Optical Illusions & Magic

Remember the sinister bounty hunter in the closed helmet from the Star Wars trilogy? He wears body armor and packs more firepower than a Death Star stormtrooper squad. He speaks a grand total of four lines in three movies and dies ignominiously.

Boba Fett is the unknowable Star Wars character — we learn nothing about his past, we never see his face, he spends minutes on screen, his voice and bearing are as cold and abrasive as the underside of a glacier — yet he delivers mythic presence.

Recent Interview with Fenriz from Darkthrone , Here is a small excerpt:

started hiking FOR REAL in 96, thanks to another freak (thanks Mekki) who gave me a map over half the forest around oslo. i still hike on a weekly basis, that means daily trips. i also got into forest preservation shit the last years, you can say i’m quite into the scene here. i do something called the KJENTMANNSPOST, y’all can look in up in GOOGLE.

CAMPING:
backpack weighs 20 kilos. usually i have to walk 1.5 - 2 hours with that backpack to find camp. i use A MIX of some classic personal fave spots and finding new ones(this year i expect to camp at ten familiar spots and hopefully up to 15 new ones). the forests around Oslo (Norway’s capitol city) are 1600 km2 large, so it’s enough to last for a lifetime. a man should have his own tent. but it is easy for me to say, the nature here up north is EXTREMELY camping friendly, not many dangerous animals or insects. 2 nights ago i woke up in the middle of the night to big birds mating games, that is some of the wildlife, but i am there for the ATTITUDE of it, to GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE and to drink beer and listen to music in the nature too. last year i had 23 trips, this year so far 4 trips (season starts in mid-april, lasts till september-october) (the date now is 3rd of May). it is weather related, like all outdoor interests.

it is a complete lifestyle, equipment, clothing, weather reports, orientation, maps, map reading skills, collective travel skills (i don’t use a car) etc. but it’s not a very expensive lifestyle.

The Greatest Long Tracking Shots in Cinema.

In a director’s cinematic bag of tricks the long tracking shot is the boldest way of making a statement. It’s the flashiest and most attention-grabbing egotistical way of flexing one’s muscle. In most cases its a narcissistic maneuver, “look-at-me” filming technique, but rare ones, the best ones, serve to reflect and further the story in a way that can’t be reflected with traditional editing.

Let’s examine specifically the long ‘tracking’ take which involves extensive and complicated movements of the camera. The fact is filmmakers have been doing long takes since the medium was invented. In fact the first films didn’t have any edits. Perhaps the first most notable film to use long unedited takes for storytelling purposes was Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rope” 1948 which was an entire film shot in real time created by seamless cutting together a series of long 8-10 mins shots made to look like one. In 1948 it was a bold and unprecedented experiment for Hitchcock. The film works because its takes place entirely in one room for 80 minutes, so there was limited movement and lighting changes.
