![]() Only the new black and white checked and patterned 2021 notebooks that are new to the catalog remain. The Denim collection, especially those with the writing on the covers (Hand Wash, This is Yours, etc) were fabulous, and in general this collection was well designed and executed. Nobody makes fabric covers as well as Moleskine does (sorry Baron Fig), and some of my favourites were in this collection. ![]() Most of the Moleskine Blend notebook collection is being gutted, which is also a sore loss.Moleskine seem to be replacing them with the Classic Notebooks Double Layout (more on that below), but the paper is 70gsm and not the 100gsm of the Two-Go notebooks. The size, the paper and the blank/lined ruling were perfect for this use, and I am going to sorely miss them. I’ve stocked up on as many as I can justify, as I use them as my reading journals. Moleskine Two-Go notebooks, which were my favourite new addition to their lineup are being completely phased out by the look of things.I’ll wager that these colours are going to be completely phased out by the Spring 2022 catalog. If you like these colours, especially in Plain ruling and in Pocket or X-Large sizes, now is the time to get them. Earth Brown and Reef Blue look like they are also being gradually phased out, likely to make room for next year’s spring colours. For some reason they’ll still be available in Myrtle Green in these sizes. Dotted and Squared rulings are being discontinued in the Scarlet Red and Sapphire Blue Pocket and X-Large notebooks in both hard cover and soft cover.I really wish that they wouldn’t have discontinued these, as they were some of my favourite notebooks from their lineup. As I used to use a Plain Pocket Reporter as a PigPog PDA and every few years I return to it, I’ve stocked up on a few for future use. This is your last chance to get it if you use it. The Squared ruling is long gone and now the Plain option is disappearing from most dealers. The Classic Reporter notebook, already available only in Pocket is now going to be available only in the Ruled option, both in hard cover and soft cover options.So here are the main discontinued notebooks, in order of their (dis)appearance in the catalog: So this is going to be mostly a “stock up on these if you like them” review of the catalog, not so much a “look at these cool new things from Moleskine,” mainly because most of the cool new things were published earlier in the year. A few days ago I found Moleskine’s Winter 2021 Catalog, and was dismayed to discover that many of my favourite notebooks are discontinued (“while supplies last”).

![]() If you are a filmmaker, cinematographer, or just an avid moviegoer, then you have definitely seen a pan shot before. It also has less potential to induce motion sickness than other types of camera movement because it’s slower and doesn’t have any sharp turns or jumps. This type of shot allows for an audience to take in their surroundings and get more context on where they are. One of the first times this technique was used on film was in “Metropolis” by Fritz Lang which premiered in 1927.Ī panning shot can be a very powerful visual tool, but what is the point of using one in your production? Have you ever been watching a movie and saw that the camera was moving really fast? That’s called a whip pan.Ī whip pan, also known as a swish pan or a sweeping pan, is an in-camera effect that moves the frame from one part of the screen to another by rapidly moving the camera. ![]() It’s a fantastic tool to create tension and suspense in your movie or to show off beautiful scenery without showing the viewer any motion sickness. 2, where we see a woman walking down a hallway with her back to us. The art of the whip pan is an invaluable filmmaking technique that can add a dynamic sense of movement and excitement to your film.Ī great example of this can be seen at 1:08 in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. There’s no right or wrong answer as to when this is appropriate, but it can be helpful for beginners to know when they should use this technique. Panning can also be useful if you are showing the beauty of a landscape but don’t want viewers’ attention drawn away from that scenery by having them watch people walking into frame.Įvery once in a while, you’ll come across a video where the camera pans instead of staying still. The best time to use this technique would be when you want to show your audience how large something is or when you’re trying to depict someone’s journey through space and time. This movement creates an illusion of depth, motion, or flow. In documentary filmmaking, this type of shot is often used when interviewing people who have experienced trauma or loss because it helps viewers understand what these individuals went through by showing how they were impacted by those events.Ĭamera panning is a technique used in filmmaking and photography where the camera moves horizontally from left to right or vice versa. This creates intimacy between the character and audience which can make them more vulnerable or sympathetic. The most common use for this technique is to transition from one location to another it’s also frequently employed at the beginning of movies and TV shows to establish setting or mood. It can be used to elevate tension in an otherwise low-energy scene or give viewers a sense of movement through a space. ![]() The term “panning” refers to the movement of the camera in a horizontal direction on its axis, while other terms such as dollying or tracking refer to different ways for moving forward and backward on an axis.Īn overhead, circling shot that tracks the action on the screen. This creates a sense of smooth motion that immerses viewers in what they are watching It is an important technique that filmmakers use to move the camera from one side of an area to another. However, there are times when using a tripod is necessary for shooting time-lapse videos or motion control photography sequences – like slow camera panning shots that require precision movement over a long period of time. Many filmmakers have made use of this technique for decades Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope (1948), Orson Welles’ Touch Of Evil (1958) and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws are all famous examples.Ĭamera panning has become less popular over time with handheld shots becoming more common because they provide greater flexibility. The first time this technique was utilized was during the silent era when directors needed to convey more information without dialogue, sound effects, or musical accompaniment. Panning has many uses in filmmaking including transitioning between scenes, providing a sense of motion, and suggesting dynamism within shots by juxtaposing varying elements such as characters or objects. The use of this technique can create an illusion of depth and movement in what would otherwise be a static scene. The term “pan” comes from the motion of a physical camera, such as that on a tripod. A camera pan is a cinematic technique in which the camera moves horizontally from one subject to another. ![]() With this build, it's a good idea to use a defensive Tera type in order to counter potential supereffective hits. As such, this can easily become the strongest move in the game that then also gets STAB bonus to its damage.