Don’t Believe Everything You See on TV

The clip below, released by Stargate Industries, shows some demo shots that they have done for some TV shots.
Mother was right when she told you not to believe everything you see on TV.
The demo reel is very impressive. When I saw some of these scenes on TV it never came into my head that the scenes were created using a green screen.
This allows the shows to save lots of money on creating on shows (the idea would be to spend it elsewhere but I guess it is more about saving money for staff and producers).
Downloading and Discovering TV shows Easier than Ever

Living on a small island, such as Malta, means that you are usually behind the trend in almost everything. The local television in Malta is quite appalling. Recently I saw a breakfast show called “Hadd Ghalik” and I almost had to rip my eyes out. I turn to foreign programming to entertain me during my morning rituals. Since Malta is so small and in Europe means that most programs shown are behind. However, recently I was surprised to see that a show I watch was being shown on a local network and it was only a couple of months old.
Being able to download movies and television programs is a must for the enthusiastic DVD night people. Being the president of this club I decided to show you the easiest way to obtain these episodes. All you have to worry about is preparing snacks and the ice cold beer.
There is a freeware program called “ted” (torrent episode downloader). Ted can find episodes of any TV show you like to watch. Just add your favourite shows to ted and it will search for the newest episodes and downloads them for you. Ted uses bit torrent and RSS technology to get you the newest episodes as fast as possible.
With ted you still need a bit torrent client to download the torrent files but this program will allow you to find the torrent files easily and quickly. Also it allows you to discover new shows to watch. Once you add a show to your list it will tell you when a new show comes out and gives you the torrent file for it.
My favourite bit torrent programs are Azureus and uTorrent.
Now people can stop coming to me and asking me for my files. You know who you are
