Cinematographer: An Artistic Video Explains Their Role In Filmmaking
Watch a video that breaks down what it means to be a cinematographer.
There are many jobs in the filmmaking process, and a cinematographer is just one of them. It all starts with a script; a story waiting to be told. Then there's the director, the visionary, the person with the plan. But we all know that filmmaking is highly collaborative, so a team begins to emerge, with a group of like-minded artists all striving towards the same goal. That brings us to the cinematographer.
What Does a Cinematographer Do?
Of all the roles on set, the cinematographer's is the one where the art meets technology. One of the reasons we focus heavily on updating our reviews of tech and gear at No Film School is that because without understanding all the tools available it's very hard to use them effectively.
One of a cinematographer's primary responsibilities is to always stay up to date on all the tools of the trade, as well as be knowledgeable about all the well-established techniques of the past. To go deeper on the job check out our cinematography masterclass post. And before you go any further, it's never a bad time to brush up on cinematography basics.
There are a lot of people on set with important roles in the process, of course.
You've got your art directors and production designers, and new worlds are created. You've got your editors, who lovingly craft the footage into the final piece of art. You've got your makeup artists and VFX artists and loads of other craftspeople who ultimately shape the film in some unique way.
But we return today to the cinematographer, the person behind the lens. What exactly does a cinematographer do, and what does it mean to be a cinematographer? The following short video from the EFTI School of Cinematography in Spain has the answer.
A bit fluffy and overly poetic? Sure. But this video hits the nail on the head in terms of what cinematographers actually do from an artistic perspective.
We craft images from scratch -- with the help of the art department -- and use the tools at our disposal in order to ensure that the images not only drive the story, but that the images themselves are inherently meaningful in some way or another. It's all about having a unique vision for what you are creating, then using your knowledge of lighting, lenses, composition, etc in order to fulfill that vision.
The video also makes a tremendously pertinent point (especially considering the speed at which technology evolves) about what cinematographers do. We can have cameras better than the human eye, and lights more powerful than the sun, but it's all useless unless the person behind those tools has a distinct vision for what they are creating. Ultimately, the purpose of all of this technology is to provide us with a set of tools to do our jobs effectively. If we don't use our unique vision to make the most of that technology, then we're only as good as our equipment. And nobody wants that.
Cinematography can also be a process of discovery. What works one time on one film may not be as effective in another. This seems obvious, but we put together a resource of 4 mistakes that could be holding you back as you build out your career as a cinematographer.

I love cinematography more than any element of film-making... But I did chuckle a bit when he said "like the world before god created it"... Maybe a tad excessive... Unless you are called Roger Deakins.

I couldn't agree more, I found this to be extremely pretentious, and cringed at the thought of filmmaking becoming a place where hipsters compare themselves to God. I prefer the actor Robert Mitchum's approach, who when asked about acting would say, 'Acting? There's nothing to it, just turn up on time and know your lines,' Simple, just be prepared and do your work.

I agree entirely, this whole video made me cringe. Extremely pretentious and self serving and full of egocentricity. I realise the DP is a well respected role, but there are truly famous DP's out there who don't have such self centred video's about their work, most are humble.
Why do most DP's now dress like total hispers on set full of tatoes, is that the new image they perceive will make them look cool in indie circles.

It starts with the writer for Pete's sake. They invent the story and the world!
The fact some directors write does not make the 'it all starts with the director' statement true.
Any competent fool can tell departments what to do. Very few people can create worthwhile stories from scratch.

A great director can use vision and paint with the writer and the dp as if they were brushes, turning something mediocre into something great. Take Jarmusch or Lynch, do you think their scripts read like literary masterpieces?
Sure there are directors for hire/air traffic controllers but vision is really what makes a great director.
See It's easy but unnecessary to reduce the role of one to highlight another.

The video was really well made but it brings up a topic that I find funny. Let me preface by saying I'm guilty of it and we all probably have been at some point.
We point lights, move cameras, and hit a button. We are court jesters. No...worse than court jesters. We are the people making the court jester look good before going out to perform.
Assistant to the Court Jester.
If it was a video for police officers, surgeons, or even teachers...it would be great. Since it was made BY filmmakers and it's ABOUT themselves (essentially), the "pretentious" card being thrown around here is spot on.
July 23, 2014 at 7:36PM, Edited September 4, 11:56AM
No, I agree. Most of the time I don't think it ends up mattering to anyone else other than the few people that are involved in the creative process. So if being in that mindset helps you glean an extra few "creative points", then it's better to be there than to NOT be there.
I just think, when you take a step back, and view that mindset from an objective point of view, it's kind of silly and pretentious. I'm completely guilty of it and I usually don't give it much thought...until a video like this brings it to my attention! :)
July 23, 2014 at 9:27PM, Edited September 4, 11:56AM
It's kind of like a pro athlete. Most of them (seemingly) take on the mindset of "I'm the best, I'm the man, I'm better than anyone else out here." That mindset helps them perform well.
When they come out and SAY it, ala Richard Sherman in the NFC title game, it comes off horribly.
It's all about presentation, timing, and tone. This video didn't really nail it (hence the majority of viewers finding it pretentious).

Everyone is a cinematographer these days .... including my dentist who is doing a night class in "cinematography".
The DIY / DSLR / Anyone can do any anything boom driven by "film schools" / "online legends in their own lunch time personalities" and "equipment manufacturers" is slowly coming to an end. Thank god.
We are now awash in a sea of mediocre talent who spend most of the time buying and talking about the latest gadget (Yeah but the dynamic range on this one is blah blah blah), getting the latest tattoo (and beard) and shooting pretty average stuff (Thanks to technology), that for the most part will not be seen.
We are now entering the "Anyone can distribute anything" phase ..... soon to be awash in a sea of online content providers delivering more and more mediocre content to the masses who simply have no intention of actually paying for it … thanks Google.
Only a small minority will actually blossom and develop into meaning employment. The rest will slowly realise that long term it is extremely hard to actually earn a liveable wage. Some will do wedding videos, for some it will remain a hobby, but an increasing number will simply sell their Philip Bloom slider and Canon 5D etc and go get a job that pays the rent.
Misleading advertisements like this encapsulates this part of the "industry" perfectly. Cool, Hip, Expensive ... "we will prepare and condition you to work for no money for few years" Keep remembering " You are special and you can do anything".
Actually - 99% of people are NOT special and they cannot do "anything" The 1% that are constantly paraded around as success stories either ARE special, or lucky or both. Not to mention that, for the most part they have worked extremely hard for many years.
Back to my dentist. He's buying a Sony F5 along with lens etc. He loves talking about all the creative things he wants to do. Has he ever done anything before - no. But according to him, he has always had this "creative streak" in him. But at least he is realistic "It's just going to be a hobby".
Of course it is, I think to myself as his receptionist hands me a $2106.00 bill for about hour of his dental work. Of course it is.