īecause Annihilape is so naturally bulky, players can use several different strategies with it, with a popular one being using Maushold with Beat Up into this Pokemon to have a 250 base power Rage Fist on turn one. Among Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's best Ghost-type moves is in fact Rage Fist, which normally has a base power of 50, but this can be increased by another 50 every time Annihilape is hit or hits itself when confused. This is far from the only viable build for Annihilape in competitive battles, and another great set is about using Leftovers and moves like Drain Punch to stay alive in longer fights, only for the Pokemon to then unleash its signature move. Normally, the former would ensure that the Pokemon sacrifices itself and doesn't score a kill, whereas the latter puts it to sleep and can be equally problematic, but Grass-type Pokemon are inherently immune to powder-like effects. Some players also like to use this iteration of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Annihilape with a Grass Tera type, as it becomes immune to Amoonguss' Rage Powder or Spore. ![]() This is where the Choice Scarf comes into play, as it ensures that Annihilape acts first outside of priority moves, meaning that it gets to attack with its HP full. This is more than enough to one-shot any Pokemon in the format with a few notable exceptions, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Amoonguss. Final Gambit is a move that faints the user and inflicts damage equal to its user's remaining HP, which at level 50 and with full EVs and IVs equals 217 in the case of Annihilape. One of the most popular strategies that players are currently employing for Annihilape revolves around its incredibly high base HP, the move Final Gambit, and the Choice Scarf. RELATED: Tyranitar's Treatment in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Makes it a Strange Case Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Final Gambit Annihilape Set Explained Even though Annihilape's versatility is not best served with the current format of open teams, which means that players have to reveal everything about their pocket monsters except their stats, this creature remains among the very best Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It can also hit seven types out of eighteen for supereffective damage, making it quite a potent adversary to come up against and especially so in competitive battles. Gen 9 can count the cross-gen evolution of Primeape, Annihilape, among the very best critters it has to offer, and this is because of how versatile this new pocket monster can be.Īnnihilape is the second Pokemon to ever be graced with the Ghost and Fighting type combination, which makes it weak to four types, resistant to three, and immune to two. Many of the new Gen 9 Pokemon have ideal base stat distributions, with a few points in their least preferred attack stat and many in their favorite one, such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Flutter Mane, whose Special Attack sits at 135 while its Attack is just 55. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet stand out as one of the best generations in the franchise in terms of the quality of new Pokemon, even though some might argue that the power creep levels of Gen 8's Zacian were reached and maybe surpassed once again. ![]() When controlling the movement of the bone pathway in the dragonbones, the skeleton is normally in accordance with the normal dynamics, that is, the parent bone is adjusted, and the child bone is affected. ![]() Of course, the real world also exists in the reverse case, for example, into a punch you, you use a small arm to block, the small arm force movement at the same time will also drive the big arm together to do the force movement, called Reverse dynamics. It is important to note that Dragonbones only normal mode provides the function of animation fusion, the speed mode is not to provide this function.įorward Dynamics (FK) and Inverse Dynamics (IK): in skeletal animation, generally speaking, the child skeleton's movement is affected by the parent bone, such as the big arm rotation, the small arm will also follow the rotation, which is called positive dynamics, that is, the father affects the child. The function of animation fusion is to achieve these two requirements by setting weights for different animations and adding animated masks to different bone paths. The 2nd is the need for a character to be shot at the same time as running, the body back, that is, the simultaneous insertion of running and shot animation. The 1th kind of character animation is more complex, may need to do the upper body and lower body animation design, and then can be any combination. This feature is typically used in two situations. The Dragonbones provides a transition effect when animated motion faces are toggled, so that a smooth transition can be generated automatically as long as a transition time is set.Īnimation Fusion: Dynamic Surface Fusion provides the ability for a character to play multiple animations simultaneously. Nonlinear tweens are represented by various curves, and Bezier curves are used by default in Dragonbones to represent nonlinear tweens.Īnimation transitions: An animated transition is a transition effect that occurs when you switch from one animation to another one by one animations. A linear tween means that the components on the tween are transformed at a constant speed (pan, rotate, scale). Animation tweens can be linear or non-linear. So the interface for importing resources provided by default is dragonbones with a texture set.Īnimation Tween: The general designer in the skeletal animation, do not need to be in every frame for the role of the action, but only in some key places (keyframes) to play the key action, the key actions are all generated by the program tween Replace, this is the animation tween. Texture set: A texture set is a large image that is packaged into a picture to facilitate the integration of resources and load in the game, using a hardware acceleration engine or egret Runtime, the texture set can greatly improve rendering efficiency. Picture (texture): image is the element that displays the image, in 2D skeleton system, the meaning of picture and texture is not very different, so it can also be called texture. The slots link to the skeleton this animated logical unit and picture this animated display unit, which makes up the skeleton-slot-picture, the basic skeleton structure in the dragonbones skeleton animation. Each bone lattice can contain multiple slots. Each slot can contain multiple pictures, but only one picture is displayed at a time. Slots: slots are containers for displaying pictures in bone animation and are part of bones. In general, in the case of the default forward dynamics, the parent Skeleton games drive the child bones to move together, for example, a character lifts a large arm, and the small arm, as the arm of the child skeleton, will also be lifted. In addition, there can be parent-child relationships between bones. The bone itself cannot be disassembled, and in the skeleton it can be translated, rotated, scaled, and moving, forming a bone-lattice animation. ![]() The Dragonbones also represents a role that can contain animations.īone (bone): bone or bone bone is the most important basic unit of skeleton in the skeletal movement network. Skeleton: skeleton armature, is the most commonly used noun in 2D skeletal animation, generally refers to a lot of bones composed of a whole. Common terminology in dragonbones 2D skeletal animation The following is a general introduction of dragonbones terminology and use of the method. How to create more vivid animations with less art costs?

