One of the most striking parts of an army is a fully painted cavalry unit. The problem with mounted figures is that the mount (which is a larger part of the model) is not the "star" of the show and needs to be muted in relation to the rider on top of it (even in the case of a Chaos Champion on a Juggernaut :-)). My philosophy to achieve this is to use the same paints between the different areas, either to base, shade or highlight, and to not highlight the whole mount too far (too close to pure white).
In this tutorial I am going to explain how to paint a few different basic horse types: The Chestnut, the Bay and the Paint. Future tutorials will cover other type of animal mounts and well as fantastic/magical creatures.
Each horse is cleaned assembled and mounted on a piece of cork for easy painting (these are craft corks, which are on the expensive side - but perfect for the task). All three of the horses have pre-drilled holes for the rider and for a sword that is mounted on the back (only visible on the Bay). I recommend leaving the rider off and to paint the rider and the horse separately.
The Chestnut
Note: In the description below you can substitute the Natural Leather/Kalliene Yellow (from Rackham paints) mix with a mix of Rucksack Tan/Bloodstone/Boostrap Leather (from P3 paints).
Start by giving all the skin a base coat of an equal mix of Natural Leather (Rackham) and Kallienne Yellow (Rackham). The armor is given a base coat of Greatcoat gray (P3), the leather parts Gun Corps Brown (P3) and the mane and tail are covered in Hammerfall Khaki (P3) mixed with a dot of Moldy Ocre (P3).
Mix Umbral Umber (P3) with the base coats for both the skin and the mane/tail to shade both areas. When shading the mane first wash the whole area with just a little Umbral Umber in the mix and then progressively add more into the deeper areas of the model. For the darkest areas add a tiny bit of armor wash (this will help with the flow of the paint as well). The armor is first given a wash of Badab Black (GW) to define all the details and bolts and then shaded with Greatcoat Gray/Thamar Black (P3). Since I want a stark contrast between the light/dark for the NMM the shade is brought down to a pure black. All the leather areas are washed with Devlan Mud (GW) and the hoofs with Ogryn Flesh (GW).
Before you start highlighting pick out any strands of hair that has gotten too dark and reclaim any of the skin that is too dark. Highlight the skin with Menoth White Base (P3), focus on getting the muscles defined, a horse is a powerful animal and that should show. Highlight the mane/tail first with a 50/50 mix of Moldy Ocre/HammerFall Khaki. Mix more and more Menoth White Base into this, finally mix in a little Morrow White (P3) for the parts where the light catches the hair. The armor is highlighted first with Underbelly Blue (P3) then Morrow White. All the leather areas are highlighted with a mix of Rucksack Tan and Gun Corps Brown, I don't highlight these too much because I want there to be a clear difference between the different materials on the model and I want the leather to be a little worn.
For the final details the horse is mounted on it's base, mud is added to the hoofs and in this case I felt like the skin had gotten a little too "pink" for a chestnut so I washed all the skin areas but the face with a really thin mix of the base color and Khador Red Highlight (P3).
Note: To keep continuity I have painted the Leather and Armor areas the same way for all three horses, this helps keeping the unit coherent even thought the horses differ. So for the horses below I am only describing the differing areas of the model.
The Bay
Basecoat all the skin areas with Battlefield Brown (P3) and the mane with a 50/50 mix of Coal Black (P3) and Bastion Gray (P3).
The skin is shaded by progressively adding more and more Armor Wash (P3) to the base coat, mixing a paint with a wash like this thins the paint and helps with both the blending and the flow. When shading like this it is important to do small steps at a time and let each coat dry before adding another - this makes the blending very smooth. The mane is given a wash of Badab Black and then the deepest recesses are filled with pure thinned down Thamar Black (which results in a deeper black than what is achieved with a wash).
The mane/tail is highlighted with Menoth White highlight and the skin is highlighted first with a mix of the base coat and Bastion Gray and then with a little bit of Trollblood Highlight (P3) for the lightest areas.
For the details on the Bay I spent a lot of time cleaning up the mane/tail. The problem with using washes is that even though they dry matte it is hard to make out fine details in intricate shapes such as hair. Once I had brushed on the first layer a varnish a lot of my mistakes became apparent and I had to go back and clean them up before adding the next layer of varnish.
The Paint
The darkest areas of the skin are given a base coat of Battlefield Brown. For the lighter color I want a little shine, so I want there to be a cooler base shining through the warmer highlight and shade. To achieve this I base the white areas with Menoth White Highlight (P3) with a little Underbelly Blue in it. When you paint these two areas there is no need to be precise since a few errors can add to the realism of the pattern - you will have plenty of opportunities to clean the areas up in the steps below as well. The mane/tail is given a base of 50/50 Umbral Umber and Idrian Flesh.
The warmth needs to be brought into the lighter areas of the skin so they are shaded with a mix of the base coat and first a drop of Bloodstone (P3) and then with drop of Idrian Flesh (P3). The darkest areas of the skin are shaded in the same way as the skin of the Bay horse. The mane/tail is shaded with a mix of Badab Black/Devlan Mud.
Tip: When mixing any kind of washes/inks out of a pot, use a dropper for more control over the amounts mixed.
Highlight the light areas of the skin with first Menoth White Highlight then pure Morrow White. Highlight the dark areas of the skin by adding Idrian Flesh to the base coat. Pick out the strands of the mane and tail with Idrian Flesh, then highlight by adding first Ember Orange (P3) then Menoth White Highlight to Idrian Flesh. The muzzle is highlighted first with Idrian Flesh, then with Midlund Flesh (P3) and finally with Ryn Flesh (P3).
Just as with the Bay I had to go back and make sure to fix the mane and tail and also clean up some of the blending on the armor.
Painting the muzzle
The horse's muzzle (or mouth area) is a lot lighter than the rest of the face and body. Depending on which type of horse it is this area of the body takes on a different range of colors. Generally they are all lighter than the base color of the horse's skin. When highlighting the muzzle start by blending a lighter shade onto the whole front of the face. Then as you are adding more and more light to the color, focus your highlighting around the nostrils and the lips.
Painting the muscle
Horses are powerful animals so when painting their muscles make sure to accentuate two things - motion and shape. You can achieve motion by adding extra shadows to the muscles working. Shape can be added by making sure that the roundness of the muscle is very well defined.
Painting the mane and tail
The mane and the tail should be where you have the most fun - hair doesn't really behave in a straight order. The key is just to try and pick out the different strands of hair and pick where the light hits - hence where the light will catch the hair. A good place to start is to highlight the top of bends and the end of each strand.
Painting horses is fun and if you leave the riders off it is pretty simple since all the main areas are generally easy to reach. Because cavalry units tend to be pretty expensive (both in terms of points and in $$$) I think you should all invest the time in painting yours up!

