STRIKES BACK is wrapped!

"Didn't you shoot the film back in January?" I hear you ask. Well, yes. But there were several pickup shots we needed to grab before we could officially call a wrap. Now that we finally have them in the can, we can focus on wrapping up the ADR and editing.

All we have to do then is mount a reshoot for A NEW HOPE before completing filming on DEATH.

It never ends...

Bikinis Turn 60!

bikinis

Way back in 1946 the modern bikini was revealed to the world in Paris by its French 'inventers', engineer Louis Reard and fashion designer Jacques Heim. Named after Bikini Atoll (the site of nuclear weapon tests in the Marchall Islands) on the reasoning that the burst of excitement it would cause would be like the atomic bomb! It is important to note however that although the name 'bikini' is 60 years old today, the actual two piece swimsuit has been around alot longer.

The famous "Bikini girls" mosaic found at Villa Romana del Casale (near Piazza Armerina, Sicily) shows women exercising. The mosaic is dated ca. 300 A.D. Two-piece garments worn by women for athletic purposes have also been observed on Greek urns and paintings, dated as early as 1400 BC.