I don't like pessimism and I feel like being overly optimistic, even if it's a pipe dream, is the best option. You never know. You never know what will happen if you push yourself and that goes for every single person trying to do anything. Your logic could apply to any career, so why even bother getting out of bed?
If we're being "real" though, you're pretty much on point. There are options out there to make money but there are constantly more and more people vying for that job at a lower price. Ad revenues are a joke. We have 67,000 subscribers and average about $400-$450 a month. It pays a couple of bills and goes down if we don't upload a new video for a while. Not enough to live on until you get up into the 300-500k subscriber category. PLUS it requires constant attention to maintain.
To carve a career out you need multiple revenue streams and the patience/diligence to set those up and then maintain them. It's not easy, at all.
One might say, "well just go to Film School then". I can't say if that's right or wrong, but I know that it adds debt and once you're done you are plopped into the same boat as everyone else (perhaps even a bigger/more competitive boat). Not only that, but then you will experience the same hardships in making a name for yourself and working your way up. So why start off in debt? That was my logic and I can't be sure if it was the right choice, but that's the choice we made.
The "reward" is worth it though. You get to do what you want for a living/career. It's worth pushing, it's worth fighting for, it's worth your time. The path to get there is insane and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
The hilarious part is that by MOST standards, we are not successful. Like, having a decent following on YouTube and a small online presence for your own business is considered "moderate success" in the film industry...if that. If it's been this hard to get HERE...damn. What can you say? It's pessimistic but it's the truth.
That being said, you can look at it two ways and I choose to look at it like this, "if I was able to climb to here, anyone else can, and if other people climbed from where I am now and went a little higher, I'm going to try to as well." Woe is life, right? You could abandon it here, with Cinematography, but you will be presented with the same challenge anywhere else. So why not tackle it?
OK, that reeked of a self help speech. Forgive me. :)

Your on the nose here Luke. We do kind of all suck until we become the next Tarantino or something like it. But some people just want to do music videos, or online content, or doc work, so there are different video content facets that people want to be engaged in since tech has evolved.
And I believe people want to be so quick to judge other people when it comes to actual "filmmaking", and make excuses even when people are successful, like "that person had a 1m budget, etc." The truth is you never know anyone's back line or what they had to do to get to where they are. I love NFS, but a lot of people talk a lot of shit and seem to never put their money where there mouth is when people ask to see their work, that is hilarious.
Most people never imagine making a career out of it, but if you love it so intensely with every inch of your being then you will stay your ass home on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to study, shoot, and grow. And continue to be a badass. In fact, I was at Adrian Lyne's house recently and I asked him." What's the deal man? What do you have to do?" He told me simply," Just fucking do it already man." It's that Nike shit. Just do it.
End rant Part II.

Really helpful to here the truth, but still with a bit of optimism! Like, no one would become a well-paid cinematographer if no one was optimistic enough to believe in themselves. I don't know if I will succeed, but I DO know that I love what I do, even as a 16 year old.

"Actually – 99% of people are NOT special and they cannot do "anything" The 1% that are constantly paraded around as success stories either ARE special, or lucky or both. Not to mention that, for the most part they have worked extremely hard for many years."
Agree 100%. I'm glad someone came out and said it. Even if you threw in the "worked extremely hard" phrase which can mislead. Though the phrase is absolutely true, this coupled with the "you can do anything you set your mind to" mantra misleads many people into thinking they can become the next Tarantino if they only work hard enough.
To use your excellent dentist example, if you poll kids on their senior high school year and ask them whether they prefer to be a a dentist or the next Tarantino, they would probably all say Tarantino. If you do the same poll and replace Tarantino with "struggling filmmaker", the results will be vastly different. But since they have been indoctrinated to believe they "can do anything they set their mind to", they don't consider the struggling filmmaker option, and instead believe they can all be the next Tarantino. That's right, all millions of them believe they can be the next of which there are only maybe 100 in the entire world.
Simple fact is the world has a lot more job openings for dentists than for Tarantinos. So it would stand to reason that there would be more people on the dentist career track, that on the Tarantino career track. But we find the opposite is true. And so the condition of very slim job openings and a gargantuan pool of people jockeying for those jobs creates the race to the bottom that you find yourselves in; where working for free is completely normal, encouraged even, and free work is incredibly, not the bottom. The new bottom is actually PAYING to work, which what many aspiring actors and screenwriters do to get auditions or have their script read. In the end film school is also PAYING to work when you think about it.
It is so bad that celibacy (s in unmarried, not sexually abstinent) has more or less become a pre-requisite to making a career in film.
I've said the same things for those who are trying to "break into" the video game industry. If fact if you are on a career track where you need to "break into" anything, it is highly likely you are wasting your life away in a pipe dream because you have been indoctrinated by propaganda from an early age. Some people are indoctrinated to beleive they have a harem of virgins waiting in the next life and if they do crazy things in this life. Others are indoctrinated to believe that they can become the next if they put up with poor life quality for 5-30 years. Both are crazy IMHO.

