If you watch any action or war film that's been made in the past decade, you'll notice that the camera shakes around a lot. That's especially true during battle scenes when explosions go off. The thinking behind it is that shaking the camera drives home the scale of the impact for the viewers. It's an easy thing to achieve with 21st century methods but wasn't so common back in 1998.
Spielberg wanted his cameras to shake when bombs went off, and believed he'd found a solution. He attached two drills to the sides of the camera and turned them on when he wanted them to shake. They worked just fine, but one of the younger production assistants pointed out to him that shaker lenses had already been invented and were available. Spielberg learned something that day. Even so, you have to salute him for his ingenuity!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
