![]() ![]() Not yet… I’m waiting until Christmas is a bit closer. Rudolph is a great example of a holiday classic, but one that always stuck out in my head is Will Vinton’s Clamation Christmas…the waffleing song was my favorite growing up! Many of the best holiday films I can remember seeing as a kid were made from stop motion. ![]() Where did you pull inspiration for the characters? John Frizzell is our go to guy on many of our bigger production audio tracks and with his help we were really able to make the melody of this piece sing. However, if you’re talking about the actual FARTS, well, we went to a specialist. come from our sound effects library that we use in almost every production. Plus, since everything was shot in camera, including the background, it was very important not to bump the set between frames so that there wouldn’t be any random jittering to distract from the focus of attention.ĭid you record the sound effects yourself?Īll the footsteps and clanks, etc. For many of the shots that had animated objects I found it was easier to swap out objects using simple setups of whatever was nearby, which usually meant duct tape! Baby powder was used to help dull the look of acrylic, as well as keep the puppet from becoming too sticky.Īfter the puppets were built and assembled, the trickiest parts were figuring out ways to animate the puppets. Once each piece was separated, they were dipped in balloon rubber and painted for their final color. ![]() When building the foam-latex puppets, each piece was built with clay, given it’s own flexible wire, and created with mold-making processes that needed to be cut out from the left-over material known as ‘flashing.’ The Jack-in-the-Box and the Doll were made with pieces of fabric and stuffing, however to make the Soldiers and Buttcracker look like they were make out of wood, these characters were made using foam-latex, a method commonly used in many stop-motion studios and special effects houses. The most challenging part of this piece was NOT animating with clay! Because of the amount of use each puppet was going to receive throughout the month-long process of animation, a decision was made early on to use materials that are a bit more durable. What was the most challenging part of animating clay? We broke wind with our new holiday card, The Buttcracker. Ours though was not choreographed on a stage at all, but instead all the characters were molded, shaped and positioned by hand, bringing it to life! We got a chance to talk with Jeff, the lead artist on the project. ![]() ![]() I’ve tried using the ping-pong feature multiple times, with multiple different captures, and after restarting the app and my computer, but the problem seems to happen everytime for me. **alternatively ping-pong sometimes has the problem of creating a hiccup at the peak of the gif where a handful of frames are missing at the beginning of the reversal, creating a gif that isn’t as smooth as I would like it to be. Within the preview everything looks great, but after exporting when the gif has reached the point of reversal, it will consistently play backwards 1) at a much quicker speed and 2) it will overshoot the starting point that I’ve selected to further back in the capture (if the portion I’ve selected for the gif doesn’t begin at the beginning of the capture). Record and Capture mode shortcuts Take a screenshot: Shift + Command + 3 Capture a portion of the screen: Shift + Command + 4 Capture a window or menu: Shift. The one problem I’ve had that is supper annoying comes when I’m trying to export a gif that set to the Ping-Pong Loop-Type. The capture aspect works great and I’ve had no issues, I especially love that it will keep screen recordings until I delete them. I didn’t see an option in-app to report bugs so I’m doing it here. Starting with macOS Catalina, Apple has added a new Screen Recording permission to macOS that needs to be granted to every application that tries to record the screen, either for screen capture (saving a movie locally) or screen sharing (transmitting your screen to somewhere else). ![]() Have any Questions?

