The Invisible Art the Legends of Movie Matte Painting Book

I finally got the book I wanted to buy four years ago on ebay, The Invisible Art, because it is an extremely rare book and most foreign used bookstores do not support direct shipping to China, so I waited for a long time looking for an opportunity to buy a newer copy of The Invisible Art, and finally I found a merchant on ebay who sent the book to China through a forwarding center in the US. The reason for buying this book is that I wanted to build my own world view. Although this book is mainly about Matte Painting in film production, just as we sit in the cinema and watch a movie, we do not feel that there is such a group of artists behind the scenes serving the story of the movie, our thoughts are moving forward with the story. Similarly, in other fields, after we use technology to complete the whole, we should let the user or the admirer feel the art itself, not the technique, the technique is to serve the art, through learning Matte Painting, we always need to remember that Matte Painting is to serve the story, when leaving the story behind to express your ideas through gorgeous technology, no one can understand you, because the viewer has already seen you in the work, he already knows this is a gorgeous special effect. Do some thinking divergence, like playing music, at first we focus on the technique, and finally the musicality, we want the music to tell the story, this time we have to learn the Invisible Art technique, to let the listener be attracted to your music, not as a spectator to listen to your performance, great Matte Painting work is all about creating physically realistic scenes. The same of good musician is to let you understand the meaning of each note, Invisible Art is about taking every detail to the extreme and then building a magnificent world in which every sculptural detail of the artist is hidden, which is why I created invisibleart.pro. To learn a field, you first have to like it, and then you explore the details in it. ...

Invisibleart Workshop Online

Invisible I set up an online studio named invisibleart, inspired by a book about Matte Painting, book’s name is “The Invisible Art: The Legends of Movie Matte Painting”. Because I’m particularly interested in Matte Painting, and because the book is so scarce that the price on Amazon is already selling at 1600RMB, I purchased a copy through ebay in May, hoping that I would receive the book properly in June. My main concern is the invisibleart, which is a film visual effects creation that allows you to see no traces of artificial processing in the work, as if directly shot with a camera directly to the original scene. To create these images in the digital world requires us to train our eyes to discern the real details in them. In a grand sense, every work of art by an artist is rooted in authenticity, as we know from painting, music, and the ancient people who first learned from nature imitation in their creations, the closer the characteristics of the artwork are to nature, the more we can feel the authenticity of the art. Based on this idea, I set up the website invisibleart.pro. The purpose of the website is to tell the latest film technology, including the interpretation of professional papers and articles, and the release of works, invisibleart.pro is different from blog.cineneural.com differs in that the former focuses on the details of the technical field, while the latter focuses mainly on a summary of my life and thinking. ...

Discussion of risk allocation

I recently read the blog post Risk Allocation Framework by Eric Xu, which also made me think about my own risk resistance , especially in the face of uncertain events that occur. In 2021, my main focus is on quantitative finance. Although the quantitative field sounds advanced to the layman, most commercial companies generally do not disclose algorithms that can be profitable directly in the market, and it still takes some coincidence and opportunity to profit from publicly available algorithms. In my opinion, no matter how many times your earnings, one thing you always have to consider is how to bear the risk, if you invest in a stock, the beginning is a lot of earnings, and finally because of market volatility factors lead to all your earnings to zero, and the cost also fell to 90%, this time how do you talk about profit. In the field of investment you can survive for how long, it shows how high your ability to resist risk, do not let yourself out easily, once out, you will never have the opportunity to enter the profit. ...
