Making a rope very tight, such as to secure an object to a vehicle. Caveat. Can produce excessive wear on rope, especially if tied repeatedly in the same spot [6] ABoK. #1514, #2124, #2125, #2126. Instructions. [1] The trucker's hitch is a compound knot commonly used for securing loads on trucks [7] or trailers.
A dolly zoom (also known as a Hitchcock shot, [1][2][3] Vertigo shot, [4][2] Jaws effect, [4] or Zolly shot[5]) is an in-camera effect that appears to undermine normal visual perception. The effect is achieved by zooming a zoom lens to adjust the angle of view (often referred to as field of view, or FOV) while the camera dollies (moves) toward ...
Computer animation is a digital successor to stop motion and traditional animation. Instead of a physical model or illustration, a digital equivalent is manipulated frame-by-frame. Also, computer-generated animations allow a single graphic artist to produce such content without using actors, expensive set pieces, or props.
Constrictor knot. The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. [1][2][3][4] Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn.

The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
A tricolored trefoil knot. In the mathematical field of knot theory, the tricolorability of a knot is the ability of a knot to be colored with three colors subject to certain rules. Tricolorability is an isotopy invariant, and hence can be used to distinguish between two different (non- isotopic) knots. In particular, since the unknot is not ...
