Hello there. I saw your post about how people who analyse Jikook being in each other's rooms are unhinged. He he hee! 🤭 I see where you're maybe coming from because sometimes the so-called proof is bullshit or barely there and you have to squint to see it. And other times it's plain speculation. But I just wanna point out that the New Jersey live (pic here as a reminder)

only needed to be analysed because of Jimin's cough. He had this persistent cough that is later heard very clearly even after Taekook are supposed to be the only ones in the room. 👇🏽

So I'm not sending this ask because I was offended; infact, I don't disagree. Sometimes Jikookers can go too far. But can u really blame people for hearing a familiar cough in the bg and wanting to confirm their suspicions?

At the very least its intriguing and its human nature to just wanna know.... of course its okay that u don't care. But I just wanted to say that its not all the time that people who analyse are talking out of their ass 😁

It still makes zero sense to me because whoever is "hiding" is putting in an unusual amount of effort to remain unseen when the rational thing to do is to leave and come back when the live is over. Even casually ending a live together raises less suspicion. What's the point of being secretive?

Supposing they were dating or were intimate with each other during that time, the act of trying to be secretive during a live (and knowing how eagle-eyed Kpop fans historically tend to be), it heavily implies irresponsibility on their part or the assumption that ARMY wouldn't be smart enough to sense something's amiss.

For me, this narrative is an insult to their ability to be professional and knowing when to exercise caution, which is why I have no patience for it.

Amusingly enough to me, analyzers who have to zoom in, slow clips down, isolate audio for the sole purpose of trying to prove something that benefits their agenda remind me a lot of how anti-Taennies moved when they kept trying to disprove the leaked photos. It’s two sides of the same coin.

For clarity's sake, I don't have an issue with people who are trying to draw sensible conclusions of oddities. To cite the example of Jimin coughing, I could understand someone thinking, "Doesn't that sound like Jimin coughing? That could be him," rather than "Doesn't that sound like Jimin coughing? Let me prove all the ways that it is him!" Some people find entertainment in it–and to each their own–but I don’t.

Interestingly, in the Vlive you shared, no one has to do detective work to notice that there were moments of awkward tension between them that you could cut with a knife, and made even weirder because the understood context doesn’t fit the nature of that tension. That feeling is compounded when that tension is stymied as soon as Jin enters the room, even though both he and Jimin were the root cause of Jungkook's poutiness, and something's not adding up. This alone can imply certain things that should satisfy most Jkkrs (e.g., they’re tiptoeing around something that clearly doesn’t apply to Jin), and trying to prove they’re staying in the same room becomes a moot point and ranks exceedingly low on my list of arbitrary Reasons Why Jikook Give Me Heart Attacks.

To conclude, I obviously have an opinion on these deep analyses that really go to all sorts of lengths to prove a ship, but I recognize this and prefer to avoid them. If you or anyone else enjoys partaking in that kind of content, more power to you! At the end of the day, I don’t care about that side of the fandom and will “stay in my lane,” but if you ask me about it, I’ll point blank tell you I find it weird.

here’s a really comprehensive overview of how things shook down in the c-fandom by reddit user u/visible-following-50 (as of 11pm CDT 8/24/2021)

I wanna provide some C-ent perspective on this:

Overall all accusations concentrate in the period between August 2019 - February 2020

PART 1: Monday 23th 10-11pm The scandal first erupt on Twitter but reached Weibo around 10pm. There were instantly 10+ gossip accounts who were sharing the screenshots with no translation, fresh from Twitter. It took a bit for users on Douban to translate them and reshare them on Weibo. The gossip accounts definitely got tipped off, since they posted about it all at the same time.

Fans tried to look for proof the pictures, the screenshots, the audio and the timeline were fake. Apart from some small fans, most of his big fans asked Lumis to not share unverified debunks... they had previous experience sharing things too early only to find themselves ridiculed, so they pretty much just spend the whole night looking for harder proofs and keeping his trending topic on the entertainment list and not the main one. I am PERSONALLY quite confident, the company knew already what was going at that point. His trending topic never reached the main board... it was the #1 on the ent board for the whole night... people are guessing it was company’s doing...

As for the debunking proofs. I can confidently say, none of the proofs given and shared by small fans were solid proofs. That’s why his big accounts in China never started to share massively those posts. Twitter instead was more vocal in believing them.

1/ Pictures: the finger one is the fishiest one. It looks extremely not like his finger. But the three selfies, no fans managed to find where they come from. The only possible guess they come from leaked Kakaotalk. 2/ Audio: the fans found one part of the audio coming possibly from Bubble, but there’s a slight change in tone and the second part of the audio still is missing from Bubble. People use it as a debunking proof, but we can’t say for sure 3/ Timeline: the alleged nights they spent together did in fact coincide with the nights Lucas was in Seoul, just a very packed agenda. Like August 28th, he just landed in Incheon from Dubai at 5-6pm and supposedly spent the night with her right after. September 9th, he took a flight from Shanghai to Seoul, landed, spent the night with her, the day after directly took a flight to Dallas for SuperM concert. Technically all possible, also technically could be fabricated to match his schedule perfectly as second half of 2019 Lucas schedule was known to everybody due to SuperM and the amount of flights info. Beginning of December he was in China despite her claims. That is the only part we can be 100% it’s not true, since we have receipts of Lucas being in Beijing doing fanmeetings.

As for the gaslighting, asking for money and being rude to her, we have no proof whatsoever, since all the Wechat shared just show Lucas saying I love u and trying to meet up with her.

At this point, 99% of his fandom in China still believed in him and many spent the night not sleeping, to clear his searches, battle with antis and so on. His group mates akgaes also spent the night shitting on him.

PART 2: Tuesday 6pm The whole day went by with Lumis still clearing his searches, with anti inventing new rumors (they shared a dick pick of him quickly proven to be fake) which had Lumis and different members akgaes fight, but nothing big in comparison. After Jalapeño teaser dropped people were excited and we received also info Lucas and Ten have booked flights for China on Sept 10th. Then at 6pm a new girl came out, again, the news instantly shared by 10+ gossip accounts on Weibo, spreading the visibility.

The second girl is a Chinese girl claiming to have been contacted by him after a fansign (she provided receipts of her fansign participation) and supposedly met up in ShengYang. The girl had no pictures just a bunch of screenshots. She claimed they had sex with no protection and him lying saying he hasn’t had sex in a year and similar stuff.

Overall by this time, most of fans still didn’t believe her since she provided no pics and all the Wechat conversation were seen as not strong proofs (they can be easily photoshopped)

PART 3: Wednesday 8pm The third girl posted on her weibo account (with no personal info), the final blow. With pictures.

She supposedly got his contact by sending him a message via airdrop once she found him on Bluetooth during an offline event. They quickly added each other. They “dated” or more correctly they FWB for a period where she asked multiple times whether he was single, but supposedly the timing overlapped with the two previous girls, hence why the third girl decided to expose him, cause she felt cheated.

She accused him of cheating, badmouthing his members (they don’t work enough, one of them stole one of his fashion gig), not liking Keep Running (too much pressure from seniors).

Keep in mind none of the above accusations are found in her shared screenshots, as she said these are part of their conversation while drinking.

She provided 3 pictures: one of him sleeping (which many fans suspect to be a picture of him sleeping on WayV dorm due to matching sofa and Bella’s toy) and two pictures of him with drinks and sigarettes (the fishy part is that his hairstyle doesn’t look like his hairstyle in end of 2019. Edit: it could have been Moonwalk period hair.). While girl #1 selfies could have been Kakaotalk profile pics, these pictures look 1/ not photoshopped 2/ taken without him knowing.

At this point, Lucas big fan accounts broke down... this girl pictures were the final blow. While some fans still finds them fishy and claim it could have been staff selling their pics (which allegedly happened before between staff and sasaeng), after 24 hours of radio silence and continuous rumors, no sleep and constant fighting, his fancafe and his most high profile fans gave up and believed the accusations. Please note his solo stans only believe that he did sleep around, no mentions of badmouthing or his personality.

Lucas’ image among Chinese fans is definitely purer than what Ifans think of him. If Ifans think him being sexually active is nothing strange, for C-fans him sleeping and especially with fans, multiple at once, was too much to handle. Also many felt like at this point, regardless of whether he’s able to disprove the accusations, his image in China is ruined forever. SM not saying anything was too much to handle.

