Yuen Woo-Ping
Mastering the law of Gravity
Was born 1945 in Guangzhou, China is a Chinese martial arts choreographer and film director, renowned as one of the most successful and influential figures in the world of Hong Kong action cinema. He is one of the inductees on the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong. Yuen is also a son of Yuen Siu-tien, a renowned martial arts film actor.
He achieved his first directing credit in 1978 on the seminal Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, starring Jackie Chan, followed quickly by Drunken Master. The films were smash hits, launching Jackie Chan as a major film star, turning Seasonal Films into a major independent production company, and starting a trend towards comedy in martial arts films that continues to the present day.
Yuen went on to work with such figures as Sammo Hung in Magnificent Butcher (1979), Yuen Biao in Dreadnaught (1981), Donnie Yen in Iron Monkey (1993), and Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in Tai Chi Master (1993), and Wing Chun (1994). Yuen's works, particularly his action choreography on Fist of Legend (1994), attracted the attention of the Wachowskis, who hired him as the martial arts choreographer on The Matrix (1999). The success of this collaboration, plus his action choreography on the following year's hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, made him a highly sought after figure in Hollywood. He went on to work on the Matrix sequels and Kill Bill (2003). More recent action choreography duties in Hong Kong cinema have included Kung Fu Hustle (2004), starring Stephen Chow, and Fearless (2006), starring Jet Li.
Yuen also choreographed the action sequences in The Forbidden Kingdom (2008), a Hollywood martial arts–adventure film, which was the first film to star together two of the best-known names in the martial arts film genre, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He worked as a fight choreography consultant on Ninja Assassin (2009).

Stunt behind the scene
Despite how easy it make look on screen, stunts are very dangerous work. Even if a lead actor has the ability and disire to do his own stunts, the film or television production's insurance company may consider the stunt too dangerous for the actor to do and require the use of a stunt performer for continued insurance coverage, because even with years of training, you could still be hurt or even killed in this profession.

JACKIE CHAN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTOR. I LIKE ALL HIS FILMS. MARTIAL ARTS IS BECOMING PART OF MY LIFE, BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS PRACTICING IT.
SHE IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND SHE DECIDED TO PRACTICE KARATE.
LAST SUNDAY SHE WAS IN A COMPETITION AND SHE WON.
THAT'S WHY I LIKE MARTIAL ARTS, SPECIALLY KARATE.

something important about special effects
Please read it...
The illusions or tricks of the eye used in thefilm, television, theatre, video game, andsimulator industries to simulate the imagined events in a story or virtual world are traditionally called special effects (often abbreviated as SFX, SPFX, or simply FX).
Special effects are traditionally divided into the categories of optical effects andmechanical effects. With the emergence of digital film-making tools a greater distinction between special effects and visual effects has been recognized, with "visual effects" referring to digital post-production and "special effects" referring to on-set mechanical effects and in-camera optical effects.
Optical effects (also called photographic effects), are techniques in which images or film frames are created photographically, either "in-camera" using multiple exposure,mattes, or the Schüfftan process, or in post-production processes using an optical printer. An optical effect might be used to place actors or sets against a different background.
Mechanical effects (also called practical orphysical effects) are usually accomplished during the live-action shooting. This includes the use of mechanized props, scenery, scale models, animatronics, pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects: creating physical wind, rain, fog, snow, clouds, etc. Making a car appear to drive by itself and blowing up a building are examples of mechanical effects. Mechanical effects are often incorporated into set design and makeup. For example, a set may be built with break-away doors or walls to enhance a fight scene, or prosthetic makeup can be used to make an actor look like a non-human creature.
Since the 1990s, computer generated imagery(CGI) has come to the forefront of special effects technologies. CGI gives film-makers greater control, and allows many effects to be accomplished more safely and convincingly—and even, as technology improves, at lower costs. As a result, many optical and mechanical effects techniques have been superseded by CGI.