With all the pending legislation in Congress designed to fix our electoral system, it is important for concerned citizens to learn and understand just what the bills would require and what they wouldn't.
One key issue is how the various bills attempt to prevent fraud by requiring a "paper trail" on computerized voting machines. In order to understand just how the bills accomplish this, and judge whether or not they solve the problem, it is important to recognize the difference between a Voter-Verified Paper Ballot (VVPB) and a Voter-Verifield Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
All the current legislation calls for VVPAT, not VVPB. But does it make a difference?
Here is why the distinction makes a world of difference. Let's start by looking at how an electronic voting machine equipped with a VVPAT printer works. This system is permitted even if the pending legislation is passed. When you cast your vote on one of these systems, two separate things are created — your electronic ballot, which is used to decide who won the election, and your "Paper Audit Trail," which is held in case of an audit or a recount. You are able to view the Paper Audit Trail, and make sure it is correct. You have no way of knowing what your electronic ballot says. You can feel relatively certain that if there is a hand recount, your vote will be counted properly. But since hand recounts are very rare, when you look at that piece of paper, you are not actually verifying your vote. There is still nothing verifying that your actual vote was correct.
The following illustration demonstrates how a VVPAT system works:
In contrast, some legislation on the state level calls for a Voter-Verified Paper Ballot (VVPB). This type of legislation goes a step further, by requiring that the piece of paper is actually used to count the votes in the first count, not merely to be there in case of a hand recount. In fact, VVPB legislation removes one key step in the voting process that is otherwise extremely vulerable to hacking and fraud. DRE (Direct Recording Electronic) voting machines become illegal. The following illustration demonstrates how requiring a VVPB would prevent electronic voting machines from casting an unverified ballot:
The bottom line is that VVPAT legislation aims at making recounts possible, while VVPB legislation focuses more on getting the first count right. Question to reader - after the last 2 elections, how do you feel about relying on recounts to ensure our votes were counted properly?
This demonstrates that the current VVPAT legislation falls short in a key area. However, we should still support the bills. Having at least a possibility of a recount is certainly better than what we have now — nearly 35% of our national vote is paperless and can not be recounted. And that number would likely grow if none of the bills pass. But don't get your hopes up; there is a good possibility the Republicans will prevent these bills from getting out of committee and they may never even be voted on.
Since VVPB legislation is preferable to anyone who cares about the integrity of the voting system, why has not a single Senator or Congressperson at least proposed legislation calling for a paper ballot? We can only wonder.
Things to note
With all the pending legislation in Congress designed to fix our electoral system, it is important for concerned citizens to learn and understand just what the bills would require and what they wouldn't.