![]() ![]() The higher the carat weight, the higher the price. Of course, carat weight has a big impact on the price of a diamond. And each of the 4Cs has an impact on how much a one carat diamond might cost. If you need help reviewing diamonds, contact us and we’ll provide you with a personal recommendation.Together, the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color, and carat) describe a diamond’s qualities. That’s why it’s best to always look for a diamond with the lowest clarity grade that’s still clean to the naked eye. The most common mistake people make is purchasing a diamond with a clarity grade that’s too high to appreciate-thinking they’re getting a “good investment.” Diamonds are a retail product like any other, and- based on their resale value-shouldn’t be considered an investment. ![]() The price can vary a bit based on which shape you select, what color grade you go with, and whether it’s well cut or not. How much does a VVS1 clarity diamond cost?Ī nice one carat round diamond that is VVS1 clarity costs about $6,000. You can learn more in our guide to diamond prices. They give you the same result as lower-graded diamonds: eye-clean diamonds. We don’t believe it’s worth buying a VVS1 diamond ring because the prices are significantly higher. VVS diamonds are more expensive than VS diamonds and significantly more expensive than SI diamonds. As an example, this stunning 2 carat VVS1 diamond from James Allen is priced at $22,840. The average cost of a round 2 carat VVS1 round diamond with an H color is $23,000. For example, this 1 carat round cut with VVS1 clarity and H color from Blue Nile costs $5,730, while this 1 carat round VVS1 with I color is priced at $4,810. The average price of a round 1 carat VVS1 diamond with an H-I color is $5,500. The “VVS1” designation just refers to the clarity grade. Like any diamond, the price of a VVS diamond depends on the diamond cut, diamond color, shape and carat weight. The VVS1 diamond price ranges from $1,100 for a well-cut 0.50 carat H color diamond like this one from Blue Nile to $21,640 for a 1.93 carat diamond and higher. Inclusions in VVS2s are barely visible under a standard jeweler’s loupe and are eye-clean.ĭeal Alert: Save 10% on Lab Grown Diamonds at James Allen VVS1 Diamond Price ![]() VVS2 diamonds are more included than VVS1 diamonds and usually cost slightly less. On the diamond clarity scale, VVS1 diamonds are a grade higher than VVS2 diamonds and a grade lower than internally flawless (IF) diamonds. Only under a powerful microscope can trained professionals spot inclusions in VVS1s. That makes VVS1 diamonds eye-clean, so blemishes and inclusions can’t be seen by the naked eye. What are VVS1 Diamonds?Ĭlarity grades are determined by the GIA laboratory by “Evaluating diamond clarity involves determining the number, size, relief, nature, and position of these characteristics, as well as how these affect the overall appearance of the stone”.Ī VVS1 diamond is a diamond with inclusions so tiny they can’t be seen even under 10x magnification (a standard jeweler’s loupe). Mike followed that up by spending years buying and selling diamonds on the wholesale market as well as selling tens of millions of dollars worth of diamonds to diamond retailers. Mike started from the bottom, sorting and evaluating hundreds of thousands of diamonds to learn every facet (pun intended) of diamond quality and value. The author of this article, our CEO, Mike Fried has over 20 years of experience in the diamond industry. To help you with the diamond buying process we lean on our expertise and experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the seat height is too much for the average Indian buyer with a shorter height, which in my case is negligible. Which in my opinion is an overkill since it reduces bike's efficiency and longevity, ground clearance is a headache for Indian roads since the illegal speed breakers collide with the beneath surface where the heat pipes reside, a certain type of issue increases the exposure towards dents and cracks on the pipeline. The plot in short:- the bike is nimble and easy to ride, the front suspension is on the stiffer side since it improves cornering, the rear suspension got 6 steps damping settings, the low-end torque is insanely fun and the top end hovers around 162-164 km/hr max on gps. In India, the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 goes up against its own cousin, the KTM 250 Duke, along with other quarter-litre offerings including Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the Yamaha FZ25. Dual-channel ABS comes as a standard fitment. Dropping anchors are a 320mm disc upfront and a 230mm disc at the rear, both accompanied by ByBre calipers. Damping duties are handled by upside down forks and a monoshock, both sourced from WP. Its 248.76cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine clings on to a steel trellis frame. What distinguishes it from its scrambler version is clip-on handlebar and absence of metal cladding on the fuel tank.Ĭoming to the hardware, most of the components such as engine, frame, suspension and brakes are the same as the 250 Duke. The angular fuel tank stretches up to under the rider’s seat and blends with a high-set, stubbly tail section integrating compact LED tail lamp. Sitting on top of it is a single-pod digital instrument cluster which shows ample of information. It sports a round headlamp which is a full-LED unit. The Vitpilen is an amalgamation of a retro café racer and a modern street bike in terms of design. Notably, they borrow their styling from the Svartpilen 401 and the Vitpilen 401 which are currently available in the international markets. The 250cc models bearing these names have been developed majorly for the Indian market. Husqvarna’s line-up comprises of Svartpilen and Vitpilen models, of which the former is a scrambler and the latter carries a café racer styling. The motorcycle will be sold in India through KTM dealerships and production is being carried out at Bajaj’s facility in Chakan. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a quarter-litre, cafe racer-styled motorcycle which shares its underpinnings and engine with the KTM 250 Duke. This Vitpilen 250 bike weighs 161 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 9.5 liters. With both front and rear disc brakes, Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 comes up with anti-locking braking system. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is powered by 248.76cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 30.84 bhp and a torque of 24 Nm. If you wear a Men's 10.5 shoe, order the Men's 10 (Ladies' 11-11.5).Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a cafe racer bike available in only 1 variant and 1 colour.

