i just want to say, for people reblogging this, that this is called the “rule of thirds” and the tips i wrote here by no means are things that you HAVE to do! these are just tips i use for myself, i kind of made up the bubble rule and i dont even know if im using the rule right haha so there theres that! i just like to use it so i know my bubbles have a place to go

examples of me using rule of thirds to separate elements in “Rachael and Penny”

i got the information a long time ago from a thread on penciljack called Storytelling 101, specifically this image

there is tons of information on rule of thirds available, i know eyecager has a post that dips into it ….

[lizardtitties]

This is also hella useful for photography composition, especially for landscape and architecture shots

[cookiepweeee]

@meirupo This is useful.

Hasebe’s fellow actors love riling him up lol

[shewasanamericangirl]

ok it’s time for me to FUCKING SCREAM about kamen rider zi-o episode 35 because there was a lot of good shit in it! many many screencaps under the cut.

so our dramatic opening scene right away made me think of kamen rider ryuki–a convict doing time for murder, frustrated with being stuck in a cell, receives a surprise visit from a shady individual offering the power of a kamen rider.

[2018.12.27] Touken Ranbu: The Movie Screening Event Highlights Part 2

≫ Part 1 here ≪

When asked on his thoughts on the filming of the first ever Touken Ranbu movie, Hiroki said that there’s already been so many adaptations of Touken Ranbu that he for a moment forgot that it hadn’t been made into a movie yet. He was also surprised that they let actors from the stage play be the actors in the movie too, and hopes that their experience from the stage play would be reflected in the film.

When it was Mackey’s turn to answer this question, he first answered: Mackey: …What he said. Wada: You can’t just end it there!

Hiroki talked about how in the stage play both the actors and the audience had to imagine there were in a certain location, but in the movie, the set was all around them. Thanks to this, they experienced a lot of new things. Hiroki: Like how hard it is to fight on gravel road. Mackey: You’d trip [if you aren’t careful]. Hiroki: The sand was incredible.

When asked about other hardships, Hiroki shared how he experienced how hard it was fight using a tachi indoors. Tachi are quite long so they’re hard to use in small spaces. “…And the Time Retrograde Army just kept on charging at me in spite of that…”

Mackey mostly had outdoor scenes, and felt it was hard to attack in coordination with someone else.

When it was Iwanaga’s turn to answer the question, he first said that the shoot was tough for everyone, but then went on to say: Iwanaga: They made me wait for 10 hours on my first day…. Wada: Don’t tell them that! Mackey: Your choice of words. XD

[Red Carpet Walk] [Part 1] [Part 2] [Nishikawa’s comment] [“Big hit” with the drone]

When asked about what difficulties they faced while shooting, Kitamuu (and Taizo) answered “wearing short shorts”. There are many bloodsucking insects in the mountain, and Taizo was the first “victim”, so to speak. When he slapped away the insect feasting on his thigh, a lot of blood came gushing out. So they panicked and thought it was a leech that bit him, but it turned out to be a black fly. Taizo then went on to try and explain how black flies feed on people, but Wada stopped him: Wada: We don’t need to know about that! Enough! We don’t want to hear it! Kitamuu: Tai-chan’s learned a lot about black flies thanks to what he experienced! Mackey: Yeah, he really knows a lot about black flies! If you want to know more about them, ask him! Taizo: I got most of the info from Wikipedia though. Iwanaga: You even did an image search to identify it. Taizo: Yeah, I looked for it so bad. Once I did, I went, “You!!”

The movie was shot last March, and the forest was freezing during nighttime. The staff was kind enough to provide leg warmers (Kitamuu describes it as something like blankets that they can wrap around their legs) for Kitamuu and Taizo though. Taizo: Though they probably only provided those ‘cause I complained too much. Kitamuu: Don’t be like that!

Fuma talked about how he was new to doing stage combat, and how his seniors, like Kitamuu, for example, taught him things during their breaks and practiced with him. He also saw Hiroki keep on “pulling out and putting back” his sword during their breaks. 

