Special Effects Made Possible Through Green Screen Studio

Filed under: News — Guest Author @ 8:04 am

Shooting at a Green screen studio isn’t just a very good experience, but also one that doesn’t shake your financial position up. Today, everybody looks to be giving a lot of thought to the quantity of money that they’re spending on a flick. It is important for them to count every single dollar before shelling it out. No wastage can be afforded, because money is in such short supply. With the IRS respiring down your neck, trying to collect your taxes down to the last cent, the last thing you need is a problem with the revenue department. Thus if you were to shoot at a facility like this, you could ensure that your money was spent well and not a cent went down the drain.

Looking for a studio to provide all those computer effects generating technologies that a Green screen studio provides should be one of the things that are on the requirements list of a director. This is particularly true if he’s shooting a film which has dinosaurs and oversized snakes or a scene with J Lo and Brad Pitt lounging around sexily on the mossy ground in an exotic, alien Amazon forest. He actually won’t be successful if he is going to run around in a real forest looking for these prehistoric creatures to physically shoot.

Instead, going to the technical staff of Green screen studio could help him a great amount. They’re going to be ready to help him with workable suggestions for creating just the sort of ambience that he’s looking for. Considering the indisputable fact that he’s attempting to find something out of the Ice or Stone Age, he will have to be clear on his necessities. Whether it be dinosaurs or the setting of an exotic land, anything is possible.

Once the requirements are made known to the staff at Green screen studio, it is their job to provide all the tools that are required to ensure that the shot is done according to the specs provided. All through the year, the staff is faced with challenging ever-changing scenarios where the requests keep getting more demanding than before. However, they try their very best to provide what the director is looking for so they are able to maintain their reputation as a one-stop shop for all studio essentials.

Since the Green screen studio can be hired out by the hour, there are folk who are prepared to working out an arrangement so the studio can be hired for a longer period at a reduced cost. The amount paid also permits the director and his crew to be helped by a technical person who is able to make sure that all the equipment is working properly and in the right way. Once this is done, the work can go on unhindered and the final result will be miles better than the director was actually hoping for. Even artists begin to feel that sense of professionalism that pervades the whole studio, which engulfs the staff too.

There are a lot of other sites giving various forms of advice on how to use green screen but most of them are not very detailed or concise.

Great Ways To Raise Money Fast!

Filed under: News — Guest Author @ 8:10 am

Regulation D, Under Sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, the SEC adopted Regulation D to coordinate the various limited offering exemptions and to streamline the existing requirements applicable to private offers and sales of securities. The Regulation establishes three exemptions from registration in Rules 504, 505, and 506.

Rule 504, which provides an exemption for non-reporting companies unless they are “blank check” issuers or certain “shells”, stipulates that: The sale of up to $1,000,000 of securities in a 12-month period is permitted provided that there is no general solicitation, the securities sold are restricted securities and cannot be resold except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption, and a notice must be filed with the SEC within 15 days after the first sale. Rule 504 does not provide an exemption under any state laws. In certain limited circumstances where an offering is conducted under state accredited investor exemptions, securities offered under Rule 504 may be freely transferrable. Unlike Rules 505 and 506, Rule 504 does not mandate that specified disclosure be provided to purchasers. Nonetheless, the business person should take care that sufficient information is provided to meet the full disclosure obligations which exist under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws.

Rule 505 was adopted by the SEC to provide small businesses more flexibility in raising capital than under Rule 504 – but without the uncertainty of determining the quality of the purchasers that generally is involved in using Rule 506. Rule 505 provides issuers a limited offering exemption for sales of securities totaling up to $5 million in any 12-month period.

Rule 505 contains certain restrictions regarding “accredited investors” and non-accredited persons. The-term “accredited investor” includes:

Banks, insurance companies, registered investment companies, business development companies, or small business investment companies; Certain employee benefit plans for which investment decisions are made by a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser; Any employee benefit plan (Within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) with total assets in excess of $5 million; Charitable organizations, corporations or partnerships with assets in excess of $5 million; Directors, executive officers, and general partners of the issuer; Any entity in which all the equity owners are accredited investors; Natural persons with a net worth of at least $1 million; Any natural person with an income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse in excess of $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; and Trusts with assets of at least $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, and whose purchases are directed by a sophisticated person.

If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish audited financial statements.

If an issuer other than a limited partnership cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, only the issuer’s balance sheet (to be dated within 120 days of the start of the offering) must be audited.

Limited partnerships unable to obtain required financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense may furnish financial statements prepared on the basis of federal income tax requirements and examined and reported on by an independent public or certified accountant in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; and The issuer must also be available to answer questions by prospective purchasers about the issuer or the offering.

