2010 South by Southwest Festival Film Design Awards

2010 SXSW Film Design Awards

Last week film buffs and industry leaders gathered in Austin, Texas, to honor awardees at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference and Festival.

And this year, they had something new to celebrate: award-winning movie posters and film title sequences.

SXSW Film has partnered with AIGA to celebrate design for the film industry since early 2009, when AIGA Austin board member David Horridge helped launch the "SXSW Film/AIGA Austin Award for Excellence in Movie Poster Design."

Following the success of the inaugural poster award last year, Horridge pitched the idea of a broader umbrella film design award category that would include both poster design and title sequence design.

The SXSW Film team jumped at the idea and established the 2010 SXSW Film Design Awards-once again celebrating excellence in poster design and adding a special contest to discover the best in contemporary title sequence design.

"The movie poster has long been an important and exciting collaboration between filmmaker and designer," said Horridge.

"It's the opportunity for both to distill the auteur's story down to a single image that will both inspire and intrigue the audience at a glance.

We're thrilled to be able to highlight that work and build on it to include motion design."

An exhibition celebrating the Poster Awards was held at the Austin Museum of Art; finalists for the new "Excellence in Title Design" award were also on display.

Most sophisticated fighter plane in the world version dera study

None of the aircraft on Earth that could beat him. This is the F-22 Raptor, a futuristic fighter plane from generation to 5. What is the advantage definitive fighter of the 5th generation of this than the 4th generation (F-14 s / d F-18)? Here are some major advantages.





1. Stealth
The-art fighter plane is not going to look the enemy radar. If your plane can not be seen, then you will be almost impossible shot, dropped, and was defeated. The future of this technology mainly generated by the form of aircraft structural engineering and materials that absorb radar waves, RAM, Radar Absorbent Material.

2. Mini AWACS, "First-look, first-shot, first-kill"
F-22 aircraft has a radar with a range farther than other planes, even almost equal AWACS. This means that F-22 can see you long before you could see the plane. F-22 also has a system of super-sophisticated radar LPI (Low Probability of Intercept Radar), meaning aircraft that have been detected F-22 radar will not be able to know if he was detected and its warning radar will not light.

3. Super Manuverabilitas
F-22 Thrust vectoring technology in the tail, meaning the engine energy expenditure can be directed to the more mechanically flexible. This makes higher maneuverability.

4. Internal arms

F-22 weapons hidden in the plane, and only open when going to fire. This makes his Stealth level becomes higher, and aerodinamikanya make this aircraft fly faster and more efficiently.

Based on research from the Defense Evaluation And Research Agency, F-22 is the most sophisticated aircraft and the deadliest in the world, even 10 times more deadly than Russia's best aircraft at the moment, SU-35 (SU-37 is still a experimental).

Compared to European-art fighter aircraft Eurofighter Typhoon, F-22 two times more dangerous. This means that every single aircraft the F-22 could shoot down aircraft Typhoon 2. Whereas previous generations of American aircraft, F-16, could not possibly defeat the F-22 in any condition.
