When I was introduced to Thought of You, a short animated piece by Ryan Woodward , I was immediately captivated by not only the amazing gestures behind his movements but the style, and utilisation of 2D FX to enhance it form a simple live-action study. I love how it isnt so strict with the how the figure allowing for roughs sketches and construction lines to seep through without once distracting from the visuals. In fact, it think the instability very much adds to the story it’s trying to tell.
As my final product, I’ve decided to settle on making a short animated scene inspired by this, incorporating that seamless realistic movements using 2D effects to push it out of realism and into something more fantastical.
As told in his making of video Woodward decided that to get the result he desired he’d have to get real footage of a contemporary dance to work from. So he had a piece choreographed that perfectly told his story in a way that could be perfectly elevated by the visuals he’d add. With my budget and time frame, this is not something I’d be able to source myself however something I want to really take from this is using my visuals purposely. Anything I add should be used to convey the emotions of my subject.
It's Music Monday! I've never met an animator who didn't love this video. But I realized it probably doesn't extend far beyond us, so I hope someone not in animation clicks this today and has three minutes of feeling like your body exhaled peacefully. I will add this is not the official music video for this song--come to think of it I've never seen the official video. This is just one man's passion project of a video, and it's lovely.
Every now and again I remember that "Thought Of You" by Ryan Woodward exists and my whole entire concept of beauty gets realigned with this piece in particular.
'El Hombre Gris' es tan solo uno más de los mediocres intentos de Netflix por lanzar una franquicia. Lamentablemente lo lograrán.
Basada en la novela homónima de Mark Greany. Cuando un agente de la CIA descubre comprometedores secretos de la agencia, se enfrenta a un sociópata que lo busca por todo el mundo y que le puso precio a su cabeza.
Netflix aún tiene un propósito en la mira, ser la casa de grandes franquicias al nivel de Marvel, Star Wars, etc. Está cerca de lograrlo con Stranger Things, pero no es suficiente,…
The one thing I’m grateful to the Glazers for doing. 😂 If they’d invested in the football aspects of club with as much savvy as they did the commercial, we’d be back-to-back Champions League winners by now.
First of all, thank you to @harmoonix for inspiring me to make this post!
I wanted to share some key thing I've observed that you should look out for in your Groom (5129) and Briede (19029) persona charts if you want to know what placements your future spouse might have. Look at Groom PC if you're looking to marry a man and Briede PC if you're looking to marry a woman. These asteroids move very slowly so in order to get more insight about your person looking at these charts is important
For other options you can apply these to Descendent PC and to a lesser extent Juno PC, those can ring true as well, but the main research of this post is focused on Groom/briede
These are patterns I've extracted based on my research analyzing the charts of married couples. Presented in no particular order
… in the groom/briede pc. This I’ve seen correlated mainly to the Sun or Asc of spouse since it is indicative of their main personality traits and characteristics. It can also relate to other prominent placements/energies of spouse
Hailey Bieber has Scorpio ASC in her Groom PC and Justin Bieber is a Scorpio ASC
Justin Bieber has Sagittarius ASC in his Briede PC and Hailey is a Sagittarius ASC
One of my clients had Cancer ASC on her Groom PC and her husband was a water ASC with moon in his 1st house
Blake Lively has Sagittarius ASC with Uranus, Saturn and Neptune 1st house in her Groom PC and her husband Ryan is a mutable rising. It’s worth mentioning the he’s also known for having a bold, eccentric (Uranus) and humorous personality, he's also older than her (Saturn) and he's from a different country (sag). He also has Sagittarius IC and Venus
Joanne Woodward has Virgo Asc in her Groom pc with its ruler falling in Libra and her husband Paul Newman was an earth rising with Venus and Mercury conjunct his Asc
this one is so important! 9/10 your spouse's moon will have similar qualities as the moon in your groom/briede pc or spouse might have placements in this sign
Most common case in my research: spouse’s moon is in the same element or modality as the moon in the Groom/Bride pc
Other example is a client of mine had Cancer moon in his Briede pc and his wife had Moon-Jupiter conjunction in her chart (jupiter expands moon’s qualities and is also exalted in cancer)
I’ve seen these being a less literal indicative of actual placement but it does show prominent energies in spouse definitely, specially within the relationship
pay attention to this one!!! I’ve seen it being SO accurate! I’ve noticed that if a planet (particularly inner planet) is in good or bad dignity in your groom/briede pc, your fs will likely have that planet in one of its signs of domicile, exaltation, fall or detriment. This also makes that particular planet significant in your person’s chart (meaning it might be dominant, on the angles, in joy houses, etc)
Mila Kunis has Scorpio Mars (mars’ domicile) in her Groom PC and Ashton Kutcher is a Cancer Mars (mars’ detriment)
She also has Sun in Aries (sun’s exaltation) in her groom pc chart and Ashton in an Aquarius Sun (sun’s debilitation)
The client I mentioned above also had Aries Sun in his briede pc and his wife had her Sun in the 9th house (sun’s joy)
Blake Lively has Taurus Moon (moon’s exaltation) in her Groom PC and Ryan is a Scorpio Moon (moon’s detriment)
Grace Kelly had Libra Venus (venus domicile) in her Groom pc and her husband was a Taurus Venus (venus domicile)
similar to the last point. The common consensus I’ve seen with this one is that if you have a certain planet in an angular house in the groom/briede pc, your spouse likely has that planet in an angular house too or that planet is significant in them
The Sign That Your Groom Is In, In Your Groom Persona Chart Could Tell You What Your Life Partners Chart Ruler, What Planet Is In Their First House, OR What Sign Their Chart Ruler is In.
