It's time to upgrade your Raspberry Pi. This guide is for all users of the Raspberry Pi, A+ and B+ models. This guide will also cover the features and what you can expect of the Pi 3. These tips will help you get the best out of your new Pi 3 once you have decided on the model.
Raspberry Pi 3
The Raspberry Pi 3 has an impressive list of hardware upgrades over its predecessor. It now has a Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit SoC, and the quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU is up to ten times faster than the original model. SysBench scores it higher. It should offer a 50-60% rise in performance, even in 32bit mode. Raspberry Pi 3 should be your first choice for a powerful and affordable computer.
Raspberry Pi 2
The Raspberry Pi 2 is a quad core computer that's about the same size and power as a credit-card. It can be used for many different advanced projects. It also has a keyboard as well as a TV output and can be used for gaming and movie watching. The ARMv7 processor on the Raspberry Pi 2 is capable of running a full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions. Snappy Ubuntu Core can also be run from it. Raspberry Pi 2 runs ARM GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows 10.
Raspberry Pi A+
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is the latest member of the Pi 3 product family. This model features a 1.4GHz switched 64-bit quad core processor, dual-band 2.4/5 GHz WLAN and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE. This model is great for projects that require WLAN connectivity.
Raspberry Pi B+
The Raspberry Pi B+, an updated version of the original Raspberry Pi, has a few differences. While the B's Bluetooth connection is upgraded to 4.2, the new version offers dual-band Wi-Fi. The ethernet port is also faster, but it is still not Gigabit, and instead connects to the board using a USB 2.0 bridge. This port is also used to connect a WiFi dongle.
Raspberry Pi Model C
The Raspberry Pi Model C offers a range of new features that are not compatible with previous versions. You will find many Easter eggs, such as a display with high resolution. The board is still small. If you take out the tracks and connectors that connect to the GPIO header, you can purchase a Model C for $25. You should be aware that this will increase weight.
FAQ
How many theaters do I need to make back my investment?
It depends on how much time you intend to keep your theatrical release running.
If your film is going to be run for less then two weeks, one theater will suffice.
You will need at least two theaters if you plan to keep your film running for more than 2 weeks.
Why are there so few independent films that get released?
Many indie filmmakers believe that distributors will take their films.
Because they are confident that the public will love their film, they believe distributors would be willing to buy it.
This is not often the case. Distributors often profit from independent filmmakers.
They employ tactics like delaying a movie's release until after awards season has ended.
They might delay the release of low-budget films until after the summer blockbuster series has begun.
Distributors are also trying to keep films off the streets until audiences have already spent hundreds upon thousands of dollars on tickets or popcorn.
They don't want any of those profits to go to waste.
What happens if my film fails to perform at the box offices?
Several things could happen if your film performs poorly at the box office.
First, it is possible to decide to modify how you market the film.
Second, you might decide to rework the script.
Third, it is possible to add additional characters.
Fourth, you may decide to remove certain characters.
Fifth, you might choose to cut scenes.
Sixth, you may decide that the film isn't worth making.
Which percentage of the box offices goes to marketing budgets and what is their share?
Marketing budgets typically account for between 20% and 40% of a film’s budget. This is because marketing is very important to the success of any film.
Without marketing, nobody will know anything about your film. If people don't know anything about your film they won't pay to see it.
Why don't more filmmakers use crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo?
Crowdfunding platforms are fantastic because they allow you direct contact with potential investors.
Most filmmakers don’t believe they have the right to ask for money. They feel they need someone to stand by them.
And since they haven't proven themselves yet, they don't think anyone should invest in them.
Instead, they spend long hours working on their project, in hopes of someone noticing.
They realize that they did not prepare well when they launch their campaign.
Instead of thousands of dollar, they get a handful of donations.
What is the average salary of actors?
Pay for actors can range from $1 million to $100,000 per film, or less than $100,000 for independent films. Actors typically receive between $10,000 and $20,000 per film. Many actors aren't paid. It all depends on their success. There are actors who make millions and others who struggle to find work.
What's the difference of an indie movie and a foreign-language film?
A single filmmaker usually makes an independent film. He or she makes all the decisions.
The opposite is true for foreign language films. They are usually produced by a larger production company.
They often hire actors, authors, and directors who are from other countries.
You can also find professional translators to make the dialogue sound natural.

How To
How to get an honor star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
In 1960, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce created the Hollywood Walk of Fame (HWOF). The HWOF is located at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It consists of 2,711 stars embedded into the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard. Each star represents someone who contributed to motion pictures, television, radio, theater, music, or some aspect of popular culture. The HWOF currently has 1,922 listed living people.
You will need to submit your application to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in order to be considered for membership to the HWOF. Once submitted, your name will be sent to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once approved, you receive a certificate of eligibility, which includes your name, date of birth, city of residence, occupation, and category. You also receive a bronze plaque with your name engraved on it. This plaque is attached on a concrete base at the star.
You can apply for a star if a current member of the HWOF nominated you or if you made significant contributions to movies, television, radio, theatre, music, or something else considered part of "popular culture." A committee evaluates the nominations and decides whether to approve them. If they do, they will send a letter explaining their decision to the applicant at his/her home address. If the person accepts, they will be sent a second letter to confirm their acceptance. The Hollywood Chamber of commerce then sends $25 to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues an official check payable to Hollywood Chamber of commerce. This check is then sent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays the application submitted by the artist or organization. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce pays half of the $12.50 fee to the artist or organization. The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs takes the other half.
After the artist has been awarded his/her star, they are eligible to join the HWOF. To be eligible for the HWOF, the artist must pay the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce any balance. The amount due is dependent on the number of years since you were first recognized. If you were first honoured in 1990, then you would owe $15,000. For example, if your first nomination was in 1990, you would owe $15,000. However, if it had been in 1980, you would owe 10,000.
If you want to remove yourself from the HWOF, you need to contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and pay off the remainder of your debt. They will remove your name permanently from the HWOF list.
What age is required to become a HWOF star?
Nominations are open to anyone over 18 years of age. To receive a coveted star, one must be at least 18 years old. One can still be nominated after receiving a star after ten years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
Nominating you can be done by family members. If there are no known living relatives, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will place the memorial marker in front of it.
Why can't people choose to use a different street than having stars all over the place?
The HWOF is not meant to be a historical monument. It is meant to honor those who contributed to film history.
What happened the star thefts? The thieves took around 1,200 stars. Each star weighs between 250-300 lbs, so if you add up all the weight, that comes out to about 4 tons worth of stars!
