I FINALLY FINISHED THESE LITTLE descriptions. Got back into the mood of sitcoms but kind of fucked up and basically we've got a TV station that is struggling with money and layoffs and then their office is torn into NOWHERE! Into the abyss! BUT WHO'S GONNA SPONSOR US NOW?

Riley Beedleman

WX00's top dog and front man. Optimistic people-pleaser who seems loosely capable of his management position. But his charisma on TV is unparalleled! (Not really.)

May Geller

On-site newscaster. Originally a writer who was forced to fill a spot made by the loss of several of WX00's employees. Not necessarily a Tele-genic person, and chooses to reflect as such on TV.

Katlyn Romanoff

Part of the channel's News Team, usually on the scene of whatever interesting thing deserves boots on the ground. Bright and fast-paced, if not a little scatter-brained. (As in sometimes she catches a train of thought and has trouble hopping off of it on camera)

Anthony Earnst

Sound Guy and in-house music producer. Pretentious and classically trained, Anthony had intentions of being the next John Williams or Alan Silvestri. Or Beethoven. Instead he is here at a struggling TV station. Still takes his job very seriously, sometimes to jokey and fun loving Riley's chagrin.

Bernie Hemmingway

The backbone of WX00, its one and only tech guy after a slew of layoffs. Bernie manages switchboards, cameras, and oiling the boss's very squeaky desk chair. The resulting outcome is a very tired man who has found solace in caffine. However, the jitters have made mistakes on the teleprompter common.

Jenna Wright

WX00's make-up artist. Jenna is very talented, able to make any face look stunning on camera. Unfortunately, Jenna is very overworked, and very anxious. Nor is she very social, meaning that her job always manages to feel more like hell than heaven.

i have a lot more thoughts about this that I will show you when I am less tired in the morning but I at least wanted to introduce you to my wonderful cast. Womp.

[sunkissedfawn]

Shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first 10 tracks, then list 10 songs you really like, each by a different artist. Then tag 10 people to do the same thing.

On repeat:

1. Nobody Like You by EMI MARIA

2. Lemonade by Monbee, E.R.I, Ry-Lax

3. I Gotchu by Adrian Marcel

4. Ice Cream by KAHOH

5. Gonna Be Good by Madeon

6. Farewell by Alan Menken

7. Matter by Sire

8. Barbie Dreams by FIFTY FIFTY, Kaliii

9. Coastal Vivarium by J Scott Rakozy

10. missin u - r&b edit by Tori Kelly

Fave Songs:

1. Bedtime Story by J.A.C. Redford (2:33 - 4:02)

2. Discovery Of The Great Valley by James Horner

3. Reunion of Friends by John Williams (3:12 - end)

4. I Will Not Forget You by Max Richter

for this one i decided to dive into my scores playlist for favs. no pressure tagging @ahalal-uralma @kaleidoscopeofdreamss and anyone else who’d like to do this

[oh-my-damn]

I realize that Alan Silvestri wrote the theme for both Endgame and Cast Away from 2000

But tell me he half-assed his job without telling me he half-assed his job

These sound too similar to be a fucking fluke (and by the same artist lol) - go to 0.27 and 1.54 AND 4.33

And now listen to this: (from 0.17)

And it's also the funeral scene:

You know.....

I've watched Cast Away a handful of times before I ever delved into Marvel.

And I remember feeling very emotional during the cheeseburger and funeral scene in Endgame (more than I expected, considering I've never cried for the loss of Tony Stark)

And then, last night, I rewatched Cast Away

And the theme sounded eerily familiar. And eerily emotional.

And now I know why.

Alan Silvestri is an artist. He does incredible work. And I don't know whether he was aware or not of how similar these tracks are. But they are hauntingly similar (perhaps in the best way)

I love them both. For very different reasons.

And I love Alan Silvestri.

..... But he absolutely got inspired (unconsciously or not) by something he'd made before when he made that theme for Endgame LMAO

EVERYTHING EVERY TIME ALL IN ONE PLACE

Playing wide in the multiplexes right now:

Here--A spot in a living room in an upscale eastern Pennsylvania suburb--that's the title locale of this latest from Robert Zemeckis. It's our static vantage point for, essentially, the whole movie, looking across the room through a picture window that offers a view of the big brick colonial-era house across the street. 

We see the view there before it was a living room--long, long before. As in, we see it during the extinction event that ended the Cretaceous Period, sixty million years ago. We see it as a woodland make-out spot for indigenous lovers (Dannie McCallum and Joel Oulette), and as a burial site. We see it as part of a dirt road leading up to the aforementioned historic manse, which once was occupied by William Franklin (Daniel Betts), estranged Loyalist son of Benjamin (Keith Bartlett).