Blake Lively: Groom in Gemini - Ryan Reynolds: Mercury Chart Ruler
Victoria Beckham: Groom in Libra - David Beckham: Venus Chart Ruler
Rita Wilson: Groom in Sagittarius - Tom Hanks: Jupiter in 1st House
Priscilla Presley: Groom in Sagittarius - Elvis Presley: Jupiter Chart Ruler
Joanne Woodward: Groom in Libra - Paul Newman: Venus in 1st House
My Mom: Groom in Sagittarius - My Dad: Jupiter in 1st House
Catherine Zeta-Jones: Groom in Leo - Michael Douglas: Chart Ruler in Leo
Your use of Reaction Images from the new Feid is inspired. Do you have any particular take on the new season? Personally I thought it was a bit melencholy and less campy that I would expect from a Ryan Murphy show (I know he didn’t write or direct this one).
I think it had some interesting things to say about the complex real life and media trope of the Gay Best Friend, and the resentments that build on both sides of that relationship but also the joys of it, but the structure and timeline of everything was kind of off putting.
Thanks for reading! Love your blog!
Aw, thank you!
My sister and I were talking about the series last night, and here's where we landed:
-The story or narrative was vague and/or undecided. At no point did Murphy and the others writing and directing ever decide, really, how they felt about the characters involved, and, by extension, where the audience is supposed to land or approach the characters. There's a difference between "these people are flawed and complex but ultimately we should be [sympathetic/unsympathetic] towards them" and "they're complicated and flawed!"
-The characterization, and indeed the writing in general, was very clunky and...not great. Lots of cliches, lots of stereotypes, lots of generalities, and at times the characters all had the same kind of voice.
-There was SO MUCH Telling as opposed to Showing. It was the only way viewers would be given any kind of indication what sort of stake or element was involved. It was lazy and detrimental.
-There were also what felt like Obligatory Virtue Signal Moments put in because it was expected or necessary and then things could progress. The sexism/misogyny element which kind of gets introduced in the first/second episode gets dropped very quickly and is almost never referenced again. The homophobia and Gay Best Friend element is mentioned sporadically throughout, with the heaviest concentration in the James Baldwin episode) but doesn't really come to any conclusions about how we're supposed to feel.
-The pacing and timeline *were definitely* off-putting - I think the jumping around was a detriment (especially because a lot of establishing moments for the friendship of the swans and Capote were scattered about). Starting with La Cote Basque 1965 was the wrong choice, because you have the explosion up front and then have to figure out how you're going to build up and progress from there. There's also, because of the Telling versus Showing, a lot of build up for certain events and moments, which don't pay off or get pulled off - the Black and White Ball is an example of that, I think.
-Additionally, the shifts in the kind of framing for the show hurt it - the first two episodes are a conventional set up, then you have the shift to the black and white documentary, then you're kind of back to the conventional set up, and then the last two episodes are weird dream sequences and kind of shoddy conjecture?
-As much as I like Molly Ringwald and Demi Moore, choosing to include/elevate Joanne Carson and Ann Woodward to this extent was a poor choice, as was not including what I feel are the more actual interesting swans (Pamela Harriman, my personal fave, as well as Gloria Guinness and Marella Agnelli) and making Babe the primary Swan wasn't necessarily the best choice.
-So much time was spent on Babe's cancer and Truman's alcoholism, to the detriment of fleshing out literally any and all of the other characters and stories, and both of those story elements were handled poorly.
-The James Baldwin episode was probably my least favorite because of how all-around bad it was, which is really unfortunate because there could have been potential there.
-Going into this series, Murphy and the others seemed to have made what my sister and I are calling the "Somehow, Palpatine returned" choice, aka the Marvelization Maneuver. In order to really follow along, you either had to be familiar with Truman Capote and the Swans and 1970s New York society, *and/or* have read Laurence Leamer's book, which the series was inspired by. So much was not explained or depicted, and so you have a higher bar to clear to engage with the material. And if you do have that background, because of the other choices, you would be disappointed because you *do* know the background and saw what was chosen to be used.
-I also think that an emphasis on the aesthetics versus the story was involved, which is also unfortunate.
I was excited and there were moments I *did* like, but there was a lot to be disappointed about.
