Part of the problem within Ode to Psyche is in the narrator s claim that Psyche was neglected since she became a goddess later than the other Greco Roman deities As such the narrator serves as a prophetic figure who is devoted to the soul Worship towards the soul is through use of the imagination an idea that shows the influence of William Wordsworth upon the poem s themes In particular the lines are reminiscent of the description of inspiration and the muse within Wordsworth s The Recluse To serve Psyche the narrator of Ode to Psyche seeks to worship her by thoroughly exploring the regions of his mind However the temple dedicated to the goddess within his mind does not yet exist | 141 |

Before becoming involved with The Lion King Deja had already developed a reputation for animating Disney villains Prior to animating Scar Deja had just recently served as the supervising animator of Gaston and Jafar the villains in Disney s Beauty and the Beast 1991 and Aladdin 1992 respectively Initially Deja had been considering the idea of animating a hero as opposed to a villain for a change contemplating taking on the task of animating Simba instead However Deja soon relented upon learning that Scar would be voiced by Irons feeling that it would be fun to animate a character voiced by such a prestigious actor Meanwhile Minkoff and Allers had already had Deja in mind for animating Scar long before the animator approached the directors about the position The level anthropomorphism used in The Lion King exceeded that of any Disney animated film by which it was preceded Because Scar is an animal as opposed to a human Deja and the animators experienced certain challenges and limitations when it came to instilling movement in the character and thus experimented with manipulating Scar s facial expressions specifically the way in which he tilts his head condescendingly raises his eyebrows and lifts his chin The animals were each drawn with certain human like attributes and characteristics in order to help convey emotions and tell the story Meanwhile the studio recruited live lions for the animators to study while drawing As the film s villain Scar is the only lion drawn with claws | 282 |

The episode s visual effects supervisor Andrew Orloff of Zoic Studios tried to make the parasitic worms look as real as possible He explained we just don t have any shots that seemed staged for the camera or any hint of being a visual effect One of the big effects like the parasite that crawls out of the guy s mouth are interacting with actor s performances and they re shot with a very loose camera style and we have to have the tentacles of this creature coming out of the guy s mouth and all the deformations that are in his stomach and in his throat and in his chest Orloff continued And we had to create a proprietary workflow here of what we re calling performance transfer of tracking 2D points and putting those 2D tracked points onto the formation of 3D inter geometry So we re transferring not just the camera motion but also the performance of the actors on set onto 3D pieces of geometry so we can deform them and warp them and have our effects interact with them because the mandate is all about making it look as natural as possible so that means a lot of optical tricks and atmosphere put in as seamlessly as possible | 231 |

These results came at the beginning of the golden age of general relativity which was marked by general relativity and black holes becoming mainstream subjects of research This process was helped by the discovery of pulsars in 1967 which by 1969 were shown to be rapidly rotating neutron stars Until that time neutron stars like black holes were regarded as just theoretical curiosities but the discovery of pulsars showed their physical relevance and spurred a further interest in all types of compact objects that might be formed by gravitational collapse | 101 |
