The History of Us by Pahnl
Monday, September 14th, 2015Went to The History of Us at the Herbert Gallery and Museum in Coventry yesterday. A 44m long timeline of history filled with tiny stencilled dinosaurs, people and other creatures. With 500 entries each with a short description and varying degrees of accuracy it took us a good hour and a half to make our […]
Vue Particle System Experiments
Friday, September 11th, 2015I’ve been playing with Vue’s particle systems ever since they were added in 2011. I’ve just added a page for one of the experiments – a simple test of the impact of the turbulence setting on an emitter that creates a vertical jet of black spheres.

Road Trip – New England and Eastern New York
Sunday, September 6th, 2015I’ve just added a PDF of “Road Trip – New England and Eastern New York” assembled from out of copyright images on the New York Library Digital Archive to my Trail of Cthulhu resources.

We kick off with an action sequence that has more to do […]

1920 New England Road Trip
Monday, August 24th, 2015I’ve just added The Ideal Road Trip a 1920 driving tour of New England to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page.

The Man from UNCLE Movie Review
Saturday, August 22nd, 2015The Man from UNCLE opens strong with a nice sequence set in Berlin – a bit Funeral in Berlin. It then strings together a series of well executed scenes mixing thriller and action to a climax. And then it tacks on a second climax. And then it tacks on a foundation story for UNCLE suggesting […]
