Editing and compositing tips & tricks!! :D

I often get requests for big tutorials for video editing and digital compositing, but due to a tight schedule I can never seem to get the time to do just that. But I managed to create this post and I hope that it will be helpful to some degree, wether you are a beginner or not.

All these pointer are to help you create a more believable manip/scene. The examples below will consist mostly of Non-Disney crossovers, but these tips  are useful in any kind of visual storytelling, especially film. ;)

PS: If there is another cinematic guideline that you think I should write about, send me a message and I might add it here later. 

THE CHARACTERS´ SIZE 

 If the characters are just beside each-other, then they should be around the same size (not taking hight and build into account). The reason why this is important is because if the characters are not the same size it will either look really off, and/or give the impression that they are not close to one-another at all.

Buck, my sweet summer child, you still were constantly trying to get Eddie’s attention when Tommy wasn’t there. You are so close baby girl, but you take your time with Tommy, that’s okay.

I really don't think enough English people understand just how ubiquitous the assertion that Cornwall isn't English is amongst Cornish people. Even Cornish people who don't feel strongly about independence will tell you that Cornwall is not in England

At a board games night a trivia question came up that read "What English county is known for its pasties" and every Cornish person in the room without hesitation replied "it's not English". I don't know how they feel about independence, the response is just automatic

Growing up my Cornish mother taught me about the Cornish language and independence movement. She doesn't really care about Cornish independence but it was important to her that I knew about it

Back when I still liked Harry Potter (fuck jkr) I mentioned Professor Trelawny to her and it turned into a lesson about The Song of the Western Men. She told me that in primary school their houses were named after important people from Cornish history (Trelawny, Trevithick, Landor and Davey iirc). Someone once told me that England invented the steam train and my mum immediately responded "No, it was invented by Trevithick" (not sure how you could mistake him for an Englishman when his name was Trevithick)

And it's only ever English people who seem surprised by this. When I told my English flatmates that Cornwall isn't in England they were shocked, but my Welsh flatmates understood it as a given

Hi! If you don't mind, could you expand on the Cornwall is (not?) England post? I'm a little confused but extremely intrigued

Sure!

Cornwall is a Brythonic Celtic nation. Culturally and historically it has more in common with Wales and Brittany (and, more distantly, other Celtic nations) than it does with England. At one point in history the Welsh and the Cornish were very connected, but England now physically separates them (Side note: this is why people refer to King Arthur as Welsh, despite him being born in Tintagel in Cornwall. "Welsh" here is being used to refer more broadly to Brythonic people) Cornwall has its own language, mythology, music etc

While Wales gets some legal recognition as a nation (though not enough imo), Cornwall and Brittany do not and are considered a part of England and France respectively. Some Cornish people want independence, others just want more recognition than they currently have, and a lot of us are focused on the No Second Homes movement

Because of all of this, Cornish people don't consider Cornwall to be a part of England. As of the last census, 14% of people in Cornwall define their national identity as Cornish and nothing else (bearing in mind that due to the extreme rate of second homes, a lot of people in Cornwall at the time of the census may not have been Cornish)

Like I said, even Cornish people who don't feel strongly about independence will state as a fact that Cornwall is not English. It's just understood as a given, for the same reasons that Wales is not considered English
