Rush Trailer Everyone’s Driven by Something

clsadmin

Two-time Oscar winner Ron Howard takes the daunting task of covering the nearly decade-long rival between British Formula 1 racer James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austria’s Niki Lauda’s (Daniel Brühl) race to become world champions. From tracks in Italy to Japan, press rooms to extravagant parties, Hunt and Lauda risked death, fortune and fame in the 1970s and became international sensations in the process. With an undeniably effective immediacy, “Rush” is a solid, but rather cold, biopic about two equally detached personalities.

Rush has flown under the radar, delivering a visually exciting first preview seemingly out of nowhere.

Composer Hans Zimmer expectedly delivers a rousing singular theme that plays double-duty with solo cello highlighting the insular determination of both drivers before chug-a-lugging into full-on pounding race mode competing with squealing tires and booming PA announcements.

“Rush” is not the epic drama is could have been, but it is certainly watchable and mostly enjoyable, but like an impeccably crafted Formula 1 race car, is fast, glistening with style but ultimately just a cold piece of polished metal.

And yet there are so lovable alien form like this, which will make your day – and far on this side of each border region. To awaken the bull named 700-4 Lamborghini Aventador LP from St. Agatha to life, the driver is initially stopped to open a small red flap on the center tunnel.

But quite as explosive and difficult to follow the following on the press of a button dramaturgy is then but fortunately not represent the red fuse cover is just a metaphor – not an obstacle.

700 hp and top-class racing technology

This does not mean that the new, re-named after a brave Spanish bull from the Spanish Corrida Lamborghini would not do justice to his job on the whole. But let’s be honest: It will not be easy in everyday life, even beginning to discover the 700 hp driven and experienced made ​​of exceptionally high caliber racing technology sports talents. Thus love but could cool quickly if not for anything else, which can fuel the passion in less exciting times.

Whether the investment – in this case just under 330,000 euros – can be recorded as a worthwhile contribution to improving the quality of life, thus also depends on Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 from factors other than the ability to retrieve shoulder to shoulder with him the state of maximum efficiency . Including those in this Lambo is reached only at 350 km / h.

Everything has its price

When looking into the technology and equipped with all the luxury features pulpit of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, to be thermodynamically and aerodynamically necessary accessory around it and on the Aggregate collection, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 to achieve its ambitious required goals, one comes to the conclusion that the extra kilos are not entirely in vain incurred.

Light Painting Evolved

clsadmin

Gif animations included in this post. Add photoreal images, abstract designs, and animation to your long exposure photos and timelapse. Light painting is a fairly simple to do. The first step is to make sure you have the right equipment. Almost every DSLR, and most point-and-shoots, have a long exposure mode.

Pixelstick began as a proof of concept using an arduino and some off the shelf LED strips. We got results, but weren’t happy with the resolution of nor with the durability and usability of the actual device.

It’s as simple as choosing the length of the exposure (from a few seconds to a few hours) and moving a light source within the frame. The process itself is fun and the excitement of seeing what you captured immediately can be extremely rewarding.

The fine detail

Pixelstick reads images created in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) and displays them one line at a time, creating endless possibilities for abstract and/or photorealistic art. Taking this one step further, Pixelstick can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures, opening up light painting to the world of timelapse, and allowing for animations the likes of which have never before seen.

The Tale of pixelstick

Pixelstick began as a proof of concept using an arduino and some off the shelf LED strips. We got results, but weren’t happy with the resolution of nor with the durability and usability of the actual device. We moved quickly into custom LED circuit boards, a more powerful ARM microcontroller and a sturdier design made of lightweight aluminum rather than plastic tubing. With the ability to control the density of the LED count while at the same time refining the custom aluminum extrusion, the current version of pixelstick began to take shape.

Each iteration performed better and was tweaked as we logged more hours with the pixelstick.

The full package contains:

  • LED PCBs (198 LEDs total)
  • Two 3’ aluminum extrusion with connecting bracket & diffusion lens
  • Handle with foam grip and rotating sleeve
  • Controller box with connecting cables and clips
  • Battery holder (AA Batteries not included)
  • Carry bag