I met a banker this week with the first name Carnarri (pronounced Canary – as in the bird). My first conversation with Carnarri was over the phone. I had all sorts of images of this banker. I never met a Carnarri before. Would he be tall and blond like Sesame Street’s Big Bird? With a profession as a banker (who I believe should be somewhat reserved and conservative), why didn’t he use his middle name? Could a banker with such a name be proficient in finances?
When I met Carnarri the following day, I realized the name suited him beautifully. He is tall, handsome and possesses an engaging brilliant smile. He is not however, flighty like a bird; instead he is graceful, had excellent manners and impeccably groomed.
As we chatted, he told me his mother arrived at the name while giving birth. After five minutes I was reminded about the power of a name in branding a company. Numerous persons have changed their names in order to become more accepting to the public. Actors and singers are perhaps the most well-known persons for changing their names.
| Examples of Actors Who Changed Their Names | |
| Birth name | New Name |
| Walden Robert Cassotto | Bobby Darin |
| Marion Michael Morrison | John Wayne |
| Dana Owens | Queen Latifah |
| Alan Alda | Alphonso D’Abruzzo |
| Cherilyn Sarkisian | Cher |
| William Michael Albert Broad | Billy Idol |
Actors and singers are the only persons who understand that names can attract or detract customers. Ralph Lifshitz didn’t think his name had enough panache for a business. He changed his name to Ralph Lauren. This master marketing maven (try saying that three time really fast) has transformed the way products are branded. His Polo brand has revolutionized global marketing. Consumers wear his logo with pride. Why? Because his products are superior and he built an outstanding brand. It all started with the company name – Ralph Lauren.
As we look at the fashion industry, some names were preordained to succeed. Gloria Vanderbilt made her fortune dressing women. The Vanderbilt name has international star quality for wealth, power, and brains. Her designs and talents took her empire straight to the fashion eclipse.
There isn’t a man, woman, teen or tween that doesn’t know about Victoria’s Secret. The store title brings up images of hidden dreams. The lingerie retailer fulfills the secret desires of men and women alike. The runway shows, catalogs, website and stores have transformed men and women’s purchasing patterns of lingerie.
The following is a list of guidelines when developing business names. These guidelines will work when naming a company, brand, label, or product.
- Make it brief: Think about the speed in which you drive past a business, click through a webpage, or walk down a street. Customers need to be able to read your company sign in a matter of seconds (not minutes). Long names may look pretty on the marquee but they are difficult to remember. For example, some of the most successful retailers have brief names. These include: Tiffany’s, Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Chanel, Target, Kohl’s. A consumer could be speeding down the street or playing dodge car in a taxi and still have time to read these company signs.
- Create a positive image: Positive images can be created through a word, a font, colors, and/or backgrounds. The following is the name of an actual company: “Anything Joe’s Barefoot” What do they sell? Any guesses? They sell personalized gifts for kids.
- Create visual appeal: Imagine your company sign above your building doorway. Does it look visually appealing from afar? Does it represent your desired image? If not, the company name needs to be rebranded. Visual appeal is definitely a subjective topic. Top considerations include the location, target market, and merchandise products carried.
- Be consistent: Spread the news that your company is conducting business. In other words, the company name should be on everything. The number one rule to this marketing tip is to be consistent. Use of the same font, color, and style is critical. Train your customers to readily point out every time they see your company logo, brand or name. For example, the Gucci name and logo are used on all signs, packaging, websites and promotional materials. Consumers interested in fashion can spot a Gucci product with a blink of the eye.
- Be unique: Avoid using a name that is used by another company. A name that even similar to another company can cause legal difficulties. At the very least, consumers may become confused and patronize your competition. For example, I collaborate for a company called BIGresearch. The company collects nationwide consumer data each month. The data is used to help retailers better understand consumers purchasing intentions. The name (BIGresearch) clearly says what they company offers – - a lot of research. The name is also unique. No other company in the world has a name even remotely similar to this name.
Think long term: A company name and its brand should last the test of time. Consumers like consistency in companies, brands, and products. Oh sure, they say they like new products and features. But in actuality, they flock toward companies that are steeped in history. Don’t believe me. Go to any website and look at retail giants. They feature a portion of their website to the company’s history. Consumers crave information about how a company started, progressed, and what the company is doing today to make consumers even happier by purchasing more of its products. Teaching consumers why the company chose a particular color or name will go a long way to selling merchandise.