PART 4: Tuesday 10pm onwards.

With the fancafe leaving and many big fans leaving, the rest of Lumis saw this as a sign these big fans knew more than them, had some sort of proof from SM that the allegations were true. Rumors spread like fire among fandom and many fans quit due to fancafe quitting.

Fancafe quitting trended at #3 on Weibo main board, that single Weibo post had over half a million likes.

The rest of the night, Lucas trended with various hashtag, all on main board, between 3 to 15 in terms of positions. The same day a TV presenter was ousted for r*pe.

One of WayV most famous sasaeng shared on Weibo that Lucas does have an habit of flirting back when you send him something via airdrop. This sort of backed the possibility of the third girl story of how she met Lucas.

The rest of the night we still had some small rumors spreading of people saying that he does flirt with fans, he does look like a fuck boy, he was already a player before debut and so on. To be honest, I wouldn’t care about these since they all sound like people jumping on him.

Some WayV and almost all solo fans of the other members started to ask for his removal from the group. Many believe the accusations (since again, after 24 hours no solid debunking has been offered) while some others in any case think his career is done and his image will only tarnish the group.

As you can see, all of this play out very quickly. A bit over 24 hours and we are yet to see any response from SM.

Currently the remaining Chinese Lumis (a new fancafe opened to substitute the old one) are mostly just waiting for some confirmation or debunking from Lucas or the company itself. On Weibo they just basically gave up on digging for more proof themselves (apart form some small individual fans)

Only if you’re like comfortable :)

I tried lmaoo i’m not the best at writing for real people over fictional ones but i really liked the request so i did my best!

Slip Ups

Nihachu x Fem!Reader

Niki walked up behind you, wrapping her arms around your waist and burying her face in the crook of your neck. Instinctively, you put your hands on hers, leaning back into her embrace. You were busy making sure your stream setup was perfect for later and after an hour of testing and moving equipment, you were glad to be back in her arms.

“Ready for tonight?” she said sweetly into your ear, pulling away so you could turn and face her.

“More than ready,” you smiled, kissing the tip of her nose, “I just hope the audio is going to be okay,”

“I’m sure everything will be fine,” 

“Let’s hope so.”

With a light giggle, Niki stepped away, moving to the small desk you kept by the door and grabbed two mugs. 

“Thought we could just relax a bit before stream,” she shrugged, handing you your mug and taking a seat on the sofa towards the left of the room.

You sighed, walking over and taking a seat beside her. You let her lean into you, throwing your arm around her shoulder, squeezing her close. You put your head on hers, taking a sip of the tea she made for you.

“Yeah, we could stay like this for a bit babe,”

She giggled in response, turning to peck the side of your cheek, “Babe? That’s a new one,”

“Just trying out new things,” you bit your lip, trying to suppress the heat rising to your face.

She thought for a bit, letting the silence linger for a moment as she took a sip of her own tea, “I like it.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes really,”

You kissed the side of her forehead, pressing your lips firmly against her pink hair, making her face scrunch up cutely.

“Then I better start using it often then.”

…

You yawned, adjusting the headphones on your head after stretching in your chair. You leaned in once again, speaking into the mic.

“Okay, maybe we should’ve used dark oak…”

“Well no shit Y/n,” Wilbur scoffed, jumping down from the structure you were building and punching your character.

You crouched, tilting your head to the floor, “Well sorry for having faith in jungle.”

“That was your first mistake.” Tubbo butting in, hitting your character as well but with an iron axe.

You grunted, switching to your netherite sword and chasing the boy down prime path.

“YOU TAKE THAT BACK BEE BOY!”

“NEVER!”

Everyone else started to laugh in the call at your antics, the chat was enjoying it as well. Soon enough Tommy jumped in, chasing Tubbo along with you causing him to scream even louder.

“What the hell Tommy! You’re supposed to be on my side!”

“I’m always on a woman’s side Tubbo! Now get back here you son of a bitch and die for your crimes or I swear-”

“What do you mean crimes! What did I do!”

“You hit a woman Tubbo! Now you must lose a cannon life...”

“Since when was that a crime!”

“Since now big man! Since now!”

You noticed Niki’s character coming up in the distance. With a worn out sigh, you stopped sprinting and walked to where your girlfriend stood continuing to build her house.

“For the record, I think it looks great,” Niki said, giggling as you sneaked towards her.

You stopped in front of her, watching as the two boys kept on bickering and fighting. Passing a hand over your face you spoke tenderly, “Thanks babe.”

The call suddenly went quiet after your words. You chuckled nervously, looking around at everyone that started to surround you and Niki, all of them staring you down. In the other room, Niki was blushing. Looking at the chat in her second monitor, they began freaking out about your slip up and her reaction, making the red deepen on her cheeks even more.

“Uhhh-” you moved your arm, gesturing to the new audience, “Everyone alright?”

“What did you call Niki?” Sam asked, knowing fully well the answer.

You froze, eyes widening as you slammed your head on the desk, letting the mic pic up the loud bang. The laughs only amplified at your reaction so you decided to slide off your chair and hide under your desk, slapping your face into your hands to hide your flustered state.

“Aww, she’s embarrassed!” Wilbur snickered.

“Does this mean you both commit marriage fraud together?” Tommy cut in, laughing into his mic, “Because now i’m questioning this friendship Y/n… I can’t go to jail again.”

“Jail?! Again?” Sam exclaimed but was quickly interrupted by Tubbo

“Awwww, I think it’s sweet! Like honey from beeeeees,”

Niki laughed at everyone’s teasing, growing concerned that she wasn’t hearing your own giggles along with her. She looked at her chat again, all of them spamming to go check on you or asking if you were okay because your stream suddenly ended.

“Hold on guys, I’ll be right back,”

“Yeah, you should go check on lover girl, see if she’s doing alright,” Wilbur snickered.

“I will.” she said confidently, deafening herself on discord, switching to her waiting screen and playing ads, telling chat that she would be right back.

She walked into your room, cooing when she saw you under your desk. She walked up and kneeled beside you, gently placing her hands on yours and peeling them off your face.

“Baby?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that- fuck, I just messed everything up didn’t I?”

“No, no, no, Y/n. You didn’t ruin anything!” She reassured you, squeezing your hands in hers, “I mean... we were going to let them know eventually, now you get to say it all the time!”

“Yeah, let twitter freak out for a bit… oh god they’re going to have a field day!”

“We’ll be fine Y/n, trust me,” she passed her hand down the side of your face, letting you nuzzle your nose into her palm, “there going to love us together just as much as I love you,”

You sniffed, “That’s a lot of love,”

“Yes, yes it is,”

You smiled softly up at her, “I bet I love you more though,”

She blushed at your words, “Oh really?”

“Yes, really.”

“I don’t think that’s true,”

“Well I think it is,”

“Prove it then.”

She leaned in, brushing her lips against yours, letting you close the small gap she created. The kiss was soft and tender, your lips slowly moving against one another. It wasn't long for the smile growing on your face to break the both of your apart, grinning at each other like it was your first kiss all over again.

“Ready to get back to it?” she questioned, carefully pulling you out from under the table.

You thought about it for a moment.

“Sure babe,” you pecked her forehead, “I’m going to love getting use to that.”

TMS S3: GROUP A

THE MASKED SINGER SEASON 3  GROUP A/ GROUP 1: (contestants 1 - 6)

EP 3x01: CLUES & MORE: RECAP for remaining 5: 

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

KANGAROO

CLUES: 

Location: Outdoors: “Australia” 

Location: Next to a /in a yard of a “peach coloured” building with arch/vault-style architecture 

VISUAL CLUES:

Sign: OUTBACK (with the U being in the shape of horseshoe)

Sign: Yellow “road sign” with an arrow pointing down (”spiraling down”) 

MIB as papparazzi/press following her - taking pics, media attention (for “the wrong reasons”) 

Gramophone on a tree branch 

Boxing bag -  the kangaroo boxing/hitting the boxing bag 

Jump rope - the kangaroo jumping over a jump rope (made of a vine...held by MIB)

AUDIO CLUES/VOICE OVER:

”Like most of you watching, I’m a survivor.” 

“I recently lost a person, who held my familys heart together. Then, by my own admission, I found myself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.” 

“But I’m here to do what kangaroos do best - bounce back.”

“I have to fight for my family. And show them that bullies never win.”

