I try and work in the movies when I can but mostly I love playing video games. My opinions are my own and are mostly very boring.
I finally have few minutes to start this one.

Just finished my second play through of ‘Chants of Sennaar’, an absolutely enchanting and thought-provoking game. The art style is utterly beautiful and the gameplay, minus a few unnecessary stealth parts, is a game about understanding what people have in common. An absolute 9/10 for me.

4/4: The Bionicle Mata Nui Online game. This ancient flash game from 2001 redefined what I thought I could play on a web browser. Yes, it was made to promote a Lego toy line but the visuals and music completely blew me away when I was younger.

3/4: Catadioptric lenses. I learned that these lenses existed a few years ago and I’ve always wanted to know how a lens that has both mirrors and lenses in it works. How does it fit 1000mm into a small lens and how on earth do you not see the middle of it in the image?

2/4: The sodium vapor (vapour?) process. This is how they got those amazing VFX mattes in ‘Mary Poppins’ and we’ve all seen that Corridor Crew video but there’s so much more I want to know? How did they track them in camera? Why is it a legend that we somehow can’t make another prism?