This is Danielle Claire Peazer. Most of you reading this know her as Liam Payne's girlfriend. However, what most people fail to realize is that she is a dancer, a dancer that has appeared in multiple music videos, live television shows, commercials, concerts, etc. A dancer that has also trained in ballet school and has the ability to call herself a legit ballerina…like the kind most girls pretended to be when they were little. Pretty impressive, right? Right.
Since those two reasons above made her so widely known, Danielle also has a twitter where she can communicate with her family, friends, co-workers, business partners, and fans. Even though the people listed don't send her hurtful messages, there are people who actually sit behind their computer screens, logged into a twitter account they have created, and have the nerve to send her hate messages and death threats….all because her boyfriend is known throughout the world. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.
Though Danielle does have a Facebook account, it is completely hidden and protected to the point where nobody she doesn't know personally can find her. Thus, she uses the power of twitter to send sweet tweets to those who send them to her, and even has the courtesy to respond nicely to the ones that aren't so sweet.
All in all, my point is to not hate on her because she is dating your celebrity crush. Or how about not hating on her what-so-ever. Danielle is one of the best dancers out there. Perhaps if we took a second to realize that, all of the nonsense that is hate-mail will disappear. And the rumors that spread will discontinue and be forgotten. Danielle has not done a single thing to offend any of you, so it would be nice to see that favor returned to her. She deserves it.
Thank you all so much for reading this. I greatly appreciate it and I know Danielle does too.

The Real Estate Agents
The Real Estate Agents Album
- 2004-10-10
Conduit shot all the photography and designed this 3 disc box set for left-field electronica duo, Sibot & Marcus Wormstorm of The Real Estate Agents.
Borne from the need to find a decent investment property, the Real Estate Agents Album art was more of a tribute to their lousy housing portfolio. A juxtaposition to what they do best.
The property in question, a charming two bedroom, main en suite, was located just off a national highway. Sure the place needed some fixing up, but even in its most derelique state, served us an ideal opportunity to lens an impressionistic look at the investment housing market, whilst also creating a quasi print brochure for The Real Estate Agents current stock.