After the house is built, we get glimpses of the lives of its early 20th-Century inhabitants, like an enthusiastic aviator (Gwilym Lee) whose wife (Michelle Dockery) frets about his flying. They're followed by a whimsical inventor (David Fynn) and his sexy flapper wife (Ophelia Lovibond). This guy is trying to perfect a reclining chair; his working title for it is "Relax-y-Boy." And we see the house's early 21st-Century occupants, an African-American family; Nicholas Pinnock and Nikki Amuka-Bird are the parents, and Anya Marco-Harris is the beloved housekeeper.

But the movie's main focus is the midcentury family that takes the place over after WWII: Dad (Paul Bettany), a combat veteran and a seething, disappointed functional alcoholic, his sweet, quietly unfulfilled wife (Kelly Reilly), and his oldest son (Tom Hanks), an aspiring artist. The son gets his beautiful girlfriend (Robin Wright) pregnant, so there goes both art school and her college dreams. They move in with the parents, and stay for decades.

So the movie packs in a lot of history (and prehistory), a lot of longings fulfilled and unfulfilled, and cultural references ranging from the Spanish flu to the Spanish Inquistion sketch from Monty Python. But I'll admit that when I realized we were going to be parked in one place for the whole thing--I went in not knowing this--I panicked for a moment.

I needn't have worried. Zemeckis has always been a skillful showman, and while the audacious experiment of Here is by no means an unqualified success, it certainly never bored me. The script, by Eric Roth and Zemeckis, is based on a 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire, and Zemeckis employs comic-book techniques like overlapping inset panels to interweave the various timelines and bounce them off each other thematically. It's an impressive and confident exercise in narrative, and it does carry a cumulative emotional punch.

There are downsides, however. The fixed point of view means that the actors tend to seem a bit far away from us a lot of the time, and when they are brought up into the foreground it somehow feels forced. Zemeckis may have been worried about this distancing too; Alan Silvestri's music, though pretty, is ladled on a bit thicker than it should be, as if to telegraph what we're supposed to be feeling.  

Much more jarringly, though, the people in Here often have an ersatz, CGI "Uncanny Valley" look to them. The leads were taken all the way back to teenaged through some sort of real-time computer tech, and while the results are tolerable, they aren't perfected in realistic terms.

It must be admitted, however, that Hanks and Wright transcend this limitation, especially Hanks. The other actors sometimes feel like cyber-phantoms, but Hanks is so vibrant that he can project his humanity right through the program. And after Apollo 13, Castaway, Captain Phillips and Sully, it's also a relief to see the poor guy stay put.

Blog 7 - Finding Music in Nature

This week, we were asked to answer two questions: Where is music in nature? Where is nature in music? 

Music has always been a big part of my upbringing, and I can say with confidence that it has played a huge role in the way that I function to this day. Music, like nature, gives us a place to put our thoughts and emotions, and gives us an opportunity to think and interpret them. I think that, as with nature, everyone has a very personal experience with music. Some people grew up with it as part of their culture, some people like country music, some people hate country music. An artist may have a feeling in mind when they write a song, and intend for it to be interpreted a certain way, but everyone who listens to it may interpret it completely differently. 

Nature and music are similar and they also overlap, one of my first memories of discovering music in nature was when I watched the movie August Rush as a child. There is a scene where the main character is walking through a field and acting like a composer, feeling the sound of wind moving through the grass. This opened a whole new world of sound to me, whereas before music was confined to pianos, guitars, flutes, violins, vocals, and other man-made instruments. Now, I can hear music in nature all the time, in the sound of the wind moving through the lush green trees, in the sound of rainwater dripping off a leaf and into a puddle, in the sound of birds singing out to mates, even the sound of silence, when in nature, is like music to my ears. 

Nature also inspires people and animals to make their own music, for instance, a song that always makes me think of the ocean is “Cast Away” by Alan Silvestri. This song was composed for the film Cast Away–you know the one where Tom Hanks gets stranded on an island?–and is made to sound like the tide slowly moving in and then retreating. The dynamics and rhythm of the composition are both free and also structured, reminding me of the nature of the ocean. Similar to the scene in August Rush, whales compose their own music using repeating themes and phrases, tone and timbre, and by mixing percussive, noisy, and pure tones (Gray et al., 2001). This makes me wonder if whales would be interested in hearing our music too! Both of these are examples of nature in music, and how nature both creates and inspires its own melodic creations. 

