The potential of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technology as a tool for large-scale GHG emissions reductions and the role of intergovernmental organizations in crafting strategies for the financing and implementation of CCS-inclusive facilities. Taylor Blevin, Washington University in St. Louis Despite much advancement in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies, only one large-scale CCS facility is currently being operated worldwide, and only a few are being planned for the

in relation to the new forms of production, the cost is a factor of how digital is influential in traditional big budget filmmaking like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Following the capture of the actor’s movements digital animation is required to complete the transformation to an ape. While the cost of motion capture itself is relatively high as it is a newer technology the cost of the animation is now comparably cheap to when it was first introduced. Evidence of this can be seen in the technologies

they walk, is designed to extract gait features without the need to use markers or special sensors to aid the extraction process. In fact, all that is required is an ordinary video camera linked to a special vision-based software. Marker-less motion capture systems are suited for applications where mounting sensors or markers on the subject is not an option as the case of forensic analysis. Typically, gait biometric system consists of two main components: i) a hardware platform dedicated for data acquisition

The incredible complexity of Gollum is evident to anyone who watches the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Although he is a CGI character, he offers great emotional depth. There is never any doubt that he is just as real and important as the movies’ non CGI characters. Clearly, animators painstakingly created Gollum to achieve this realism; however, what audiences are less aware of, myself included, is the extremes that Andy Serkis, the actor behind Gollum, went to in order to create him. Now, Serkis is

There are many lines in movies that capture our hearts. Mark in “Love Actually” does not even have to speak as he stands outside the door with a sign that reads “to me you are perfect” or a number of lines from the great romantic classic Casablanca such as; “We will always have Paris”, stating that they can both hold on to the amazing time that they spent together in the past. The visual effects of movies such as Anna Karina and Water for Elephants, captures the hearts of the viewers with not only

the only high point in an otherwise flat area, and is located so as to protect the industrial centre of Lille and the coal mines of Lens. Though the location was strategically important, the capture of Vimy Ridge would inevitably not have much impact on the outcome of the First World War. The Canadian capture of the ridge did weaken the German position and forced the Germans to reassess their defensive methods in the area north of Arras, but all the British, French, and Canadian troops lost momentum

The process of imprisoning the animals begins when the aquarium hires private contractors to capture young animals from the wild. One of SeaWorld’s most well-known attractions, Shamu, was captured in this way by Ted Griffin. Griffin recalls that in order to capture the whales, his team would use explosives to force them into coves, where they would net the entire pod, which would often result in the drowning of 3-5 whales every trip (Blackfish). In order to cover up the killings, the team would then

from Johannson (1973) use of light bulbs attached to the bodies of assistants and then filmed in a dark room, which created more naturalistic portrayals of BM, to more recent methods, employing motion capture software in animation (Vanrie & Verfaille, 2004). Advantages to the use of motion capture and three-dimensional animation software include the ability to show the same PLD from multiple viewpoints changing the orientation. Whether or not BM appears to be intrinsic has provided a variety of

Advances in Animation and Their Effects on Modern Cinema Animation has been a huge contributor to today’s media when it comes to movies and televisions programing. For decades, using a series of images to create the illusion of movement, has evolved into billion dollar industries for entertainment. Animated movies are in a completely different league of their own and, no matter how simple they may seem, require a sufficient amount of technique as well as technology. Even live action movies

The Capture of Fort Fisher Primary documents such as diaries and journals have a vast importance to historians. First-hand accounts are praised in the historian community due to the accuracy, inaccuracy, or even the hyperbole that are found in these wonderful documents. Lamentably some primary documents are factual and some are incorrect or different. For example, a report from a major general from the union may be different from a major general from the confederates. The challenge of trying