Why do you care? Do you think your dentist bill would've been less, had he not been interested in filmmaking?When I was growing up, we could only dream about ever making a movie with decent equipment that would potentially be seen by people around the globe. Now that this is actually possible for everyone that has ever had a dream, why are you so bothered by it? Should they resist and keep their dreams unrealized or untried? Would it be better, to say, "I'll probably never be any good at this and will never be the 1%, therefore I won't even bother".
If we are "awash in a sea of mediocre talent" do we not still have the excellent talent to view instead? Why do you care so much about tattoos, beards, and the equipment that other people buy and talk about? Why do we care so much about "hipsters" and what others are doing, or what others want to talk about, or about other peoples dreams, or how they choose to make money, or not make money for that matter, if that is what they choose?
Whether they truly believe they can be the next Tarantino or whether it is a hobby or whether they just want to express their creativity for no other reason then just simply to 'express", why does that agitate you?
In the world today, wanting to be a cinematographer, growing a beard and buying a slider is not the problem. Having no tolerance for other people however, would be. Live your life, and let others live theirs.
July 24, 2014 at 11:48AM, Edited September 4, 11:56AM
@Jeff ... I believe in freedom of expression and right for one to follow ones creative dream whether it be in cinematography, creative writing or naked line dancing. I was simply making an observation with regard to the misleading advertising / marketing video pitch shown in the original post. My observations are based on fifteen years in the music industry followed by a similar length of time shooting pictures.
More importantly they are also based on being a parent with teenage kids, who despite being exposed to the industry first hand, are looking at other career options. I surmise working for no money (paying money to work in some cases) on projects that people expect not to pay for does not appeal to them. Funny that. The irony is, that my kids and their friends "are" the Google generation. Happy to pay (well I still pay actually) $230 for a pair of shoes that cost $2.60 to make, happy to pay $5.80 for specialised cup of coffee that took 2 mins to make but refuse / do not understand why anyone would pay for any content (music / books / films / TV shows) that took in most cases, a large number of people many months to make and cost quite a bit money to produce.
To answer "why do I care?"
I care because taking a creative license with young peoples lives and money is not something I condone. This is not the year 2002, the paid work is simply not there. Perhaps film schools should be required (as other industries are) to run a factual disclaimer, i.e.: "Please note that less than 1% of students are likely to find paid work on the completion of this expensive course". This "could" be seen as a classic example of bait and switch advertising. Walk in paying at the door expecting a glamorous, exciting work and life style only to find you get years of working for no money on not so glamorous projects that don't generate any income that you will see from your "points share". Not to mention the very real dangers for young people working on dodgy sets and environments. Sadly a couple of recent tragedies have highlighted this growing phenomena.
With regard to "Having no tolerance" when one works with with "artists" on all levels for many years and has teenage kids, one would not last a day in life without an enormous amount of "tolerance for other people". But this is not about "tolerance" this is about selling unrealistic dreams and making money. Well, making money for Film Schools and Equipment manufacturers.
Back on point, this video sales pitch also does not mention the fact that, just as digital Cinema has inevitably replaced film, over the next 10 years (possibly sooner) CGI Cinematography will encroach on if not replace traditional Cinematography, so employment opportunities for 95% of traditional long form / feature film DOPs out there at the moment is decreasing by the day, this is NOT a growth industry, in fact clearly the opposite …… yes, yes … cue laughter.
Again, these are just my observations.

Thanks for your reply back. Your last paragraph was well taken. I'm not so much referring to just traditional cinematography (although I realize that is the topic of this post) but digital media arts in general, and all the various offshoots. Sorry, I should've been more clear and on topic, and that probably changes things a lot as far as your view on it. I'm not certain if that 1% figure pertains to just cinematography or an industry as a whole, but nonetheless, I always would encourage, rather than discourage.
I have also been in the music industry 20 plus years and counting, and recently added video production the past 5 years, and ironically, have 4 sons (2 teens, 2 in their 20's). I've tried to really encourage them to pursue the arts, if that's were their heart was at. My one son just graduated from Full Sail two months ago with a degree in Digital Media Arts and Design. A month ago he packed it up and moved to Brooklyn (the Hipster capital, lol). Whether true or not, I would never say anything along the lines of, "You know only 1% ever make it, blah blah" that would've killed it for him. Instead, I told him him to "burn the ships", here's the full quote from Napoleon Hill (just in case anyone else may be inspired by it)
"A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his army against a powerful foe whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, and then gave the order to burn the ships that carried them.
Addressing his men before the first battle he said, "You see the boats going up in smoke?" "That means we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win." "We now have no choice, we win or we perish." They won."
He knows he cannot rely on me to pay his way while there, a little help, sure. But it is up to him. He's currently networking, getting resumes out to studios, and has landed a few well paying freelance gigs. Most importantly he is happy to be pursuing a field he is interested in. We both feel he will make it. His other graduating friends are there as well, one who is pursuing a career in Film. They are all doing remarkably well, for just arriving. He's not getting the "full rate" for his work right now, and has to throw in some freebies here and there, but he's building relationships and referrals. I think that's important when you're new in an industry.
If that 1% rule is at all accurate, I think maybe it could be because we tell our young people that, and plant a seed of doubt which sometimes kills it for them. If you burn the ships, it's amazing how providence changes, and how your general outlook can change. Things tend to fall into place.
And if not, well... I always have the spare bedroom here. (but don't tell him that...)
All the best to you and your family. :)

Actually, I'm a guy with a good 8-5 job (not a dentist), that also has a good script I want to produce into a movie. I have no delusions of being director or DP - my movie deserves a lot better than I know I can do. But I did go out and buy a nice camera and lenses because I want to educate myself on cinematography. I did take 6 semesters worth of filmmaking classes at the local community college because I want to educate myself on the process of making a movie, as well as do some networking. I have made several short films, again to educate myself (some for film school, some just to engage myself with others similarly interested). I will never be Tarantino, nor do I want to be. But, I have accomplished what I wanted - education.
BTW, I always paid my talent in my shorts - even if just enough to cover their transportation and food. It always got me better talent, and a professional environment goes a long way to making a better production. Cheesy acting and poor sound will kill any good script or awesome cinematography...

Cinematographer is when you live in a city, where everybody wants the product in 4 days, you don't have money to buy a new camera, everything is punk, you sometimes don't sleep for days and still you haven't given up.
This hipster shit makes me sad. Do it in two days with 60D and one reflector and then call yourself a cinematographer.

The DIY / Indie film scene is a profitable one for companies that make videos like this. It's about making money and nothing else. They don't care you think the video is hipster, they want your cash.
The DIY / Indie market never touches on the fact the cinematographer job is more about leading people then behind the lens. You need to lead a team of people on set to create the film. How often do you see articles on this site about the leadership role of a DoP on set? Being an effective communicator and leader is just as important to the "process" as selecting the right lens or light. That's the unglamorous side of the whole process and the most over looked part.

Why do you care? Do you think your dentist bill would've been less, had he not been interested in filmmaking?When I was growing up, we could only dream about ever making a movie with decent equipment that would potentially be seen by people around the globe. Now that this is actually possible for everyone that has ever had a dream, why are you so bothered by it? Should they resist and keep their dreams unrealized or untried? Would it be better, to say, "I'll probably never be any good at this and will never be the 1%, therefore I won't even bother".
If we are "awash in a sea of mediocre talent" do we not still have the excellent talent to view instead? Why do you care so much about tattoos, beards, and the equipment that other people buy and talk about? Why do we care so much about "hipsters" and what others are doing, or what others want to talk about, or about other peoples dreams, or how they choose to make money, or not make money for that matter, if that is what they choose?
Whether they truly believe they can be the next Tarantino or whether it is a hobby or whether they just want to express their creativity for no other reason then just simply to 'express", why does that agitate you?
In the world today, wanting to be a cinematographer, growing a beard and buying a slider is not the problem. Having no tolerance for other people however, would be. Live your life, and let others live theirs.

