Yeah. It seems to shift around on the frame a bit, so I was thinking they put some sparkles on a black background, shone a light at it, filmed it, then did another exposure on the animated cel. The thing that's throwing me is the colors within the sparkle. Can a double exposure could get that?

Thinking about making a silverware set where they have little AK-47 grips sculpted on their handles and becoming a millionaire.

If you've ever been in or seen a fight, you know stuff happens faster than you think. If you're going into something knowing that your job is to record a situation, turn the phone sideways.

There's a reason sports and news is shot this way, because you need that side-to-side space, just in case.

Reaction time is going to be whatever it is.

However, let's say someone suddenly moves left while you're recording them. An iphone camera is 16:9. That means a vertical video has 56% less side-to-side footage being recorded than a horizontal one.

That's 56% less time to capture what's happening.

The weirdest thing is that something being an IP that no one has heard of is STILL preferred over originals.

IP is the most important thing, being good in any other way is secondary.

If you were to ask me what utopia looks like, I'd say it's the Moomin books. It's not that everything is provided for you, but that people are at peace with what they have, don't constantly worry all the time, and freedom to go explore the world is something you can do if you'd like. It's perfect.

I just watched a video of an ICE officer kicking over and stomping on a candle set up as a vigil.

Who does that help? What does that show beyond the idea that these people LIKE doing this and they're doing it intentionally?

This really hurts and it feels very personal. It really really hurts.

It's really hard to describe to someone who hasn't moved far away from where they grew up, but it's a very primal thing that you never expect to affect you the way it does.

The sights and sounds of home being perverted and twisted into the sounds of screaming and horror and you can't go help.