“I am beyond terrified - I’ve never done anything like this before. But I’m not about to lose the chance to realize the dream I’ve always had.” 

“To all the survivors out there -- This one’s for you.” 

 ON STAGE CLUES:

Song choice: “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn 

Look/Costume: The kangaroo has a pouch (indicates female), but also has a red/silver boxing outfit & gloves (indicates male). Outfit colours: red & silver. Important: there is a crown on the back of her robe. 

Stage: hexagon-shaped mirrors (5 of  them) surrounding her/behind her [if my other guess is correct, then that stage design is a “clue”] 

Height: Tall-ish...almost the same height as host Nick. A bit shorter, around 175cm, probably.

Mic hand: Right 

Talking:  “One of my greatest fears is being vulnerable. And this year I’ve had no other option than to be vulnerable. But...with this kangaroo costume I feel like I can get my superpowers back.” +  [breathes in/sighs heavily before the song starts]

GUESSES: 

I HAVE NO NAMES OF MY OWN. -- I thought she was this certain female artist, because the voice kinda seemed familair (sounded like hers to me), but none of the clues and other things seemed to fit. And after checking the clues it seems to confirm it cannot be her, cause nothing matches. Also... to me she doesn’t sound like any of the singers I thoughts she could be based on the clues, so... I havent actually figured her out...

I think people online are correct, and it’s a certain “reality star” (gramophone = reference to her dad being a sound engineer on a well-known past TV show) Though I am considering a few more options - mostly other reality stars/youtubers/family members of celebs... particularily one name. If my guess here is correct, then just like Llama, she would have a connection to a previous TMS contestant...but since I am not that familiar with her singing voice, I cannot be sure. But she has lost family members in the past few years, she has been in a media scandal, and you can even explain the australia thing kinda... so...until I hear more of her, I’ve got one name mainly in mind. But I wont name it until I’ve heard her sing at least once more.

POSSIBLE MEANING OF CLUES.

Survivor = the title of a “Destiny’s Child” hit song

Lost a family member recently = either her family member (parent, grandparent?) died or they parted ways (were cut ouf of each others lives)

Gramophone = possibly a reference to a Grammy nomination/win. Or just music/sound/audio

Outback = possible connection to Australia

“spiraling down” road sign + papparazzi following her = she’s been in a media scandal “recently”

Crown = King/Queen

“Good morning, Nerd herd! You’re listening to The Wool. Where we’re all cool. No Bull.” 

“I’m here for one reason only - to have a laugh. And what’s funnier than a Llama? (laughs at his own joke)”

“You may call me a joker. But I’d like to get serious for a minute. The song I’m singing tonight is my favourite track for celebrating love with that... special someone. There’s nothing like being swept up by it’s deep, profound lyrics. It’s a tune that really gets me in the mood for romance. I can’t wait to sing it for you tonight.”

“Llama out!”

POSSIBLE MEANING OF CLUES.

23.3 Wool = His show (The Drew Carey Show) had, during it’s 9-season long run, a total of 233 episodes. 

Photo canera prop = His hobby is photography. Actually, it’s more than just a hobby - he has been accredited press photographer during many (sports) events.

Nerd herd = He did take part in Zack levis (Chuck) “Nerd herd” lightsaber race one time at a Comic-Con convention. 

Nerd herd = his show (DCS) & character were/was about nerds/was a nerd

Llama’s side tongue = early in his stand-up comedy days he had a joke with a side-tie (it looked visually very similar to what the llama’s tongue looks like - he just added some wires & tape to do “the trick” of swinging the tie to the side)

BONUS: He knows last years winner, “The Fox Mask” - they did “Whose Line is it Anyway” together, so... connection... 

SPOILER ALERT: Llama is the mask who will be voted off next - in ep 2 (on Wed, Feb 5th). But while his voice might not be as trained as some other contestants, I loved his stage energy, and the comedy/fun he brought! One more song coming from him!

“When you become famous, people  want you to look or act in a certain way. They forget that you started off as just a shy little monster.”

AUDIO CLUES/VOICE OVER:

"At the starting-line of my career I was surrounded by other hungry new-comers. It felt like everyone around me was fighting tooth-and-nail for the dream. And I watched as many of those stars burned too brightly, too quickly, and then fizzled down”

“I’m a turtle, because I’m always taking it step-by-step.”

Joey McIntyre  PS. I tried connecting the voice to any boy-bands (of 1990s & 2000s), but I coukdnt. Even after some “research” - listening to each possible candidate...and IMO it’s none of them. The voices dont match, the heights doesn’t match---But it did sound like someone, who for me was a one-hit-wonder. Yeah, I only know that one song (and one more) from him... but voice seemed familiar.

POSSIBLE MEANING OF CLUES: 

Surf board = that he is a surfer;  that he is from Cali/Australia/somewhere which is known as being popular among surfers; that he has won Teen Choice Award(s) (this award in in the shape of a surfboard)

being surrounded by other new-comers at the start of his career = either he got his start through a (singing) competition and was one of many contestants fighting for the win AND/OR he got his start in a “boy-band” and was one of the youngsters looking for fame...

Surf board = Teen Choice Awards - winning several TCAs for his first/biggest hit song/album in 2005, and more. And he’s played a surfer character on a TV show

BSB references/connection  - he was the opening act in 2005 for BSB during the European part of the tour. 

Dream = he started in a boy-band with the name “Dream Street”

on stage presence/body language (movements) = very similar to J.M. 

WHITE TIGER 

CLUES: 

Location: Football field. Tiger striking a power/winners pose. 

Location: School hallway, lockers. Tiger walking in, shoving everyone out of his way. 

Locatrion: School library (sitting behind a table, with his legs on the table) 

Location: School hallway, lockers. MIB trying to get him to audition for TMS. MIB (fans) taking selfies with him. 

VISUAL CLUES: 

Golden plate/sign with text: Ultimate champion for clam shucking: 51 clams” (next to a golden clam shell) 

Sign/ad on the wall: “Masked Singer tryouts 5/3.” + images of three past masks included: Eagle, Lion & Raven. Plus the text: “Hurry. Not for long" also written on it. 

Sign on the all with images of past US presidents, including Abe Lincolns & the text/quote “Four Score and Seven Years Ago...” 

The TMS golden mask throphee shown next to the lockers (as Tiger says “let’s party!”)

AUDIO CLUES/VOICEOVER: 

“Ready to meet your next champion? My entire life I’ve sought out perfection, so choosing a mask with unlimited power like the White Tiger was a no-brainer.”

“I’ve had a giant career full of accomplishments. But when I imagine being on stage (and) singing, I’m a big old scared cat.*

“It’s been a while since I did something that scared me, so I’m here to concour yet anither challenge.”  

“What’s my motivation? My fans! I don’t wanna let them down." 

“So now I’m ready to get in that ring and smash the competition.” 

“Let’s party!” 

ON STAGE CLUES: 

Song choice “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice 

Look/Costume: Dressed in “Egyptian style"

Height: very tall & big (much taller than host Nick) - over 190cm, looks about 2m tall

Mic hand: R & L (alternates)

Talking: “It’s the most powerful I’ve ever felt. Like I can concour anything. I never wanna take it off” (when answering what did it feel like when he first put on the costume/mask)

POSSIBLE MEANING OF CLUES: 

He played during the 51st  (51 clams) & 53rd  (5/3) Super Bowl games. 

The three past TMS masks shown are all animals that are parts of  names of existing football teams: Ravens, Eagles, Lions. Meaning he is an athlete & specifically plays american football (NFL) 

The Lincoln quote translates to “87 years ago...”, so number 87 is the clue here. This could be a reference to player No. 87. 

He has had a very succesful career in his own field (sports). Singing is not his main job.

IF the voice-overs were done later, not during initial filming, then it’s possible that “smash” relates to the person smashing a lego-statue of a TV host during 2019/2020 New Years. Which in itself was supposed to be about his famous “Gronk Spike” during football games. 

A tiger (albeit “regular”, not white) was one of the characters & costumes + name of the sports team in the Katy Perry video “Swish Swich”, where this athlete also appeared. 