I don't mind it, but if you put too much stuff in there after awhile your back and neck are aching. Luckily we've never popped up with an emergency on any trips so there wasn't a need for all the stuff. Snacks we usually leave in our rooms and go back and eat during our breaks, or right in or outside of which ever park we are visiting.
I am lactose intolerant so I keep alka seltzer and lactaid pills in my short pockets or the camera bag in case I get up the nerve to have dairy products. I am then prepared.
Worst of all, in my experience at least, most folks don't know how to handle a backpack - they're constantly bumping into others, knocking over displays, stopping in the middle of walkways to rifle through them, delaying loading times, etc. Ditch the bag - set yourself free and enjoy the park.
I have a zippered pouch that I wear under my shirt, around my neck and under my arm. In the pouch are my car key, money, Season Pass, license, and cell phone. Anything else..food, drink, windbreaker, spare clothes... is in the car.
I don't begrudge the need to carry items into the park, but I think the time has come for Disney to begin setting limits on the amount of bulk a guest can bring in, similar to the restrictions the airlines impose upon carry-on bags.
I only ride water rides when it is really hot. Last one I was on was Popeye at IOA. It was 95 degrees that day. I remember getting off the ride and feeling dry ten minutes later. Only to then go on Dudley Do Right and get wet all over again.
I laughed when I saw the update though. Our daughters are 2 (will be 3 in 3 weeks) and 6 months. It has gotten so that we spend so much time packing for them that we forget about ourselves. Like last weekend we were packing and preparing for the zoo and then halfway there I realized I forgot my wallet and cellphone. But of course we had plenty of diapers, wet wipes, toys and snacks. ha ha.
Since we had two young children, I dutifully packed up a backpack with everything we might need. And by 11:30 am, I was hot, cranky, and tired of hauling that bag around. Every ride I had to take it off and stow it. I had to remember to grab it if one child suddenly dropped their hot dog to run to Mickey Mouse.
I looked around. And spotted the group of twenty-something guys. No backpacks. No purses. And yet they somehow made it through the day.
We've refined our needs and reduced the size of everything we need. After nearly a year of visiting a theme park 1-2 times a month, this is our typical set-up:
1. Cargo clothing for everyone. Shorts, pants, or skirts with reasonable sized pockets. No need for a purse.
2. Collapsible cups. Why haul water? It's heavy. Fill a cup at a water fountain and sip there. Buy one of those gigantic sodas and split it between cups. (Less waste)
3. Trial sized sunblock. Walgreens always seems to have some inexpensive ones - even sprays.
4. A bag or two of some kind of snack. Trail mix works better than cheese and crackers.
5. Wallets and cell phones (with cameras) for the grown-ups.
6. Convenience stores carry individually portioned headache meds and allergy meds. Not that expensive and better than carrying a bottle.
7. Emergency ponchos for those that don't want to get wet on water rides or if it looks like rain.
Need a tissue or have a sticky child? Bathrooms are nearby. Keep a couple of quarters on hand if you're worried about suddenly needing feminine products. Sun glasses perch on top of the head or with sport grips.
Bonus - we can waltz through the "No Bags" line.
In my fannypack is plastic ziplock bag with the following items:
Health Insurance card (@ Mr. Niles: You missed that one!)
Debit Card (never a credit card to control spending)
Travel size purell (especially at a park on a beach)
Small digital camera
Cell phone
a Change of socks
I keep my the rest of my change of clothes (layers a must)and snack food in the car and goto the lot and take breaks.
I have always felt that walking around slighty wet is part of the experience. So I only change if I have to. However, I have exzema and I keep extra socks with me because the chemicals in the water can set off an outbreak. I keep a third pair in the car too. I always where my sunglasses with a tight fitting laner that I do not take off untill dark.
As for reusable water bottle...DO NOT bring in a nice one. Only reuse one you bought in a rest stop or store. Some parks like Cedar Point sometimes will not let you store your bottles while you are on cetain rides. You have to throw out your bottles. You don't want to lose a nice one you brought from home or in the park.
I have a new kid now so I am forced to carry more. Love the collapsable cup idea! Great suggestions! Thank you.
If there is anything we want to have in the park, not in the car, we put it in a locker up front. I carry a sample size sunblock, my camera, my cell phone in my pockets. My cash and credit card go in my pass holder. We do have the refillable mugs, and those we leave unlocked in a locker when we are riding rides.
BGW does not allow outside food. So the only place I carry around a back pack with snacks and everything I would ever need in a lifetime is Disney. They have bag holders on the rides and allow in outside food.
At Busch Gardens, if you are riding, you need to be hands free!
As for a change of clothes, I prefer to leave mine in the car and change at the end of the day

