A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

The latest Star Wars film has come and gone. As far as I am concerned, it was just a poor revamp of previous episodes; someone lost in the desert, an orphan with no friends, an alien bar and a resulting fight, a death star. Nothing new there then, heck, the X-wings weren't even updated!

The three components of the opening sequence: the phrase "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....", the Star Wars logo and the opening crawl, from the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

But what if they changed the opening to be more like a Bond film? Would it lose it's cachet?

The video below is an awesome interpretation of what that may have looked like if they had done it for The Empire Strikes Back.

A Peak Behind the Photographic Curtain

How do they do it? Its just a photo after all. It can't take them too long can it? Well, apparently, yes it can.

Yosef Adest is an up and coming photographer and cinematographer - I'd go so far as to call him a very talented, high level 'visualist', but then again, that's just me.

Here is one of the most gripping and entertaining photos I have seen in a long time. And below it is the background of how he made the shot, in a 5 minute time lapse.

The Harlem Shake

So whats all the fuss about? Quite simply, The Harlem Shake viral videos. 


Easy to do, easier to share and be seen.

Step 1: Dance a little in front of a camera to the music of "Harlem Shake", in helmet or mask whilst others around you carry on their normal day.

Step 2: At 15 seconds - everyone starts dancing to the music.
The total clip should take 30 seconds.

Simple? Lets see a few different takes on the idea;



A great example. If you have 250+ friends around - go at it!
