  • Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany: Putting the special in special effects.* (x) 

    *Thanks to OB visual effects geniuses at Intelligent Creatures for making multiple Tatiana Maslanys possible!

    Having existed in the dark ages of time in which when things weren’t real on TV you could tell, because the lightbulb that made up the engine of, say, the space ship, was obviously a lightbulb; or the wires that made the magic happen were visible… Sometimes it’s a little freaky to me to realise how much of what I see on TV and movies is not physical props and make up but instead entirely computer generated.

    It is pretty damn incredible.

  • It is raining

    This is something I became aware of in rather too much detail, largely because at the point when it started raining I was lying outside under the car with the exhaust in that perilous half-on-half-off state which meant I couldn’t easily remove it, nor put it back without finishing the job.

    Still, now we have a bodged on half-assed-potentially ass-backwards exhaust that should last maybe a couple of hundred miles. If we’re lucky.
