...posits that the Earth's orbit around the sun and the planet's axial tilt wobble periodically, increasing or decreasing the amount of solar radiation hitting the planet's surface. "The sea-level high may be considered an exception to the 100,000-year cycle, in which high summer sunlight caused the ice sheets to melt," writes R. Lawrence Edwards, a geologist at the University of Minnesota, in a commentary on the Science paper...
Pascarelli first explained the techno-genius behind “The Diamond Guy Effect,” the studio’s name for the glitter effect applied to Edward when he steps into sunlight. Pascarelli showed a video clip of Edward (Robert Pattinson), wracked with teenage angst, unbuttoned shirt framing his subtly painted abs. Over the sounds of screaming, excited fans mooning over Edward at the shooting, Pascarelli addressed the audience—a motley crew of middle-aged women and nerdy computer science high school students: “We based the glittering of his skin...
...complicated scheme of virtual manipulations creates the glittery CGI effect that simulates sunlight reflecting off Edward’s body. In Pascarelli’s video, Edward has black “tracking” dots applied all over his exposed skin, which the visual effects team later translated into a virtual mesh model of his body. The crew then used the mesh model to make a virtual wax model with a full-body cyber scan of Robert Pattinson as a guide. With a software program, they applied virtual miniature mirrors over the model, and introduced virtual suns?...
...City of David, a cross between an archaeological site and a Jewish theme park that draws more than 400,000 tourists a year. Visitors are led through a honeycomb of caverns and excavations propped up by scaffolding. Then they wade through an underground canal that emerges into sunlight at the Siloam pool, where Christ is said to have cured the blind. Nearly half the visitors are Israeli army conscripts and schoolkids who hear lyrical description from Elad's guides about how the site is the very foundation of Jewish culture and history. "In fact," Elad's development director Speilman boasted...
...tapped by some renegade humans led by Elvis Cormac (Willem Dafoe) and his henchwoman Audrey (Claudia Karvan). In the spirit of modern sci-fi movie thrillers like Avatar and District 9, the insider goes outside to join forces with the aliens. Becoming human is a painful process - exposure to sunlight in brief, sharp blasts - but for Edward, it's a chance at redemption. Vampires live forever, but on other people's blood. Only by being mortal again can he truly live...
