[Any] story [has to be] complete in itself. If there are gaps that you’re hoping will be filled in with visual effects, you’re likely to be disappointed. We can add ideas, we can help in whatever way that we can, but you want to make sure that when you read it, it reads well.
[Our responsibility as VFX artist] I think first and foremost [is] to engage the audience. Everything that we do has to be part of the audience wanting to sit there and watch that movie and see what happens next. And it’s a combination of things. It’s the drama of the characters. It’s maybe what you can do to a scene to make it compelling to look at, the realism that you might need to get people drawn into that moment. It could be any number of things, but it’s really about just making sure that you’re always in mind of how the audience is experiencing what they’re seeing.

QNTM – Developer Philosophy
- Avoid, at all costs, arriving at a scenario where the ground-up rewrite starts to look attractive
- Aim to be 90% done in 50% of the available time
- Automate good practice
- Think about pathological data
- There is usually a simpler way to write it
- Write code to be testable
- It is insufficient for code to be provably correct; it should be obviously, visibly, trivially correct

What light is best to illuminate gems for resale
www.palagems.com/gem-lighting2
Artificial light sources, not unlike the diverse phases of natural light, vary considerably in their properties. As a result, some lamps render an object’s color better than others do.
The most important criterion for assessing the color-rendering ability of any lamp is its spectral power distribution curve.
Natural daylight varies too much in strength and spectral composition to be taken seriously as a lighting standard for grading and dealing colored stones. For anything to be a standard, it must be constant in its properties, which natural light is not.
For dealers in particular to make the transition from natural light to an artificial light source, that source must offer:
1- A degree of illuminance at least as strong as the common phases of natural daylight.
2- Spectral properties identical or comparable to a phase of natural daylight.A source combining these two things makes gems appear much the same as when viewed under a given phase of natural light. From the viewpoint of many dealers, this corresponds to a naturalappearance.
The 6000° Kelvin xenon short-arc lamp appears closest to meeting the criteria for a standard light source. Besides the strong illuminance this lamp affords, its spectrum is very similar to CIE standard illuminants of similar color temperature.
