Films For Action
Just imagine what could become possible if an entire city had seen just one of the documentaries above. Just imagine what would be possible if everyone in the country was aware of how unhealthy the mainstream media was for our future and started turning to independent sources in droves. Creating a better world really does start with an informed citizenry, and there's lots of subject matter to cover. From all the documentaries above, it's evident that our society needs a new story to belong to. The old story of empire and dominion over the earth has to be looked at in the full light of day - all of our ambient cultural stories and values that we take for granted and which remain invisible must become visible. But most of all, we need to see the promise of the alternatives - we need to be able to imagine new exciting ways that people could live, better than anything that the old paradigm could ever dream of providing. So take this library of films and use it.

Comedy Central Launches Stand Up App So You Can Watch All Your Favorite Comedians And Discover New Ones Comedy Central has released a standalone app for watching and discovering awesome stand-up comedians. The app, called CC:Standup, has more than 6,000 videos from 700 comedians. That will allow stand-up fans not just to find hilarious clips from their favorite comedians, but to find others that they might not have known about. The app takes advantage of a huge library of stand-up content that Comedy Central has stored in its vaults. Ben Hurst, VP of Mobile and Emerging Platforms at Comedy Central, told me that the app is just one way that Comedy Central is trying to expand its brand and engage with millennials. When you first open the app, you’re greeted with a curated playlist of standup material. To that end, the app has a search page that will let you search for individual comedians and let you just watch all their content. Anyway, the best part of the app is that it’s free.

skin tones for painting C olor mixing is one of the most difficult aspects of painting. Back in Holbein's day it wasn't too difficult simply because there were so few colors from which to chose. Today's huge spectrum of colors makes choosing colors difficult. Should I choose a red that stays warm when mixed with white or should I choose one that becomes cool when mixed with white? Confusing? Caucasian flesh tones are composed of yellows and reds with greys added to neutralize certain areas. The head can be divided into three areas: forehead, cheeks and jaw. The ears, cheeks and nose (as well as the mouth) have an ample blood supply that makes them red. The area under the nose - the jaw, has the most neutral color. The neck should be slightly neutralized. The accompanying illustrations were done to show those tonal transitions, thus all of the transitions are more obvious than they should be. The following illustrations were sketched out in gouache rather than oils but the same principles apply.

All Documentaries Welcome to the Must Watch section. It is our understanding that for a truly democratic society to exist, there must be a free flow of easily accessible information. For the most part (not including heavy censorship in China), the Internet has allowed for this free flow of information to everyone and anyone with access to the internet and it is imperative that this right continues to be protected. Unfortunately, the principle of free flowing information does not exist in the mainstream media because our governments continue to allow large corporations to consolidate the entire media industry. For this reason, many facts, perspectives, and opinions do not make it to our televisions, movie theatres, newspapers, and radio stations. The documentaries below epitomize the importance of free flowing information and the lack of it in mainstream media. Please take the time to educate yourself and to educate others about the important issues raised in each of the documentaries.
