Tracking Shot Lip Synch for Grace Kelly

If you've ever read Ussher's Annals of the World, or for that matter, the Holy Bible, you would understand why I love tracking shots.

I see all of creation, from the beginning of time to its inevitable end, as one complex and thrilling tracking shot. Whether it is the opening scene of A Touch of Evil or the one take fight scene from The Protector, good tracking shots make bold statements.

I love what the gang from TCU has done with Mika's Grace Kelly.

Asterisks Illuminate the Night

The asterisk* is the forefather of the hyperlink.

*From the Latin "asteriscum," meaning "little star" -- which happens to be a term which describes how I like to view myself** in God's kingdom. Keep in mind, I'm generally delusional.

**Which may also explain my fondness*** for asterisks.

***And my general dismissal of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions.
