Is there a music analysis of Wreck-It Ralph anywhere? (I'm sure there is) Cuz I've been listening to the soundtrack and ... EHEHHEHEH.. I love musical character motifs

I made a short video on an example I especially liked between Vanellope and King Candy :)

Basically he STOLE her leitmotif, like he stole everything else of hers

Hello! I just wanted to say that I absolutely love all your Jedi photo mode pictures! It's been really cool to learn from you and your process. I had started to play around with the photo mode and I was mildly interested, but I understand it so much better after visiting your blog. I've tried to apply what I've learned and I think my photos have turned out SO much better, and I'm having so much more fun with it! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful pictures and tips!

I'm glad you're having more fun with photomode!! And glad to hear my tips have been helpful :) Earlier this week someone on Twitter said "I just wish Jedi Survivor had more longevity" and sure, we aren't adding any DLC or live service stuff to the base game. But I think virtual photography really extends the gameplay and allows you to capture your own experience as Cal Kestis. It's something unique to the Jedi series that other Star Wars shows/movies can't offer.

There's definitely a learning curve, and it helped me a lot to see other people's photos when I was first starting. Turns out most IRL lighting techniques actually work in this digital space (kudos to the Respawn developers!) and that's made a huge difference in my own work. Feel free to ask any specific questions and I'll try to explain best I can!

There's a video of Piano Hands Guy™️ Ves below the cut for this week's lost media post. It is a different setup from the others, but still does not show his face. There is a brief glimpse of neck and a lot of hand/arm (also a bit of shaky cam).

The title of this video was: Red Seas Fire- Skye (Live Piano Cover), which intends there was a normal piano cover that he did in his room but alas I don't think I have that one 😩 When you're done watching this video go listen to Skye and sit in awe of Ves's piano prowess 👍(also its an amazing song, so glad he indirectly introduced me to RSF).

Can't stop thinking about wanting to make a video game :[ Don't know how to make a video game :[[ Could I find the time and strength needed to learn? Perhaps. But something will have to give in return :\

I just love how you can tell that Hille is super excited and happy to be in Japan. Like he doesn't write texts or anything but just the amount of stuff he puts in his story very much tells zu everything you need to know

The Batman (2022) isn't perfect by any means, but it is still a phenomenal film and one of the best pieces of Bat-media in recent memory.

Firstly, the aesthetic. Seemingly small but an incredibly important part. BTAS was broody, '89 was gothic, Forever was campy, TDK was... bad. And TB I think finds a real sweet spot in between vibes. It's dark, serious, it's got a technological noir, and yet still has vibrancy and color and (the key to my heart) neon.

One scene, you'll be sitting in an abandoned tunnel with shadows and muddy colors, the next you'll be surrounded by police under white lights, and the next you'll be in a night club with LEDs of every color you can think.

The fights. This film has some of the best Batman fights I've ever seen period. Really just action in general. The night club, the hallway, the finale. It's not like TDK where every fight is slow, precise, methodical, and honestly boring. Each fight or chase here is energetic and entertaining. The choreography is excellent, the stakes are legitimately high, and the settings are always unique.

The night club is crowded and overwhelming, with people swinging, shouting, and grabbing at Bats who aren't even apart of the fight. His skills and equipment save his life multiple times, whether it's block a bullet with a precise pipe throw or survive a shotgun blast with his armor. When he finally grabs Penguin you feel as overwhelmed and animalistic as he does.

The precinct escape is tight and tense. From the punch to the jump, every second makes you feel the absolute abominable stress of trying to escape a building like this. Officers pouring out of every room, bullets whizzing by and beaming off his suit. Merely seconds to get the flight suit on before they come pouring out to the roof. We experience the fall with him as his nerves spike, all culminating in a quick second decision that ends with him crashing into the side of the road.

Gotham. The beloved city feels full here. Subways are crowded, streets are packed. The crime feels real. Vandals, gang violence, thieves, assassins, crime families. It's not just militants and killers. We see the systemic issues in place that cause these. We see the feelings and social strains that make people do this. It's like you're taking a peak into another world with context and history you don't know but understand. It feels right.

The characterizations. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real you" thing inflamed by TDK. And I really don't like "the Waynes were corrupt and did bad things, even for good reasons".

I think there's so much more to say about the two very different, very real sides to Bruce's personality. The one that comes out as billionaire playboy philanthropist, and the one that comes out as a violent and vengeful demon. Both who are willing to suffer for their causes. And I think there's so much more when the Waynes die from a mugging. That the crime is so bad it took the highest. That it could take anyone at any time, even the beloved elite.

However it does something right that most other Bat-media fails at. It makes Batman a symbol of hope. It demonstrates a growth in himself. That he can do more good to inspire the people than to instill fear in them.

Pandaredd made a good video on this, but in Crisis On Two Earths, Bats' opposite is represented as the ultimate nihilist. This means that at his core, Batman is really the ultimate optimist. And that makes sense. You don't put on a suit and fight crime, you don't try to create resources to help people, you don't befriend and reform your own Rogues gallery unless you believe you can change something. That all the work you do, all the suffering you experience will be worth it when you get to know the world healed.

And that's something The Batman understands. Batman started as a symbol of fear. So that every criminal hesitates at an alley. Panics at a shadow. But he became something else. A symbol of optimism. So that people can walk the streets at night. That they can get the help they need. That they can look into the sky with hope.

When this fic included S6 events in this S4 setting, I assumed it was a purposeful AU choice because they wanted Niles to already be divorced. But now the fic just casually mentioned the use of webcams for online therapy and I... my brain is broken, I just don't understand.

No one was using webcams in 1997.

Captain Sabeltann (eng sub)

The time has finally come. I have now subbed all three shows of Kaptein Sabeltann on NRK in English. This has taken about as long as I suspected and I don't even know if people will watch them, but I had a lot of fun doing it 🥰✨ 🏴‍☠️

Here is the link to a drive with the shows.

A little about the shows and which order to watch them in:

"Captain Sabeltann and Gory Gabriel's Treasure"

Captain Sabeltann and his crew travels to Kjuttaviga where Pinky is sent ashore to spy on the people there to find out where Gory Gabriel's treasure is hidden.

2. "Captain Sabeltann and the Magical Diamond"

Captain Sabeltann and his crew goes to Shangri-La in the search for the Magical Diamond, a diamond that can fulfill wishes, but the evil Maga Khan is also on the hunt for the diamond. A small boy, Marco, has stolen the diamond in an effort to keep it away from Maga Khan and his queen.

3. "Captain Sabeltann and the Enchanted Island"

Captain Sabeltann and his crew has been plundering the island of Gral and stolen the Golden Tiger from the Count of Gral. The witch Miriam of Gral was supposed to guard the treasures of the Count, but the Count punishes her for failing and starts scheming to take revenge on Captain Sabeltann and his crew.

I think their video schedule has been based on sponsorship due dates and when their fiverr editors can get the videos done honestly, so that's probably why they're super random and definitely out of order.

the funny thing is that i don't see much randomness in their remarks. the react to pinofs was filmed after Nov 27 (catboy photoshoot), Lethal Company obviously as well (Nov 30-ish, not sure because of time zones). switch sports? that's difficult because Dan referred to their asses on the internet and the catboy pic IS in the video, but was he necessary talking about catboy's ass or was it a convenient coincidence? it could have been filmed within Nov 28-30 (hell, even Nov 26-27 if Dan planned the photoshoot in advance) and edited by Dec 1 and gotten Dragon City's approval if they have warned the manager about timing beforehand, it's not that hard. just interesting. can't wait to hyper-fixate on this analysis when gamingmas is over ahahaha