Mr. Gandolfini's death was confirmed by HBO. He was traveling in Rome, where he was on vacation and was scheduled to attend the Taormina Film Festival. A cause of death was not immediately announced; a press representative for HBO said that Mr. Gandolfini may have died from a heart attack, though other news reports said he died from a stroke.
Mr. Gandolfini, who grew up in Park Ridge, in Bergen County, N.J., came to embody the resilience of the Garden State on "The Sopranos," a television drama that made its debut in 1999 and ran for six seasons on HBO.
In its pilot episode, viewers were introduced to the richly complicated life of Tony Soprano, a New Jersey mob kingpin who is suffering from panic attacks and begins seeing a therapist. Over 86 episodes, audiences followed Mr. Gandolfini in the role as he was tormented by his mother (played by Nancy Marchand), his wife (Edie Falco), rival mobsters, the occasional surreal dream sequence and, in 2007, a famously ambiguous series finale which left millions of viewers wondering whether or not Tony Soprano had met his fate at the table of a diner.
The success of "The Sopranos" helped make HBO a dominant player in the competitive field of scripted television programming, and transformed Mr. Gandolfini from a character actor into a star. The series, created by David Chase, won two Emmy Awards for outstanding drama series, and Mr. Gandolfini won three Emmys for outstanding lead actor in a drama, having been nominated six times for the award.
HBO said of Mr. Gandolfini in a statement on Wednesday, "He was special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect."
James Joseph Gandolfini Jr. was born in Westwood, N.J., on Sept. 18, 1961. His father was an Italian immigrant who held a number of jobs, including janitor, bricklayer and cement mason. His mother, Santa, was a high school lunch lady.
He attended Park Ridge High School in New Jersey and Rutgers University, graduating in 1983 with a degree in communications. He drove a delivery truck, managed nightclubs and tended bar in Manhattan before becoming interested in acting at age 25 when a friend brought him to an acting class.
He began his movie career in 1987 with a small role in the low-budget horror comedy "Shock! Shock! Shock!" In 1992 he had a small part in the Broadway revival of "A Streetcar Named Desire" starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.
By the mid-1990s Mr. Gandolfini had made gangster roles a specialty, playing burly but strangely charming tough guys in films like "True Romance" (1993) and "The Juror" (1996). He had an impressive list of character-acting credits but he was largely unknown to the general public when David Chase cast him in "The Sopranos" in 1999.
"I thought it was a wonderful script," Mr. Gandolfini told Newsweek in 2001, recalling his audition. "I thought, 'I can do this.' But I thought they would hire someone a little more debonair, shall we say. A little more appealing to the eye."
Survivors include his wife, Deborah Lin; a daughter, Liliana, born last year; and a teenage son, Michael, from his marriage to Marcella Wudarski, which ended in divorce.

Wilson Creek
overwhelmed by CHS
Columbia High (25-1) got a combined 70 points from Elizabeth Larrew, Lindsay Loe and Krista Colvin in a 77-11 crushing of overmatched Wilson Creek (9-11) in a State 1B girlŌĆÖs regional game last Saturday afternoon at Shadle Park High School in Spokane.
The win earns CHS, whose only loss this season to date was to Class 2B state favorite and two-time defending state champion Reardan, a date at the Class 1B Hardwood Classic in the Spokane Arena March 1-3.
CHS will open the 1B tournament Thursday at 7:15 p.m. against little known Northwest Yeshiva.
Other openers will pit top-ranked and defending champion Colton vs. Neah Bay at 3:45 p.m. and Lopez vs. Almira/Coulee-Hartline at 5:30 p.m. in the eight-team tournament.
The final game of the night will feature Cusick against Sunnyside Christian at 9 p.m.
Likes State draw
CHS head coach Mindy Flett liked SundayŌĆÖs state draw.
ŌĆ£Our draw was very favorable this year,ŌĆØ she said on Monday. ŌĆ£If we win that one (opener), we would get the winner of Cusick and Sunnyside Christian on Friday at 9 p.m.
ŌĆ£Then, if we win again, we could potentially run into Colton for the championship (on Saturday). I like our chances of that happening.ŌĆØ
Columbia, who finished third at State last year, played Sunnyside Christian in the third and fifth place game.
ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt get me wrong,ŌĆØ Flett said. ŌĆ£Sunnyside Christian is a great team and very well coached. But I like our chances with our experience and age on the team.
Larrew led the Lady Lions with 32 points and eight steals in the rout of Wilson Creek.
In the late game on Saturday, Almira/Coulee-Hartline (20-4), who lost the Bi-District championship game one week earlier to Columbia, also made the eight-team State 1B field this week at the Yakima Sun Dome with a tough 45-35 win over Moses Lake Christian.
Guard Madelne Isaak led the Warriors with 13 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and eight steals. Senior post Miranda Porterfield led ACH with 17 points.
ACH scored 28 points off of 29 Moses Lake Christian turnovers.
Colvin drained the game-winning three-pointer with one second left to lift CHS over ACH in the NE 1B District title game. ACH led until the one-minute mark of the fourth quarter when Mackenzie Parrow rebounded and scored her own missed bucket to tie the game.
ŌĆ£That finish was and always will be unforgettable,ŌĆØ CHS head coach Mindy Flett said of the last-second win over ACH.
The district title was the first-ever for the Columbia High girls program.