Maybe I’m paranoid, but I’ve never liked that wireless charging can make my iPhone too warm. To be honest, I don’t use it-but then, I don’t do any wireless charging for my iPhone. It will (wirelessly) charge any device with the standard protocol (just about any smartphone today). Then there is the wireless charger that sits on the Togo’s flat top. The USB and DC ports have soft rubber flaps that also want to close, but they don’t get in the way as much. It can be a bit of a pain because it keeps wanting to close while you’re trying to plug something in one-handed. The AC outlet is covered by a hard plastic flap that springs shut when not in use. Note that in order for any of the Advance330’s outlets to work, both the particular outlet and the red master on/off button must be on.Īll the ports are on the front of the Advance330 and are covered for improved water resistance. It features all the usual stuff you see on a power station of this size plus a couple of cool features. Togo has not gone out of its way to make it pretty, but it does look functional-because it is. The Togo Advance330 Portable Power station looks like a power station. Dimensions: 9 in x 6.6 in x 7 in (LxWxH).So a 1000-watt hour battery will cost … $1,000. Power stations (do not call them generators!) cost about $1 per watt-hour. The math is simple: If a product requires 10 watts, it will run for 28 hours on a full charge (depending on many factors). The Togo Advance330 is a small, portable battery-powered station that is useful for camping, travel, backyard, room-to-room charging, or power during a blackout. Meanwhile, an economy of automobiles was born: Businesses like service stations and motels sprang up to meet drivers’ needs-as did the burgeoning oil industry. Low prices (the Ford Model T cost just $260 in 1924) and generous credit made cars affordable luxuries at the beginning of the decade by the end, they were practically necessities.īy 1929 there was one car on the road for every five Americans. People also swarmed to see Hollywood movies: Historians estimate that, by the end of the decades, three-quarters of the American population visited a movie theater every week, and actors like Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino and Tallulah Bankhead became household names.īut the most important consumer product of the 1920s was the automobile. By the end of the 1920s, there were radios in more than 12 million households. Harding became the first president to address the nation by radio-and three years later there were more than 500 stations in the nation. The first commercial radio station in the United States, Pittsburgh’s KDKA, hit the airwaves in 1920. Fashion, Fads and Film Starsĭuring the 1920s, many Americans had extra money to spend-and spend it they did, on movies, fashion and consumer goods such as ready-to-wear clothing and home appliances like electric refrigerators. Rumor had it that the Yale Club in New York City had a 14-year supply of booze in its basement. And with this electrification came new machines and technologies like the washing machine, the freezer and the vacuum cleaner eliminated some of the drudgeries of household work.ĭid you know? Because the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act did not make it illegal to drink alcohol, only to manufacture and sell it, many people stockpiled liquor before the ban went into effect. In 1912, an estimated 16 percent of American households had electricity by the mid-1920s, more than 60 percent did. The increased availability of birth-control devices such as the diaphragm made it possible for women to have fewer children. Millions of women worked in blue-collar jobs, as well as white-collar jobs (as stenographers, for example) and could afford to participate in the burgeoning consumer economy. ![]() They could vote at last: The 19th Amendment to the Constitution had guaranteed that right in 1920, though it would be decades before Black women in the South could fully exercise their right to vote without Jim Crow segregation laws. In reality, most young women in the 1920s did none of these things (though many did adopt a fashionable flapper wardrobe), but even those women who were not flappers gained some unprecedented freedoms. Perhaps the most familiar symbol of the “Roaring Twenties” is probably the flapper: a young woman with bobbed hair and short skirts who drank, smoked and said “unladylike” things, in addition to being more sexually “free” than previous generations.
