i wish more stuff looked like that season of doctor who where they were smearing vaseline on the camera

the noticeable overexposure of the film coupled with the tactile "ugliness" of the environments and costumes looks so good to me. genuinely dreamy

#Been rewatching this season with my mom lately and thought the same thing!#Delightfully dated filming #And the practical effects and costuming are so fun

I have no idea what prompted this but I'm holding this one captive in my ask box forever for my own amusement.

10 YEARS IN THE SALT MINES

Many accounts of the legendary mermaids may owe their existence not to a fish-like humanoid, but to the elusive sea beavers (Castor littoralis).

This species of rodent, much like its freshwater cousin, builds complex wooden structures, creating artificial reefs to farm fish and seaweed. Unlike their relatives, though, their supply of wood is limited. While most rely on driftwood or tear down human docks, some populations have opted to construct intricate lures, possibly to attract human attention and provoke shipwrecks. This brings in a new source of materials to grow their ever-larger barriers.

Last day to reblog this before Mermay ends. Last chance to prove the mermaid enjoyers in your life wrong with FACTS

Grace making a joke about how grossed out Rocky will be if he ever gets a cold, only to remember that he's likely never going to come in contact with another being remotely close enough to him, genetically, to possibly infect him with an illness.

"Grace leaking! Grace upset, question?"

"I taught at a middle school. I got sick every single cold and flu season. Now I'll never get another cold. These are tears of joy."

yes BUT ☝️

you do also just have a lot of microorganisms already living in and on you that can be pathogenic under the right conditions. and those right conditions are being sick, having tears/damage in your protective barriers, things from part A of the body making it to part B, etc. which means grace would probably get some CRAZY infections as side effects of his malnutrition and also as he ages, both cases when his body systems just can’t do the things they’re supposed to do. this doesn’t sound great since any antibiotics the hail mary was stocked with were intended for short-term use, making them yet another thing erid has to synthesize in addition to the whole alphabet of vitamins and whatnot. with even more urgency because infections will kill you much faster than malnutrition! but let’s assume they figure it out, as they always do. the eridians are competent.

he’s still going to get (pathogenically) sicker than he ever has before he can luxuriate in the lack of ever getting a cold again. it’s literally coughing babies versus hydrogen bomb.

gentle psa to new comic artists about a problem i also suffered from: slow quiet pacing is totally fine BUT if that's not what you're deliberately going for, you CAN fit more Story Progression on the page. no, more than that. more than that even. i promise if you don't want it to a single action doesn't need to take a whole page to illustrate each of its steps, a lot of connecting magic happens in the gutters i /promise/ if you draw someone pulling up in a car then skip to them walking in the door with groceries we will Understand that they unloaded the car and unlocked the house you feel me

#I am not a comic artist#but I had a similar problem when I was in film school#I call it “the door problem”#in my thesis film I had written that two characters walk out the back of the club into the alley behind the club#and my club location did not have a back alley but did have a side room that we used as the door#but that door opened in#and the location I used for the alley had a back door but that door opened outwards#and I knew it looked weird#I struggled framing the shots#and blocking the actors#and I got really really caught in my own head about how to make this door work#because to me it was really important that you saw every step from club to outside#because even though we had learned in school that you could transition it didn't feel right because it didn't feel like a new scene to me#(this being one of the struggles with a short film. It can all feel like one scene if your script is short!)#AND THEN#when we got into the editing room we just...cut the door transition entirely#initially not on purpose#what happened was that we decided to tighten up the timing by cutting non-linearly to the custom music I had commissioned#which made it much more experimental especially in comparison to my fellow classmates#however it showed me that the story still absolutely worked without needing to show how they got into the alley#the audience can infer the door#so now anytime I can feel myself getting stuck on something when I'm filming I think#“Is this a Door Problem?”#as a storyteller it's always a question of what is the absolute bare minimum you need to convey what you're trying to say#and sometimes that means you just need to already be outside the club

(via @currentlycreating )

Exactly! Film and comics are VERY similar mediums in this way, I love this. We should always be considering Door Problems