The Golden (Golden Mask) trophe - most likely a reference to his many wins (the trophees he/his team has won)

GUESSES: 

Rob Gronkowski (Gronk, athlete, 198cm) = 99% certain it’s him 

Because of the height alone (seems to be around/almost 2m = 6 feet 5) there are not that many possibilities at all. Even if we don’t listen to that voice or consider the clues. Based on height alone it can basiclaly be only one of these names: Dave Bautista (198cm); The Rock (196cm); Hulk Hogan (201cm); Tyler Perry (196cm); Brad Garrett (204cm); Joe Manganiello (196cm); Jeff Goldblum (194cm); Jason Mamoa (193cm); Tom Brady (193cm)..or the likes...

Even other possible names, like the ones listed by the panel, are not valid guesses, because of their height: John Cena for example is actually only 185cm tall. Also... several of these tall men are bigger/more muscular, so that makes it even easier to determine the name based on only the physical appeance...without even listening to the clues. 

ROBOT 

First mask to be voted out in ep 1

Havent listed his clues, cause there’s no use for them anymore, as he was voted off. 

With his 86 tattoos he makes up for about half of all the 160 tattoos the 18 contestants have combined. With his 24-25 Grammy nominations he makes up about 1/3 of all the 69 noms the 18 contestants have combined. And quite many of the 88 gold records the 18 contestants have combined,  belong to him (I don’t know the exact number, but most/all of his 10+ albums have gone gold, I think) - exact number depends on how they count it for this list.

<<<<< THIS IS WHAT GOES ON IN MY HEAD AFTER EVERY TMS SHOW/EPISODE. THIS IS HOW I CATEGORIZE THE INFO I HAVE INTO FOLDERS IN MY MIND. THIS IS HOW SPECIFIC I AM, AND HOW INTO DETAILS I GO. THIS IS HOW MUCH I PAY ATTENTION (while, most likely, missing a ton of more hints that I’ll only notice during re-watch) I JUST DECIDED TO WRITE IT DOWN...FOR ONCE. 

BUT... unless I decide to cut some sleep time to do this again, I am probabky not gonna do this after every episode. Possibly for the first episode of every Group (so beside ep 1, also ep 4 & ep 7)

Hakuoki Hijikata Biyori Track 7 Translation Attempt+ update

Update first (and at the end): found the Shinsengumi Oni-tan translated in Chinese~!! Unfortunately I have no time to read it right now and I’m not sure if I’m missing anything as there are nine tracks on the CD (+1 song which I didn’t find translations for, not that I’m going to do any lyrics translations).... Somehow I managed to get a ton of other translations while I was at it though... *sigh.*

Anyway, this is the last of my stock for translations from Chinese to English that I actually started a month ago (like my music transpositions I tend to do more than one at a time) but kinda forgot about since I got distracted by the Saito short story (priorities, haha. in general it’ll go: Saito> hijikata/kazama/yamazaki/sano>  sakamoto>souma>souji>heisuke>iba>sanan>nagakura or something like that if I were to put an order to it for pairing characters and more lore(in relation to oni anyway though there’s only one drama that fits this criteria rn)>personal entertainment value> something really long>monologues (I like interactions more [on that note the 8th HT biyori is only with hijikata so i’m pushing that off til later), in terms of me choosing something I suppose).  

Here is my translation attempt with lots of machine help for the 7th Hijikata Biyori Drama. 

Enjoy...

Hakuoki Hijikata Biyori Track 7  Dispute “ 争吵 “ 

Translation Attempt by KumoriYami

Going forward, ‘( ) and /’  will be used for personal edits/places changed for better flow/uncertain points while [ ] will be used for personal notes unless brackets are being used in a short story translation where they’re also used for thoughts (only got 7 of those tho).

Nagakura: I can't take it anymore! Let's do it! Heisuke!

Heisuke: That's my line, Shinpachi!

Nagakura: Ohoh! (You're) pretty confident (alt: Pretty confident, huh)! Don't cry afterwards!

Heisuke: Shinpat-san you really are!(---> Really Shinpat-san , you!(?))

Nagakura: What did you say/are you saying?

Heisuke: You coming?

Nagakura: Coming!

Heisuke: Haven't started yet! (-->Haven't even started!)

Nagakura:  Really, you’re so hot/It’s so infuriating you/ You people really well done ah!/Really, you’re so hot-headed/ Really, you’ve got such a temper!

[ I have no idea what to do with this sentence and this is just all the mtls of the sentence with the last 2 being my not exact interpretation of “真让人火大啊你!” will probably go with the 2nd last one though?????? an acquaintance translated this as: you really making people mad ]

Heisuke: What did you say/are you saying?

Hijikata: Hey! What are you arguing/fighting about!

Nagakura: Hijikata-san, don't stop me!

Heisuke: Haha, don't stop it (him)!

Hijikata: What's going on? Are you fighting?(-->What are you fighting about?/Why are you fighting?)

Nagakura: Fighting? It's not about boring/trivial things// anything so trivial.

Heisuke: Yes! It's/This is a fight between men!

Hijikata:...You guys, what’s the reason (for) this time? Is this a fight over food again?

Heisuke: Aaaah!!!

Hijikata: Hey, what happened, Heisuke?

Heisuke: I remembered! That is, the fish that I was going to have for dinner the day before yesterday, my share was, it was eaten by Shinpat-san !

Nagakura: Ee?

Hijikata: That being said, Heisuke came back very late that day.

Heisuke: Yes, yes. When I returned, the rice was still there but all the (side) dishes were gone.

Nagakura: ....Why are you saying/implying that I took it(/them)?

Heisuke: This is something that only Sano and Shinpat-san would do!

Nagakura:.....No, not Sano?/ Then, then what about Sano?

Hijikata: Harada wasn't at headquarters that night.

Nagakura:............

Heisuke: Look! This is/it was Shinpat-san!

Nagakura: Then, I have to ask, was it Heisuke who stole my blanket last night!

Heisuke: Eh? 

Hijikata: Speak of which/On that subject, it was really cold last night.

Nagakura: Right, Hijikata san. I found that my blanket was gone! I felt like I was going to freeze to death when I woke up this morning! [will need a better way to phrase this later]

Heisuke:...H-how do you know that you didn't move it when you fell asleep? Because Shinpat-san has bad sleeping habits.

Nagakura: How can/could (I) be skilful/clever--> How could that happen/How could I do something like that! You took it/ it's you who took it!

Heisuke: I, I don't know (anything about it!)!/ I don’t know what you’re talking about!

Hijikata: Aah, enough! i know i know! For such a stupid reason? Really, just fighting for this?

Heisuke: What are you saying/talking about, Hijikata-san!

Nagakura: Dishes(/food) and blankets are different things!

Heisuke: We won't be fighting over such trivial/boring (stupid) things/(reasons)!

Nagakura: Oh, yes! (We're) not kids! right, Heisuke?

Heisuke: Hijikata-san, you looking at us like that will make us feel troubled!

Hijikata:....Then what was the reason for this fight?

Heisuke: Areh?

Nagakura: Areh?

Hijikata: What happened for the two of you to act like this (then)?

Heisuke: Eh... what's the reason?

Hijikata:....Well, I need to see Kondou-san about something. Later/See you later.

Heisuke: Wa-wait a sec/moment, Hijikata-san! No need to look so tired, we have a reason!

Nagakura: That is/Indeed/that's right! now please wait a moment! because Heisuke will come up with a reason.

Heisuke: Why is this my responsibility! Shinpat-san started it/this!

Nagakura: What are you saying! It's because Heisuke immediately came back right away! (--> It’s because Heisuke suddenly spoke up) [I think this is referring to responding right away]

Heisuke: Ah, I can't take this anymore (of this)! Let's do this/it, Shinpat-san!

Hijikata: You're continuing to fight/You're fighting again.

End

-----

So I found translations for all of the Hijikata Biyori Tracks so I’ve added them to my growing list of things to torment myself with (*insert pitiful laughter here*)... also the audio for this is on youtube so I may get to making an srt file and a subbed video in the future though it’s a low priority since those tracks are grouped together and it’s a pain in the ass to go and cut videos since I hate timing stuff and my video editor isn’t great with that.

