Yes, I just noticed that. Moving it.

I've thought about that, but I don't see how Jesse could possibly find out, unless Walt rubbed it in his face. I think it's never meant to be more than a way at that time to show us what Walt was becoming.

Thank you Tom. smile No, I don't have the 60Da (and quite frankly I believe it to be a big rip off which will only sell with people who don't know much about astrophotography).

The 60D is actually quite good at managing noise, but post-processing also helped a lot.

I don't think his character was let down by the writers. In the past few seasons, he's mostly been a way to show us what Walt has become (I think the times I hate him the most is when he so obnoxiously lies to Jesse). But I really believe they have something great in store for him (as hinted last episode) and he'll have a good payoff.

You never know. Anyway: 30s, f/2.8, 1600 ISO. No filters.

A tripod and a camera (Canon EOS 60D). tongue

For the first two pictures, I used the Ultra Wide Angle lens I bought recently, a Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 lens. It's amazing.

I just want to say that Aaron Paul is an amazing actor (so are many actors in the show, granted). Jesse looks awfully empty in these last few episodes. Such dead eyes.

I'll never get tired of this one.

Frank Oz looks like Tobias Fünke in the last picture. That makes it wrong on many levels. big_smile

Yes, it's simply amazing what this school is capable of. Some former students have had the opportunity to work on big movies thanks to this. The Prometheus itself was designed by a guy from ArtFx. Makes you dream a bit.

One year, teams of four/five, sometimes six people. Freelance students (students who aren't part of a specific team) help the others. The school basically becomes a studio for the year for them.

The students within the team are everything in the production: directors, artists, etc. They schedule the whole production process for the year, usually shoot during autumn and spend the rest of the year editing and post-processing everything.

Year one focuses on making the students' culture and basic skills grow: photography, sculpture, art history, drawing, etc.

Year two's main course is 3D. I learned to use Maya and did some awesome projects. Some introduction to animation and After Effects too, a short movie (all practical, no VFX), and the usual (more photography, drawing and stuff).

In third year, you have to choose between three (soon four) specializations: VFX (as in compositing and stuff), 3D CGI, and animation. I chose VFX, that's what I'm in it for. smile During the last two years, students tend to specialize themselves even more: matte painters, compositing artists, etc.

All these films are presented in June to a jury composed of various people representing studios (we got MPC, Double Negative and stuff- mainly studios from the London area, or french).

And, yeah. The results are amazing. ArtFx is growing more popular every year. Last year, every single student was hired by a studio less than three weeks after the jury.

Interesting. I generally trust them as far as the casting goes (except for Daario; I don't like how they made him look in the show).
