the School of American Ballet and 2016 Easton International Ballet Competition winner, return as guest artists to perform the Arabian and Trepak dances.
Professional guest artists include Elena Miettinen and Sean Stewart of the American Ballet Theatre. "They sound like the most delightful people," says Haltzman Tracy of Miettinen and Stewart. "True professionals who want to help the arts community."
Daniel Mayo, of Ballet X and who has performed the Arabian dance for RDT, will play the role of the Nutcracker Prince, with Nicole Kujas, of Macungie, and Lauren Lukachek, of Easton, alternating the role of Clara. RDT's pre-professional dancers, children and adults from the community round out the cast.
Haltzman Tracy says a hallmark quality of RDT's "Nutcracker" is how the dancers progress over the years. "It's incredible watching where these kids go, that this is a springboard for them."
"Nutcracker" provides RDT's young dancers and aspiring ballerinas an opportunity to dance with professionals. Haltzman Tracy says her students rise to the occasion with professionalism and poise.
"RDT is a place for them to learn, and to dance in front of their hometown, and learn from professional guest artists and even from people who aren't professionals. How exciting [for them] to say, 'Wow! That could be me.'"
The 32nd annual RDT "Nutcracker" cast includes 60 dancers ages 7-14, 20 high school dancers and five students from DeSales University. Trinette Singleton, formerly with the Joffrey Ballet, is on the faculty of DeSales Department of Performing and Fine Arts.
The "Party Scene" performers enjoy coming back year after year. Eric Feinstein returns as Herr Drosselmeyer. The Chinese divertissement added two male dancers this year. "We tweak things to make the dancers shine," says Haltzman Tracy. There will be two school performances for area students.
Haltzman Tracy's father, Jay Haltzman, assists with stage lighting for the performances and has manned the spotlight for years.
"I think it ['Nutcracker'] has the whole holiday spirit," says Haltzman Tracy. "It's a lovely story. It has become a tradition. People go year after year, even though they've seen it.
"Different people have different reasons why they like it so much. The music is very pretty. Kids like the battle scene and the boom of the canon. It has something for everything.
"We're looking forward to a beautiful show."
There's a "Land of the Sweets Party" after Saturday's matinee, where children and adults can mingle and get autographs and photos with Sugar Plum Fairy and other characters. A separate ticket is required. There will also be a surprise visit from Santa Claus.
"Let's Go Nutz," now in its third year, 7 p.m. Dec. 8, is a variety show with jazz and tap dancing, featuring six professional musicians, RDT members and guest artists. Performances by community organizations include Tap Ties and the Community Music School Saxophone Ensemble.
"Let's Go Nutz" is a showcase of various dance forms. Skits poke fun at "Nutcracker" scenes and there will even be a Grinch. It's sure to provide an entertaining evening downtown. "It's a great date night," says Haltzman Tracy.
Repertory Dance Theatre, "The Nutcracker," 2 p.m. Dec. 8, 9, Miller Symphony Hall, 23 N. Sixth St., Allentown. "Land of the Sweets Party," 4 p.m. Dec 8, the Rodale Community Room, Miller Symphony Hall. "Let's Go Nutz," 7 p.m. Dec 8, Miller Symphony Hall. Tickets: Miller Symphony Hall box office, 23 N. Sixth St., Allentown; allentownsymphony.org; 610-432-6715

This is a great plant-based version of a classic as it doesn't contain any processed white sugar, dairy or preservatives – it contains lots of healthy fats from the avocado, coconut oil and almonds, loads of antioxidants in the raw cacao and the dates are packed full of fibre, plus they have the most delicious natural caramel taste.
Following my last post, this is definitely a good recipe for anyone who is finding converting to a healthier diet a bit scary because it tastes too good to be nutritious – it is a great one to make for skeptical friends and family members, just don't tell them about the avocado before they eat it!
Raw Vegan Avocado Chocolate CakePrint This
- For the Base:
- 2.5 cups of almonds
- 10 medjool dates
- 1-2 tbsp of coconut oil
- Pinch of sea salt
- For the Chocolate Layer:
- 4 ripe avocados
- 1 cup of coconut oil
- 1.5 - 2 cups of raw cacao (depending how rich you like it)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup of agave

The Furniture Retail Quality Group best practice guide - flammability testing
At a glance:
This guide draws upon experience gained by retailers, test organisations when conducting ignition tests for the industry and other interested parties. The guide aims to provide advice to manufacturers and suppliers of upholstery and components, and to help identify the requirements for different upholstery components in a simple and straight forward manner, and to provide advice to test laboratories, and to identify and document 'best practice rules' for ignition test procedures relating to the testing requirements of the UK furniture regulations in order to reduce any uncertainties and enhance reproducibility.
- Basic requirements of the Regulations
- Details of the Schedules
- Labelling requirements
- Best practice test methods
- Reporting
- Best practice matrix – flammability testing recommendations
The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, amended 1989, 1993 and 2010, have been implemented in the UK for over 20 years. The Regulations contain requirements for the ignition resistance of upholstery components.
The procedures for assessing the ignition resistance of upholstery components, required by the regulations, are contained in a series of Schedules. These Schedules call up various British Standard test methods which detail the methods by which testing to prove compliance with the regulations is to be conducted. The methods contained within the cited British Standards are further modified by the wording within these Schedules.
The test requirements for different upholstery components can be difficult to understand without considerable experience. Overall the specified test procedures are reasonably clear on how the testing should be performed. However a small number of uncertainties exist, pertaining to the testing and the regulatory requirements, which cause concern to the industry especially where reproducibility between testing laboratories is concerned.
This best practice guide draws upon experience gained by retailers, test organisations when conducting ignition tests for the industry and other interested parties, since the introduction of the regulations over twenty years ago, in order to demonstrate compliance with the Furniture and Furnishing (Fire) (Safety) Regulations and simply aims to identify and document a series of 'best practice rules' for upholstery suppliers and laboratories worldwide to reduce any uncertainties and enhance reproducibility.View guide
