Worth a Look

Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...

Hollywood Braces for Production Logjam Post-Virus: "There’s Going to Be So Much Jockeying"

Hollywood Reporter: Within days in mid-March, soundstages in the U.S. went from bustling hubs to abandoned ghost towns as the novel coronavirus forced studios to shut down filming. “There is nothing like being the only person on a movie lot,” says Mark Nicholas, one of few people able to keep working at Manhattan Beach Studios in Southern California in order to assist in the live-streaming of local mayor and sheriff news addresses. “It’s deathly quiet and feels very much like The Walking Dead.”


To See or Not to See Feminism in the Works of Shakespeare

The Mary Sue: When we look at works from a different era, it’s often hard to judge them by our modern standards of feminism and progressiveness. There are a lot of great works of art that are terrible when it comes to their gender politics or their subtext (or main text) about race. That’s just something we have to deal with when it comes to art in a world that is constantly evolving and changing.


Computer Vision Deployed to Monitor Social Distancing on Jobsites

2020-04-03 | Engineering News-Record: Working on a construction site during a viral pandemic can be a harrowing experience, given the close quarters that workers often find themselves in. General rules about social distancing easy to maintain on sidewalks can be more stressful when clambering around a crowded active jobsite.


The Forgotten Art of Assembly

Nicholas Berger - Medium: It’s 11 am. Outside, the city is quiet and the high, pale cast of light is in the window. Inside, a feeling of exhilaration shoots through my body. I’ve successfully made it through the New York State unemployment website, a triumph so sizeable I no longer feel the need to do anything that even resembles productivity for the rest of the day. I, like many other theatre artists, have been laid off from the patchwork of employment that pays my rent and have had all artistic projects put on hold indefinitely.


The Perfect Bedtime Story

SoundGirls.org: I, like many of you, hit the “buy” button immediately once Women in Audio by Leslie Gaston-Bird was published. A textbook about us, for us, and most importantly, by us! Reading a textbook has never been this empowering. Well, given my other SoundGirls articles, it is in good company. SoundGirls has an assortment of them in their lending library.
