Vashi Nedomansky – Shooting ratios of feature films
In the Golden Age of Hollywood (1930-1959), a 10:1 shooting ratio was the norm—a 90-minute film meant about 15 hours of footage. Directors like Alfred Hitchcock famously kept it tight with a 3:1 ratio, giving studios little wiggle room in the edit.
Fast forward to today: the digital era has sent shooting ratios skyrocketing. Affordable cameras roll endlessly, capturing multiple takes, resets, and everything in between. Gone are the disciplined “Action to Cut” days of film.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_ratio

GIMP 3.0 review – 20 years on from 2.0, has GIMP kept up with the times?
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.html
Highlights
- Need to tweak a filter you applied hours ago? New in GIMP 3.0 is non-destructive editing for most commonly-used filters. See the changes in real time with on-canvas preview.
- Exchange files with more applications, including BC7 DDS files as well as better PSD export and many new formats.
- Don’t know how big to make your drawing? Simply set your paint tool to expand layers automatically as needed.
- Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.
- Organizing your layers has become much easier with the ability to select multiple items at once, move them or transform them all together!
- Color Management was again improved, as our long-term project to make GIMP an advanced image editor for all usages.
- Updated graphical toolkit (GTK3) for modern desktop usage.
- New Wilber logo!

It marks the end of an era when tech companies invested heavily in vr animation content with open-ended non-monetary goals to develop the technology. Facebook, too, launched a similar initiative — Oculus Story Studio — which it shuttered in May 2017.
