Musicians have long been suspicious of DJ's at best and contemptuous at worst. After all, just what do they do?There's no hotter DJ at the moment than Deadmau5, and on his blog post entitled "we all hit play" he broke the myth of the DJ being a musical god. Here it is in it's entirety, although you can check out the original on his site as well.
"we all hit play.its no secret. when it comes to “live” performance of EDM… that’s about the most it seems you can do anyway. It’s not about performance art, its not about talent either (really its not) In fact, let me do you and the rest of the EDM world button pushers who fuckin hate me for telling you how it is, a favor and let you all know how it is.I think given about 1 hour of instruction, anyone with minimal knowledge of ableton and music tech in general could DO what im doing at a deadmau5 concert. Just like i think ANY DJ in the WORLD who can match a beat can do what “ANYONE else” (not going to mention any names) is doing on their EDM stages too. have a look, then let me explain:okay, so heres me, in a big silly mousehead.. twiddlin a knob or somethin… okay so heres how it works…. Somewhere in that mess is a computer, running ableton live… and its spewing out premixed (to a degree) stems of my original producitons, and then a SMPTE feed to front of house (so tell the light / video systems) where im at in the performance… so that all the visuals line up nicely and all the light cues are on and stuff. Now, while thats all goin on… theres a good chunk of Midi data spitting out as well to a handful of synths and crap that are / were used in the actual produciton… which i can tweak *live* and whatnot… but doesnt give me alot of “lookit me im jimi hendrix check out this solo” stuff, because im constrained to work on a set timeline because of the SMPTE. Its a super redundant system, and more importantly its reliable as FUCK! And obviously, ive done the show a couple hundred times easily by now, so the focus over the past few runs with the “cube show” has been more revolved around adding new audio / visual content to keep it current.so thats my “live” show. and thats as “live” as i can comfortably get it (for now anyway) of course it'll evolve, and change up, but I'm sure a few key principles will always remain the same.I'm just so sick of hearing the “NO!!! IM NOT JUST DOING THIS, I HAVE 6 TABLES UP THERE AND I DO THIS THIS AND THIS” like… honestly. who gives a fuck? i dont have any shame in admitting that for “unhooked” sets.. i just roll up with a laptop and a midi controller and “select” tracks n hit a spacebar. ableton syncs the shit up for me… so no beatmatching skill required. “beatmatching” isnt even a fucking skill as far as im concered anyway. so what, you can count to 4. cool. i had that skill down when i was 3, so dont give me that argument please.my “skills” and other PRODUCERS skills shine where it needs to shine… in the goddamned studio, and on the fucking releases. thats what counts… because this whole big “edm” is taking over fad, im not going to let it go thinking that people assume theres a guy on a laptop up there producing new original tracks on the fly. becausje none of the “top dj’s in the world” to my knowledge have. myself included.you know what makes the EDM show the crazy amazing show that it is? you guys do, the fans, the people who came to appreciate the music, the lights, all the other people who came, we just facilitate the means and the pretty lights and the draw of more awesome people like you by our studio productions. which is exactly what it is. But to stand up and say youre doing something special outside of a studio environment, when youre not, just plain fuckin annoys me."So there you have it. Suspicions confirmed? What do you think?

After wathching Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings movie 1978, Director Peter Jackson first came to about the film. Jackson planned about to make a fantasy film that would be relatively serious and feel "real" with the new developments in computer-generated imagery following Jurassic Park. Saul Zaentz is the person who had held the rights to the book since early 1970s, pitching an adaptation of The Hobbit. Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh make a team to negotiate with Saul Zaentz. But Saul Zaentz did not have distribution rights to The Hobbit. Then Jackson decided to move ahead with King Kong. In 1997 they and began a six-week process of sorting out the rights. they had written their treatment Two to three months later from a a synopsis of the book. They agreed upon two films and a total budget of $75 million. Jackson and Walsh began writing with Stephen Sinclair durin mid 1997. They wrote two film scripts within about one year. They already have decided to merge the two films into one as they came to know that Miramax unable to finance the budget. Jackson became upset by the idea of cutting out half the good stuff of the story. Robert Shaye viewed the video & then he asked why they were making two films when the book was published as three volumes.He really wanted to make the film trilogy. And then Director Jackson, Walsh and Boyens had to write three full new scripts. Jackson took a more chronological approach to the story. To create satisfactory conclusions much effort was put. But there was some ambiguous things such as the battles and the creatures. Most characters have been modified for extra drama. The screenplays continued to evolve during shooting to further explore their characters. The character of Arwen, who was a worrier princess, was the most notable amongst all the legend character. The filmmakers employed Hollywood sword-master Bob Anderson to develop fight and sword choreography for the trilogy and he did awesome job.
The trilogy has around 3,420 effect shots. 260 visual effect artists began work on the trilogy. There was different editor for each film. John Gilbert worked on the first film, Mike Horton and Jabez Olssen on the second and Jamie Selkirk and Annie Collins on the third. Daily rushes would often last up to four hours. The music was composed, orchestrated, conducted, and produced by Howard Shore. Sound technicians spent the early part of the year trying to find the right sounds. Some were bought. Human voices were also used. The technicians worked with New Zealand locals to get many of the sounds.

If I ask what Harry Potter I am sure everyone will try to give the death curse which is “Avada Kedavra”. We all know that Harry Potter is a franchise which was loved by everyone. I can say that every person with a brain are going to love Harry Potter movie, as they did not seen the movie till now. I think in this universe there is not a person who doesn’t seen Harry Potter where DVDs are available. It is not a movie but a era. Twilight is one of the most loved movies by the teen age girls.
