Yall ever think about the worlds you created when you were younger, the countless hours you spent pouring your heart and soul into characters and world building and stories and the inevitable passage of time slowly pulls it away from you
Kinda been feeling like that a lot lately. Couple with depression, a full time job and lack of motivation, it's killed off any drive I have to be creative, to want to make characters or worlds or stories
I wish I could go back to those days, days where I had the energy and drive
Eartheater breaking real glass with her voice required research & rehearsal. Factors included glass temperature, size, shape, age, pitch & physical stamina. No special FX used: captured all in camera at 1000+ fps.
I feel like the Picard show would be better if Picard wasn’t in it. Give me more Worf and Raffi shenanigans. Seven can show up if she and Raffi agree to play nice and stay girlfriends for more than 5 minutes, and Worf can have lunches with Beverly. Sometimes stuff happens and they slice-n-dice and/or outsmart their opponents.
anyway, a series of things I did not notice about the little spinny thing pav does while rescuing civilians from freefall, yknow the one:
he's not holding them all with one hand, he made a second loop of webs to catch his diabolo again in his other hand so it would be more secure
I can't get a good picture of it but it's the same way he caught the diabolo in his introduction after he hit the spot with it and I like that repetition
the reason he does the mid-air spin is to catch the other 'end' of the loop with his foot and wind it around his waist, to free up his hand to grab miles' arm when miles comes swooping down to catch him
(the web is staying wound around his waist because he caught it with his leg and folded his leg up so it wouldn't slip off)
also presumably it worked to slow their fall and heft the civilians a little higher, so they'll land on that roof instead of crashing into the side of the building
there's also a tiny animation error here since pavitr is still wearing his bracers/bangles on both wrists even though he's using his diabolo to do his yoyo tricks!
I actually double-checked another scene because I wouldn't put it past the costume design to have the suit coloured gold and red under the bracer but nah, in this bit his wrist is pretty clearly bare after he flicks it off:
in conclusion: this scene fucks even harder now that it makes sense to me, 10/10
For some reason, a lot of people think peafowl can't fly, but I think it's only because they don't realize peafowl are basically all wing and tail, and are extremely kite shaped when they want to be.
