"warm, shallow seas" is one of the most beautiful phrases in paleontology and it's everywhere... these mollusks lived in warm, shallow seas... scientists think that photosynthetic life evolved in warm, shallow seas... in that era the Earth was covered by warm, shallow seas...

I wish I was resting by an antediluvian warm, shallow sea

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

I really like the mundanity of day-to-day Pokemon life, because while you can be a world-famous Pokemon trainer you can also be Steve From Accounting who works a normal desk job and just so happens to own a giant lizard with axes for teeth

You know what I find fascinating about the Backrooms movie? How having a budget forced them to do things practically.

Think about it. On his own Kane Pixels was making backrooms YouTube videos using the free software Blender. Because he was just a 16 year old kid doing this for fun in his spare time.

But now he’s got to direct a feature length movie. And if he wants actors running through those same blender environments, that’s going to be super expensive hiring visual effects companies to rotoscope and green screen composite and motion track all those shots. A handful of visual effect shots can cost thousands of dollars a day.

So what’s the solution? JUST FUCKING BUILD IT.

It’s cheaper to just build 30,000 square feet of walls and wallpaper than it is to composite 500 effects shots.

What about the monster? JUST BUILD A PUPPET. It’s cheaper to build a puppet and hire a really tall thin guy to operate it than it is to 3D model, animate, and composite it into the film. And look! Bonus! Anytime the puppet interacts with the real world it looks REAL. Because it’s a real physical object in the set!

You need your character to run through a room of couches? Just buy (or rent) a bunch of couches and put them in a room!

And even when you do use visual effects for set extensions, you still film as much practically as possible. Like my favorite example, when Mary runs out into this alleyway… JUST FILM A REAL ALLEYWAY OUTSIDE and add the walls in post!

And this is all because the movie even HAD a budget that it necessitated them doing things practically and cheaply. What a weird paradoxical situation, huh?
