CGI

RAnderson:

CGI is a technique used for special effects in [[films]] and [[animation]]. It stands for 'computer generated imagery'. CGI is made by rendering a model on a [[computer]] and animating it. Like a computerized version of [[stop motion]. Recent advances in [[computer]] technology have allowed for more realistic effects and even full movies made only through CGI. Examples of films produced fully in CGI include the [[toy Story]] series and many of
Pixar and Dreamwork's films. There are two types of CGI. Shell frame animation and solid frame animation. Shell frame animation is used in most [[video games]] and works by rendering a shell in the computer and then putting a texture over it and animating it. It is typically unrealistic and blocky, but it is also easier to use. Solid frame animation works by rendering the entire object instead of just a shell and is used for movies more often than not. There is also motion-capture CGI in which an actor is filmed then the computer put the CGI image on top of the actor's image. This is used in live action films where prosthetics cannot finnish the job.

Role model

2013-06-15T20:45:11Z

RAnderson:

A '''role model''' is a person who serves as a model in a particular behavioral or social role for another [[person]] to emulate.
Some people have different ideas of what constitutes as a role model and when their examples should be followed, but the general agreement is that a role model is someone who is kind, decent, honest and wise. The ultimate role model is Jesus, whose example is followed to this very day. Jesus is the ultimate role model because he was without sin. Some people believe different standards are to be followed when choosing a role model, but most people try to take after Christ to some degree.