Further restrictions under Rule 505 include:

The total offering price of each issue of securities may not exceed $5 million. The offering may not be made by means of general solicitation or general advertising. The issuer may sell the securities to an unlimited number of “accredited investors” and to 35 non-accredited persons. There are no requirements of “sophistication” or “wealth” for persons to whom the securities are sold. A company must take any necessary steps to ensure that the purchasers are acquiring securities for investment only, not for resale. The securities are thus “restricted” and investors must be informed that they may not be able to sell except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption from registration. The issuer is not required to file any offering materials with the Commission. Fifteen days after the first sale in the offering, the issuer must file a notice of sales on Form D. The notice also contains an undertaking under this Rule for the issuer to furnish the Commission, upon its staff s request, any information given to non-accredited purchasers in connection with the offering. Rule 505 does not provide an exemption from state securities laws.

SEC Rule 506 offers and sales of securities by an issuer that satisfy the conditions stated below are deemed transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. For an offering to be considered exempt from the registration requirements, Rule 506 stipulates: There is no ceiling on the amount of money which may be raised. No general solicitation or general advertising is permitted. The issuer may sell its securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors and 35 non accredited purchasers. Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited purchasers (either alone or with a purchaser representative) must be sophisticated – that is, have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to render them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The term “accredited investor” is defined under Rule 505.

If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish the same financial information as would be required by registration on Form S-1.

If the issuer cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, then financial statements may be provided in accordance with the special treatment described under Rule 505.

The securities sold are “restricted” under the same stipulations in Rule 505.

A company is required to file a notice of the offering on Form D at SEC headquarters within 15 days after the first sale in the offering. All states except New York provide an exemption from state securities laws for offerings under Rule 506 but the company must file a copy of the Form D and pay a filing fee in each state. New York has a distinctive law which makes a Rule 506 offering within that state impractical.

Accredited Investor Exemption

The Small Business Investment Incentive Act of 1980 created a new statutory exemption from registration under the Securities Act for transactions involving offers and sales of securities by any issuer solely to one or more “accredited investors.” Under Section 4(6):

The total offering price of each issue of securities under the exemption may not exceed the limit on small offerings set by Section 3(b) the Securities Act, which currently is $5 million per issue. The offering may not be made by means of any form of advertising or public solicitation.

The term “accredited investor” is defined to include the same individuals and entities as included for purposes of Rules 505 and 506. The issuer is required to file a notice of sales on Form D with the Commission 15 days after the initial sale is made in reliance on the exemption.

Bloody Conflicts

Filed under: News — Guest Author @ 1:50 pm

The first casualty is the truth … So far avoided torture, summary execution and rape? Still capable of dodging approaching helicopters and machete wielding thugs but have nowhere to run? If so, you had better hope someone, somewhere is paying attention to your plight; and if you want to receive Western help you had better pray one of the ‘holy trinity’ of the stock market, national security, and price of oil is affected in your favour. Otherwise, you’re screwed! If the war affecting you does not have a western angle it risks falling off the news page; if it ever gets that far. Minus a few notable exceptions, the western media’s coverage of conflict is very discriminating. While we all had front row seats for the Nato bombing of Belgrade, we saw little or nothing of the carnage happening, at the same time, in parts of Africa, Asia and South America. These are the forgotten wars, where the West may supply the weaponry, but the conflict never makes it to our television screens. In these conflicts people die brutal, savage deaths that go unrecorded and uncounted. Why do we hear so much about the human rights of some and so little of others?

If human rights were really the issue, if the desire for peace really spurred on our politicians the conflicts in Congo, Angola, Sudan and Eritrea, that were no less bloody, would not have gone virtually unreported during the Kossovo conflict. In our global theatre the media coverage is often so intense it produces detrimental affects. Governments make ad hoc decisions without real thought to the consequences; aid agencies, desperate for intervention, arrange itineraries and logistics for the press.

Then, once the media circus packs up in search of a more photogenic war, what of the people left behind? Kofi Annan, last year urged journalists to engage in ‘preventative journalism’ instead of fuelling crisis he asked journalists to “identify an issue that is likely to blow into a crisis leading to bloodshed and conflict, keep reporting it, thus forcing policy makers and leaders to act on it before it explodes.” He went on to say “Don’t go away when the blood stops flowing.” With these forgotten wars, it is not just a question of journalists leaving when the blood stops flowing, but that they were never there in the first place.

Business Opportunities Online

Filed under: News — Guest Author @ 12:45 am

There are plenty of business opportunities online, and the only problem is that the market is so competitive that you may have a chance of being ignored especially if you’re not very visible on the internet.  Letting your site sit online and simply waiting until someone chances upon you is a one- in-a-million shot.  Better to employ a good SEO company to promote your website to the right users.  You can also provide free themes just to get you hooked up with a network of users.
