WWW.ARCHITECTURALDIGEST.COM9 Stemless Wine Glasses for Mess-Free EntertainingThe best stemless wine glasses approach vino with a more laid-back perspective. For those with dogs, children, any kind of uncertain variables, or a poor sense of balance, a stemless silhouette for easier gripping allows you to enjoy your merlot without fear of toppling it. And while traditional crystal options are valuable to have on hand if the function is formal, many stemless wine glasses are shatterproof, meaning you won’t have to worry about missing a shard when sweeping up glass in the middle of hosting duties.Our favorite thing about these stemless wine glasses is that they’re also perfectly suitable for everything else: Water, margaritas, even a cup of juice should your little ones want to get in on the elegance. From shorter, bar-style tumblers that will make tap water (or rosé!) feel extra chic, to plastic drinkware that would be ideal for outdoor summer gatherings—we’ve rounded up some glasses that prove that stubbier vessels for wine can be just as elevated as the traditional kind. We’ve also made sure to check off best-sellers, including glasses from brands like Spiegelau and Duralex, as well as trend-defying styles that you’ll have in the cupboard for years to come.Our Top Picks for the Best Stemless Wine GlassesBest Everyday Set: Bormioli Rocco Bodega Glasses (Set of 18), $80Best Dishwasher-Safe Crystal Set: Spiegelau Authentis Wine Glasses (Set of 4), $38Best Wide-Mouth Set: Zwiesel Glas Pure Stemless Red Wine Glass (Set of 6), $100For More Personality: Fazeek Limited Edition Confetti Glasses (Set of 2), $90The Luxury Set: NasonMoretti Dot Glass by Giovanni Patalano, $90Bormioli Rocco Essential Decor Glassware (Set of 18)Bormioli Rocco is the most ubiquitous of the stemless wineglasses out there. You’ve likely seen them in your travels, foreign and domestic, and there’s a reason for that! The company has been making glassware in Italy since 1825, and these tumblers, made of tempered glass, are incredibly affordable and durable, not to mention dishwasher-safe. Choose between fluted or glass options, or between sets of 18 or 36.Spiegelau Authentis Wine Glasses (Set of 4)Allow us to get serious for a moment. If you came here to find top-of-the-line stemless wine tumblers in their most basic form, we’d recommend Spiegelau. With a storied history dating back to 1521, these lead-free crystal makes these glasses durable and break-resistant, and still dishwasher-safe. For those who love a light and airy glass, one that feels rich and ancient and ethereal in your hand, this is for you.Zwiesel Glas Pure Stemless Red Wine Glass (Set of 6)This six-set of stemless wine glasses from storied glassmaker Zwiesel Glas are best suitable for reds (though we won’t say anything if you’re using these for an extra-aerated white). The wide shape feels elegant in-hand, and looks even more so resting on the table, but what we really love is their enhanced breaking resistance, making them baby-proof, dog-proof, generally chaos-proof.Fazeek Limited Edition Confetti Glasses (Set of 2)We’re breaking the strictly stemless rules for this set. Fazeek is a Melbourne-based brand creating whimsical and functional designs, like this set of confetti glasses at the top of our wishlist. These feel like an appropriately festive alternative to champagne glasses, though of course, they have their own fluted (and pink!) take on those too.NasonMoretti Dot Glass by Giovanni PatalanoGood wine tastes better in a glass you can’t take your eyes off of. From Venetian glassmaker Nason Moretti, these glasses are punctuated by a three-dimensional dot at their base that contrast the basic spherical design of the glass. The dots come in six color variations, so you can mix and match your set, or keep a uniform look for all your cabernet needs. We’d recommend a hand wash in this case, if only because you don’t want something so beautiful to break in the dishwasher’s mayhem.Pottery Barn Moroccan Handcrafted Recycled Drinking Glasses (Set of 6)If you’re a fan of the casual feel of the bodega glass but want to add a little color to your barware, this baby blue set from Morocco will bring a lighthearted touch to whatever you’re serving up.West Elm Horizon Stemless Wine Glass (Set of 4)There’s nothing old-fashioned about the angular shape of this wine glass—also made of lead-free crystal in Germany—suitable for both red and white wines. The modern design will give any kind of dinnerware setup a sculptural upgrade.Duralex Le Picardie Clear Tumbler (Set of 6)These drinking glasses are just as suitable for a strong pour as they are for brunch hour. French-made, time-tested brand Duralex is known for these toxin-free, chip-resistant tumblers that are both charming and accessible. They’re also dishwasher-safe and can hold hot or cold drinks.Schott Zwiesel Glas Pure Longdrink Glass (Set of 6)Really elevate your stemless glassware game with these champagne flutes. Something about them just feels like summer, and they would be as great for sparkling water and lime as they would for vino. They are made of Tritan crystal, which means that they are durable—so go ahead and clink these cocktail glasses for any toast.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 10 Views

