Are You Camera Ready? Fashion Tips on Always Looking Your Best

I picked up the term "camera ready" from a former Marketing Manager. You know how each time you are aware that you will be posing for the camera you make an extra effort to ensure your hair is in place, your make up is applied and that you are fabulously dressed. Well "camera ready simply means that - being ready to take a photo.Who doesn't want to look their best when taking a photo?

Being "camera ready" is important attribute in marketing as this is a dynamic field and agendas change all the time.I always found that it was on my worse dressed days that I would be sent out of the office to a meeting or attend a prize giving function to present a prize... hello photo opt.So I learnt the hard way that being well dressed is a very good habit to adopt.

This does not only apply to work.When dressing for work or play, casual or formal events always make an effort to coordinate your clothes and accessories as opposed to simply throwing together the first things you can find.Who wants to be looking like something the cat dragged in and find yourself suddenly being introduced to the most gorgeous guy?And don't say if it was meant to be, then your attire would not matter.First impressions matters and you only get one change to make a first and what could be a lasting impression.

Here are 7 fashion tips on always being camera ready:

Plan your attire each week.You can select one trouser and 5 different tops and blouses.Or you can decide to be versatile and alternate between a dress, a skirt or trousers with interchanging top or blouses.When you plan what you are going to wear suddenly you dig out of your wardrobe clothes you have not worn in ages and you are able to match it up with something you never thought of wearing it with before.

When putting together new outfits, try them on the night before to ensure that it works.Nothing is more disorienting than discovering that your planned outfit does not look as smashing as you thought.Other than delaying you, this simply panics you into grabbing the first thing you can put your hand on.

Find at least 4 different looks for the same top or trousers by wearing different fashion accessories, coats, jackets etc.Whenyou can do this well, suddenly you find that -less is more- and that you do not need tonnes of clothes to dress well, just key quality pieces.

Invest in some statement jewellery which transforms simple clothing into glamorous looks.Handcrafted jewellery pieces are a must as they are usually unique jewellery pieces and sometimes one of a kind.

Head scarves and hair accessories are so important on those bad hair days.The trick is to have many headscarves so that you can find one that will compliment an outfit.Go for a mixture of plain coloured, multi coloured, patterned, striped, polkadots etc.

Use the winter sales to stock up on tights.Not just your traditional grey and black but get some funky tights with some funky colours and patterns.This will give you more versatility in planning your wardrobe as you can now include skirts and dresses in your weekly ensemble.

Nourish your hair and skin on a daily basis to attain naturally better skin and hair.It is all well and good to use external products but nourishing our bodies from the inside results in less extensive outer body work.Supplements such as aloe vera gel and royal jelly tablets go a long way in improving skin elasticity and hair condition.When we are healthy from the inside it shows on the outside.

So be camera ready and take advantage of spontaneous, spur of the moment opportunities that come your way.Looking good makes you feel good.

10 Most Lovable Animation Movies

Animation is the speedy display of a series of images of 2-D artwork in order to create an illusion of movement. One of the most common ways of presenting animation is a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist. Because of the highly entertaining value it has, animation has been used in films as it has the capacity to attract an audience of various age groups, from 8 to 80.

The use of animation in films probably began in the year 1890. J. Stuart Blackton was the first man who put animation in his film titled 'Humorous Phases of Funny Faces'. The film featured a cartoonist drawing faces on a chalkboard, and the faces actually coming to life. After that many filmmakers and producers started using various animations in their films that apparently brought life to their pictures.

Soon, the stage came where the audience gradually got the chance to see films or movies where each and every character was animated. Those are full fledged animated movies. If we take a look at the list of the block bluster movies, we will be surprised to find that animation movies are equally contributing to this list.

Movies like The Lion King, Shrek, Monsters, Toy Story, Aladdin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Ice Age, Tarzan, A Bug's Life, etc. are considered as the top 10 animated movies both by the viewers and critics. Giant entertainment companies like Walt Disney, Pixar, Fox Entertainment, Dream Works, etc. have invested millions of dollars behind these animated movies and their profit was also up to the expectation.