I think many here are taking it a bit too serious. Would love to see the creators response to these comments.
IMO, it was a satirical take, like those firefighter videos, heroes in the making kind of thing. It made me laugh. :-)

Pitch perfect marketing for a graduate film school like this one. Honestly, consider their target audience and potential recruitment base.
Dreamers/idealistic college students wanting to turn their hobby or side gig into the real thing. They lack the life and work experience true professionals have allowing for this message to resonate.
On a side note, I wonder how many opinions they would have swayed differently by showcasing an Alexa. I bet they have one in the closet, haha.

Cannot wait to buy my own Red Epic Dragon carbon fibre cinema camera system (and LED lights) and start shooting all bad ass like that bearded tatted-up guy! Looking forward to showing up on set on my fixie bike after consuming a few cafe au laits at dawn on my penthouse terrace overlooking a grand European cityscape. Of course, I'm willing to use a Blackmagic in the beginning if it means I can keep the penthouse until the big money starts rolling in, so I'm willing to compromise. I just need some advice what are some good lenses that will fit the Red camera. Please, only real answers, as I'm going to tattoo their likeness on my arms, so I need to know what dope lenses the pros use on movies like Iron Man and Avatar or Toy Story.

"Before I walk on set there's just darkness. Like the world before God conceived it."
Makes me think of the old "What's the difference between a DP and God?"
- God doesn't think he's a DP.
It's too preachy, tries too hard - misses the mark, and that cinematography isn't good enough to represent the profession imho.

I must admit that I'm used to seeing the absurd amount of negative comments on this site now, however this is the first time I've been compelled to leave a comment about it.
This video is someone expressing what being a cinematographer means to them through film making itself. So what if it may seem arty or self-aggrandising? The very act of making content for people to consume is implying that you have something of worth to give to the world that they will hopefully appreciate.
To me film is art and everything that goes in to film making is art. This is what has always motivated me to want to make films; to express myself through the medium of moving images.
The problem with a lot of people these days is that they are scared of the word pretentious; the worst thing that could happen is for someone to label them as pretentious, so anyone else dares to express themself in an artistic and romantic way relating to film are immediately shot down for it.
I'd rather work with a team of artists who believe they have something new to say about the world we live in and the human condition than a group of technicians who just want to treat the film making process as a conveyor belt. That last way of thinking is why western mainstream cinema is the way it is right now.
Prepare for backlash in 3...2...1

I find it funny that commentators especially on NFS have the nerve to call anything pretentious when those same people spend their lives whining about and criticizing what other people create as if you have the answers for everything.
Too Dramatic? Yea no shit. Seems to me that might have been on purpose. QYB

Instead of buying an F5 and wanting to be the next Wally Pfister, Judith's dentist should have bought a Les Paul and a Marshall stack in order to become the next Jimmy Paige.
PS. Off the web stats, there are over 800,000 electric guitars (bass and rhythm/lead) sold in the US annually. Some of these guitar playing folks earn a living at it. The majority does not. The same is also true of people owning baseball gloves and the George Foreman Grills.

Two official teaser trailers for Man of Steel - a reboot of the Superman franchise, from director Zack Snyder and producer/co-writer Christopher Nolan - are attached to prints of Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, and can now be viewed online.
Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill (Immortals) as Clark Kent, a young journalist who was born Kal-El: a survivor of the fallen alien planet Krypton, transported to Earth by his parents Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer). Small-town farmers Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane) raise Kal-El as their son, imbuing him with a strong sense of integrity and compassion so that he learn to use his extraordinary powers responsibly - even in a troubled world that views him as a threat, rather than a potential savior.
Warner Bros. premiered a sizzle reel from Snyder's film at the Comic-Con 2012 Man of Steel panel, and there are chunks of that footage in the official theatrical trailers. The latter are shorter and more structured than their Con counterpart, but manages to leave a similar impression - namely, that Man of Steel aims to offer a nuanced and serious take on the Superman mythos, befitting the contemporary age of superhero movies (and influenced by DC Comics' "New 52" reboot).
That approach includes: an altered version of the Superman costume, meant to make the character look more like an armored warrior (than a guy in a skin-tight unitard) - and a stripped-down visual style that lacks the digital polish found in Snyder's previous comic book adaptations (300 and Watchmen), in favor of the muted colors and realistic texture featured in Nolan's Batman trilogy.
Nolan's influence is readily apparent in Man of Steel footage shown to date, what with the continued emphasis on the philosophical aspects of the Superman story - as reflected in scenes where a disheveled Clark travels the world as an ordinary man, and listens to teachings about how we shape our destiny, as passed down by both his biological and adopted father in the two separate trailers (Pa Kent - above/Jor-El - below). Those elements are woven together with Americana imagery (shots of wagons and clotheslines around the Kent farm) that harken back to Superman's origins as an All-American hero.
Overall, the mix of old and new Superman mythology should go over well with certain fans, while others will be left grumbling about how their favorite superhero has been "Nolan-ized." It will be arguably be more interesting to see how Man of Steel is received by the moviegoing masses as a whole. If the film is a success, it could set a precedent for the DC Movie Universe; if it flops, that could inspire Warner Bros./DC to drastically change their (as yet, unannounced) game plan
Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Antje Traue, and Ayelet Zurer. It is based on a story co-coceived by Christopher Nolan and Davis S. Goyer (who also co-penned the script), and directed by Zack Snyder.
Look for Man of Steel to open in U.S. theaters on June 14th, 2013.

