Touch the Sky (Kanye West song)

"Touch the Sky" is a song by American hip hop artist Kanye West. It was released in early 2006 as the fourth single from his second album, Late Registration. The song features American rapper Lupe Fiasco on his career debut and was produced by Just Blaze, standing as the only song on the album not to feature production by West. Blaze uses a slowed down horn sample from the Curtis Mayfield song "Move On Up."

Music video

The music video for "Touch the Sky" was directed by Chris Milk and filmed as a '70s style short movie about daredevil Evel Kanyevel (played by Kanye West) and his attempt to fly a small rocket across the Grand Canyon. It is done in homage to Evel Knievel's unsuccessful jump across the Snake River Canyon in 1974.

The video features Pamela Anderson, Nia Long, Tracee Ellis Ross, and the Booker T. Washington High School Marching Band of Houston, Texas, which performs with Lupe Fiasco at a pep rally. The production cost for the music video was approximately $1 million, which is the 25th most expensive music video of all time.

Xôi is a common on-the-go breakfast item, and a popular snack nationwide.

Canon EOS 650D

The Canon EOS 650D (known as the Kiss X6i in Japan and the Rebel T4i in the Americas) is an 18.0 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR), announced by Canon on 8 June 2012. It is the successor to the EOS 600D/Kiss X5/Rebel T3i and was later superseded by the EOS 700D/Kiss X7i/Rebel T5i. Sales began on 15 June 2012. At introduction, recommended retail prices for the body were US$849.99,£699.99 (including VAT), and €839.99 (including VAT).

Features

The 650D is the first Canon DSLR that has continuous autofocus in video mode and live view, which Canon calls "Hybrid AF". This feature, intended mainly for video recording, is implemented through a new sensor technology in which certain pixels are dedicated to phase-detection AF (traditionally used in DSLRs) and others to contrast-detection AF (used in camcorders). When the subject is in the center of the frame, phase detection is used to identify the subject's current location, with contrast detection then used to fine-tune the focus. Hybrid AF will be available with all lenses, but other improvements to video autofocus, specifically in smoothness and quietness, will depend on the use of Canon's new STM lenses, two of which were announced alongside the 650D.DPReview noted that the Hybrid AF system was similar to the focusing system of the Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras.