Regarding the Hana no Shou Reservation Bonus short stories that I plan on translating, I’ve only found stories (side note: a bunch of translations online can’t be accessed by simply clicking their links for some reason and I don’t know how to avoid getting stopped by their host websites) for: Saito (done!), Hijikata (80%ish done), Yamazaki, Kazama (40% done but i hate translating his stuff in general since his way of speaking is weird in Chinese,  difficult to translate, and i’ve taken a creative license with a bunch of his stuff which might cause things not to be accurate -.-), Harada, Souji, and Heisuke. As I have way too many things on my list now (seriously it exploded since a friend of my sent me a link that gave me +20 dramas to look at including the Shinsengumi Oni-tan drama...), I don’t have any intention on looking for the stories for Sakamoto, Shinpachi, Sanan, Iba, and Souma (again, sorry, but I don’t wanna accidentally give myself more things to work on lol). If someone sends Chinese translations of them my way however, I will add them to my list.  

One of these days I’m going to add a page to my tumblr that basically lists what drama audios I’m looking for since I got the names/pics for some of them which would really help if people want the stories to have audio.

How to decide on IP cameras

Should you be needing to choose a IP camera, the option could be mind-boggling. Here are some ideas to help you out. There is lots to think about in terms of security camera functions, specs and common technology is going. The primary difference from the web cam and a true surveillance camera is one critical distinction. Webcams are sometimes lumped underneath the security camera type for the reason that a lot of them provide a few security features, even so I will argue that there're rather restricted in case your main priority is going to be security. Consider the Nest Cam Outdoor and also the Foscam as examples. Each let you view a live video feed on your smartphone any place you own an web connection, but Amcrest won't alert you whenever a potential security measure trouble arises (which include whenever the built-in security alarms pick up on activity, etc.), while the View provides a huge amount of customizability to help you get warns every time something takes place, if that is what you desire. This could appear like a small variance, however if you 're going the particular stand alone DIY security camera path, all those warnings will be the greatest to estimate real-time observation (lacking checking streamming throughout the day). Build it yourself also often implies that, as opposed to LifeShield and other services, there is absolutely no professional inspecting services hiding behind an individual's wireless security camera. That means, for much better or even worse, it's going to be your responsibility to make contact with the cops when you see a person breaking in to your house. If you can not get the opportunity to get a notification every single safety and security circumstance happens, you can actually easily overlook the one time frame which a thief grab that high priced piece of earrings. That doesn't mean that there are no place for web cams as security supplements, but they're really most effective available for looking in at a animal at all hours to ensure your favorite sweatshirt have not become a munch gadget.

And while it is recommended that anyone steer clear of ordering dummy ip camera, one can never pressure enough on the value of fixing authentic security cameras to be a rock solid protection measure. Thieves are generally sharp and dummy video security cameras present on their own away, and so there is genuinely pointless of them. Find Proof Adding hidden cameras positioned in focused spots is beneficial when you really need to observe activities also words of men and women or within the event. Modern-day security cameras are not only equipped with significant quality film functions, but audio also. The clear vision as well as perfect sounds means they are more cost-effective than ever before in logging a series of occurrences. This is particularly practical when coping with a lawful case, during which the eye witness may have forgotten about a unique critical details or may be delivering by having an correct account of the things truly occurred.

Exactly How Much Would You Invest in your Surveillance Camera? Today, surveillance products can be found in various types expenses to supply a sense of safety with a wide variety of property owners. The standard expense of a security system along with set up can be $1,335.

There's 2 options to decide: wifi or hard-wired and Internet protocol address or CCTV. Having said that, some other issues bring about the last set-up.

Enhanced solutions lead to increased difficulty, and also increasing expenses. Ultimately, your needs and preferences are going to determine the last costs. Gradually, surveillance camera pricing have actually plummeted, driving them to be an affordable need. A standard home security system setting up will definitely cost around $2500.

A session is typically 100 % free. The size and type is based on quite a few reasons.

Wired Model

Though the installment costs greater than wireless calculating around $140 to $190 for each camera, the elements involving hard-wired products are usually more affordable. Considering the fact that holes is going to be drilled, cable connections added, as well as channel used, hiring a company is commonly recommended. Right after initial expenditure, the actual negative aspect is mounted locations. The benefits could overshadow the disadvantages. Cabled systems will not be broken in to remotely, jampacked, and have absolutely energy inbuilt ? typically together with power supply back-ups with regard to energy outages.

Wi-fi Product

Wireless products are easy to place, causing them to be the option regarding Do it yourself projects.

okay so i met both of them around the same time in like 2012-2013. i had quite a few mutuals with the first person on tumblr and we eventually ended up becoming mutuals too and then adding each other on a chat app and texting on there all the time. we got pretty close and opened up to each other quite a bit, but despite me constantly asking, he would never add me on skype or send audio messages or call me or anything. i gave him my phone number because i wanted to talk on the phone to solidify our friendship/know that he was a real person (i had at least skyped or got on voicechat with all of my online friends that i considered close to me at the time..we used to use tinychat to do group calls back then lmao). but he never texted or called from his phone number. looking back this was totally a red flag and such a catfish move especially since you can look people up by their phone number -_- so not only did we never text with our actual phone numbers, but i never heard his voice or video chatted with him. another thing that was catfish-like imo is that i had only ever seen like 5 photos of him total. a couple of selfies he had posted on his blog, and a couple of pics he sent me. i think some of the pics of him were also low quality. i know this was a time where cameras weren’t as powerful but it’s always a little off when someone sends u a pic of themselves and it’s blurry..like where did u screenshot this from lmao. also ofc there are people who don’t take pics of themselves much (i barely started taking/posting more pics of myself cause for awhile i just didn’t like the way that i looked at all) so he could’ve been that way…but that along with him never videochatting or letting me hear his voice just leads me to believe he was lying about his identity!! but we talked for awhile, i can’t remember if it was 6 months or a year since it was so long ago, but our friendship was rlly intimate like i think we would talk so much that we would say goodnight every single night almost. and we would talk about a lot of deep and personal things. he also introduced me to pierce the veil and chiodos and sleeping with sirens and other bands that could be identified as “scene music” hahaha and i ended up rlly loving that genre so we bonded over being emo hormonal teens together lmao. but then one day he deactivated his tumblr out of the blue. i think i tried to message him on the chat app but saw that he was deactivated. i was literally so upset about his disappearance like so disturbed and gutted because he gave me no warning. he was one of the people i felt closest to at the time so it was even more painful for me. i don’t recall how we ended up exchanging emails but i emailed him at this point asking what happened and he responded after several months. i can’t access all of the emails for some reason but im pretty sure i never got a real response as to why he disappeared…but it is common for catfishes to disappear bc they feel guilty and then resurface again so you know..that’s another red flag right? im pretty sure he just told me that he was going through a lot though he never told me what it was despite how much we had shared before. i just found a gmail chat between us where i said i wish we could video chat and his response was “nope u don’t need to see this trust me”…in one email he said he didn’t know how to attach things so he couldn’t send me any pics..get a grip girl!!! i accused him of being a catfish after he ghosted me and came back, and he said he was really offended i would insinuate that he’s a liar, because he really values honesty. but even after that he never provided proof that he was real. there were a few scattered emails between us until like 2015, and i was the last person to ever reach out after forgetting to respond for like a year. last year i was bored and emailed him to see if it would go through but i never got a response. so that’s pretty much the end of this saga. my other catfish story is a lot messier than this one tbh -_- i’ll type that one soon, i think it will be a shorter story.

Would you be willing to share the catfish story 👀

OMG i would love to sorry i took so long to answer this. i will type it out tonight i actually have two catfish stories so i’ll share both 😭

Readings

W 1

Feeling the beauty of sth is a subjective experience. “Taste is residue of beauty.”This sentence is wonderful.

“But anything’s reputation of being beautiful is guaranteed to recommend itself to some as a theory.”I agree, and I disagree with”beauty is real”.Nowadays, aesthetics has extended its diversity. Beauty is one kind of aesthetics. At this point, “beauty” has been redefined. 

It’s true, exposed to modern technology, beauty can be sth invisible, it can be a way of narrative, one kind of typesetting, some kinds of interactions, sounds, tastes of food, smells and so on. I believe the developing arts are binding together with beauty. Beauty is one of the production of arts.

Think about myself, I seem to go through aesthetic fatigue all the time? 

But as an artist, I don’t bother too much because pursuing beauty occupies very small percentage of the factor that I would consider it in in my art, unless it’s vitally meaningful to the theme I’m working on.

W 2

What strikes the eye without reference? This is a question that needs to be well thought out.

“The beautiful is that which apart from concepts is represented as the object of universal satisfaction.”A strong sentence, can’t agree with more.

