Did someone build the Moon? | Redux

Hope you’re all well!
I always been fascinated by the moon. If you perform just minor research of the moon, you’ll find many verified anomalies. For example – Only one side of the moon faces the Earth, throughout its rotation; The orbital distance of the moon from the Earth and Sun and its effects on eclipses; The Moon’s effects on Earth tides and the creation of life, just to name a few.
If you’re interested, there are many theories in books and posted on the Internet. I’ve listed a few that you could start with below. But be careful, there is alot of lunacy out there ! lol
The Moon is Not a Natural Planet by Alan Butler
Inexplicable Moon Anomalies Show There is Much Deception About Outer Space

Who Built the Moon? by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler
Le Voyage Dans la Lun (A Trip to the Moon) by Georges Méliès (1902)
Orphée (1950) – Aut. Jean Cocteau
from BFI
This magical retelling of the Orpheus myth turns the lyre-playing singer of Greek legend into a famous left-bank poet in postwar Paris. Fallen out of favour and lost for poetic inspiration, Orphée becomes obsessed with a mysterious black-clad princess who first claims the life of a rival poet, and then Eurydice, his wife. With its unforgettable imagery — the dissolving mirror through which characters pass into the next world, the leather-clad, death-dealing motorcyclists, and Cocteau’s magical special effects, Orphée is a work of haunting beauty that follows the poetic logic of a dream.
The Great Train Robbery (1903) | Dir. Edwin Porter
Filmed in November 1903 at Edison’s New York studio, at Essex County Park in New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad and released in December 1903, “The Great Train Robbery” is considered to be one of the first significant early US narrative films. Greatly influenced by the British film “Daring Daylight Robbery” (1903) it introduced many new cinematic techniques (cross cutting, double exposure, camera movement and location shooting) to American audiences. It was directed by Edwin S Porter and stars Justus D. Barnes as the head bandit, G. M. Anderson as a slain passenger and a robber, Walter Cameron as the sheriff.

Irish Film & TV Research Online | Trinity College Dublin
Irish Film & TV Research Online is a website designed to bring together the wide diversity of research material relating to Irish-made cinema and television as well as to Irish-themed audio-visual representations produced outside of Ireland. It incorporates three searchable databases: Irish Film & Television Index; Irish Film & Television Biographies; and Irish Film & Television Bibliography; and the Irish Postgraduate Film Research Seminar, an annual conference of film studies’ postgraduate students based in Ireland or engaged in researching Irish material elsewhere. The project is based in the School of Drama, Film and Music, Trinity College Dublin.
The impetus for the Irish Film & Television Index was Kevin Rockett’s The Irish Filmography: Fiction Films 1896 – 1996 (1996), which documented all fiction films made in Ireland and about Ireland and the Irish produced worldwide since the beginnings of cinema. Under the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences’ Major Grant Scheme, 2003-05, funding was awarded to update the original filmography and to document, with the same worldwide remit, all major non-fiction films, including newsreels, and animation, made for cinema and television. In addition to the IRCHSS, the other sponsors of the project are Trinity College Dublin; the Higher Education Authority’s North South Programme for Collaborative Research, 2003-06; and Bord Scannán na héireann/Irish Film Board, 2006.
Since 2003, filmographer and archivist Eugene Finn has been expanding the database which, incorporating the original Irish Filmography, has drawn on the archival and paper records of many of the world’s leading film archives and specialist libraries, including ones in Ireland, Britain, the USA, and Australia. We are especially grateful for the on-going support we receive from the Irish Film Institute’s archive and library. At present the Irish Film & Television Index has almost 40,000 titles, while new entries will be added in an on-going way.
The two complementary databases covering biographies and bibliography which are still in the early stages of development will be expanded over time. In addition, the ambition is to use the website as a publishing outlet for new research, as well as for out-of-print publications and archival documents, including, it is hoped, the extensive records of Ireland’s film censors.
While the website will need on-going editorial maintenance and development, its value for researchers, whether academic, from within the film industry, or the general public, is in its easy packaging of information concerning Irish-made or Irish-themed audio-visual material. In many cases, such information may have been gathered from numerous sources both within Ireland and elsewhere. Using the searchable fields, a researcher can almost instantly find a particular film, its cast list or production personnel, read a synopsis of its content, establish where a copy of it might be held, what has been written about it, identify a list of complementary titles through a keyword search, or, using the biographical database, access further information on cast and crew.
As a living archive, we would encourage feedback and invite online visitors to contribute to the development of the project by sending us information, additions and amendments.

He’s ok, we just can’t find him… | Missing 411 | David Paulides | redux
Commentary: For quite some time now, strange disappearances have been occurring within the National Parks of these United States and throughout the world. People, including small children, are becoming lost or are being abducted, some returned alive, some dead and many never returned. Where do these missing go?
Whatever the final outcome of these investigations be, it’s clear that the National Park System needs to create and maintain a centralized registry or database of persons who have gone missing in our national parks and forests or on Bureau of Land Management lands.

Three Point Lighting
Below is a short, introductory tutorial for the documentarian / filmmaker / photographer on three point lighting. Lighting a subject, is often an after thought by many inexperienced media makers but it is an essential element of any production that strives for professional look. It can also be effectively used to elicit a certain style or mood.
I’ve found the setup of studio lighting the most challenging element of media production. And there is a multitude of lighting hardware to choose from, even before you begin. That said with a bit of research, patience and practice, success will be yours.
Try practicing your setup, at home or if you have control of your filming environment, setup and adjust there, beforehand.
Another great source of ideas for lighting along with other media production topics is The Filmmaker’s Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for the Digital Age by Steven Ascher, Edward Pincus
Cruising through Dover, MA. on a Triumph Bonneville T120 – Part I
I had the pleasure of riding a Triumph Bonneville T120 for the past year. There’s nothing like the freedom it exudes. Sadly it’s gone but the memories remain.
Maybe you’ll get a kick out of it.
