    has anyone seen this yet? interesting ~10m deep dive on how the matrix 's scene transitions were so effective:

    http://www.avclub.com/article/heres-why-matrix-moves-so-smoothly-254399

    https://youtu.be/j3xe1XY7akg

    In a new video essay, Patrick Willems examines the Wachowskis’ use of transitions over the course of The Matrix’s three acts, highlighting exactly why they’re so effective. For example, the entire first act can be broken down into eight scenes, half of which begin with Neo waking up. This repetition, combined with some well-placed music cues, gradually introduces the audience into the idea that there are two worlds: the fake, dreamlike world of the Matrix, and harsh, grim reality.

    The film’s second and third acts pick up the pace a bit until we’re knee-deep in a full-blown action movie. To accomplish this, the Wachowskis use what film theorist David Bordwell calls the hook—“an audiovisual texture linking an element from the end of one scene to one at the beginning of the next.” These smaller details aren’t necessarily things you’ll notice on your first or second watch, but they have a big effect on the way a movie flows and can mean the difference between a forgettable sci-fi thrill ride and a massively successful franchise.

    I'm paying a flat rate for hosting and there's plenty of headroom. At this point, it costs the same whether or not you lol a post.

    Wait But Why just released the long awaited article on Elon Musk's Neuralink.

    http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

    Amazing article as usual, but it will probably take over an hour to read. ^_^