How to Make Christmas Sugarplums
These are the sugarplums of children's dreams. Sugarplums are small candies made from dried fruit; kids love making them. If you're making them for adults, try the spirited version; otherwise, use orange juice as the liquid.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Yield: Thirty-six 1-inch sugarplums
1/2 cup finely chopped dried figs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup finely chopped dates
1/4 cup finely chopped dried cherries
1/4 cup finely chopped golden raisins
1/4 cup unsweetened grated coconut
2 tablespoons rum, orange liqueur, or orange juice
1 cup confectioners sugar (approximately)
The various fruits and nuts should be uniform in size. Place the dried fruits, nuts, coconut, and liquid in a bowl and mix together thoroughly by hand or with a wooden spoon. Roll into 1-inch balls, lightly compressing the mixture so that it sticks together.
Roll the balls in confectioners sugar and place in small fluted paper cups, if desired. A nice touch is to roll the ball so that half of it is covered in sugar and half of it is plain.
Place in airtight container and refrigerate for up to one month.
Per serving: Calories 35 (From fat 18); Total fat 2g (Saturated 0g); Cholesterol 0mg; Sodium 1mg; Carbohydrates 5g (Dietary Fiber 1g); Protein 0g;.
You know how when you buy a box of fancy candy or chocolate, each piece is nestled in a little paper cup? These fluted paper cups can be found easily at craft stores and specialty food stores. The small ones, which are a little over 1 inch across, are perfect for candies such as these and give them a professional appearance. They also keep the candies from sticking together and make packaging them up for gifts much easier. And, well, they just look darn purty that way.
If you want to give the candies a nice finish, but don't have any confectioners sugar around the house, simply roll them in granulated sugar. Another way to simplify the recipe is to use whatever dried fruits are easily accessible. Dark raisins are great, as are apricots.
To gussie these treats up, dip them in melted and lightly cooled chocolate, let the excess drip off, and then place them on a parchment-lined pan and refrigerate until set. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

Someone trying to contract with me to give a keynote in a very cool country (*fingers crossed*) today asked me how many talks/classes/keynotes I've given in my career. I realized I had no idea. I went back and counted.
I've spoken at 207 various events since I started in mid-2002. That's an average of 20 or so a year. And given that the first few years were very slow, you can see how that works out to a lot more than that in the last few years (and indeed my past presentations list demonstrates just that).
People ask me how I do the speaking and the writing and hold down a full time job. I just shrug and make that weird "I don't know" sound that includes no actual words (sorta like "uh-ah-uh"). I really don't know. I just do it. I love what I do–and when you're passionate about something it feels a lot less like work.
After reading that count, I feel rather old. And rather busy. I would be off to grab a cocktail as consolation for both if I didn't have a nighttime City Council meeting to attend………Which I love attending– hello City Council 🙂
The advice I'd share with newbies on the speaker circuit? Pace yourself for ceiling cat's sake. You won't go out of style. Only take what you can realistically accommodate without sacrificing your sleep, your personal life, or your job. I'm taking a lot fewer gigs, especially traveling ones, nowadays largely in an attempt to reinvigorate my personal life (here's hoping) and to have more mental space to devote to being a new director. So if you're out there speaking…just be real with yourself, your loved ones, and your employer. You'll find a balance as long as you're consciously thinking about it. We can't all be Stephen Abram and fly from place to place being super smart all the time 😉

Lovely and delicious -- but more of a side dish or snack than a main course.
1 bunch beets (4-5 beets)
1 tablespoon salt
Preheat oven to 375F.
Wash beets. Trim leaves and base.
Tear one square of aluminum foil per beet.
Place salt in a small bowl. Lightly roll each beet in the salt, then wrap in aluminum foil. Repeat until all the beets are finished.
Place wrapped beets on baking sheet and cook for 30 to 45 minutes, or until beets are tender.
Remove beets from the oven. Carefully unwrap the foil on a beet, then hold the beet under cool running water and gently remove the skin. Repeat with remaining beets.
Cut beets in small pieces and serve with parsley pesto (recipe below).
Parsley Pesto Ingredients
1 bunch parsley, washed
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
dash salt
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon water
Place parsley, garlic, walnuts, cheese, salt and pepper in a food processor, and process until finely blended.
Scrape down the food processor bowl, then, with food processor running, carefully pour oil and water down the feed tube and process until smooth.

I'm planning on using established guilds as npc rivals. The player characters start out as nobodies, in some cases as slaves, and will eventually have the opportunity of starting up their own guild(once they earn enough gold). It occurs to me that a guild charter would prove useful, preferably several different ones. Problem is I don't know how I would be able to write one!
So does anyone have any examples, or alternatively solid guidelines on what should go into an adventuring guild charter?

Justin Bieber FaceTimes With 17-Year-Old Education Activist [PHOTO]by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Justin Bieber is spreading his love to Beliebers all over the world, including a 17-year-old Pakistani activist named Malala Yousafzai.
The 20-year-old singer revealed he got in touch with Malala when he posted a photo on Instagram of the two FaceTiming. He wrote: "Just got to FaceTime with Malala Yousafzai. She has such an incredible story. I can't wait to meet her in person and talk about how I can support her and the@malalafund. #love."
Malala made headlines when she survived a shooting in Pakistan after working as an activist to fight for the education of girls in her country (via the Daily Mail). She has since started the Malala Fund, as mentioned by the Biebs above, to bring awareness to the importance of school for girls all around the world.
Is Justin's Insta hinting that he's somehow going to get involved with the organization? Despite his bad rep in the media, the singer does have a solid reputation for being heavily involved with charities. And the Malala Fund sounds like a great one to work with!
Whatever happens with Justin and the org, we hope Malala at least had a good time chatting with the pop star!

Private Schools Push Back at Tennessee Plan for No-Cost Community College
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam wants every high-school graduate in his state to be able to attend a community or technical college free of charge, a goal he says will strengthen the workforce and attract investment.
To fund the "Tennessee Promise" plan, estimated to cost about $35 million a year when fully implemented, the governor wants to trim the money Tennessee spends on scholarships at four-year colleges.

BALLSTON -- Ballston Town Supervisor Patti Southworth confirmed Friday that she will run for the now-vacant Saratoga County Clerk position in the November election. The position was vacated when Kathy Marchione, a Republican who held the clerk position for 14 years, was elected to the state Senate last year. She left the $99,500 post at the end of 2012. As of Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo had not appointed anyone to the position and a call to Cuomo's office for comment was not immediately returned. Cuomo could appoint someone to the post, but that person would still have to run in the November election. Southworth is the only Independent Party supervisor on the county board. She stepped down as chair of the Saratoga County Independence Party so she could focus on the upcoming campaign. She said that decision was mutual between her and the party. Lee Kolesnikoff, a member of the executive committee of the Independence Party for both Saratoga County and the state, declined to comment on whether the party supports Southworth's ambition for county clerk or why she is no longer the party's county chair. The Independence Party has not endorsed anyone in the race -- Southworth is the only candidate to have officially announced plans to run in November -- but the party did submit Southworth's name for Cuomo to consider if he decided to appoint someone as clerk. Southworth said she's not sure what party, if any, she would seek endorsements from. "I will be evaluating that as I move forward," she said, admitting it was early to be announcing her candidacy or endorsements. "I haven't gotten that far in the process yet." This means that Southworth will not be seeking reelection as Ballston Supervisor in November, a position she has been in for six years. "I think I could be of help to taxpayers in that position and can find some ways to save money in that department," Southworth said. "I think I have a lot of private sector experience that would be helpful in that office." Southworth was a practicing pharmacist for 23 years before stepping back from that role to take the part-time position as supervisor, which she said she treats like a full-time job. If elected, Southworth said she would bring her customer-service experience from that career to the position. "You are dealing with the public every day and your role is to serve the public," she said. She also pointed to her fiscal experience crafting budgets as supervisor, which she said she has "held the line on." Southworth also said she is versed at working across both sides of the aisle, since "I am the true minority party" on the county board as the only third-party politician. The county Republican Party put forward Halfmoon Councilman and business owner Craig Hayner as their choice to replace Marchione in the position. The Saratoga County Democratic Party has submitted "a few names" to the governor's office for consideration, but they have declined to say who. Chairman Todd Kerner said their choice to run in November "depends on the outcome of filling the vacancy."

