- Good morning
- Released in 1999, "The Matrix" remains an iconic film that reshaped the science fiction genre and left audiences questioning the nature of reality. Beyond its powerful storytelling and iconic bullet-dodging scenes, the making of "The Matrix" was a marvel in its own right. In this article, we take you behind the scenes to uncover the journey that brought this cinematic masterpiece to life.
**The Wachowskis' Vision**
"The Matrix" was the brainchild of the visionary Wachowski siblings, Lana and Lilly. Determined to bring their unique vision to the screen, they wanted to challenge the boundaries of filmmaking. The duo's commitment to crafting a story that blended philosophy, cyberpunk aesthetics, and action sequences was a driving force throughout production.
**Casting the Perfect Neo**
Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Neo, the film's protagonist, is etched into cinematic history. However, Reeves wasn't the Wachowskis' first choice. Will Smith was initially offered the role but declined in favor of "Wild Wild West." Fortunately, Reeves stepped into Neo's iconic trench coat, delivering a performance that would define his career.
**The Matrix Code**
The iconic green "Matrix code" that flows down the screen is one of the film's most recognizable elements. To create this effect, production designer Simon Whiteley scanned characters from a sushi cookbook and manipulated them to create the flowing code. The result was a visually striking representation of the digital world within the Matrix.
**Wirework and Martial Arts**
"The Matrix" pushed the envelope in terms of action sequences. To achieve the gravity-defying stunts and fight scenes, the filmmakers employed a team of talented martial artists and introduced "wire-fu" techniques. Actors trained for months to perform intricate moves that made the Matrix's virtual world come to life onscreen.
**Bullet Time**
The film's "bullet time" effect, where the camera seems to move at a superhuman speed while the action slows, was achieved using a complex array of still cameras arranged in a circular rig. This technique was innovative and has since been replicated in numerous films and commercials.
**The Real World vs. The Matrix**
To visually distinguish between the "real world" and the Matrix, the Wachowskis employed distinct color palettes. Scenes within the Matrix were bathed in a green hue, while the real world had a colder, blue tone. This color coding helped convey the sense of duality central to the film's narrative.
**Practical Effects and Stunts**
"The Matrix" embraced practical effects wherever possible. Stunt coordinator Yuen Woo-ping choreographed intense action sequences, and actors performed many of their stunts. The iconic lobby shootout, for example, was meticulously planned and executed with live explosives and squibs to achieve the desired impact.
**The Iconic Red Pill Scene**
The scene where Neo chooses between the red and blue pills is a pivotal moment in the film. To create the swirling effect inside the glass of water, the filmmakers dropped food coloring into a tank of syrup and filmed it in slow motion. This simple yet effective technique added an otherworldly quality to the scene.
**Legacy and Impact**
"The Matrix" left an indelible mark on cinema and popular culture. Its groundbreaking special effects, philosophical undertones, and memorable characters continue to influence filmmakers and storytellers. The film's success spawned two sequels, an expanded universe, and even discussions about the nature of reality and simulation theory.

- こんにちは @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
@aavegrants.lens will have 3 main prizes for GHO and Aave with $10k up for grabs!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
For those taking part in the hackathon here are some ideas to get those creative chops going! 👻
@gho.lens is designed for internet people.
With that in mind, we'd love to see you build utility around the future of payments on the web.
- You could create an app or plugin to pay with GHO anywhere.
- Imagine using GHO to buy your favorite beverage.
- Create a convenient payment platform with GHO where you can enjoy fast and secure transfers with just a few clicks. Say goodbye to time-consuming payments!
- Build a tool that uses Account Abstraction with GHO to allow users to pay gas fees with GHO, and has rebates. E.g., if the gas used is more than GHO paid, users can claim a rebate or pay it forward.
- Construct new DeFi yield strategies and opportunities for GHO and the entire DeFi community.
- Create a chargeback (direct debit) network for GHO where any user can charge an account with a set amount of GHO. GHO would then be transferred immediately but not unlocked until a set period of time passes. During this time, anyone can dispute the function if they have a balance
This is our first hackathon for GHO and we can't wait to see what you build this week.
Dive into the dev docs for GHO here: https://docs.gho.xyz/developer-docs/overview
We also want to see what devs can do with the power of Aave V3, our most significant upgrade of the Aave Protocol.
- You could build an Aave Forex tool where you can short assets. Enhance the ability of users to access forex liquidity by using one or all of eMode, flash loans, and other DeFi integrations such as @curvefinance.lens.
- Create a ChatGPT-powered risk manager for Aave utilizing OpenAI plugins to create an innovative experience for DeFi users with this leading-edge technology.
- Create a new debt swap feature. Right now you can swap your collateral from one asset to another but imagine if you built a feature for swapping debt from one asset to another.
- Utilize ZK proofs for critical vulnerabilities while not disclosing the vulnerability, i.e. prove there’s a vulnerability to the DAO so they can vote on it informed but not actually say what the vulnerability is.
- Imagine a Health Factor simulator UI component that displays a price slider per each collateral and borrowed asset, so you can simulate prices and see how your Health Factor changes under those conditions. Allowing you to take informed decisions to mitigate liquidation risks.
Dive into Aave V3 Dev docs here: https://docs.aave.com/developers/getting-started/readme
Make sure to catch @jessglover.lens and @miguelmtz.lens on April 14th at 7 PM JST in the Toranomon Hills Forum, 5th Floor | Workshop Room 1, for a GHO Hackathon Workshop.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on your hackathon project.
Reach out to @nader.lens and @jessglover.lens for any questions on the ground in Tokyo.
- Created a fun group for ETH Tokyo participants only!

- "Our objective at Devcon is not to be the leaders. One thing we did in Latam was to find leaders. Not even the perfect leaders, but people who want to learn, share their experiences, talk & learn about Ethereum."
- Our next Megafactory will be in Shanghai —capable of producing 10k Megapacks per year
- Balancer's new Boosted Aave Pools are live! 👻 🤝 @balancerprotocol.lens
Balancer has just released new Boosted Pools built on Aave V3 markets, showcasing that DeFi is built on the principle of composability. Aave V3 is the most significant upgrade to the Aave Protocol, securing billions of dollars in permissionless smart contracts.
Teams can build with bb-a-USD by using it as the base pair on Balancer to build new innovative pools and financial dApps. By building with the Aave Boosted Pools, integrators inherit the high-security standard built into the Aave Protocol.
