Hoffman, who taught a popular introductory earth science course at the Canadian university, is expected to teach a fall seminar with Professor of Biology Andrew H. Knoll. Hoffman will also be teaching a core course,Science A-37, "The Changing Surface of the Earth,"in spring...
...Grissom's lost space capsule still looks pretty good after almost 38 years in the drink, thanks to its titanium-aluminum construction. It sits upright on a sandy knoll three miles deep, its window and parachute liner still intact and its periscope still extended. The words "Liberty Bell 7" and a fake crack painted on its side are still clearly visible. Even the singe marks left by the explosives that blew off that infamous hatch door are visible on the video sent back by a remote-control submersible...
...showed them 3,500 storyboards for the new film. Battle scenes, racing scenes, parades--all with thousands of characters in each shot and all to be computer generated. "Crew members said, 'It's too many shots. How are we going to do this?'" recalls ILM visual-effects supervisor John Knoll. "It was kind of scary...
...most of the scenes were digitally created (the final Gungan battle) or enhanced (by extending the standing sets, built only 6 ft. or 7 ft. high, into palaces and Senate chambers). "A typical summer movie has maybe 2,000 shots, with, say, 250 effects shots," says Knoll. Titanic had about 500. "This one is backward. Of the 2,200 shots, only about 250 shots are not effects shots." There is just one sequence totally untouched by the digitalizers. Hint: watch for the vent...
...here may lie the most important reason why young style seekers are returning to the '50s to find good design. They don't know where to look for it among their peers. There are no Case Study house programs anymore. Companies like Herman Miller and Knoll no longer seek out promising young designers to show them how modern technologies can lead to a whole new era of design. The Case Study house program was a remarkable experiment, and it produced unprecedented, timeless houses. It did not, as its creators had hoped, bring about the use of prefabricated industrial materials...