Weld-Cleaning Brush
There are 0 comments | Post a comment
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Weiler Corp., Cresco, PA, has added a new 4.5-in. Roughneck to its
line of high-performance stringer-bead brushes, designed specifically for use on 4.5-in. mini-grinders. Traditionally, welders and fabricators using 4.5-in.angle grinders have been limited to 4-in.-dia. stringer-bead wheels for surface preparation, root-pass weld cleaning and interpass weld cleaning. This new Roughneck brush is designed for optimum cleaning action and product life on small angle grinders, and features a high knot count and short trim length. The design reportedly results in a 35-percent improvement in cleaning action, as much as 20 percent less wire loss and a 50-percent boost in brush life compared to a 4-in. stringer- bead brush.
The new Roughneck is available with carbon-steel or Type 302 stainless-steel wire, with a variety of arbor-hole options.

A taxpayer is considered an injured spouse when a joint overpayment (refund) was/is expected to be applied to a past due obligation of the other spouse. By filing Form 8379, the injured spouse may be able to get back his or her portion of the refund.
The following debts apply for this purpose:
- Past-due federal tax
- Child or spousal support
- Federal non-tax debt (such as a student loan)
- State income tax
If the IRS has applied the injured spouse's refund against the spouse's tax liability, or you are concerned that the IRS may do so, file Form 8379 along with your Federal tax return. The form requests identifying information for both the taxpayer and spouse as well as information needed to determine how much of the tax - and refund - is attributable to each spouse. The IRS makes the actual calculation that divides the refund between you and your spouse.
File Form 8379 if all three of the following apply:
- The injured spouse is not required to pay the past-due amount,
- The injured spouse has reported income such as wages, taxable, interest, etc., on the joint return, and
- The injured spouse made payments such as federal income tax withheld or estimated payments, or claimed the EIC or other refundable credit on the joint return.
Important Notes:
- At least one exemption must be allocated to each spouse or the IRS will reject the return.
- Filing your return with Form 8379 will delay the processing of your Federal refund up to 11-14 weeks.
To locate Form 8379 within your [#AFFILIATE#] account, from the Welcome Back screen, select Federal Section>>>Miscellaneous Forms>>>Begin (Injured Spouse Form (Form 8379) and allocate the income, deductions, credits, etc. as it applies to the Injured Spouse.

What is the location of the real Mount Sinai?Question: "What is the location of the real Mount Sinai?"
Answer: Where is the real Mount Sinai? For centuries, scholars, explorers and pilgrims have sought the location of the real Mount Sinai—the mountain of God from the biblical story of Moses and the Exodus. Today, most people are unaware that little or no evidence has surfaced that supports the traditional site called "Mount Sinai" in the south central Sinai Peninsula. In fact, it seems the only reason that the traditional site is designated "Mount Sinai" is that Helena, mother of Constantine I, decreed it as such in the early 300s AD.
Several other proposed sites for the real Mount Sinai have been suggested over the years, but no hard evidence has been produced by scholars or archaeologists to date. Robert Cornuke, an investigative explorer for BASE Institute, has said, "If we are ever to discern a correct location for the historical events recorded in the biblical Book of Exodus, it's important to use the Scriptures as a guide, just as we would use any ancient documents that have proven reliable in the past."
The Scriptures can help us discover the general location for the real Mount Sinai. Exodus 3:1 plainly identifies Mount Horeb (Sinai) as being in Midian: "Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God." Scripture reveals here that the region of "Midian" is undeniably the same as present-day Saudi Arabia. This has been established by numerous sources. Second, the traditional site for Mount Sinai on the Sinai Peninsula has nothing to do geographically with the "back" of a desert. By contrast, certain mountains in Saudi Arabia are on the far side or margin of a vast desert in ancient Midian.
Exodus 2:15 reveals more. After killing an Egyptian, Moses fled Egypt for safer ground: "When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian." Egypt and its holdings would not have been safe for Moses under any circumstances. He would not have fled to the Sinai Peninsula, where archaeology shows that Pharaoh had multiple mining interests and military outposts. The Bible is clear that Moses went out of Egypt, to the land of Midian east of the Gulf of Aqaba.
The Bible makes several references to Moses returning to Egypt from Midian, including Exodus 4:19, where we read, "Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, 'Go back to Egypt, for all the men who wanted to kill you are dead.'" All passages associated with Moses' stay in Midian point toward present-day Saudi Arabia as the area to which Moses fled, subsequently met God at the burning bush, and then returned to with the children of Israel.
In the New Testament, Paul wrote in Galatians 4:25, "Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia . . ." As a "Hebrew of Hebrews," Paul's understanding of Arabia would have been one that was consistent with Old Testament passages like 1 Kings 10:15; 2 Chronicles 9:14; Isaiah 21:13; Jeremiah 25:24; and Ezekiel 27:21, in which Arabia is clearly identified with the region east of the Gulf of Aqaba, where "kings" ruled and the "Dedanites" co-dwelt with other nomadic peoples.
So, where is the real Mount Sinai? Many Bible references seem to point away from the traditional Mount Sinai in the Sinai Peninsula and toward the mountains of Saudi Arabia. However, is there evidence to support this theory? We suggest that you check out the expeditions and discoveries of Robert Cornuke in the DVD listed below. He's an investigator and explorer who's put the theory to the test by documenting the evidence for the real Mount Sinai at Jabal al lawz in Saudi Arabia. Robert Cornuke's evidence is credible and compelling.