TECHCRUNCH.COMStop doomscrolling and watch the ‘Great Moose Migration’ livestreamYou could say that TikTok is ruining our attention spans, and yet, viewers around the world are tuning in to watch a monotonous livestream from a Swedish TV station that they’ve probably never heard of. It’s time for the Great Moose Migration. For thousands of years, moose have crossed the Ångerman River each spring, trekking to a warmer summer habitat. But since 2019, the whole world can watch along for three weeks as Sweden’s SVT broadcaster airs its livestream of the migration online, using over 30 cameras to catch all of the painstakingly slow action. For the most part, the livestream shows tranquil scenes of forests and rivers, and if you’re lucky, you just might glimpse a passing moose, blissfully unaware of its international superstardom. It’s just a moose, trudging along without a care in the world. Most of the time, the stream is nearly silent. Other times, you’ll hear the wind gust and the birds chirp. It’s nice, even if you forget you left the livestream tab open on your computer and get jumpscared by a flock of creatures thousands of miles away. As one Swedish student told the AP: “I feel relaxed, but at the same time I’m like, ‘Oh, there’s a moose. Oh, what if there’s a moose? I can’t go to the toilet!’” Even overnight, the stream continues. Lack of sunlight, be damned — night vision cameras will make sure we see every last bit of moose content. However, the stark black and white image evokes “The Blair Witch Project” more than National Geographic. But a spooky moose sighting is still a moose sighting. Last year, 9 million viewers tuned into SVT’s moose stream. By comparison, the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week saw more than 22 million viewers in 2023. Considering that SVT is just streaming live feeds of nature with a 15-person staff, that’s a pretty impressive comparison. What makes this kind of livestream so compelling is that it’s so drastically different from what we’re normally exposed to on the internet. Your TikTok feed shows you bite-sized videos so specifically tailored to your interests that it’s hard to look away. YouTubers meticulously edit their videos to keep us engaged for as long as possible. But the moose don’t want anything from us. They don’t even know we’re here, cheering them on.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 8 Views

WWW.AWN.COMScanline VFX Shares ‘Back in Action’ VFX Breakdown ReelScanline VFX has shared with AWN and VFXWorld a visual effects breakdown reel highlighting its work on Netflix’s adventure-comedy, Back in Action. Directed by Seth Gordon, the film stars Jamie Foxx as Matt and Cameron Diaz as Emily, two CIA spies, who years after giving up that life to start a family, find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown. Led by VFX supervisor Jan Krupp, the leading VFX house delivered 235 visual effects shots across the film. Scanline VFX delivered a wide range of visual effects on the show, supporting several of the most action-intensive sequences, including digital environment creation, water simulation, CG explosion, and CG enhancements such as muzzle flashes, smoke, bullet hits and ragdoll simulations. One of the film’s pivotal sequences unfolds inside London’s Tate Modern Museum. In this fight sequence, several large glass art installations are destroyed as part of the stunt choreography. According to Kopp, “While some of the breaking glass was captured practically on location with stunt doubles, we digitally recreated the shattering glass to enhance realism and provide greater control over timing, lighting, and continuity.” The film’s signature chase sequence takes place along — and on — the River Thames, involving multiple layers of visual effects. “This sequence begins with Matt and Emily pursuing a boat along the riverbank on dirt bikes,” Kopp explains. “The actors performed the chase on rigged bikes in front of a bluescreen. We composited these performances into background plates filmed along the Thames, adjusting for lighting differences and syncing the rig movements with the dynamic background action. The sequence also included a digital double for one of the villains, used in a dramatic crash scene that combined live-action and CG for a realistic but safe execution.” The chase continues on the water, with Matt and Emily transitioning to a speedboat in pursuit of the kidnappers. Kopp adds, “Live-action plates were captured across various locations using several different setups. These included actors and stunts performed in water tanks, boats mounted on gimbals in front of bluescreens, and practical footage shot at river docks and multiple real-world locations along the Thames. To unify these elements into a single seamless sequence, we digitally replaced or augmented many of the practical components. This included adding digital doubles to the stunt work, the addition and enhancement of CG boats, and extensive water simulation to create realistic interaction between the boats, water, and actors. In many shots, the Thames River itself was fully recreated in CG to ensure consistency in lighting, perspective, and motion.” One of the more complex challenges Scanline faced involved constructing a coherent digital environment for the chase that would support the changing locations of the story; the sequence required a custom layout that combined different environments across London into a single, visually seamless path. This included a digital recreation of the iconic Thames Barrier and surrounding architecture. “To achieve this, we used a combination of 3D buildings, 2.5D projection setups using location plates, stitched footage, and digital matte paintings,” says Kopp. “The goal was to create an invisible environment replacement that remained photoreal while allowing for flexible editorial timing and geography.” Kopp concludes by describing the climactic moments of the sequence, when the kidnappers’ boat crashes into the Thames Barrier. “While plates were shot on location, we replaced parts of the barrier, animated the movement of its gates, and added CG water and explosions to complete the dramatic payoff. These effects were designed to blend seamlessly with the live-action footage while delivering the scale and intensity needed for the scene’s resolution.” Source: Scanline VFX Dan Sarto is Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Animation World Network.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views
