Maryland is among the nation’s most vulnerable states to the effects of sea level rise from climate change, and we are taking strong action to reduce carbon pollution.
The only reason we don’t notice how absolutely interwoven our thinking processes have become with older technologies – pencils, paper, electric light, penicillin, fire – is that they’re old, so we’ve ceased to notice their effects.
If you were around when ‘Them!’ or ‘Tarantula’ came out, those effects were as good as you had ever seen.
The main prank that we play with props is for people’s birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face – that’s always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who’s new.
There will always be people who think that money and benefits and even just having a job should be thanks enough. There are also those that think they do a great job without anyone having to thank them. But study after study has shown that no one is immune from the motivating effects of acknowledgement and thanks.
Kaaka Muttai’ is the expression of an insider. It is a film about globalisation and its effects.
The most important pathological effects of pollution are extremely delayed and indirect.
Men and women who have served in harm’s way experience higher rates of divorce and suicide. Many battle the debilitating effects and stigma associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
It is often said that having gone through any kind of suffering tends to makes you appreciate life more and live more in the present. I’m not sure how universal or long-lasting these effects really are.
Not a lot of hard rock bands are just letting it all be – they’re adding a lot of samples on things, or effects or whatever – and we just wanted the drums to be raw so you could really hear what Brooks Wackerman is capable of.
I had a great time working on ‘The Gates,’ and that was my first real experience doing supernatural television, working with the special effects and everything that goes into making a supernatural show.
Even people who aren’t engaged on the actual battlefield – the effects of war reach out like tentacles into families, into economies, into the changing geography, into politics. It shakes up everything.
I grew up watching movies and being amazed at the animatronics you’d see in stuff like ‘The Dark Crystal,’ and all those kinds of movies. So, I’m always enthralled with how they can make it all work, behind the scenes, with the visual effects.
The effects of human rights education can be dramatic in awakening people to the value and power of their own lives, as shown in the following stories.
‘Spider-Man’ seems to have a different tone to the pure Marvel stuff, but I really enjoyed the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ and ‘Iron Man’ movies. I love the special effects and how it seems very real, but at the same time, it still lives within the realm of Marvel. That’s got to be a lot of work.
I think social media has a lot of negative impact and negative effects. These are fairly extreme and horrifying and really gruesome.
I only storyboard scenes that require special effects, where it is necessary to communicate through pictures.
With a book I am the writer and I am also the director and I’m all of the actors and I’m the special effects guy and the lighting technician: I’m all of that. So if it’s good or bad, it’s all up to me.
I have zero strategy for my career – like, zero. I could get as much satisfaction about doing a $20,000 shot film the same way I could do a $100 million film with a bunch of effects.
As the story about CTE got more real, it became more clear that players are playing that without a full understanding of the risks they face, and the long-term effects.
In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.
I would say that there’s definitely some advantages with me being able to talk shop with some of the effects people. Because I come from a post-production world, I can speak shorthand with them. I don’t think many other actors can say that and know how the process 100% works.
I think ‘The Lost World’ could’ve been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.
Sometimes things get too layered and compressed or there’s too many effects and they turn into mush on record. I strive to keep it raw and live-sounding, like you are in the room watching the band play.
The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.
The chaos can act as a magnifier of quantum fluctuations so that they can produce sizable effects in the world around us. But we know that that can happen often.
I’m a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they’re interested in.
I’ve always been respectful to all the people who do visual effects and special effects, because making movies is also making magic.
While studying the effects of accumulated stress on the nervous system, I began to suspect that most organisms have an innate capacity to rebound from threatening and stressful events.
One of the effects of cheap food is, we have food that is so unsatisfactory. We need to go back to flavor.
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
I’ve actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it’s really tough to do. It’s really difficult to execute. There’s often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.
Having had to live through a period of integration into another country a number of years ago, I am keenly aware of the negative implications of stereotyping and the significant efforts required to undo its effects.
We have seen the corrupting effects of a deliberate propaganda campaign driven by fake news.
Some scientists believe climate change is the cause of unprecedented melting of the North Pole, and that effects these very uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to those scientists and experts.
When a coil is operated with currents of very high frequency, beautiful brush effects may be produced, even if the coil be of comparatively small dimensions. The experimenter may vary them in many ways, and, if it were nothing else, they afford a pleasing sight.
We want people to tell us the possible steps that can be taken to save ourselves from the harmful effects of air pollution.
I can only work out for so long before I start to really feel the effects.
American economists can’t understand the German fear of inflation and the effects of inflation when dealing with the world economic crisis. They wonder why Germany pursues such a different course – ‘Why can’t they agree with us?’ I would have thought it was fairly obvious.
Any doctor will admit that any drug can have side effects, and that writing a prescription involves weighing the potential benefits against the risks.
Humanity has at least a dim, and growing, cognisance of the effects of its presence on this planet. The possibility that we might integrate that awareness into how we interface with the Earth system is one that should give us hope.
As a child I experienced firsthand the severe effects of poverty and illiteracy, especially upon women and children. My parents taught me the importance of education and that it was a key to improving an individual’s life.
Even if national peculiarities in character and in laws occasion differences in the curve which the woman movement describes in the different countries, yet everywhere the movement has had the same causes, must follow the same main direction, and – sooner or later – must have the same effects.
CGI is done after the film is done. It’s through the computer. Most of the film is not computer-generated special effects. Most of it is that creature that is in the room with you.
That’s how a nation’s manners are going to be taught – from watching others’ behavior and learning from the effects of that behavior.
I’ve huge responsibilities in this job. The biggest is to keep everyone safe. Like many others, I’ve seen the effects of crime close up, and I worry about my kids.
It’s a fallacy, long rebuffed by science, that humans use only about 10% of their brainpower. But it is true about most summer movies. Pouring their wizardry into special effects and well-choreographed fights, warm-weather action films rarely challenge the viewer with grand notions or beautifully baffling imagery.
I’ve done some effects shots. I’ve done some compositing. And in ‘Just Like Heaven’ did a lot of, like, motion control and things like that. But never done, like, computer-generated imagery in action.
‘FlashForward’ is definitely not a sci-fi show. It doesn’t have the mythology of ‘Lost.’ We have one major event that happens that you are asked to buy into. After that, you’re dealing with very human ripple effects – how people deal with it and how they come to terms with it.