The Lion King produced by Walt Disney Feature Production is one of the most thought provoking animated movies. It was originally titled the King of the Jungle. In order to achieve perfection the animators who worked on this movie studied the activities and the movements of real life animals too. In fact the filmmakers were such perfectionists that they went to Kenya to study the natural habitat that is used as a background in the film. The film featured green grass, the smoke from the fire, and the waterfall, all presented in perfect animation. The characters were built using 3D computer programmes that looked perfect.

Shrek is based upon a fairy tale picture produced by Dream Works. Though the film is meant for children, the theme has also attracted adults. The plot of the movie is simple and humorous. In fact this movie became so popular that computer games were made on Shrek.

Aladdin, the animated film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, is based on the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp of Arabian Nights. The character of Aladdin was drawn by keeping in mind the faces of various Hollywood heroes and at the end it was decided that he would look like Tom Cruise. Special computer animations were used to develop some scenes of the movie. Some such instances are the full view of the palace, the magic carpet, the breaking up of the cave, etc.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, produced in 1937 by Walt Disney, is considered as one of the first commercially successful animation films. The film is a pioneer in many ways. It took three years to make this film because at that time the animations were not developed. They used many techniques that were in the primary stage of development at that time. They used animations to create rain, lightning, water, reflections, sparkles, magic, etc.

Toy Story, produced by Pixar Animation Studio is an animated movie that is fully created on computer. The story revolves around the toys of a nine year old boy and the story of the film is told from the toy's point of view.

A Bug's Life, again produced by Pixar Animation Studio and released in 1998, tells the tale of ants which think that they are warrior bugs and they have the courage to fight with the greedy grasshoppers. John Lasseter directed it. The story is based on the famous Aesop's fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper.

One can see that most of the animation movies are meant for children. But elders also equally enjoy these because these animation movies have various layers of meaning. With the rapid developments in various animated software, one can surely expect a solid future in producing animation films.

History of Computer Graphics

The field of computer graphics has developed alongside the development of the digital computer. In 1959, MIT's Lincoln Labs TX-2 computer gave birth to the field of interactive graphics. By the mid 1960's major corporations, such as TRW, Lockheed, General Electric and Sperry Rand, had already started research and development in computer graphics. IBM's 2250 graphics terminal, was the first commercially available graphics computer.

In 1969, the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) initiated a Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH) to promote the generation and dissemination of information on graphics and interactive techniques. SIGGRAPH interests include simulation and modeling, computer generated art, digital motion analysis, text editing and composition, cartography and mapping, computer aided design, and graphics software and hardware.

During the 1970s, personal computers became more powerful, and were more capable of drawing complex shapes and designs.

In the late 1980s, 3D computer graphics, such as 3D models, became possible with the SGI computers and graphical user interfaces (GUI). GUI presented data (input and output) and information with symbols, icons and images, rather than text. The SGI computers were used to create some of the first fully computer-generated short films at . Today, Apple's Macintosh system remains one of the most popular choice for computer graphics in graphic design studios and businesses.

In the 1990's, 3D image renderings became the main advances in the computer industry and it stimulated cinematic graphics applications. VGA and SVGA standards were introduced and since then, personal computers could easily display photo-realistic images and movies.

Since then, computer graphics have become more realistic, due to more advanced computers, 3D techniques, and better 3D modeling software and applications. With the rising popularity of games, multimedia, and animation, 3D graphics have become more popular.

In 1996, one of the first fully 3D games, Quake, was released. In 1995, Toy Story, the first full-length computer-generated animation film, was released. In 2001, powerful computer hardware graphics GeForce series by NVIDIA's was released. In 2003 ID Software graphics engine was released in Doom3 game.

Graphics in computer are widely used today. From graphics presentations to virtual reality worlds and entertainment, computer graphics have a far reaching impact of our everyday lives.
