I was pleasantly surprised when I got a ping from one of my favorite people in the world in actress Kelly Goudie-Price. She sent me a link to her newest film “The Wait” and I was quite excited to check it out. The cheetah and I settled in to watch this short which was written,acted and directed by Alex Butler.“The Wait” is set in a dystopian world where an outbreak has…
getting back into editing Angelic Kitty Miracle Chan today after taking a break after shooting all the footage and having some technical issues that were hard to solve. here are some gifs from the film's animated opening
All you Brennan Lee Mulligan fans should check out this strange and haunting short film he did in 2018, it's very good and impactful, definitely very emotionally riveting, disturbing, thought provoking. It's different from his other work because he is appearing as an actor with a different team (writer, director). The writing and directing is fantastic, holy shit, and the performances range from good to what the fuck (complimentary). It's a dark comedy, so there's lots of comedic moments and there's a glimmer of potential hope that can be read in it but it is also a gut wrenching exploration of trauma, survivor's guilt, and guilt by association... It's a lot, I could write a whole essay on it, it's fascinating.
(some content warnings may apply, it's a bit of a spoiler but there is a backstory involving violence against women committed by an offscreen character that isnt seen in any way but is a major visceral theme. It's something I like about it, but it definitely could be triggering and feel free to ask for clarification).
Mihawk is such a capricious dude, oh my god. The only dude you know who is always itching for a fight but only ever a specific kind of fight so he goes out of his way to take the path of least resistance for everything else.
Like he would rather leave than fight Don krieg, Sail away than decimate the marines, live in peace instead of challenging the other emperors for the one piece. And when they do he’d rather follow buggy’s idea of just being smarter about how they go about it instead of brute forcing it like the rest. He is constantly leaving fights but then a swordsman of mild repute and an interesting technique engages him in a battle and suddenly you have his whole attention. Like with vista it was obvious that he could have just cleared him like he did everyone else but he’d never seen the flower sword techinque and by god was he going to miss this chance. And so he engages him in what is essentially a spare.
Because Mans isn’t looking for a fight, instead, like a middle aged director of a short indie film, he’s chasing a feeling.
He wants to feel like his 19 year old self did when he was strong but there were people stronger. When there were still obstacles to overcome limits to exceed. When the world was large and exciting and he wasn’t just waiting for it to catch up with him. When he could look at Shanks as the person he is instead of the person he could have been.
He wants to look at Shanks and not see visions of a grinning red haired boy with 2 arms and a strawhat laughing in the dirt and asking for “just one more round Hawky I swear I’ll beat you this time”
But there is nowhere Mihawk can run that that boy won’t haunt him.
Posting this on tumblr because heck it why not? I put an insane amount of effort into this only for it to get overlooked but it's one of my favorite things I've made. Robots! Heists! Car crashes! Small character moments! Jumping onto and off of buildings!
