Hitman of the future
Looper - trailer Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same guy in this time travel thriller. 22, 2012 For sci-fi and thriller fans who believe you can never get enough of Bruce Willis on the big screen, writer and director Rian Johnson has just the film. Looper, Johnson's exceptional time-travel tale, stars the veteran actor in one of his best roles, but the clincher for Willis admirers is there are two of him in the movie. Well, more accurately, Willis is at his menacing best as an aged killer, Old Joe, who returns from 30 years in the future and confronts his younger self, played with utter magnetism by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception).
GrafFurniture? Graffiti-Inspired Chair, Table & Mirror Ideas
Street graffiti has always been at the heart of conceptual controversy, alternatively praised as pure urban artistic expression and condemned as property-destroying vandalism. One way to test the aesthetic potential of graffiti forms, styles and and symbols is to take it off the streets and try applying it to an entirely different design discipline – such as the craft of creating contemporary furniture. The gold might create associations too strong for some critics to stomach, but there is something dynamic about the endless curves and twists of this graffiti-style mirror, the nearly-but-not-quite-there symmetry of the frame and the almost-baroque decor it recalls. Maybe, though, it was worth a try – at least as a contrasting deviation from the simple blacks, whites and clear glass of the other pieces in this furniture set by designer Luis Alicandu. Likewise, a graffiti-inspired coffee table seems somehow appropriate as an eye-catching experimental centerpiece to a room.

Those Aren't Mountains, It's an Aquarium!
What look like foggy landscapes from alien planets, or maybe even the moody landscapes in some Rococo era painting, are actually carefully planned images of aquariums. Artist Kim Keever takes fishtanks and using plaster and other materials crafts landscapes within. He then fills the tanks with water, sets up lighting and photographs his aquatic set while adding in powders which form clouds and fog. The results are stunningly surreal… and sometimes even very realistic. See Also Tragic Miniatures in the Wake of Destruction
Realistic Solo Orchestra Instruments with Keyswitch Articulations
Performers who play orchestral instruments often use multiple playing styles throughout a piece of music. Therefore, knowing when to switch articulations is important for computer composers who want to achieve a realistic sound. Fortunately, many orchestral VSTi have a feature that helps us do this, called keyswitching. Step 1: Pattern To demonstrate this, I'll be using the Viola Solo instrument from Kontakt 4, but this tutorial will apply to any orchestral plugin that supports keyswitching, though different plugins may use slightly different terms for articulations.
