"Mr. Granople! How are you settling in? I remember my first week on the job. Can't believe it's already been 3 weeks now! Crazy right? Be careful not to overwork yourself too quickly! It's the holiday season after all!" chortled a rather talkative, yet friendly colleague named Jim. Granople had a hollowed out face that thoroughly suggested death, and iced hands to match. He shook Jim's hand, "I was made for this." He retorted. Jim, now feeling as if he just greeted a corpse, is struggling to…

DAANIKA: STEVE MADDEN (BLACK LEATHER CHELSEA BOOTS). Maybe it is the matte finish, the gore elastic inset at the sides, the 2 ¼ inch heel height and 1 ½ inch platform, or their overall aesthetics that made me want them so badly. I waited months for them to be back in stock and intentionally saved a portion of my paycheck from my summer job so I could afford them. Finally, I got the email notification with the subject headline: “Heads up. Your Steve Madden item, just came back in stock!” I…

We live in a different world. And believe what I tell you, or you might become a Helot, too. I’m sure if you’re reading this, you have a home. And you have windows. You might even have your own room, with your own closet, your own bed, your own everything. Well, sorry to rain on your parade, but things are changing. In fact, things already have changed. It’s a good thing they’ve gotten rid of your rights. They’ve trashed your possessions. They’ve thrown away your privacy. You should be thanking…

The contrast between George Segal’s “Blue Woman in Black Chair” and Tom Claassen’s “Untitled (Large Man) is evident as soon as you see both of them in the same room together. George Segal’s sculpture, which he made in 1981, depicts an older, blue colored woman sitting in a chair and staring at the floor. The sculpture Tom Clause made in 1999 appears to be a large, inflated man sitting with his back against the wall and looking down at his lap. Both sculptures are humanoid, but they are so…

Rather than the straight lines, faux wood, and chrome finishes of 1980’s vehicles, the designs today include matte finishes and soft, curved lines. These modern, futuristic styles are directly related to the requests of buyers and the ever changing style of the time period. Car buyers today are not looking for the most flashy car, but rather the common person wants…

Batman escapes the policeman was significant as he escaped in the dark, the low key lighting played a big part to his escape as he demises himself in the dark. The theme of the movie was dark as Batman was dubbed “the dark knight” and wore a complete matte black costume. Another example of low key lighting is when a character who was once (Harvey Dent) a hero gets half of his face burned off the audience get to see a theme were that character is in a dark place hosting one of the police…

Kevin Tod Haug, the client VFX Supervisor, contacted Cinesite Montreal initially in (do we know the month?) to talk about ‘out of this world’ environments and ‘epic’ set extensions for Mrs Fadil’s afterlife sequence which was going to be imminently filmed in Toronto and in Oklahoma. Very quickly, we also got involved in the look development of the storm, which is a character in itself, alongside other sequences. In total, we worked on 18 different sequences split over 5 episodes (1, 2, 3, 4 and…

You Are Somewhere Here is a print that was completed in 2006 by Ken Fandell and Kaytie Johnson. This piece is located within the Peeler Art and was graciously donated to DePauw University by the artists. This piece can be described as eye catching due to its immense size and obvious contrast. The message behind the art and the statements it makes is very appealing both aesthetically and intellectually, as well. You Are Somewhere Here is first recognizable due to its vast surface area and color…

There’s a field on my parent’s ranch that has two pairs of my sunglasses, a purple mitten lost on a sledding excursion, blood from scraped knuckles, a plethora of cuss words spat in utter frustration, and a few salty tears shed grudgingly. It’s hard to explain hating an inanimate object. I would sound crazy if I said “Dad, I hate that field below the shop,” even though I’m sure he’s read that exact statement written on my face a thousand times. Nature is unforgiving -- heartless even. It has the…
