Unreferenced date January 2007 Production blocking is a common problem in brainstorming groups. It is a tendency for one individual to block or inhibit other people during a group discussion. For example, if six people are in a group and one person is talking about his or her idea, then the other five people are blocked and less able to provide their own creative input. They may not have time to think of an idea, or they may be distracted or forget about their idea before they have an opportunity to share it. Production blocking becomes more of a problem as the size of the group increases. Production blocking is not the same thing as social loafing because it is an attentional or cognitive barrier, not a motivational one.

Unreferenced date January 2007 Blocking is an animation technique in which key Pose computer vision poses are created to establish timing and placement of characters and Theatrical property prop s in a given scene or shot. Blocking is most commonly used in 3D computer graphics 3D computer animation. Blocking is often the first step in the pose to pose style of animating, as opposed to the straight ahead style of animation though blocking sometimes plays a role in straight ahead as well. Blocking poses are not necessarily exclusively keyframe s. Blocked in poses may also include important in betweens, extremes, and breakdowns necessary to establishing the flow and timing of a particular shot. In 3D, the animation curves of a blocked shot are often created using stepped or square tangencies, which provides no interpolation between animation poses. This allows the animator to see the poses of the animation without any strange and or unintentional automatic interpolation. While this is sometimes problematic due to gimbal lock , seeing the poses in this way allows the animator to adjust the timing of an animation quickly, without the distraction of the software s automatic interpolation.

Blocking or denial is a term used in theater theatrical improvisation to describe an act of not accepting the world that has been set up, or of refusing to develop an action that another performer has offered . This is the opposite of Yes, And... In general, blocking prevents improvisers from developing stories since it tends to reduce the scene to a battle for dominance between the performers, each pulling the fiction in a different direction this is different from the interplay involved in dramatic Conflict narrative conflict , in which the characters pull in different directions. Improvisation coaches can usually tell the difference between defensive blocking initiated by nervous or inexperienced improvisers and the more playful or constructive blocking that more comfortable or experienced performers may introduce. Since we enjoy watching someone being thwarted, blocking often provokes laughter from the audience. For this reason, when improvisation is performed in comedy clubs, as opposed to theatres, blocking may become the norm it is seen rarely in theatrical improvisation companies. Examples of blocking blockquote A Want to go for a swim? br B No, I can t swim. blockquote B has blocked A s offer of a swim. Some actors block their own offers. blockquote A Want to go for a swim? br B Sure br A Oh, I forgot, the pool s empty. blockquote Sometimes, saying yes is a block. blockquote A Give me all the money in the safe or you re dead. br B Yes take it.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Image KitchenBlocking.JPG thumb 350px right Blocking intended for cabinets In construction blocking refers to pieces of wood or other material that run between wall stud s in order to provide support and attachment sites for mounted hardware such as cabinets , shelving, vanity tops without a cabinet underneath, or bathroom towel bars. Construction Traditionally 2x4 or 2x6 boards are cut to size and nailed between studs. Since studs are usually spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, scrap pieces of dimensional lumber can often be used. For maximum utility, rows of blocking should be set at a predetermined height and installed flush with the interior plane of the wall. Individual boards should be secured with at least one nail or screw through each stud. Blocking is the act of installing solid pieces of wood or blocks to a deck, bulkhead, or overhead in such manner that these pieces bear directly against the cargo to prevent movement of the cargo in the horizontal plane. Purpose Properly installed blocking is easier to find and use for attaching wall hardware than studs alone. Once drywall , or any other material, covers the wall it can be difficult to find 2x4 studs for attachment, and the position of nails and screws must be adjusted to stud location. Thus, if blocking is installed at a uniform and predetermined height, attachment sites can be found without using a stud finder , and the blocking can be utilized anywhere along a wall at that height. This is particularly useful for installing upper cabinets in kitchens or bathrooms as they tend to be fairly heavy and finding appropriate studs for installation can be difficult.
