Going Round




In filmmaking, video production, and other media, live action refers to cinematography or videography that does not use animation .
As the normal process of making visual media involves live action, the term itself is usually superfluous, but it makes an important distinction in situations in which one might normally expect animation.
The phrase "live action" also occurs within an animation context to refer to non-animated characters

An amusement park or theme park is a group of entertainment attractions, rides, and other events in a location for the enjoyment of large numbers of people. Amusement parks have a fixed location, as opposed to travelling funfairs and traveling carnivals, and are more elaborate than simple city parks or playgrounds, usually providing attractions meant to cater specifically to certain age groups, as well as some that are aimed towards all ages. Theme parks, a specific type of amusement park, are usually much more intricately themed to a certain subject or group of subjects than normal amusement parks.

The Magical House



Magic is a performing art that entertains audiences by staging tricks or creating illusions of seemingly impossible or supernatural  feats using natural means. These feats are called magic tricks, effects or illusions. A professional who performs such illusions is called a stage magician or an illusionist. Some performers may also be referred to by names reflecting the type of magical effects they present, such as prestidigitators, conjurors, hypnotists, mentalists, or escapologists.

The road to hell



Hieronymus Bosch is perceptive and critical. He takes his own environment on the grain and leaves little on the good fellow Christians. Take the triptych of The Hay Wagon, one of the last panels, painted between 1515 and 1516.

Bosch condemns scrabbling. A wagon full of hay stands for the pursuit of materialism. Devils pull the wagon. He spares no one. Rich and poor, all positions run after them and withdrawn hell. A procession of the pope, the emperor and the king, drunken monks, tooth pullers and Gypsies is tempted. The suffering Christ looks on in the cloud, but nobody except the angel has an eye for him.

Greed, folly and transience seem to overcome, is the message of Hieronymus Bosch. The Spanish King Philip II bought the panel in 1570 for his private collection. Philip was a great lover of Bosch.  Who does not want to see up close this panel? The grabbers?

Film scores encompass an enormous variety of styles of music, depending on the nature of the films they accompany. The majority of scores are orchestral works rooted in Western classical music, but many scores are also influenced by jazz, rock, pop, blues, new-age and ambient music, and a wide range of ethnic and world music styles.

Rastafari



Rastafari is an Abrahamic belief which developed in Jamaica in the 1930s, following the coronation of Haile Selassie I as Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930. Its adherents worship him in much the same way as Jesus in his Second Advent, or as God the Father.  Members of the Rastafari way of life are known as Rastafari, Rastas, Rastafarians, or simply Ras. Rastafari are also known by their official church titles, such as Elder or High Priest.



Rastafari holds many Christian beliefs like the existence of a triune God, called Jah, who had sent his divine incarnate son to Earth in the form of Jesus (Yeshua) and made himself manifest as the divine person of Haile Selassie I. Rastafari accept much of the Bible, although they believe that its message and interpretation have been corrupted.
