Carnosaur 2
''Carnosaur 2'' is a 1995 action horror film directed by Louis Morneau, and the sequel to the 1993 film '' Carnosaur''. It is the second installment in the ''Carnosaur'' film series. It stars John Savage, Cliff DeYoung, Rick Dean, Ryan Thomas Johnson, Arabella Holzbog and Don Stroud. The film is about a team of technicians who go to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository to investigate problems concerning power and communications. They discover that the facility has been overrun by cloned dinosaurs. The film's plot shares many similarities with the 1986 film '' Aliens''. Before its predecessor had completed production, ''Carnosaur 2'' was already being planned by executive producer Roger Corman. Effects artist John Buechler returned for the sequel, which re-used his dinosaur models from the original ''Carnosaur''. Filming took place during an 18-day shoot, including a week of filming at a power plant near Castaic Lake in California. ''Carnosaur 2'' was released direct-to-v ...

Louis Morneau
Louis Morneau is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. Life Morneau has been described as a "graduate of the Roger Corman school". He is the director of various B/ cult films, including what Dread Central calls ’the notoriously terrible’ ''Bats'', in 1999, a film, however, praised by Mark F. Berry in his book about dinosaur films, in which this author considers that ''Bats'' is a ’handsome and misunderstood fifties-monster homage’’, explaining Morneau's personal style by his former career as film editor. The B movie French site sees in him a "yes man", who "is not inherently bad, but (who) will quickly specialize in broke direct-to-video (''Bats'', '' Hitcher II)''.". Morneau is also known for being "the man behind horror sequels '' Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead'', ''The Hitcher: I've Been Waiting'','' Carnosaur 2''". After ''Carnosaur 2'' in 1995, he directed '' Retroactive'', and ''Made Men'' the year after, both starring Jim Belushi, the latter also s ...

Foam Latex
Foam latex or latex foam rubber is a lightweight form of latex containing bubbles known as cells, created from liquid latex. The foam is generally created though the Dunlop or Talalay process in which a liquid latex is foamed and then cured in a mold to extract the foam. Structural enhancements are applied to a foam by making different choices of polymers used for the foam or through the use of fillers in the foam. Historically, natural rubber latex is used for the foam, but a similar commercial contender is styrene-butadiene latex, which is especially designed for use in latex foams. Mineral fillers may also be used for the enhancement of properties like stability, load bearing, or flame resistance, but these fillers often come at the cost of lowered tensile strength and extension at break, which are generally desirable properties in the product. Latex foam has properties of energy absorption, thermal conductivity, and compression that make them suitable for many commercial appl ...

Steadicam
Steadicam is a brand of camera stabilizer mounts for motion picture cameras invented by Garrett Brown and introduced in 1975 by Cinema Products Corporation. The Steadicam brand was acquired by Tiffen in 2000. It was designed to isolate the camera from the camera operator's movement, keeping the camera motion separate and controllable by a skilled operator. History Before the camera stabilizing system, a director had a number of choices for moving (or "tracking") shots: # The camera could be mounted on a dolly, a wheeled mount that rolls on specialized tracks or a smooth surface. # The camera could be mounted on a crane, a counterweighted arm that could move the camera vertically and horizontally. # The camera operator shot hand-held which would produce footage suitable mostly for reportage used in documentaries, news, or live action; for unrehearsed or practice footage; or for the evocation of authentic immediacy—e.g. '' cinéma vérité'' style—during dramatic se ...

Telescopic Handler
A telescopic handler, also called a telehandler, teleporter, reach forklift, or zoom boom, is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (telescopic cylinder), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or winch. History The first telescopic handler was believed to have been manufactured by French company Sambron in 1957. In 1971, Liner Construction Equipment of Hull launched the Giraffe 4WD, 4WS telehandler based on a design by Matbro who created a similar machine based on their articulated forestry machines. JCB launched their 2WD, rear steer Loadall in October 1977. The JCB 520 was originally aimed at construction sites, the potential for agricultural uses soon followed. JCB sold 100,000 units by Uses In industry, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tyrannosaurus Rex
''Tyrannosaurus'' () is a genus of large theropoda, theropod dinosaur. The type species ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' ( meaning 'king' in Latin), often shortened to ''T. rex'' or colloquially t-rex, is one of the best represented theropods. It lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. ''Tyrannosaurus'' had a much wider range than other Tyrannosauridae, tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of geological formations dating to the latest Campanian-Maastrichtian Age (geology), ages of the late Cretaceous Period (geology), period, 72.7 to 66 mya (unit), million years ago, with isolated specimens possibly indicating an earlier origin in the middle Campanian. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids and among the last non-Bird, avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Like other tyrannosaurids, ''Tyrannosaurus'' was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crash (computing)
In computing, a crash, or system crash, occurs when a computer program such as a software application or an operating system stops functioning properly and exits. On some operating systems or individual applications, a crash reporting service will report the crash and any details relating to it (or give the user the option to do so), usually to the developer(s) of the application. If the program is a critical part of the operating system, the entire system may crash or hang, often resulting in a kernel panic or fatal system error. Most crashes are the result of a software bug. Typical causes include accessing invalid memory addresses, incorrect address values in the program counter, buffer overflow, overwriting a portion of the affected program code due to an earlier bug, executing invalid machine instructions (an illegal or unauthorized opcode), or triggering an unhandled exception. The original software bug that started this chain of events is typically considere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