“Elegy for the Spanish Republic” spreads sadness, and gives a kind of meaning to the loss. So, art is a great way to give meaning to sth you can’t do anything about or sublimate the thing.

About Salgado’s photographs - “But have we a right to show suffering of that order in beautiful ways?” I believe we have. The people suffered/are suffering must had a reason.It’s insignificant about the consequence of “They are suffering.” The reason can be crucial. It may bring audience’s mind to the bright/dark sight of human nature, or some unknown background. Using beautiful ways is good for telling the real truth.

“Are the photographs not unedifyingly dissonant, their beauty jarring with the painfulness of their content?” I don’t think so. Think about blue and red, black and white. Aren’t these combinations beautiful? May be more than beautiful, that’s visually striking, which serves a better role when we don’t want to be superficial.

W2 (Experience of extreme beauty: Some of my dreams)

I’m a forgetful person, but there was some time I seldom forget my dreams. I’m afraid to forget my dreams so I write them down. The experience of several of my dreams are incredible and unbelievable.It’s too beautiful to tell them by words. Here’re some examples of them:

Here’s the translation:

“The day when I dreamed of the end of the world came and entered into the countdown. When that moment came, I felt my soul began to break away from the flesh. There is also a percentage of the progress bar. At the moment of separation, there is an incredible feeling. My eyes are on the soul, looking down through the soul, and seeing that my body is squashed into a two-dimensionality flat piece, like a cake on the ground. Many people around me were also flattened. It feels really real. I still remember how I separated from my body. Then, as a soul, I rose up to a place like a spaceship. There are a few surviving souls there, that is, the souls that come out of the flesh before the last moment. Then I was told that only three people can stay on the battleship.”

W 3:

 “What is a Rhizome?”

“Rhizome” is an old definition of a way of thinking. It was doubted.But it’s interesting that it can apply to political realm.

I think Rhizome is great as a model of sth’s development, because”The Rhizome has the potential to produce great change”,”It has potential to move into new territories”.

The following pic is my sketch for the “cut and paste” project (cut and paste your past and who you are now) for DDA Practicum last semester.From my prospective, the Rhizome can be applied to almost everybody’s life. We are rooted from one single place, single background, but we became more complicated as time goes by, but wherever we goes, we still a bit close to the previous branch.

Plus, I see how important of the context of any “model”.

Nina Paley's statement re copyrights

The pic below, share and adapt, the most common things we refer to copyright.

Copyright is friendly and a win-win-win thing towards both creators and adaptors.We all need this as an artist.

W 4:

Reflection on Laws that Choke Creativity, Lawrence Lessig, TED Talk:

“ culture moved from this read-write to read-only existence.”That was sad in 20th century.

Before Internet, the last great terror was broadcast. So, I understand how influential “War of the Worlds” was in 1987. The failure of ASCAP was because they didn’t provide free access to the public. Easier accessibility means more popular, and popular means survive.

Remixing is thing I like best thanks to the Read-Write culture, which makes creativity develop without any limit.That’s how memes appear, and how some ads became famous…Without it, there may be no pop-culture, since pop-culture itself is a remix, it’s heavily influenced by mass media, where filled with consumerist contents. Andy Warhol’s artworks, vapor wave style visuals and music (I feel like they lead remix grown rapidly(from 2010), they are the twist point between before 2010 and after 2010.) are good examples.

https://ontheaside.com/music/a-brief-history-of-vaporwave/

intersting remix wedsite:

http://copy-me.org/tag/remix-culture/

 Remix is great also because people can speak out loud own opinions differently through the way of remix.It create parallel worlds.”Remix is literacy!”

I realize how important “boundaries ” and ” balance” is after watching Lawrence’s speech. Is copyright really a boundary? Do it really keep the balance of nowadays society? If copyright is a limit more than a safe zone, at that time, what will take the place of copyright? 

I remember I discussed with someone about style in remix culture. One said, “ Remixed production like music tend to have no style, for example one music contains rock elements, blue elements, and some classic pieces, then what style does it have? No style at all. Lame!” I disagree. Remix itself is a style. And most importantly, people can speak out loud own opinions differently thanks to remix. It’s more meaningful than arguing about what style they are. Plus, style developed over time.There was of cause no electronic music in ancient time. We need to keep up with the modern pace.

1.Watch the 1h + 20min long animation: Sita Sings the Blues.

It’s kind of like a narrative history of Hinduism. At first, I couldn’t find the connection between different piece of characters with different form of animation. But I understood more when I finish watching it.

What interest me most is that all the animation was made based on the audio of Indian guys talking or even arguing with each other, it seems that they were trying to remind the story told from their grandparents. They ‘re not just read the knowledge of Hinduism gods. This is better for my understanding to a foreign culture. And I feel like my favorite way to get understand to unfamiliar knowledge by listening to someone who had close experiences to it, the content itself would give me a more authentic feeling.

2.The Case for Copying:  http://copy-me.org/2017/07/short-visual-story-copying-paintings/ 

It’s said in the video that some artists copy to claim the prestige of a particular heritage.This is really meaningful. It’s also said their purpose are to rework a stock artistic subject for their own time.This one I feel like the portrait of Pope Julius the Second became a “meme” in the history.

 Pop art artists like Andy Warhol “blurs the boundaries between artists and factory workers, commodity and art.”I fond this ironic because many artists nowadays just follow the main stream of pop culture blindly, they believe their artwork is a luxury product for the art market.

So, I like Appropriated art more than pap art, appropriated art allow artist to select objects freely, which better for them to speak out their own voice.(I kind of want to develop to this direction somehow...) I went to see Andy Warhol’s exhibition for two times is not because I really like this exhibition. I was trying to find the answer why he became so successful. But the exhibition layout is pretty good, works are very well restored, and each stage and category are explained very clearly.

W 9

Essence of art isn’t exist in manufacturing artworks.I agree, although there may be many people say they are art, I think at lease they don’t have the soul from the original artwork.

“Unconceal the truth” is a phrase I learned from Michael’s lecture this Tuesday.Yes, art let the truth originate, and became enlightening.But this is talking about the result of art, not the essence of truth of art. In the past, “aletheia” is similar to “mimesis” because most arts were fine arts, like painting, sculpture, the are comparatively realistic visual art (even an abstract artworks in style of cubnism or sth were mimesis in real life”truth”). Although in Van Goah’s work, truth isn’t equal to correctness, in this aspect, the paintings were intended to let concealed truth to become unconcealed, that’s “bringing-forth”.

I feel somehow satisfied to hear this explanation of essence of truth of art.I think subconsciously most artist know about this. But with a valid, rational and reasonable exploitation is significant for alarming artist ourselves and outsiders.

video: William Kentridge Interview: How We Make Sense of the World

The journey to the moon (2003), is a film about drawing and acting. Mr. William is really good at the cross-fertilization between different media.

 “What will come (has already come)” really surprised me, it was made in 2007, the drawn animation combined so will with the filmed water surface. The stirred water in the cup gradually became a starry scene viewing from a telescope. I feel like it referred to the era around 2007, that had a big progress in human’s space exploration. Nasa had some discovery and breakthrough, so I felt like William expressed this feeling to us through this work, showing how beautiful the gate of outer space opened to us.

I think the core of many of his animated film is to display the drawing process as quick as you can think. And organizing the different orders of the scene he drawn, this process is more like director.It’s also interesting that he could discover sth new while the film was being made.These scenes/fragments as footages, or as a kind of tool, let readers reinterprets retrospective. This make his work “timeless”. Just like the first paragraph, I wrote down my interpretation of this work today.But my interpretation may change next time I watch it again. Viewers from 2020s may also have different interpretations.

I really want this ability down below: (inspired by one of William’s film)

I hope I can separate into two of myself, help each other to do art, cause I always feel like someone can easily point out my direction went too far when I stucked in my artwork. I hope the “someone”  was me.

Plus, I love the sentence he said”uncertainty of image/politics/philosophy is much closer to what the world is”. It reminds me of Micheal’s presentation last week about art an truth. And “unfolding” the truth relates to William’s drawing & acting as a process.

We may not have an instant answer to the question we are investigating, we should embrace openness. 

I’m also impressed by his “Reufusal of time”, he explained it can be interpreted as someone escape his fate, which is also related to black Hole and string theory. The must-media opera is also very powerful.It’s sth timeless, cross cultural.

