PLEASE BE PATIENT!!! This has taken me two nights already and I'm only like 8 minutes into this fucking film guys holy shit.

I would like to make the master reference a communal effort and communal resource. I'll be adding onto it as I go, but I think this would just be so much faster with multiple people on the job. TuT

I'm building a file structure (as you see pictured, with various containers for item photos). I need to fill those folders with images of said specific items. So, I'm sending you guys on a treasure hunt! If you know how to take high-res screencaps of Iron Lung, please consider contributing.

My unfinished work is now available as a Google Drive folder to be sifted through. Feel free to utilize what's already there. Also, if you need reference images of something that has not been added yet, ask me. I will go and get them for you, and then add them to the master.

I'm looking for the following, in general:

Facial expressions

Unique angles (for artists looking to make comics, those hyper-specific angles are to-die-for!)

Detailwork/material textures/visual identity mapping

Prop items (even as small as a marker or COI badge)

Environment images from unique angles

All black box photos (holy moly please help. Simon took SO MANY PICTURES.) <- Done!

Interesting things, like catching Mark looking at the camera LOL

Behind the scenes photos, concept art, anything related to production

Shapiro drowning in Dubois’ EVA suit. Dubois with Shapiro's suit taped to him and her helmet balanced on top of his head

Grace looking at the camera confused while the core time circle around him like the one girl surrounded by five guys meme

Stratt reclined on a couch looking demure with a coffee mug and using Grace's legs as a lap board for her tablet. Grace is dead asleep, obviously snoring with his mouth wide open and covered in reports. His glasses are on Stratt's head.

Carl walking by the camera with Grace thrown over his shoulder. Grace is visibly pleased and yapping.

Illyukhina walking by the camera with Grace thrown over her shoulder. Grace looks vaguely ill.

Yao passionately doing karaoke with each of the core staff members.

Lamai asleep on a prototype coma bed.

Steve Hatch maternity shoot with the Beatles.

Grace and Dimtri using a centrifuge to make butter.

Grace and Dimitri getting yelled at by Lokken for using a centrifuge to make butter.

Dubois carrying Grace and Shapiro under each arm to the cafeteria. They all are talking like this is a normal occurrence.

Yao hanging upside down from a simulator that glitched with a straight face while Illyukhina is crying laughing on the floor below him.

Compilation video of the world's greatest minds dropping tools, tripping, and running into the glass walls.

Videos of the astronauts defeatedly drifting away from the mock ship in the buoyancy tank after losing their grip. The others are dramatically reaching out for them.

Point is, with all of that, Mav has no idea about everything that Ice does for him. About all the favors he's constantly collecting and trading in, the pissed off brass he keeps dealing with because of him.

Maybe the way he finally figures it out is some bitter pissed off Commander making some remarks in a meeting with him. After being dismissed, he goes straight for the phone and dials the last number he remembers Ice having.

Maybe he's kinda pissed off at first - maybe because the Commander called him "Kazansky's pet project" and that's the last thing he wants to be. And Ice isn't exactly happy either because he wasn't really planning on Mav ever actually finding out, so it throws him off - maybe because he never quite figured out how to explain himself, how to say that he cares about Mav so much (loves him, even) and that it's clear to him that Mav needs to fly maybe more than he needs to breathe and he just wants him to be happy.

It gives much more depth with the relationship between Ice and Mav, its so great. Ice takes the step. We can tell he’s uncomfortable, pausing and having to think about what to say. Its a puncture in the mask that Tom acquired: “ice cold, no mistakes”

It shows he cares enough to reach out. To give his apologies and sympathy. To once again show Mav that — despite their pissing contest — theyre on the same team. Its so significant because, while everyone is trying to get Mav up in the air and moving on, Ice solidifies that the loss of Goose matters. That it happened and it’s going to suck and Mav is not just someone reckless the Navy tolerates, but a person that lost a brother. And the scene proves that Ice is there if Mav needs him. If he doesnt? Ice gives him space.

‘Maverick’ is a title. A manifestation of his audacious nature and snark. And when Goose dies, it all goes away. Mav turns indecisive and small in comparison to his “larger than life” attitude. So when Ice calls him ‘Mitchell’, it almost verifies that Maverick is allowed to be something other than ‘Maverick.’ Hes allowed to feel that loss.

Carole and her malewife Nick Bradshaw because they’re totally enamored with eachother. Also ignore how messy it is I doodled them in like 10 minutes because I’m always thinking about them. MY FAVORITE STRAIGHT COUPLE AHHH!