Not all people can afford to have health insurance. It is admitted to a fee for this insurance is quite expensive .. for the fortunate ok .. but for the medium diversified ok .. do not ..
Early marriage .. 7 years ago, I do not think the insurance will help me and my family .. opss .. true story .. this is not a story at design-design and get remuneration from any party. Just to share the story in "izradawebstranica.info".
First .. I thought this car and motor insurance available .. man apparently already have insurance .. which is called as health insurance. Actually just the family or the person who has suffered with the department bittersweet named hospital only knows hassle of dealing with the hospital. Different if seeking treatment in hospital are those of the rank and high rank, then it's to their advantage to get the best treatment and the recommendations from the treating doctor in the hospital.
In the situation I have ever experienced severe ill family member, to get treatment at the hospital as soon as possible, the probability of getting better treatment to the long waiting time and slow. Furthermore the hospital must visit hundreds of patients and many human characters every day .. difficult to imagine that people never deal with this situation.
In Malaysia itself now, got all kinds of insurance available .. but we as the user is to be good at choosing a par with the capabilities and services provided by the insurance that we have selected.
The point is to have insurance:
Survey products, services and benefits we will receive from the insurance to be taken
Consider the ability of our financial. Continue reading

Movie News
Spierig Brothers spill a bit on POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL!!!
Hey folks, Harry here and here's a report on a recent convention in the land down under upon THE POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL. Not a terrible lot of news - and I know that I've heard the 'cg' character is mainly due to a 'fire' element of the creation, I believe... but take a read... at the very least you might learn what being "Boba Fetted" is all about!
Howdy Harry, I attended an Australian geek centric convention on the weekend named 'Supernova' in Sydney NSW and thought I'd let you in on a few tidbits the super cool Spierig brothers gave on their very informative Daybreakers panel regarding The Power of the Dark Crystal. I was kinda surprised that nobody had reported this info yet as I saw at least on guy behind me incessantly writing down on a notepad anytime the brothers spoke, maybe it was for community newspaper or something. Anyways I digress, so with a fractured memory caused by the traditional three day bender that follows the event to ensure that me and my friends still feel like grown ass men afterward getting giddy with excitement at the prospect of meeting Lou Ferrigno and Michael Winslow, I'll just list the details I remember. Filming will take place in Australia after approximately two of heavy pre-production. The Brothers stated that they would rather shoot in Queensland where they shot Daybreakers and utilizing , but would happily work in Sydney too. They are shooting in 3D. Original conceptual designer Brian Froud is working on the picture. They are still figuring out how much is gonna be practical versus how much will be CG, but assured us that they are using practical puppets as much as possible. Motion Capture will be utilized, they kinda hinted that it may be for a newer character to the universe. There was some deceptive talk of the Skeksis and how they would return after plight in the previous movie in one way or another... I think that was about it as far as details went. I got the feeling that the brothers obliviously love the source material and hearing them talk about it with such passion really made it sink in that this is really happening, another Dark Crystal film! The rest of the Supernova convention was action packed to say the least, I got Boba Fetted* by Boba Fett, well the kid from Attack of the Clones! He then shadow boxed me as he lead a cosplay groupie into the V.I.P area. True story. Anyways, If you use this call me Wompaone. *Boba Fetted is when a homeboy slightly tilts his head at you as a sign of mutual respect, I don't care the Urban Dictionary says!

