Ken Burns Effect
May. 5th, 2005 02:03 pmI just found out that you can mix still images with video clips in iMovie, so I made a little film of last week's Paris trip doing just that. For some reason iMovie does a five second zoom on each photo. Apple calls this the "Ken Burns Effect". Seriously. I suppose we should be thankful they don't force you to add a John Williams score.

Date: 2005-05-06 04:41 pm (UTC)"On the shores across the way, the perpetual transformation of the barbarous esthetic of the mass-produced American car, the provocative excess of its body, of its ornaments, manifest the permanence of the social revolution (progress toward the "American way of life"). But at the same time, this great automobile body has been emasculated, its road holding is defective and its powerful motor is bridled. Just as for the laws on speed limits, we are talking about acts of government, in other words of the political control of the highway, aiming precisely at limiting the "extraordinary power of assult" that motorization of the masses creates..."
"...But no one yet suspected that the "conquest of the freedom to come and go" so dear...could, by a sleight of hand, become an obligation to mobility."
"...Speed is the hope of the West; it is speed that supports the armies' morale. What "makes war convenient" is transportation, and the armored car, able to go over every kind of terrain, erases the obstacles. With it, earth no longer exists. Rather than calling it an "all-terrain" vehicle, they should call it "sans-terrain"..."
