After having One Day more stuck in my head for two straight weeks I recalled this collection of Val Jean's singing parts of "Do You Hear the People Sing?" in their native languages. Enjoy!

Friday Fun: In FRENCH!
Students have been asking a lot lately about me playing the World of Warcraft in the evening. I'm guessing it's a way to mock me.
Well.... would they mock the world renowned martial arist and action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme?

Talk about Math: Forced Perspective
In geometry we've been talking a lot about the use of camera tricks to create various optional illusions related to scale. One trick often employed in the theatre is to use different scaled back drops and flats to make the stage appear to be deeper than it really is by having the scaling shrink as you move away from the action. Only if an actor walks upstage and stands next to the small scale tree do you realize that the tree is not 40 feet away, but only 10.
It's nearly impossible to talk about these kind of scalings without talking about The Lord of the Rings, a cinematic masterpiece that combined computers and cutting edge digital technology as well as some good old fashioned 1920's era camera manuevers to create the illusion that Elija Wood was a 4 foot hobbit, towered over by Ian McKellen's Gandalf.