All sunglasses are designed to reduce brightness, but glare from the sun can still cause eye strain, squinting or even temporary blindness - which can be particularly hazardous whilst driving. To avoid this, Vision Express recommend polarised lenses, which provide 100% protection from glare and block 100% of UV rays.
Visible light waves from the sun travel in all directions. When sunlight reflects off a horizontal surface, like a road or water, it often becomes concentrated horizontally. This is known as glare.
Vertical light is useful to the human eye, but glare masks useful light, making it difficult and uncomfortable to see. Polarised lenses block glare and allow only useful vertical light to enter the eye and are especially useful for activities such as driving, skiing and fishing.
We offer free next-day delivery via our express courier.
Orders received before 4pm, Monday to Friday, will be delivered the next day*. See our delivery page for more information.
*Postcode exclusions apply.
Sunglasses can be returned up to 30 days after receipt for a full refund. See our returns page for more information.
If you already have a pair of glasses, you can compare sizing by checking the lens diameter and bridge width. On most glasses, this information can be found printed on the inside of the left arm. You may also see a third number, which is the length of the arm.

Mystery of missing leopard cats solved!
4:22 PM | Posted by Jo Ross | Edit Post
In May 2008 we captured our first leopard cat, an adult male, along the gravel road that leads to the Danum Valley Field Centre. LC M1, aka 'Eddie', was radio-tagged and tracked successfully over the next 4 months in the dense secondary forest of the Ulu Segama FR, moving a few hundreds metres each day and exhibiting a homerange of around 2km2, typical of our leopard cats. On the 13th of September 2008 we located Eddie resting close to an old logging road, but, as it would turn out, this would be the last day we would find him.
In January 2009 we captured our 5th male leopard cat, with the help of Zara, from the Felidae Conservation Fund (FCF), and Paloma, our temporary vet from Peru. LC M5 became the first leopard cat ever to be collared with a (rather expensive) GPS collar, courtesy of FCF. This collar consists of a radio transmitter, but unlike standard radio collars this collar also records its position at predefined periods using the on-board GPS receiver, storing the data on the collar itself. To access the data we need to track the cat using the on-board standard radio transmitter, wait for the collar to fall off (via a fabricated weak point in the collar material), and then manually download the data to a PC. LC M5 was located near to the trap site the following day, but thereafter we have been unable to locate him…… until this week that is!
Earlier this year we moved our camera traps into an area of oil palm plantation located around 25 km from our main forest field site. In the 7 weeks that the cameras have been running we've accumulated over 400 leopard cat photos. You'll understand our absolute astonishment when, whilst reviewing the recent photos from the oil palm, we discovered photos of both Eddie and LC M5! Both cats are still in excellent physical condition and the collars appear to be undamaged. So it would appear that both these cats have upped sticks and travelled over 25 km to a completely new homerange, which explains our being unable to find them over the last few months. Sajaril has just this minute returned from the field and has great news…. he and Remmy have radiotracked both cats in the plantation. It's fantastic to catch up with our old friends!

First insights into the world's least-known wild cat
1:27 AM | Posted by Andy Hearn | Edit Post
The Bornean bay cat Pardofelis badia is a small endangered felid found only in the forests of Borneo. Arguably the world's least known wild cat, this species was first photographed in the wild as recently as 2002! We know very little about this cat's ecology –such as its population size or its habitat requirements – we don't even know what this species eats. We do know that this cat is threatened from the rapid forest loss that is underway in Borneo, and that we need to increase our knowledge of the bay cat if we are to help conserve it.
For the last two and half years Jo, myself and our colleagues have been trying to answer some of these questions with the aid of radiotracking and camera traps. Whilst we've had little luck in catching these elusive cats our trusty camera traps have captured an amazing 23 images of bay cats (only 32 photos of this cat in the wild have ever been taken!) and are beginning to shed some light on the secret lives of these mysterious cats. We're learning that although these cats can be active at night they exhibit a largely diurnal (daytime) activity cycle with a peak in activity at dawn. We've found that the two pelage colour phases (grey and red) can be present in the same population and that, at least in the Danum region, neither phase is dominant. We're also getting a handle on minimum population densities, and, perhaps most importantly, we're providing evidence that these cats can persist in recovering and recently selectively logged forests, but that their densities may be reduced from that found in primary forest.

Preparations for field course
8:34 PM | Posted by Andy Hearn | Edit Post
Preparations are now underway for our 4th "Mammal Field Research Techniques" training course. Aimed at encouraging local conservation biology undergraduates to conduct much-needed mammal field research in Borneo, the course provides grounding in the primary field techniques used to study mammals, such as camera trapping, radiotracking and habitat analysis. The course is conducted in collaboration with Dr Henry Bernard from the Institute for Tropical Biology & Conservation (ITBC) at the local UMS University. Following the end of the current Darwin Initiative programme the training course will be integrated into the ITBC's Conservation Biology BSc syllabus. This May we will be working alongside ITBC staff and expanding our curriculum to include reptiles and amphibians, in a trial integration of this course and their existing field course programme.