Just Watched This Movies Yesterday
by kevinwillis.net
I mean, the original Dark Crystal. It's got some good stuff--and you can tell the Avatar people watched this movie more than once, that's all I'm saying. But for the most part, it moves at the speed of molasses. Ambitious, but it really doesn't tell the story well. Lots of interesting characters, though. Except the lead characters, who look like wooden puppets.

More practical please
by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl
The Dark Crystal is easily one of my top 5 favorite films so I'm hoping that the sequel will be good. Consider my fingers officially crossed.
June 24, 2010, 6:24 a.m. CST
"This Movies" . . . Hah. Just the One Movie.

Dark Crystal. I have it on Blu-Ray. Not particularly impressive on Blu-Ray, either.

 An I think there are very interesting stories to be told in this universe. I just think the original Dark Crystal is ploddingly paced, for the most part. And that's fine, use practical puppets, but if there are Gelflings, don't make 'em the way Jen and Kira are. They look like someone bought them at a hobby store. Just sayin'.

Perhaps I didn't fall in love with the source material enough as a kid, even though I watched the movie several times. But I can compare it to another movie I've rewatched several times recently: 2001. 2001 moves slowly on purpose. It works. Really well.

I don't think Dark Crystal moves so slowly on purpose. I think it's because neither Jim Henson nor Frank Oz had any experience directing a movie like that.

They should have done this for yoda and the prequels
by TheJudger
Of course ILM didn't know about IR camera tech yet, which is what Cameron used for avatar and the frame rate would have been horribly low back then as well.
 Heres what you do. Make the puppet, fully functional. And make a head mounted ir camera that can track the puppet, that or the puppeter can preform the puppet inside a box containing tons of ir cameras. You laser scan the original puppet and you use the 3d ir captured data to animate the face of the cgi replacement. thsi way you retain the true puppet like animation in the cgi replica. So it can do more than the hand up the ass one can, and yes they should have done this for yoda. And instead of using the not yet ready ir cameras back then they could have used the phosphorescent paint trick on a silicone or latex staurt freeborn yoda puppet copy. Oh well. Well you can do that for this. not the phos paint trick. use the Ir camera's they are cheaper and they work. Make all the creature practical- laser scan them and clean them up in zbrush and 3dmax/maya. Mocap the preformances with the ir cams. Tada
June 24, 2010, 7:06 a.m. CST
practical is one thing but putting the entire
by TheJudger
puppets body into frame in a scen that demand more realist movement is the reason they need CGI backups. Also the Ir cameras since they retain 1:1 data the CGI ones should be pretty hard to detect. That's why I get pissed when I see what happened to yoda. If they used the back up leavesden yoda head, fab a puppet to work just like the one did in empire (cuase lets face it the improvements in jedi looked off) they could have preformed the puppet in front or an array of phosphoresent sensitive cameras to get a true 1:1 3d animated version of that puppet as control points. Then all they would have had to do was laserscan the original puppet, and add some more hair to the cgi replica to represent a yonger version of yoda. Since he only ages 1 year for every ten he lives. He should have looked 83 or so in phantom in contrast to his 90 year old look in jedi. So..... Damn some things really hit nerves with me. I called ilm back shortly after phantom menance to inform. didnt do shit.

The Dark Crystal moved slowly because Jim Henson wanted it to move that way. That narrative structure is poetic in nature and reflects the meditative quality of the Mystics.

ILM did do something about it. The Yoda in Epis. 1 is now digital, based on the puppet they previously had. Have you been to Star Wars in Concert, or seen the documentary on the Epis. III disc, which both include a sample of what we'll see of the "'lil green friend" when he arrives on Blu Ray?

storyteller cgi?
by Dollar Bird
I just watched the whole original series on instant play and I don't recall ever seeing anything CG in it. If anything, a lot of the effects were bare bones (while the puppetry was fantastic; as was John Hurt and the scripts). I DO recall that Henson was playing with CGI puppets in that show he did in the 90s and in that 3-D show for Disneyworld. In fact that CGI puppet is one of the few things I remember of that movie. ("But I'm really talking to yoooooououuuuuu") Maybe your dragon was in the Greek Myth Storyteller episodes which I confess I have not watched all the way through.

