Dancing with the Camera: Ezra Hurwitz on Capturing Dance on Film- Review day 9

Capturing dance on camera is a feat all on its own, and having a dance background is a very helpful thing. Ezra Hurwitz is a former dancer, who after he injured himself in dance, decided to pursue photography and filming. "I always knew I wasn't going to dance forever," says Ezra in an interview with Dance Magazine. When he was back in New York of rehab after his injury, Ezra says, "I was bored, so I started working with Ellen Barr in the New York City Ballet video department." That's what got him into filming dance.
Dance is an art form that engages the eyes and imagination of those who watch it. To catch it on film and capture the magic of it is extremely difficult. If you don't get the dance at the right angles, you are not going to be able to understand the story and connection of the piece and those are two of the  most important things of dance, the third being the emotion of the piece. If one cannot connect emotionally with the piece, then they will have a harder time understanding the story behind the dance.

These 'Indesturctible' Animals Would Survive a Planet-Wide Apocalypse -review day 22

An Animal that can survive even up until the sun quits shinning? No... that can't be true. But it is. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are tiny water-dwelling creatures that are famed for their resiliency. They can survive for up to 30 years without food or water and can endure extreme temperature changes. WHAT?! No, not okay. They can even survive astrophysical events, like supernovas and asteroid strikes. I'm sorry but no way is that even possible! If they can survive all that, does that mean they can survive someone stepping on them? Are they completely impossible to kill? I'm only asking because tiny, eight-legged things resemble spiders, and I hate spiders.

NASA Prepares for Aug. 21 Total Solar Eclipse with Live Coverage, Safty Information-Review Day 19

For the first time in 99 years will the sun undergo a full solar eclipse that can be seen from all across the continental US. NASA is in full motion preparing for this event to show the eclipse from at least 65 different cameras; each giving a different and unique vantage point of the rare celestial event. NASA also plans on airing a multi-hour broadcast called Eclipse Across America: Through the Eyes of NASA that will be showing the eclipse live and giving information and coverage on activities in parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals and museums across the nation. I'm pretty excited for this event. Mostly because it is a once in a life time thing and I get to experience it with my family. We are actually going camping in Casper WY for it then coming back the next day to go to a Trace Adkins Concert at the fair.

Prince William Played Soccer With Small Childeren And It's Too Much-Review Day 20

Prince William, AKA the Duke of Cambridge, hosted a send off for the English women's soccer team. The whole thing mostly consisted of him playing soccer with a lot of young children and it is "Royally Adorable" says Allison Wild of BuzzFeed News. This really is quite adorable and it makes me so happy to see members of the Royal family getting out there and doing things like this with their community. In many on the pictures posted of the event, Prince William looks more like a coach than a prince and it is so amazing to see. Its on very rare occasions that you see important people doing things that put them in the position of a middle class person. It makes them so much more relatable to in the publics eye.
