Director Alfonso Cuarón's space survival epic Gravity is a study in contradiction. Bleeding edge effects sit side-by-side with some of the oldest techniques in film, while the camera ignores a stable horizon similar to avant garde films over 40 years old. This video essay looks at what gives the film and its simple story such emotional weight.
Having shot in Russia, Alaska, and the Arctic Circle, adventure photographer Chris Burkard is no stranger to the elements. This trip to Iceland seemed no different until the largest storm in 25 years started coming their way. Although it looked like getting the perfect shot was out of the question, those 160 mile per hour winds brought in an incredible surf under the greatest light show on the planet: the Aurora Borealis.
Your drink preference can say a lot about you. It's no different for movie characters. Although there are many famous film cocktails — Martinis, White Russians, Sweet Vermouth on the rocks with a twist — there's also a popular nonalcoholic beverage you're probably overlooking: milk. The protein rich dairy drink is littered all throughout film to convey innocence and purity or, when consumed by an adult, a creepy sign of strength.

It's only fitting that Seinfeld — the show about nothing — had a theme song that was basically nothing. Composer Jonathan Wolff, who has written theme songs for over 44 shows, not only created the theme, but played slight variations thereof for every episode to match the flow of Jerry's opening monologue. Wolff describes his process for creating the iconic music, and how it almost didn't make it into the show.
Canadian writer Matthew Villegas took the New Year's polar plunge to the next level. Under the surface of the frozen Morrison quarry in Quebec, Villegas skated along in some surreal scenery.

We all want to believe in magic. But like so many things from our childhood, there are concrete explanations of how the things that used to mystify us work. A prime example is the Nintendo Light Gun. The 8-Bit Guy explains how the closely related NES zapper and lesser-known Commodore 64 Light Pen use relatively simple electronics to perform functions that were ahead of their time.
