What Do We Learn From Hollywood?

September 16th 2009 06:15
Do movies sometimes seem to defy logic? It's not that films go against the laws of physics, but because we weren't taught correctly at school!
Here is what classrooms would be like if Hollywood took over the education of science.
These images are the best entries from a Photoshop competition at cracked.com. See other entrants here.


If Hollywood taught science- In space no one can hear you scream



Hollywood movies. Effects of radiation


Hollywood computer science - hacking lessons. FBI, CIA



Effects of getting shot pie chart. Flip or fall to ground


Hollywood movie CPR. Kiss passionately and say I love you.

Stop Motion

September 22nd 2006 06:07
Stop motion is a generic general term for an animation technique which makes static objects appear to move. Many still frames are taken then put together to create the illusion of movement. It can be quite a painstaking technique with only a few seconds of actual footage been produced after an entire day. Stop motion animation is almost as old as film-making itself, dating back to 1898, it has been used recently in popular TV shows and movies such as Wallace & Gromit and Chickenrun. Perhaps that is what inspired these budding young filmmakers to give it a go. More examples of their work can be seen here.

Graduation Prank

June 6th 2006 02:41
I first saw this excellent photo of a graduation prank at a University in India about a year ago but it's still just as funny. I love how this photo was taken just before anyone having their picture taken had reacted. I also like how the pranksters coordinated their water pouring so well.

Serious Drinking Problem

May 29th 2006 04:11
Have you and your mates ever tried to collect all of your empty alcohol bottles until the pile seemed worryingly large? Ever been to the cricket and tried to make a huge snake of beer cups?
Even if you have, I doubt you've put together a collection as impressive as these college students in the USA.