After reading about nature and music this week, it has made me want to start to record more sounds in nature rather than capturing photos and videos.

how to make a wip playlist

@writingwithacutlass on instagram <3

source: me :)

hello and welcome back to my page! today’s post is exciting because i absolutely l o v e making playlists for my wip and characters. i know lots of you have playlists for your wip, but i’m sure many of you are wondering where to start, where to find songs that fit your wip’s vibes, etc. luckily for you, i’m here to help you with that :) let’s get on with the post!

characters

probably the first thing you want to brainstorm songs for is your characters. i prefer to make individual playlists for each of my main characters, but you can add these songs to your wip playlist as well. things to think about: their childhood, their personality, pivotal events in their life, their relationships, etc.

plot

the second thing you’ll want to find songs for is your wip’s plot. what songs would be playing during certain scenes in your wip if it was adapted into a movie? it can be helpful to think of your wip playlist as a soundtrack! for example, if your wip contains lots of battle scenes, artists like ruelle and valerie broussard have some very cool battlefield-type songs! if you’re writing a contemporary romance, find some fluff songs like cloud 9, or some angsty or sad breakup songs such as champagne problems or last kiss by taylor swift.

vibes

this is key to creating a perfect wip playlist! okay maybe this is just me since literally everything i do is based on ✨vibes✨ but you know what i mean. think movie soundtracks—the overall vibes of the song are just as important as the lyrics. is it ethereal or spooky? does it sound like a fairy could be playing this on a pink mushroom? does it make you feel like you’re standing on the battlefield with a sword in your hand? how does it make you feel?

where to find songs?

now you may be wondering, where on earth do i find songs that fit my wip ?? fear not, i’ve got you covered. i recommend using spotify because it gives you song suggestions to add to your playlist based on the songs you’ve already added to it! i haven’t used any music streaming app besides spotify so maybe there’s others that do this as well but yeah. you can also find playlists that other people have already made and choose songs from there! for example if you have a scene in which a character is running from the cops, you could search “running from cops” and a bunch of playlists with that title will come up, and you can listen to those and choose songs you think fit.

songs starter pack

and because i’m just that helpful, here are some artists whose songs might fit your wip based on its genre / vibes. and you simultaneously get to experience some of my superior music taste. you’re welcome <3

fantasy: ruelle, valerie broussard, halsey, fleurie, tommee profitt, beth crowley, SVRCINA, ramin djawadi

romance: taylor swift, ed sheeran, olivia rodrigo, lana del rey, bruno mars, harry styles

mystery / thriller: billie eilish, lana del rey, ruelle, lorde

scifi: michael giacchino, hans zimmer, alan silvestri

dystopian: imagine dragons, lorde, billie eilish, 2WEI, arctic monkeys, J2, hidden citizens

contemporary: taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, conan gray, girl in red, clairo, dodie

For the ask thing, 🦋🦕?

Thank you so much for the ask!!! 🫶🫶

🦋- I don’t really have a guilty pleasure song or artist, but more so a genre as a whole. I love listening to movie/show OSTS as much as I do lyrical music (sometimes even more)! Joe Hisaishi (who orchestrates most of the Studio Ghibli movies), Alan Silvestri (his Marvel works in particular), the LOTR/Hobbit soundtracks, and the Violet Evergarden soundtrack are some of my all time favs!!

🦕- My biggest pet peeve would 100% be bullying — plain and simple. A large reason to this is due to some shitty personal experience, but anyone who puts others down for no reason in particular just irks me and infuriates me to no belief >:( Just be nice and don’t be an asshole — it’s not that hard

[hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger]

Are there any artists that you you think would be great on a Spider-Man book? I really think Chris Samnee would do amazing given his work on daredevil. Shame he only got to draw superior Spider-Man and like two issues of ultimate Spider-Man.

Greg Capullo

Alan Silvestri

[frxstguardian]

I finally watched The Croods 2! Yes I paid $20 to watch it legally online, no I did not risk COVID-19 by going to a movie theater.

Pros:

Love triangle plot successfully avoided! Eep and Dawn spend more time together onscreen as friends than Guy and Dawn who never express romantic interest in each other.

I really liked the character design of the Bettermans and the creativity put into designing their home. You can tell that the artists had a lot of fun coming up with ideas.

Sequel did a good job juggling all the characters. 10 characters is a lot! Everyone had something to do (except for Sandy but she can’t even talk so she doesn’t count).

Hot Pink Girl Sloth TM was thankfully barely utilized. I wish they had gone for a pale red or any other somewhat natural color instead of hot pink.

I thought it was quite funny. The jokes were a bit non-stop, so your mileage may vary, but I was entertained. Standard family movie humor.

Voice actors were all great!

Cons:

Alan Silvestri did not return to score the sequel, and the soundtrack is not as good as the original. However, the Jack Black songs that play during the credits DO go off!

Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco did not return to direct the sequel, and I felt like we were missing the low angle shots and stuff that helped make the first movie feel realistic.

Partial thematic retread of the first movie, yet does not reach the same emotional intensity as the third act of the original.

There were minor continuity errors between the two movies. I think the creators just didn’t really care, and the errors are minor, but they do bother me a bit. For example, Grug says he’s only eaten a banana once a long time ago, but Guy handed him a banana halfway through the first movie.

Surfacing/textures weren’t as good as the original, and it is most noticeable in the one (1) flashback scene to the first movie. Dreamworks in general has smoother characters in recent years, but holy shit the $65M budget probably also contributed to it. The Croods (2013) had a budget of $135M. I have no idea how Dreamworks cut production costs in half???
