“What appears on those screens was not computer-generated. Carpenter
wanted high-tech computer graphics which were very expensive at the
time, even for such a simple animation. To get the animation he wanted,
the effects crew filmed the miniature model set of New York City they
used for other scenes under black light
with reflective tape placed along every edge of the model buildings.
Only the tape is visible and appears to be a 3D wireframe animation.”
2. Start with any other
sentence. If you first say, “Thank you for the nice sweater,” you can’t
imagine what to write next. Say, “It was so wonderful to come home from
school to find this nice sweater. Thank you for thinking of me on Arbor
Day.”
3. Then you’re done.
I recommend learning how to write a very good thank-you note. A child
who can write a nice thank-you note can turn into a cocaine dealer five
years later and be remembered as the child who wrote nice thank-you notes.
