20 Beautiful Video Motion Pieces | Inspiration Advertisement A show reel is the motion picture equivalent of an artist’s portfolio. It is typically used as a tool to promote an artist’s skill, talent and experience in a selected field, such as acting, directing, cinematography, editing, special effects, animation, video games or another graphic-related field. It is conventional in the film industry to have one, and it is the main tool by which an artist promotes her or his own work. In this episode of our inspiration series, we present 20 examples of beautiful motions pieces: stop-motion, experiments, show reels, demos, paintings and more.

The best documentaries of 2010 - Roger Ebert's Journal Documentaries became a box office factor with the rise of such films as "Hoop Dreams" and "Roger & Me." Before then, there were hit music documentaries like "Woodstock" but most other nonfiction films could expect short runs in few theaters before dutiful audiences. What a small but growing minority of Friday night moviegoers is beginning to discover is that there's a good chance the movie they might enjoy most at the multiplex is a doc. In alphabetical order, these were the best documentaries I saw in 2010: "45365" is the zip code of Sidney, Ohio. The film is privileged. Sidney has what can only be described as a great radio station. "A Small Act." The film shows Mburu seeking the Swedish woman "who made my life possible." She is flown to Kenya, serenaded by the choir from Mburu's village, feasted, thanked, gowned in traditional robes. "Art of the Steal." "Best Worst Movie." He made the movie 20 years ago when he was living in Utah. "Collapse." He recites facts I knew, vaguely.

Recession and recovery Full print version, including charts and tables ( Following six consecutive quarters of negative growth, the UK economy finally moved out of recession in the last quarter of 2009. The economy had moved into technical recession in the third quarter of 2008 as GDP fell for a second successive quarter.. At the height of the recession, GDP fell by 2.6% in a single quarter (Q1 2009) – the same percentage by which the economy expanded during the whole of 2007. The recession was the ‘deepest’ recession (in terms of lost output) in the UK since quarterly data were first published in 1955. Actual growth in 2009 saw the sharpest fall in GDP (-5.0%) in a calendar year since official figures began in 1949 and the highest fall since 1931, excluding the recession following the Second World War. A global downturn The downturn in economic activity was felt across the world, with many countries, including all G7 economies, falling into recession during 2008. Could the UK return to recession?

Designer says plus-size models are 'a joke' - News - Fashion - The Independent In remarks that will come as a disappointment to campaigners for diversity in fashion, the designer Julien Macdonald has dismissed the recent rise of plus-size models, insisting that "a catwalk model is a size six to eight". In an interview, the British designer, who is also a judge on the reality TV show Britain's Next Top Model, said of the competition: "This is a serious show. You can't have a plus-size girl winning – it makes it a joke." Macdonald's comments may be at odds with the general turnaround in fashion, but the Welsh designer knows how to generate helpful controversy: his spring/summer 2007 collection provoked animal rights groups who felt it relied too heavily on fur, and his search for the country's Next Top Model will no doubt get a boost in ratings. His remarks to Wales on Sunday come after a year which has seen several high-profile magazines electing to use plus-size models, as well as designers booking bigger models to appear in their catwalk shows.
