Easy on the rice though.

What’s also great about this is that every banana is exactly the same size so you know it’ll work with any banana!

I hear you! I work in the field and felt like giving context, it’s hard to know what’s common knowledge and not sometimes. The main point is, a lot of this stuff isn’t “mistakes” but either deliberate so as not to distract or just way more convenient for the production pipeline.

Unfortunately a lot of European countries have been going down that dark path, just not as far along as the US. I’m cautiously hopeful that the current events will help steer us back in the right direction but we’ll see…

insert any European watching Eurotrip, where London, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome are all shot in Prague

They probably didn’t even record any sounds when they shot the scene.

There’s a few reasons for this, firing the real siren on set is not practical due to the audio levels, they could maybe record it separately but that’s an extra thing to do, and why bother when “air_raid_siren_004.wav” is right there? Also audiences are used to “air_raid_siren_004.wav” and they’ll know immediately what it’s supposed to be, if you played the real sounds and it’s too unusual, it’ll make the audience think about it and take them out of the story. There’s so much stuff like this I’m filmmaking where if you stop to think about it critically for a second it doesn’t make sense, but that’s the point they don’t want you thinking about that, they want you thinking about the story and the characters. I know that’s frustrating when it’s your topic but I’m sure you’re glad they do it like this in any other case.

More space on the desk for 143 empty cans of monster.

I’m convinced this is how I’ll die, I regularly get it down the wrong hatch and some day that piece of chicken or whatever will just be a bit too big to get it out/in again… Now that I think about it, it hasn’t happened in a while, maybe just so I let my guard down…

Crazy how different people react differently to things, I don’t chew gum often but I did try it again when I started controlling my diet and for me it just seems to activate my hunger, like my brain thinks “I’m chewing something, time to prepare the stomach for receiving food!”.

slow clap 👏

Next stop: banning folks just for looking/spending too much time on these posts.

Lost me at “eye contact”.

It’s clearly just binary code.

In case anyone’s wondering, there’s a few reasons for that. Firstly, of course the subject itself is badass. Secondly composition-wise we have what I call a “dynamic diagonal” which leads your eyes from the main subject to the background following the same line. The subject is back/side-lit with hard light giving an intense contrasty look. Finally, and that’s probably the main one, the fog/smoke is lifting up the shadows as you move into the picture away from the camera, making the main subject much more contrasty and stand out from the background despite being overall the same colours/brightness.

To be fair I’ve done that too haha.

Pierogi?

It could indicate that investors don’t like these moves and see it as a risk for the future of the company. Or it could indicate that line goes up or down randomly, who knows, not the folks on wall street that’s for sure.
