#and i do rewatch these movies mostly for Bedi

[elstreem]

This isn't a me trying to overanalyze the Camelot movies this time. This is me just wanting to appreciate the frame by frame of what happens Nitocris chucks the Holy Grail at Fujimaru and just how flabbergasted everyone is lol.

The moment before disaster:

And wham -

Poor Fujimaru having to catch a box with the grail in it. I mean, it's all magical energy and whatever, but it looks like a golden cup, so it must be heavy, right? I mean, poor Fujimaru even goes below frame.

I do find it funny how scared-looking da Vinci and Mash are, and even Bedi looks concerned and was ready to reach out in that last frame above, his hand is held out (though before that, he makes the cutest :0 face).

Fujimaru is ok guys, though someone should check on his back.

I've never animated anything and hopefully I'll learn it sometime, but I just like how Fujimaru totters and sways back into the center of the frame to indicate him getting his balance back and giving the sense of just how damn heavy that grail was. And him going back to the center of the frame lets everyone go crowd together and go "ooooh what's in the box?"

They're so much like children here, help, jus drawing close and looking "oh new thing?"

And man, Bedi is really tall, him bending down like that just puts his eye level the same as Fujimaru's. And it's wack considering both Mash and da Vinci wear heels, too, but Bedi is still easily taller than either of them (and by extension, this movie made me realize how tall Fujimaru is as well, he's actually quite close to Bedi's height too).

And just to top it all off - Nitcrocris looking damn smug and proud of herself.

"Well it's yours now, time to leave through my portal of darkness like the super awesome mage I am."

And then they fire on Camelot with a pyramid laser.

I love these movies so much.
