Posted: Jan 17, 2009Quentin Tarantino: Natural Born (Southern) Killer
Quentin Tarantino, born on March 27, 1963, in Knoxville, Tennessee, exists technically as a southern filmmaker. The Oscar-winning director's strongest films, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Natural Born Killers, Jackie Brown and Death Proof contend as some of the most powerful films in the last 20 years.
Tarantino often uses southern names "Alabama" (True Romance), home states Tennessee (Bruce Willis' character in Pulp Fiction) and Texas along with below the Mason-Dixon line references (Death Proof) in his films. His storytelling employs a retrospective perspective. He also utilizes many of his gang of actor friends in his films, much like Sam Peckinpah. In Death Proof, Tarantino utilzed STAX artists in the soundtrack.
Tarantino's cinematic style often weaves references to southern culture in his films. In the coming weeks we will examine Tarantino's southern roots.

Latest technology of exterior strobe light includes incandescent bulb and quartz diode that emit a clear high intensity of light or flashes at regular interval of time. The number of flashes per second may go up to 10 to 12 per second in exterior strobe light. This high rate of flashes may produce hazardous effects such as glare or fits or in certain cases may lead to nervous breakdown leading to paralysis. Apart from its disadvantage exterior police light play a vital role in Photography where all round illumination is required for short span. Theatrical effects or special effects are also produced due to use of different type of exterior strobe light. In some countries exterior flashing lights are used as fog light and in some cases to make a warning to other drivers on road. Postal vehicles in most of the countries use such a strobe light for various reasons. Some of the reason includes the awareness of other drivers to recognize the vehicle from far distance and give way for it to pass. Other reason may deal with the property of exterior strobe light to illuminate at 360 degree.