Mackey & Hiroki: Drawing and sheathing, you mean. Wada: Don’t call it “putting back”!!! You’re in Touken Ranbu for crying out loud! Fuma: Right. MC: So he was “pulling out and putting back” his sword? Fuma: After seeing him do that, I decided to practice “pulling out and putting back” my sword too. Wada: *laughs*

Touken Ranbu: The Movie Cast Roundtable Talk, A Summary ①

This is from Ginmaku no Touken Danshi, the behind the scenes special for the Touken Ranbu movie. Part 1 is discussion between the actors of: Honebami Toushirou: Sadamoto Fuma Yamanbagiri Kunihiro: Aramaki Yoshihiko Yagen Toushirou: Kitamura Ryo

How was the shoot? 　♔ The movie was shot in March while the temperature was still low, so Kitamu’s legs were cold. 　♔ On-screen, it might look like it was a very tense shoot, but the cast and staff actually got on pretty well.

Which scene did you have difficulty with? Which were you satisfied with? 　♔ Fuma’s favorite scene was when the Toushirou brothers fought alongside one another to defeat the enemies. 　　Mackey: Ooohh! Shhhh!  　　Everyone: *puts their finger on their lips* 　　Kitamu, plays dumb: Will there be a scene like that? Will there? 　♔ Mackey’s favorite was the opening part, where they walked between rows of cedar trees. He thought the footage turned out great even though all they did was walk (in character). Kitamu said that was difficult for him because of his allergy to pollen.

Touken Ranbu: The Movie Cast Roundtable Talk, A Summary ②

This is from Ginmaku no Touken Danshi, the behind the scenes special for the Touken Ranbu movie. Part 2 is discussion between the actors of: Nihongou: Iwanaga Hiroaki Heshikiri Hasebe: Wada Masanari Uguisumaru: Hirose Tomoki Fudou Yukimitsu: Shiina Taizo

Taizo, as he sits down: Whew! Hirose: Whew~ Hirose, points at Taizo: Only old men act like that! Wada: You did the same thing!

Any special memories with other cast? 　♔ Iwanaga shared how Yashima Norito only had scenes with Wada and Iwanaga, and it was a lot of fun. Hirose was envious that they worked with Yashima. When you see the latter act, you could tell he was an experienced actor. Wada said he learned a lot from him. Yashima always gives his 100% when he acts, even during dry runs.

　♔ Taizo’s scenes were mostly with Wada and Hirose.Wada brought up how Hirose went strawberry picking: 　　Wada: Didn’t you go strawberry picking? 　　Hirose: I did, but are you really bringing that up now? 　　Iwanaga: And he didn’t go with his fellow cast members; he went there by himself! 　　They asked him if he had fun doing that, and he answered that it was lonely doing it on his own. 　♔ The day after, Hirose had a scene with the Wada and Taizo, and he failed to say his lines 3 times, much to Wada and the staff’s amusement. Taizo was on standby far from where they were filming, he had no idea why everyone was laughing. He’d come up to where everyone was every time and be like, “What, what is it?” Only to find out Hirose made a mistake.

[2018.12.27] Touken Ranbu: The Movie Screening Event Highlights Part 1

Red Carpet Entrance

Wada, Hasebe’s actor, yelling out “Taizo~!” (Fudou’s actor’s name) when it was Taizo’s turn to walk on the red carpet.

When it was Hirose's  (Uguiusumaru’s actor) turn to walk on the red carpet, Wada told Hirose to slow down because he was walking way too fast. Hirose decided to walk back a few steps and do it over. :P

Wada prompting the audience to scream for the director, and the Touken Danshi cheering for him as well.

Hiroki, Mikazuki’s actor, later on revealed that they asked to take their time walking on the red carpet. (A minute each, to be exact.) He was already feeling nervous when he put on the tuxedo, and felt even more nervous when the staff instructed them how long they had to walk. And what’s more, he was the first one to walk on the carpet, so there was pressure on him to be a good example for everyone who’s going to walk after him.

Cast Intro

Wada talking before the MC could introduce him again, and his reaction when everybody told him off for talking too early. He jokingly said that he had his hair done with Hasebe in mind, and that he’s in high spirits because it’s his first time having his hair done like that.

Hirose greeting the audience and saying “Yes, hello!” before they could greet him back lol. Also, him asking his parents if they’re watching even though he knew they couldn’t be since they were on a trip during that time.

Stage Greeting Outfits

Their outfits for the day were based on the characters they play.

First off, they commented on how Mackey’s (Manba’s actor) white tuxedo stands out. It kind of felt like he was pretending to be in Kouhaku, Wada added. In the dressing room, they thought about maybe dirtying up his tuxedo a little since Manba’s mantle isn’t that clean. :P

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

[socialistexan]

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.
