Some Auto-Tuning is almost unavoidable. Most contemporary music is composed on Pro Tools, a program that lets musicians and engineers record into a computer and map out songs on a visual grid. You can cut at one point on the grid and paste at another, just as in word-processing, but making sure the cuts match up requires the even pitch that Auto-Tune provides. "It usually ends up just like plastic surgery," says a Grammy-winning recording engineer. "You haul out Auto-Tune to make one thing better, but then it's very hard to resist the temptation...
...plane stayed in the sky for only a few minutes; no one is quite sure what went wrong. The best guess is that Peterson flew directly into the blizzard, lost visual reference and accidentally flew down instead of up. The four-passenger plane plowed into a nearby cornfield at over 170 mph, flipping over on itself and tossing the passengers into the air. Their bodies landed yards away from the wreckage and stayed there for ten hours as snowdrifts formed around them. Because of the weather, nobody could reach the crash site until the morning...
...noticed and said, 'Hey, you're praying for death.' It really jolted me. I thought, 'My God, I'm as bad as Neal.' Then I realized, No, I'm actually much worse than Neal. He was invited to the crime scenes; people called him to come and clean the visual remains of a loved one they had lost. As a writer, I was just turning up very voyeuristically and recording these things. I was disturbed by my own thoughtlessness...
...provide more detail of plot and dialogue, but the visual palette was way too dark for me to take legible notes, and frankly, though I saw it at a midnight screening hours ago, the movie just wasn't that memorable. Suffice to say that there's much bounding about by furry, blurry CGI werewolves, quite a few decapitations and a poignant but nifty crisping of one of the vampires when exposed to sunlight. Being set in an earlier day (night), Lycans renounces the whizzing Matrix-like bullets of the first two movies for swords and a heavy-metal...
...direction of Barry A. Shafrin ’09. While the choreography could have been executed more gracefully, the staging was creative and particularly enjoyable in “The Bells of St. Sebastian,” where candles carried by singers in tightly rehearsed blocking formations added visual appeal to the song. The cast moved on a large, white double staircase that, despite its ambitious design, ultimately detracted from the show by revealing stagehands and by providing unstable terrain for the stiletto-clad female cast members. Lighting was also often complicated and distracting, but the performance of the cast...
