prepare for me to be rly annoying abt film, but I think one of the reasons that the Shadow and Bone show really didn’t hit with me, even though I usually don’t have too big of a problem separating bad adaptations from their source materials (see me rewatching the Percy Jackson movies OFTEN as a kid lmao) is just how boring the shot compositions were?

(I’m just gonna touch on the Crows bc I’ve edited them more.. and also honestly I don’t even remember anything abt the actually SaB stuff lmao)

like, obviously, the coin shot introducing Jesper is one of the coolest in the series, and I love the long shot as we follow Kaz around the club, but they don’t introduce the club as a set. We don’t see Inej in the rafters, we don’t see any members of the gang waving to Kaz, we don’t see repeat customers, we don’t see him dodging around a fight. It’s stale, and uninformative.

another thing is just how all the characters are set up in shots, like there is very rarely a moment where the camera is angled to help further show a dynamic between two characters. It almost feels like a multicam sitcom lmao, like why is the shot where Kaz is on his knees NOT from Pekka’s perspective, or at least over the shoulder??

almost every single shot is shoulders up and middle of the frame, or full body shot for fight scenes/cool walking

It’s just… like… not FUN. My student made movies had more complex composition, and not just because they were required.

Broke: "I really like This Claudia, That Claudia sucks and adds nothing to the story"

Woke: "The change in Claudia's looks and disposition between the two seasons corresponds to Louis' changing perception of her in his own memories as his interview progresses. The fact that this change in perception occurs within him in the first place communicates to the audience how unclear his past has become and emphasizes the show's theme of memory as a monster that steals away all that once was by implying that Louis will never remember Claudia purely as she was without his own biases twisting his memories of her,"

Oh dear.

The Good News: Chapter 6 of Spare Prayer is coming together SO well.

The Less-Good News: it potentially completely fucks a lot of what I have written for chapter 7

Ah.

@entities-of-posts ??

had a dream that someone was showing me this camera that could render anything it photographed "flawless." So like it could remove blemishes from people's faces, but also if you took a picture of a cracked glass there would be no crack in the resulting image.

Obviously this is kind of existentially horrifying but that's not the point of this post.

The point is that when dream me got the camera I immediately turned the lens onto my cat to see what she would look like "perfect." And she looked exactly the same.

a niche opinion i believe wholeheartedly is that wylan van eck is cabin 7

[southdiamond89blogging]

Look, I get that Jonathan Sims spent quite a few years running around in an archive, a series of underground tunnels, around the world, and through an apocalypse, and that therefore he's not gonna exactly look like a supermodel...

But like

He was in a relationship with GEORGIE, and Martin was down BAD for him before the podcast even started even though he treated him like absolute shit for literal months.

Mans is probably a bit hot

[southdiamond89blogging]

You ever think about how Martin saw through Peter's plan because there was no way someone like Martin could possibly be the world's savior, but it literally did end up being him in the end?

Hello 👋❤️

I need your help and my family's help to get back on their feet and support my sick daughter.

I'm Amina, writing to you from Gaza. The war here has left a deep impact on my life and the lives of my family. My home was destroyed in the bombing, and we lost many of our loved ones. We are trying to get back on our feet, but it is not easy.

I have a little girl who needs urgent treatment for glandular problems, and medical care. Things are very difficult here, and everything we need has become very expensive.

Every small contribution can make a big difference in our lives, whether by sharing the link or donating. 🙏

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you give, whether by praying, sharing or donating. We need hope now more than ever.

With all my appreciation and respect to you Amina

everyone who sees this either donate if you can or reblog to get more eyes on this. Don’t do nothing.

@starsandscars81 left some tags (that had me kicking my feet and twirling my hair teehee ty icon) saying my style reminded them a bit of old disney, so I was inspired to do some animation expression sheets for wesper since i draw them the most :D

my greatest enemy is consistency and I will defeat it one day (im lying)