“You invited the world into the studio, and then you take the world into apart.And you reconstructed it in different materials and different scales in different ways, and send it back out into the world.”This sentence is also my interpretation of how we artist make sense in the world.

Planning Media for 3D Projection Mapping

videomapping In my current knowledge designing for tremendous canvases (the sides of structures) I have found numerous helpful suggestions and tips. The goal of this article is to investigate these discoveries with the intention of building 3D projection mapping models much more successful in particular for inexperienced designers. The initial thing that turns into obvious when viewing work at this sort of a substantial scale is speed. The types and animation are to begin with produced and previewed on a pc monitor - a lot less than 2' x 3'. Even preview projections are almost never greater than 20' across. Upon seeing the very same sequences enjoy on a canvas several orders of magnitude larger the velocity at which occasions transpire is significantly magnified. As an instance, a 3D projection mapping undertaking I made and directed lined all 4 sides of a 450 foot tall creating. This represents a far more than 200 fold boost in size, thus elements and transitions that crawl at a snail's speed on the personal computer watch, shift at a velocity that appears to be unrelated when applied in the actual present. To appear at it in one more way: relocating one" on the computer display (a pretty smaller distance relative to the overall screen) equals a motion of twenty five ft -on a developing of this sizing, fairly a huge distance for a spectator seeing from the viewers. Editorial transitions are subject matter to the exact same issues - there is only far more info to be processed when this sort of a substantial spot of ones discipline of eyesight is energetic. The resolution is merely to modify kinds aesthetic place of reference relating to timing. What appears alarmingly sluggish on a tiny computer system screen will be just fantastic when covering the side of a substantial constructing. A several tactics can be used to support in this exercise. The initially strategy is borrowed from visual consequences work for movies, particularly 3D types exactly where pacing issues are equivalent (for equivalent causes). Make a genuine planet scale reference in your preview window. An superb addition to this, beside the clear yardstick and regional characteristics, is scale human beings. A uncomplicated silhouette from the preview monitor is incredibly helpful. Utilizing the zoom functionality, preview the animation at a variety of zoom amounts spending focus to the measurement of the silhouette relative to your dimensions. one:one will demonstrate genuine velocity (points will typically zip by way of the display in a flash - fantastic to see), and 2:1 and so on. will give the impact of standing in the again of the viewers with individuals in front of you. This approach can help in utilizing yet another (conventional Second animators) method - pantomime. While zoomed at several close ratios, learn the choreography as if you were pushing the things close to with your fingers like actors frequently do with heads-up displays in significant tech Hollywood flicks. Soon after the rhythm of the motion is discovered, you can then get another pre-visualization aid by taking this 'performance' out to somewhere there are quite large structures, and 'perform' the choreography as if it was taking place on the creating you are standing in entrance of. Bringing your laptop or iPad along with the reference film can assist if remembering the rhythms is a new follow to you. A second refinement to this strategy can be added when a at ease pacing method has been arrived at by use of the over strategy. This procedure includes the addition of audio. A click on-monitor (A recorded metronome used by musicians to remain in sync on overdubbed recordings) can be very handy for establishing a 'backbone' tempo. This will retain you 'under the speed limit' so to talk and has the further reward of generating an tasteful pacing unity. If the simply click monitor is as well monotonous merely use it as a reference to decide on a rhythmic piece of tunes at the exact same pace. (For non-musicians search up the time period BPM). The other major region of problem for achieving top quality on these presentations is distinction ratios. It is disappointing (to say the least) to have types finely crafted visuals turn flat, gray, and desaturated upon viewing them in context. The perfect technique is to have manage of the ambient gentle in the presentation location. In this very unlikely and excellent scenario, one just would preserve all competing gentle resources off at the time of the present, allowing the projections to perform in the equivalent of a dim theatre. The realities of 3D projection mapping displays are really unique - not often (if at any time) does one particular have the option to current their perform in this sort of a pristine surroundings. Ambient gentle sources are everywhere and can not be controlled at all. There will likely be almost nothing ni your demonstrate that will come any place near to the deep blacks of your computer system display screen. In most circumstances the contrast ratio of the plan content ought to be adjusted to play agreeably in the context it will surface. If at all attainable, pay a visit to the location for the presentation with a digital camera, and take as numerous pictures of the lighting circumstances as feasible. Whilst the pics by themselves will distort the lights conditions, they will however be a valuable reminder of the sources and degree of ambient light-weight present. Import these photographs into your preview and use them for reference. Use them as backgrounds. Experiment with improvements in the contrast of your method so that the product appears to be like presentable in this context. An exceptional way to exam and preview this, no matter of whether or not on-web-site photography is possible, is to do tiny scale projections in adverse lighting circumstances. Try executing previews in wide daylight or if indoors, with get the job done lights on. Last but not least, in absence of any of these screening processes, participate in it safe and sound and change the contrast ratio (ranges in Photoshop) by 'crushing the blacks' as much as you can without having completely destroying the photos. This will improve the saturation as nicely but possibly not ample. Upcoming use Hue/Lightness/Saturation (also in Photoshop) to boost the saturation as a lot as feasible without destroying the integrity of the illustrations or photos. Usually talking this is a predicament the place weighty-handed will spend off - this is not the location for finesse or subtlety. If the previously mentioned screening strategies are obtainable, use them to do an A-B comparison involving the pre-coloration-corrected product and the article-corrected materials. nine moments out of ten you will discover that the substance offers superior with the blacks and saturation 'crushed' and that no important subtleties will be dropped. The elegance of 3D projection mapping is in the fitting of the materials to to context (surface area) and the choreography of the narrative - the real projection alone is substantially a lot more of a brute drive physical exercise and optimizing types program for the difficulties inherent in the medium will enable the finer points of storytelling along with the majesty and virtuosity inherent in the medium, to be appreciated to their fullest. In summary: keep in mind to keep the pacing ideal for the scale of the exhibit. Create references for relative dimensions and use a rhythmic audio gadget to evaluate pacing. Examine and measure contrast ratios where ever attainable and use prevues in challenging lights circumstances for checking. Crush the contrast and saturation of your factors, and know that with these essential concepts in location, the inventiveness and spectacle of your show and types will stand out without having distractions.

