INK

I recently watched the independent Sci-fi movie titled, "INK"


It was really cool, it was full of effects and interesting CGI, and it had a good story as well.
At first it was a little confusing with all the artistic effects they were employing, but after I got used to the rhythm of the film, I fell in love with it.
It also was filmed in Denver, CO which is where I'm from, and I actually met the director a few years ago, so It was cool to watch for that reason as well.

These are the kind of uses and computer effects I am interested in when it comes to film. How they used their effects worked very well. They had drawers that had been just smashed over someone's head fixing themselves in mid-air, and color filters that I have never seen before. It was a cool movie, and I highly recommended it.

Scripting

This is the scripting tutorial I have been trying to complete and get to work over the last week. I can get to the point where I have names my program and put what it will say inside, but I can't get it to show upon my desktop. I have been searching for some others- I already have learned how to run a pygame on my computer and play it through terminal

The scripting I have done for that (for pyspaceinvaders) is as follows:

import os
os.chdir('/pyspaceinvaders')
import pyspaceinvaders

(this is after you have successfully downloaded pygame and pyspaceinvaders to your computer)
It's actually really simple compared to what I thought this would be like before.

I am continuing to look for other interesting scripts- I'm trying to find one that will show me how to write a game!

Terminal bash Commands tutorial

For my first terminal bash commands tutorial, I watched both:

and

I tried multiple times to watch the ASCII art Star wars on my computer, but each time it said the connection timed out... I will keep trying, however I got all of the other commands to work!