When plans were forming about the weekend away with the guys from Patriot Campers, it was evident from the get-go that it would be an action packed weekend. Justin Montesalvo, owner and operator of Patriot Campers was adamant in his email of what to bring for the weekend - normal camping essentials and TOYS, TOYS, TOYS.
We met the Patriot crew at a property on the Boyd River near the Nymboida National Park to start the weekend with some white water canoeing and tubing. The Nymboida National Park is roughly 40km south-west of Grafton in Northern NSW and boasts some beautiful scenery consisting of rock formations, rivers and creeks with stone beaches dotted along the banks and lush green forestry. There are plenty of activities to partake in, with mountain bike, hiking and 4WD trails, canoeing and swimming in the rivers and creeks, and best of all, limited to no phone reception.
The extended Patriot Family and friends sure like their Toyotas, with several 200 Series Cruisers, a Hilux and a 79 series making up the pack. When asked why the crew all drive Toyotas, Justin's response was simple; "Our whole family drives Toyotas because that's what we were brought up with. Nothing beats a twin-turbo V8 diesel, it's a pretty simple choice".
The Patriot campsite was on the Boyd River about 5km north of Dalmorton, where there were a few more Toyotas mixed with a laundry list of off road toys. From ATV buggies, to dirt bikes and quads it was pretty clear the Patriot crew like their toys and it's easy to see how the latest addition to the Patriot range, the Toy Hauler 560 (TH560) came about. The camp site was idyllic, with the small rapids of the river only 20 meters away with a few river stone beaches dotted along the banks.
The action soon stepped up a few notches from the white water canoeing once the buggies, dirt bike and ATV's were fuelled up and tearing around for the next few hours. As a dirt bike rider for years I had never really paid any attention to the full size side by side ATV buggies such as the Polaris RZR 1000, I always figured they were a bit of a novelty. But it took less than 20 seconds riding shotgun with Justin at the wheel to change my mind. These are an impressive bit of kit and ridiculously quick and extremely capable over just about any terrain.
Later in the afternoon we set off into the forest to recover one of the buggies that had had lost an argument with a tree stump the day before. After some running repairs it was up and running again, ready for another session the next day.
The next day we set off to another part of the property to set up an area where the kids could ride their dirt bikes and some of the adults could head off and explore in the buggies. A TH560 was set up a the base for the kids to ride around the area and it became obvious that as much as the Patriot gang like to get out and enjoy there toys, spending time with the family and encouraging the kids to get out and enjoy the outdoors is high on the list of priorities too.
The weekend was a blur of buggies, dirt bikes, quads, white water canoeing, 4WDing, swimming and camping in some Northern NSW most beautiful scenery. The Patriot crew of family and friends were extremely welcoming and after spending the weekend with them it is obvious, they work hard all week so they can enjoy their camping and toys on the weekends.
Justin's LC200 Stretch Ute
Among 200 Series Land Cruisers at the camp, Justin's highly modified 2015 model stood out from the pack. It has had the back chopped and a 650mm chassis extension by the guys at Creative Conversions. In addition to this it had a Patriot Campers custom tray that includes a 70 litre water tank under the tray with an electric pump, a side-out kitchen, a tray-mounted stereo, and a set of Maxtrax plus a high lift Jack. The finish of the tray is extremely high quality and holds the same look and feel as the X1 and TH560 trailers.
The 200 Series is fitted with a wish list of accessories making it an exceptionally capable tourer. Up front is a TJM bar and winch sporting a set of Great White spot lights and LED lightbars, powered by a 100amp hour lithium battery with Redarc BMS1230 and TJM Battery Monitor. The Cruiser rides on a set of Icon remote reservoir coilovers, with front and rear lockers pushing 35x12.50x17 BFG Mud Terrains to get it out of any tough terrain.
A TORQIT Diesel Tuner and Pedal Torque set up to squeeze some extra power out of the turbo diesel V8 and with a 4-inch stainless Beaudesert Exhaust the LC200 sounds tough and looks the part to match. A Rhino Rack roof basket gives extra storage and a long range fuel tank adds touring range.
When asked what sort of attention he gets driving the LC200 towing the TH560 Justin said, "I literally can't take that setup anywhere without being mobbed every time we stop. We get barricaded on the highway by people wanting to check it out".
For this trip the Cruiser had the kid's trio of Yamaha dirt bikes on the tray while a Polaris RZR100 rode on the Toy Hauler.
There were three TH560s on this trip each carrying a Polaris 1000cc RZR buggy on their massive 1.70m x 3.00m decks. The TH560s are a sight to see, with the carrying capacity on the back plus all the features and living area of the smaller Patriot X1 Camper on the front. It's the next level trailer for serious touring with the capacity to carry five dirt bikes, or one side by side ATV, a pair of jet skis, or two ATV's. Pictures do not give this thing justice.

National Design Awards
About the Awards
The National Design Awards were conceived by Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum to honor lasting achievement in American design. The Awards are bestowed in recognition of excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life. First launched at the White House in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council, the annual Awards program celebrates design as a vital humanistic tool in shaping the world, and seeks to increase national awareness of the impact of design through education initiatives.
The National Design Awards is one of the few programs of its kind structured to continue to benefit the nation long after the National Design Awards Gala. A suite of educational programs is offered in conjunction with the Awards during National Design Week, an initiative launched in 2006 that aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life. During National Design Week, the Museum hosts a series of education programs based on the vision and work of the honorees, and helps promote design events held across the country.
Award Categories
Reflecting the ever-growing scope of design, the National Design Awards program now includes ten jury-selected award categories and a Director's Award selected by the museum.
- Lifetime Achievement
- Director's Award
- Design Mind
- Corporate & Institutional Achievement
- Architecture Design
- Communication Design
- Fashion Design
- Interaction Design
- Interior Design
- Landscape Architecture
- Product Design
- Emerging Designer

What are the National Design Awards?
The Asterisk Trophy
The National Design Awards trophy was originally designed in a twisted asterisk form by William Drenttel and Jessica Helfand in 2000. The trophy is the physical embodiment of the National Design Awards celebration of innovation and excellence in American design. For the first decade, the trophies were produced by Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics, a world leader in the habitat and construction markets. In 2010, Smart Design, that year's winner in Product Design, recreated the original trophy in a new stainless-steel composite material. In 2011, The Corning Museum of Glass worked with a team from Cooper Hewitt to design a new trophy in glass and continues to produce the trophies today.
Created as part of the Corning Museum's GlassLab initiative, which serves to explore new design concepts and push the boundaries of innovation and creativity, the National Design Awards trophy features significant optical interest and distortion in the glass. Rather than pristine, pure glass without bubbles, the trophy's glass striations offer a hand-hewn, raw quality that appealed to the Cooper-Hewitt team. The top of the trophy is cut at a 50° angle, which allows viewers to peer into the glass and see their reflection and also permits the trophy to be set on the cross-section of the asterisk. Each trophy is hand-polished and takes six to eight hours to complete.
2019 Special Thanks

This has nothing to do with Duke Nukem Forever the game, but it's still a sad tale as far as game advertising goes.
While some titles have caught flak in recent years for appearing on things like buses, we've never seen one turn up in such an inappropriate place.
This billboard, advertising the decidedly adult DNF and complete with censored cursing, appeared right next door to a Baptist Church in Venice, Los Angeles. Worse still, out of shot but directly across the street is Westminster Elementary School, which only runs from kindergarten to the fifth grade.
Thankfully, after City Councilman Bill Rosendahl contacted the billboard's operator Lamar Advertising and let them know he'd received complaints, it was taken down.

Oxford Sculptors Group is showing off 82 sculptures in bronze, resin, wood and clay in its annual show at North Wall art gallery, Oxford, until February 7.
The works range from abstract shapes and decorative pieces to human forms like this piece, called Emergence.
Artist Pam Foley said the feminine figure was inspired by the subject of chronic sorrow.
Ms Foley, 56, originally from Massachusetts in the United States but who now lives in Jericho, said: "Our exhibitions are always very diverse with very high quality professional craftsmanship."
She said the sculptures invited the public to apply their own interpretations.
She is one of 23 group artists exhibiting at the show which opens today.
The North Wall gallery, in South Parade, Summertown, is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 12pm to 4pm on Saturdays.
All the artists will be at the gallery this Saturday between 1.30pm and 3.30pm for visitors to talk to.