by RETURN_of_FETT
Tried to watch again recently and just couldn't get into it. I think I got about 45 minutes into the Blu-ray and turned it off. The puppets just make it feel so incredibly fake and silly now. I mean, it's essentially Sesame Street. I don't know, maybe I'll pull it off the shelf and finish it at some point. All I'm saying is that keeping it puppets doesn't make me want to go see another one. Frankly I'd probably prefer an all CGI film. At least then they could really explore the world instead of only showing it from the waist up.

by Traumnovelle
But Genndy Tartakovsky would have been way better for this.
@Blackwood - I know the film your talking about. It wasn't a 'Storyteller' episode, but a made-for-TV special called 'The Puppet Master' or 'The Puppet Maker' or something like that (they talk about it in the Jim Henson book 'The Works' which I have at home, I can look up the exact title later). It has a kid that finds a giant mechanical dragon in a warehouse. It was, however, done with practical effects - very much so as you could (intentionally) see all the gears and levers that made it move.

by Cruzboy
The Spierig Brothers (who are identical twins by the way) are ones to watch. They're talented guys who just need to hone their story telling skills a little more. I went and saw them speak when they released Undead in Australia. Most of the movie they did themselves on a single Mac laptop and all they actually googled tutorials on special effects to figure out how to do stuff. They're passionate filmmakers and I'm really excited about them doing a Dark Crystal film. I think if anyone can do it justice they will. I watched Daybreakers the other day and thought the first half was fantastic, they've really got an eye for exploring fresh ideas. The second half wasn't so great but at least they're getting better each film.

ATTN: Dollabird and blackwood re: Dragon on Storyteller?
by BillboeFett
That was NOT cg, but practical, and was on the Jim Henson Hour, in 1989 on NBC. The first half was the old new generation of muppet characters trying to run a show, the 2nd half was one-off story segments like the Storyteller, or the Monster Telethon, or entire-hour long mini-movies like Dog City, or Lighthouse Island.

 The one with the dragon, that blackwood is referring to, was called "The Monster Maker", and that dragon was NOT cg.

 More info here (be sure to also browse the forum thread there): http://tinyurl.com/23gy7zt

 from IMDB: "The Jim Henson Hour was what happened when Jim Henson took the Muppet Show and the Dark Crystal and cross-bred them. It was split into two halves. The first half was the Muppet Show of the 80's. It featured both old (Jim Henson, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire) and new (Dan Redican, Gordon Robertson, Fran Brill, Kevin Clash) puppeteers. Therefore, it also featured both old (Kermit, Gonzo, Link Hogthrob, Rowlf) and new (Digit, Lindburgh, Vicki, Leon) characters. The second half was sometimes serious (Lighthouse Island, The Storyteller) and sometimes funny (Miss Piggy's Hollywood, Dog City). Sometimes it was all one hour-long show. And it was great every time. I seriously suggest this to anyone who likes Henson."

Bringing back the Skeksis...
by Durendal
Would require some serious retconning, and fuck that. They mythology has been laid out. Froud wrote "The World of the Dark Crystal", which was Henson approved, and said book laid out what happened and how. The Urskeks (the white, merged guys at the end) used the Crystal a thousand years prior to try and purge their capacity for evil. Unfortunately, it just split them, and then the Crystal was cracked, the shard lost, and the two sides went their separate ways. The only thing that could rejoin them was a healed Crystal during the next great conjunction. Ergo, trying to bring back the Skeksis isn't going to fucking work unless the Urskeks decide to try again a thousand years later. Don't retcon the damned thing, guys. Leave the Skeksis out and give us a new story.

CGI Yoda in ROTS was perfect
by performingmonkey
That CGI model being placed in TPM over the top of that lame ass puppet (Frank did the voice lame too, obviously to try and make him sound younger and more alert, so it would be good to hear newly recorded dialogue to match his better delivery in AOTC and ROTS). I would love them to re-animate Yoda's flipping and shit in AOTC in the fight with Dooku. Making it look like a real character instead of a videogame would be good.

There's something so deliciously decadent about treating yourself to a luxurious bedroom. It's the most private space in the home, it's not a room visitors tend to ever see, and so to invest in your bedroom seems gloriously self-indulgent.
But of course, it also makes sense to invest in a restful bedroom and good night's sleep.
