How did you shoot the scene in Terminator 2 where there are two Sarah Connors at once?

Terminator 2: Judgment Day was a breakthrough film in terms of the use of visual effects, including the first use of motion capture technology for computer-generated character generation. However, for the shooting of the scene where there are two Sarah Connors in the frame - the real one and reproduced by the Terminator, special special effects were not required. The second Sarah was played by the twin sister of Linda Hamilton, who had never been an actress before. Also, two twin brothers starred in the scene where the Terminator mimics a guard in a mental hospital.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who invented the telephone?

Antonio Meucci. An eccentric, but sometimes simply outstanding Florentine inventor came to the United States in 1850. In 1860, Meucci first demonstrated a working model of an electrical device, which he called the teletrofono ("teletrophone"). In 1871 - five years before Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone - he filed a provisional application (a kind of provisional patent) for the invention.

In the same year, Meucci receives a severe burn when the boiler of the ferry to Staten Island explodes. Poor in English and living only on unemployment benefits, Meucci was never able to find $10 to renew his application in 1874.

When Bell's patent was registered in 1876, Meucci sued. The fact is that two years before that, the Italian sent original sketches and working models to the laboratory of the large American telegraph company Western Union. By a strange coincidence, Bell worked in the same laboratory, and all the models sent by Meucci mysteriously disappeared. Meucci died in poverty in 1889, never having lived to see the decision of the court in his suit against Alexander Bell. As a result, all the glory of the invention of the telephone went not to Meucci, but to Bell. In 2004, the balance was partially restored. The lower house of the US Congress adopted a resolution "on the need to pay tribute to the life and achievements of Antonio Meucci and recognize his merits in the invention of the telephone."

And it's not that Bell was such a notorious fraudster. For example, while still a young man, he taught his dog to say "How are you, ba?" - a kind of communication when Bella's grandmother was somewhere in another room. And he turned the phone into a practical tool.

Like his friend Thomas Edison, Bell was tireless in his pursuit of the new. And, like Edison, these searches were not always successful. His metal detector, for example, was unable to locate the bullet in the body of the wounded President James Garfield. Apparently, the machine was confused by the metal springs in the presidential mattress.

Bell's foray into animal genetics was driven by his desire to increase the incidence of twins and triplets in sheep. He noticed that sheep with more than two nipples give birth to more twins. But he managed to achieve only sheep with a large number of nipples.

On a positive note, Bell did help invent the hydrofoil, the H.P.4, which in 1919 set the world water speed record at 114 km/h for ten years. Bell himself was eighty-two at the time, so the inventor prudently refused to come on board.

Bell always referred to himself as a "teacher of the deaf". His mother and wife suffered from deafness, and among his students was Helen Keller, a well-known member of the American Society for the Blind and the author of a number of books. She dedicated her autobiography to him.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Hypersonic passenger aircraft 28.08.2015

The US Patent and Trademark Office has granted a patent application by Marco Prampolini and Yohann Coraboeuf for an "ultra-fast air vehicle and associated method of aerial locomotion." As the assignee in the patent, the European aerospace consortium EADS, of which Airbus is a part, is indicated. In other words, Airbus has just received a patent for a hypersonic passenger aircraft that is designed to fly above 20 km at Mach 4.

According to the patent, the aircraft is actually a flying tanker, the main part of the fuselage of which is filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. In front of the aircraft is a cabin for 24 passengers, and in the very nose of the cockpit. The aircraft is a "Gothic" delta wing, behind which are placed trapezoidal vertical stabilizers. Their task, in addition to the normal function of the elevators, is to change the center of gravity of the aircraft as the fuel burns.

The main distinguishing feature of the aircraft is its set of engines of various types. During takeoff, the aircraft will use conventional turbojet engines. When approaching one Mach, the turbojet engines turn off and retract into the fuselage. A rocket-powered hatch will open at the rear of the vehicle, propelling the aircraft upward in a near-vertical trajectory. At the end of the acceleration stage, the aircraft speed will reach Mach 4 - 4,5 at an altitude of 30 to 000 m. At this moment, the rocket engine will be turned off and retracted back into the aircraft body, and a ramjet engine will start working instead of it, which will will allow the plane to fly from Paris to San Francisco in three hours.

Thanks to the design of the wing-fuselage, the sonic boom wave is scattered over a space with a length of 100 to 175 km at an angle of 11-15 degrees and does not reach the Earth. At the end of the flight, descent and landing will again be carried out using turbojet engines.