The solution is merely to modify types aesthetic place of reference regarding timing. What appears alarmingly sluggish on a very small pc display screen will be just fine when masking the side of a big constructing. A couple of strategies can be employed to help in this practice. The first technique is borrowed from visual consequences get the job done for films, specifically 3D ones wherever pacing concerns are equivalent (for related causes). Make a real entire world scale reference in your preview window. An exceptional addition to this, beside the noticeable yardstick and neighborhood functions, is scale human beings. A uncomplicated silhouette towards the preview screen is incredibly helpful. Working with the zoom purpose, preview the animation at different zoom levels shelling out attention to the sizing of the silhouette relative to your dimensions. one:1 will show genuine velocity (points will generally zip via the screen in a flash - very good to see), and 2:1 etc. will give the perception of standing in the again of the audience with men and women in front of you. This tactic can help in employing a different (classic 2nd animators) technique - pantomime. Even though zoomed at several close ratios, discover the choreography as if you were being pushing the factors close to with your palms like actors frequently do with heads-up displays in substantial tech Hollywood movies. Immediately after the rhythm of the motion is learned, you can then get yet another pre-visualization assist by using this 'performance' out to someplace there are really large properties, and 'perform' the choreography as if it was happening on the constructing you are standing in front of. Bringing your laptop or iPad together with the reference movie can assist if remembering the rhythms is a new follow to you. A next refinement to this strategy can be added as soon as a comfortable pacing approach has been arrived at by use of the over approach. This strategy includes the addition of sound. A click-monitor (A recorded metronome employed by musicians to remain in sync on overdubbed recordings) can be very valuable for establishing a 'backbone' tempo. This will retain you 'under the speed limit' so to converse and has the added profit of creating an stylish pacing unity. If the click keep track of is far too monotonous simply use it as a reference to select a rhythmic piece of tunes at the identical velocity. (For non-musicians look up the expression BPM). The other key spot of worry for achieving top quality on such presentations is distinction ratios. It is disappointing (to say the least) to have ones finely crafted visuals turn flat, gray, and desaturated on viewing them in context. The best tactic is to have management of the ambient light in the presentation location. In this highly unlikely and perfect case, 1 simply would keep all competing light-weight resources off at the time of the display, permitting the projections to participate in in the equivalent of a darkish theatre. The realities of 3D projection mapping demonstrates are rather different - not often (if at any time) does 1 have the option to present their work in these a pristine surroundings. Ambient mild resources are everywhere and can not be managed at all. There will likely be absolutely nothing ni your present that comes wherever shut to the deep blacks of your computer display. In most situations the contrast ratio of the system substance need to be adjusted to enjoy agreeably in the context it will appear. If at all possible, pay a visit to the venue for the presentation with a camera, and acquire as many pictures of the lights circumstances as achievable. When the pics themselves will distort the lights conditions, they will nevertheless be a helpful reminder of the sources and diploma of ambient gentle present. Import these images into your preview and use them for reference. Use them as backgrounds. Experiment with adjustments in the distinction of your method so that the materials looks presentable in this context. An excellent way to check and preview this, regardless of whether or not on-site pictures is doable, is to do smaller scale projections in adverse lighting problems. Try executing previews in broad daylight or if indoors, with operate lights on. Eventually, in absence of any of these tests processes, play it risk-free and change the contrast ratio (levels in Photoshop) by 'crushing the blacks' as considerably as you can without having absolutely destroying the photographs. This will increase the saturation as well but possibly not ample. Next use Hue/Lightness/Saturation (also in Photoshop) to increase the saturation as a lot as feasible without having destroying the integrity of the pictures. Normally talking this is a situation where significant-handed will pay off - this is not the location for finesse or subtlety. If the earlier mentioned screening strategies are available, use them to do an A-B comparison between the pre-coloration-corrected substance and the post-corrected material. 9 instances out of ten you will uncover that the material provides better with the blacks and saturation 'crushed' and that no important subtleties will be shed. The class of 3D projection mapping is in the fitting of the material to to context (floor) and the choreography of the narrative - the genuine projection by itself is significantly much more of a brute drive work out and optimizing types plan for the troubles inherent in the medium will make it possible for the finer factors of storytelling together with the majesty and virtuosity inherent in the medium, to be appreciated to their fullest. In summary: bear in mind to keep the pacing acceptable for the scale of the display. Set up references for relative measurements and use a rhythmic audio unit to measure pacing. Examine and measure contrast ratios where ever feasible and use prevues in tricky lights circumstances for checking. Crush the contrast and saturation of your aspects, and know that with these critical rules in area, the inventiveness and spectacle of your display and types will stand out without distractions.

Planning Media for 3D Projection Mapping

videomapping In my recent expertise coming up with for huge canvases (the sides of structures) I have identified quite a few beneficial recommendations and tricks. The function of this article is to examine these discoveries with the intention of creating 3D projection mapping patterns far more prosperous especially for inexperienced designers. The initially point that becomes obvious when viewing get the job done at this sort of a substantial scale is speed. The models and animation are to begin with designed and previewed on a computer system monitor - significantly less than 2' x 3'. Even preview projections are almost never larger than 20' across. On viewing the very same sequences enjoy on a canvas several orders of magnitude bigger the pace at which events transpire is tremendously magnified. As an illustration, a 3D projection mapping task I designed and directed coated all 4 sides of a 450 foot tall building. This represents a more than two hundred fold raise in sizing, hence elements and transitions that crawl at a snail's pace on the personal computer watch, go at a pace that looks unrelated when executed in the genuine demonstrate. To glance at it in an additional way: relocating 1" on the pc screen (a pretty tiny distance relative to the whole display) equals a movement of twenty five toes -on a making of this sizing, quite a huge distance for a spectator viewing from the audience. Editorial transitions are subject matter to the exact same problems - there is merely more info to be processed when this sort of a substantial area of types industry of eyesight is active. The remedy is basically to adjust ones aesthetic position of reference relating to timing. What appears alarmingly sluggish on a little computer display screen will be just high-quality when masking the side of a big creating. A several strategies can be utilized to assist in this practice. The initial strategy is borrowed from visual effects get the job done for movies, especially 3D kinds in which pacing problems are very similar (for comparable causes). Make a genuine planet scale reference in your preview window. An exceptional addition to this, beside the noticeable yardstick and local capabilities, is scale human beings. A simple silhouette towards the preview screen is really beneficial. Employing the zoom functionality, preview the animation at several zoom ranges spending interest to the dimension of the silhouette relative to your measurement. one:one will exhibit real pace (issues will often zip through the screen in a flash - excellent to see), and two:1 and so forth. will give the impression of standing in the back again of the audience with persons in entrance of you. This tactic can help in utilizing one more (standard 2d animators) method - pantomime. When zoomed at numerous near ratios, find out the choreography as if you have been pushing the aspects about with your fingers like actors usually do with heads-up shows in significant tech Hollywood motion pictures. Following the rhythm of the motion is learned, you can then get another pre-visualization help by taking this 'performance' out to somewhere there are very big buildings, and 'perform' the choreography as if it was occurring on the building you are standing in front of. Bringing your laptop computer or iPad together with the reference film can support if remembering the rhythms is a new observe to you. A 2nd refinement to this technique can be added after a at ease pacing approach has been arrived at by means of use of the over technique. This technique involves the addition of audio. A click on-track (A recorded metronome utilized by musicians to keep in sync on overdubbed recordings) can be incredibly handy for creating a 'backbone' speed. This will maintain you 'under the pace limit' so to converse and has the more benefit of generating an elegant pacing unity. If the click on keep track of is far too monotonous basically use it as a reference to select a rhythmic piece of tunes at the exact same velocity. (For non-musicians appear up the expression BPM). The other major location of worry for obtaining excellent on such presentations is contrast ratios. It is disappointing (to say the minimum) to have ones finely crafted visuals flip flat, gray, and desaturated upon viewing them in context. The best method is to have control of the ambient light in the presentation venue. In this extremely unlikely and perfect case, one particular simply would keep all competing mild resources off at the time of the exhibit, making it possible for the projections to engage in in the equivalent of a dark theatre. The realities of 3D projection mapping shows are quite distinct - almost never (if at any time) does a single have the possibility to existing their operate in this sort of a pristine atmosphere. Ambient light sources are everywhere and can not be controlled at all. There will probable be nothing ni your display that will come anyplace shut to the deep blacks of your computer system display. In most cases the distinction ratio of the system product should be modified to enjoy agreeably in the context it will look. If at all feasible, check out the location for the presentation with a digital camera, and take as a lot of pictures of the lighting circumstances as attainable. Even though the pics on their own will distort the lighting ailments, they will nevertheless be a helpful reminder of the sources and degree of ambient mild current. Import these images into your preview and use them for reference. Use them as backgrounds. Experiment with alterations in the distinction of your system so that the material appears to be like presentable in this context. An exceptional way to test and preview this, regardless of regardless of whether on-web site pictures is doable, is to do tiny scale projections in adverse lighting circumstances. Test performing previews in wide daylight or if indoors, with get the job done lights on. Ultimately, in absence of any of these tests procedures, perform it safe and sound and regulate the contrast ratio (stages in Photoshop) by 'crushing the blacks' as considerably as you can devoid of fully destroying the images. This will enhance the saturation as properly but almost certainly not sufficient. Subsequent use Hue/Lightness/Saturation (also in Photoshop) to improve the saturation as much as possible without having destroying the integrity of the photos. Typically speaking this is a scenario exactly where heavy-handed will pay out off - this is not the area for finesse or subtlety. If the earlier mentioned tests tactics are obtainable, use them to do an A-B comparison amongst the pre-coloration-corrected product and the put up-corrected substance. nine instances out of ten you will uncover that the materials offers far better with the blacks and saturation 'crushed' and that no significant subtleties will be shed. The magnificence of 3D projection mapping is in the fitting of the substance to to context (area) and the choreography of the narrative - the genuine projection itself is considerably additional of a brute drive physical exercise and optimizing kinds method for the issues inherent in the medium will enable the finer points of storytelling along with the majesty and virtuosity inherent in the medium, to be appreciated to their fullest. In summary: don't forget to hold the pacing proper for the scale of the demonstrate. Build references for relative measurements and use a rhythmic audio device to evaluate pacing. Test and measure contrast ratios where ever attainable and use prevues in difficult lighting problems for checking. Crush the contrast and saturation of your aspects, and know that with these crucial concepts in area, the inventiveness and spectacle of your show and designs will stand out without distractions.
