Carre: famous amsterdam theater


Carré is closely connected to the family Carré. This family group gave their first performances by the end of the 18th century and in 1863 they came to Holland for the first time. In 1866 Oscar Carré finally got permission to build his first stone theater, and on 3 December 1887 this building was officially opened. Carré turned form a circus into a variété theater. After the dead of Oscar Carré in 1911 the theater had a bad period. No profits were made even though several directors tried new things.



During the second world war Carré attracted more people, because people were searching for distraction. But because of the Razia's in 1944, people started to stay away and the doors were closed from 1944 till 1945. In 1968 Carré was bought with the intention to break it down and build a hotel on the place. That's where the municipality of Amsterdam got involved.
In 1977 Carré became the official theater of Amsterdam, because the municipality bought it and when it existed for one hundred years it became the Royal Theater Carré.

free customized films to organizations around the world to further their message.

This river in India



The Ganges is a trans-boundary river of India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It is the longest river of India and is the second greatest river in the world by water discharge.



The Ganges basin is the most heavily populated river basin in the world, with over 400 million people and a population density of about 1,000 inhabitants per square mile.
The Ganges is the most sacred river to Hindus and is also a lifeline to millions of Indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshiped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism.
The Ganges was ranked among the five most polluted rivers of the world in 2007,
The Ganga Action Plan, an environmental initiative to clean up the river, has been a major failure thus far due to corruption and lack of technical expertise.




 

Future Footage cloud-sourced?


Cloud Filmmaking
Cloud Filmmaking: A new genre of filmmaking that uses the cloud to collaboratively create films, and then uses the cloud to translate and cater versions of those films to help organizations around the world.
Cloud filmmaking is a term originally coined by Tiffany Shlain (filmmaker, artist, and the Webby Awards Founder) and her film studio The Moxie Institute and was announced in 2012.

The process involves cloud-sourcing creative content from the people around the world, including artwork, photographs, and home video, and then integrating each asset into one film.
The Moxie Institute film studio works with the non-profits to include their call to action at the end of the films so they can use the film in their own efforts to maximize their advocacy, fundraising, or other communication efforts on the web. Customization is offered for free.

Testimonial about Eindhoven city


In promotion and of advertising, a testimonial or show consists of a person's written or spoken statement extolling the virtue of some product. The term "testimonial" most commonly applies to the sales-pitches attributed to ordinary citizens, whereas the word "endorsement" usually applies to pitches by celebrities.

Film critics working for newspapers, magazines, broadcast media, and online publications, mainly review new releases. The plot summary and description of a film that makes up the majority of any film review can have an important impact on whether people decide to see a film.

Fireworks



These days, it seems that every man and his dog wants to run a film festival, which is fantastic in many ways, not least because it provides a greater number of outlets for filmmakers to get their work in front of an audience. But sadly, the multitude of scammers and ethics-light opportunists who prowl the Internet also seem to have their dirty fingers in the film festival scene and scam events represent a risk to unwary filmmakers everywhere.

Tarragona from above


In filmmaking and video production, a bird's-eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. The perspective is very foreshortened, making the subject appear short and squat. This shot can be used to give an overall establishing shot of a scene, or to emphasise the smallness or insignificance of the subjects. These shots are normally used for battle scenes or establishing where the character is. It is shot by

lifting the camera up by hands or by hanging it off something strong enough to support it. For a scene that needs a large area shot, then it will most often likely to be lifted by a crane or some other sort of machine.

Home movies souvenirs


In the 1950s, playing home movies became popular in the United States as Kodak 8 mm film projector equipment became more affordable. The development of multi-channel audio systems and later LaserDisc in the 1980s created a new paradigm for home video. In the early to mid-1990s, a typical home cinema in the United States would have a LaserDisc or VHS player fed to a large rear-projection television set. Some people were using expensive front projectors in a darkened viewing room.
