Sometimes, new users don’t realize that they need to set the layer to the full length of the comp, which can make the layer “disappear.” This is especially common when using pre-comps, because the behavior of a pre-comp inside of a comp will effect the main comp. You see, your AE timeline reads from left to right, and as you know each layer can be set to turn on or off anywhere in the timeline. Usually it’s just a rogue keyframe to blame-you may have accidentally set the size or opacity to zero, or-more likely-the layer endpoint is coming up before the end of the comp. If your layers keep disappearing, a few things could be at play. Mistake #1: The Case of the Disappearing Layers To help you avoid these pesky problems, we’ve compiled a list of the ten biggest and most common AE mistakes out there-and how to avoid them. You’re happily animating away, minding your own business, when suddenly-bam! You get hit with a weird error message, or your layer disappears…and why isn’t the mask tool working anyway? After Effects can be a complicated program, and while customizable After Effects templates and internet tutorials can help anyone get the ball rolling, there are still a few ins and outs that can elude even advanced animators and FX artists.

We don’t have to be obnoxious about it-we just have to demonstrate that we’re there, we’re listening, and that romance fiction is relevant. And the easiest way I can think of to be visible at the festival is to attend panels and ask questions that speak to the romance genre. There would be no compelling reason for SWF to incorporate romance panels if the organisers feel that the audience would not support them. So I think one of the easiest and most effective things we can do as romance readers is to attend the festival and be visible. We’ve been brainstorming ways to increase the level of awareness for romance at SWF. The amount of support we have received on Twitter, Facebook and here on the blog tells me that the support for romance is strong. If you haven’t read Gabby’s open letter to the SWF, it’s a great place to start. If you’ve been following our Twitter feed over the last few days, you’ll know that romance readers have been let down-yet again-by the Sydney Writers’ Festival, which features a program that completely ignores romance authors. I’m thinking your romance programming (or lack thereof) sucks. The Poems of Robert Browning by Robert Browning.The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.The Last Of The Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.The Hunchback Of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.Tales From The Arabian Nights by Richard Burton.A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man by James Joyce.The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. Moby Dick, or The Whale by Herman Melville.The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne.If it were, over 90% of the books would be marked as read. This is not the same as the number of books from this list that I've read in other editions over the years. For later review/collection purposes, I'm going to list the 100 books, then bold the books I've bought in that edition which I've read (italics for those now owned but not yet read and plain text for books left to be acquired). As some of you already know from previous posts, I've begun collecting the Easton Press series of leatherbound, gilt-edged books, The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written. No one must know or they both will be banished from their tribe. Mari, the product of their union, must hide her Companion features with clay and dye her wheat-colored hair dark. Her father was a Companion, a man whose tribe killed him for loving an Earth Walker. Mari has a secret that she must keep from the tribe with her mother’s help: she is only half Earth Walker. These washings must take place every three days to keep the tribe mentally healthy. When it comes to the men, it cures them of Night Fever (madness). When it comes to women, it cures them of melancholia. The Moon Woman is responsible for using the power of the moon to “Wash” the other members of the tribe. She lives in a burrow with her mother, Leda, the Moon Woman of her tribe of Earth Walkers. There are definitely going to be parts you don’t understand at first but make sense later as they all come together. Let’s get to the meat of the novel…įirst thing you need to know: just like the byline says, these are “tales of a new world.” So there’s going to be confusion. I can already tell based on some of what you had to say when I mentioned I was reading it. My opinion on this book is not going to be popular. This review can be found on my Blog, TeacherofYA’s Tumblr, or my Goodreads pageįirst of all, I must recognize the beauty of this cover. Title: Moon Chosen (Tales of a New World, #1) Her library was impressive, with many examples of her own bookbinding.Audrey was an extravagant socialite and renowned beauty, the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII (though she was also rumoured to be his daughter, or the lover of King Edward VIII), featured in the 'Book of Beauty' by Cecil Beaton. In 1940 she bought Julians Park and redesigned the interior. After being widowed at 25, Audrey married the fabulously wealthy American department store heir, Marshall Field III, later divorcing him and marrying the Honorable Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. A first edition, first impression.In the original unclipped dustwrapper.An intriguing historical fiction novel by Anthony Burgess, set in the heart of Elizabethan England, investigating the suspicious death of the playwright Christopher Marlowe, and looking into the unique life of the important figure.Burgess is best known for his dystopian satire 'A Clockwork Orange'.From the library at Julians Park, Hertfordshire, once the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. A fine first edition, first impression, of this historical fiction novel by Anthony Burgess, following the mysterious death of Christopher Marlowe. Arriving in Edinburgh, Scotland, Cassidy meets another girl who can cross over to the Veil, and there she learns that she is one of those responsible for sending off the ghosts so that they can find the peace they have been searching for. Her mother and father are authors of ghost stories and when their most popular book series gets turned into a television series, their journey to the world’s most haunted places begin. There she can interact with ghosts from hundreds of years ago. With her ghost friend, Jacob, Cassidy often crosses over to the other side, namely the Veil. They were the perfect books to get me out of my reading slump.Ĭity of Ghosts starts off with a young girl named Cassidy Blake who, after almost dying, sees ghosts. I have been wanting to read this series for such a long time, and I am so happy I binged read them a while back. And his budding internal conflict nicely complements all the external conflict. Not only is he a fun character, he doesn’t know as much about what is going on as the other characters, helping shield the reader from details more impactfully revealed later. The story is told entirely in the first person from Kinch’s perspective. They intentionally add the apprentice of a powerful sorcerous and unintentionally add a fearsome assassin with the oddest hiding spot along the way. She also has need to cross half the continent to a country that has been invaded by giants. Galva is a knight who doesn’t have a horse, but she has something better-a giant warbird. It is that debt that leads him to attempt to waylay the wrong woman on a remote road and to accompany her on her quest after. Which has left him with many, many useful skills (including the ability to cast a few cantrips), but also with a mountain of debt. Not just any thief, a guild-trained thief. It is already on my short list for best books of the year, and would be even if I actually had time to properly keep up with my reading. There is epic fantasy-scale worldbuilding with pulp sensibilities, magic and mayhem, death and despair and hope. And we do indeed get a giant warbird (if not quite so much as we might hope or dream), but The Blacktongue Thief is so much more than that. Buehlman had me at “stag-sized battle ravens.” That alone was enough to make me jump at an ARC of The Blacktongue Thief when offered one by the publisher. Overall, I found the ending so strong that it has made me super excited for the final book to be released. I really love the unique concepts that are used in these books, the use of memories in this one had the psychologist in me absolutely enthralled. I found some parts to be so incredibly moving that my heart ached. The last handful of chapters really blew me away and had me feeling all sorts of emotions.Īlthough I had guessed the twist during the first book, I still felt excited when all was revealed. That being said, things started ramping up around half way through and continued to improve for me as the book went on. I don’t know if it was my mood when I picked this up, but I found the plot was slower and less exciting than the first book. I had forgotten who one of the characters was, although that was quickly rectified as they played a large role in this book. I struggled to get into this book initially. But, is it possible for her to ever be truly free and is she safe from those who want her for their own gains? Eve and Bram fight for her freedom from the life she has been forced to live. The Eve Illusion starts right where the first book finished. In this book I had the opposite problem, I initially struggled but loved the end. I initially loved the first book but found myself struggling more with it towards the end. |