Here's the interesting part: the new Nintendo Switch has an OLED screen. The classic Nintendo Switch is a similar size, but has chunkier screen bezels (Image credit: Nintendo) Nintendo Switch OLED vs Nintendo Switch: Display This adds handles to the console while in handheld mode, making it easier and more comfortable to hold since it’s otherwise completely flat. There's numerous accessories you can get to upgrade your experience with all versions of the Nintendo Switch console, but we particularly like the ZenGrip Pro OLED. This is better than the launch Switch's 2.5 to 6.5 hours, but the OLED Switch brings no real improvement here. Battery life remains the same as the refreshed Nintendo Switch at 4.5 to nine hours. Like before, you can also add a microSD card for Nintendo Switch if you need more room, supporting up to 2TB of extra storage. Nintendo has doubled Switch OLED's internal storage from 32GB to 64GB. You can still get a wired internet connection when playing docked on the original Switch, but this requires buying a separate LAN Adapter. tgake a cable from your home internet router and plug it into the dock for a more reliable signal than you'd see from the Switch's own Wi-Fi connection. ![]() Playing docked and 1080p remains the max output resolution, and the display is 720p when playing in handheld mode.Īn Ethernet (LAN) port is the extra we do get.

They still sit on the bottom of the handheld, one to each side, and offer enhanced audio over the original speakers. You wouldn't know it from a glance but Nintendo also redesigned the Switch OLED's speakers. The stand is also adjustable as well, allowing for different display angles when playing in tabletop mode. It now runs across much of the console's back, which we found keeps it upright more securely. ![]() Nintendo has reworked the Switch's kickstand to make it much less fragile, too. ![]() The new console uses the same 'rail' system for such accessories.

In 1909, Sackett sold the Sackett Plaster Board Co. was formed, providing access to gypsum deposits in Nova Scotia. By the end of 1902, the company had a total of 37 operations. Turn of the century Sensing the promise for the material, a group of small gypsum producers combined to form the United States Gypsum Co. He opened several production facilities over the next eight years and by 1901, he was producing nearly 5 million square feet of board annually. In 1894, Sackett had patented his manufacturing process for Sackett Board. used a mixture of gypsum plaster and fiber to finish the exterior of the 1893 Chicago World Columbian Exposition, thus filling the largest single order of gypsum plaster that had ever been completed to that date. To demonstrate the potential of gypsum plaster, the Alabaster Co. The acceptance of Sackett's product was helped by several concurrent advancements in gypsum plaster technology-most notably changes in formulation that improved both the workability and the working time of gypsum plaster. and the use of Alabaster, a form of gypsum, by sculptors during the Middle Ages. Further evidence of the historical use of gypsum includes its incorporation in the palace of King Minos of Crete in the period, around 1200 B.C. As a testimony to the strength and durability of gypsum, some of this construction, including walls decorated with murals composed of tinted plaster, is still intact and viewable. The first evidence of the use of gypsum in building construction appears to have occurred in 3700 B.C., when the Egyptians used gypsum blocks and plaster applied over woven straw lath in the building of the pyramid of Choeps. Prior to 1894, gypsum had been used for thousands of years as a building material and as an architectural detailing element. This board was patented in 1894 by Augustine Sackett, the man generally considered the grandfather of the gypsum board manufacturing industry. ![]() Modern gypsum board has as its predecessor a product called "Sackett Board," a composite material that was made of layers of thin plaster placed between four plies of wool felt paper. ![]() |
