Also, I learned today that if you have a post saved in Draft form and it is falsely flagged (like this one), Tumblr will not allow you to post from the App so you can then appeal.

You have to use the desktop/laptop version, post and then appeal.

But....since flag email notifications contain no links to any of the flagged posts....you may never find it unless you look under Draft.

tl:dr: Tumblr you fucked.

Excerpt from videlicet

OK so lemme expand a sec on matching.

So right now Fool For Love is playing in the other room; let’s break that down briefly. The scene is Spike telling Buffy about killing his last slayer and it’s a good example because it’s two fights cut together, into one, explicitly, so it’s easier to really see the matches. They are showing you the matches. The scenes are stitched together through these motion matches until they occupy the same space. By the eyeline match, they can have 70s Spike addressing 2000s Buffy and it’s perfectly coherent.

[YOUTUBE VIDEO UNAVAILABLE]

Consider that these two scenes are really four scenes - that all fight scenes are really shot as (at least two) separate scenes cut together because the actors and the stunt doubles both act out the scenes and then their motions are matched and cut together to form one percept.

Now realise ALL continuity editing does this - even in the same scene with the same actors. You can connect any clip to any other clip, from anything, so long as there’s some continuity of form: in shape, colour, motion, eyeline…

Which reminds me, in Pteryx’s interview she talks about the Buffy titles, which have to be acknowledged as massively influential on vidding*. 

Just spend some time watching these credits and look for motion matches, graphic matches. This is like that, this is like that. Once you start seeing them you’ll notice this all over.

Dawn’s eyebrow takes up the motion line. The motion builds a tangible space by bouncing itself against “walls”.

Watch it again with another eyebrow follow-through. Dawn is the key. :P

See how the motion moves one way and then resolves back: the conceptual “room” must have some limits, some rigid bodies and colliders

Swing the pendulum. Trace the arc

*As well as the Friends titles; I mean, the Friends titles basically slowly teach you how to edit (very simply) to music- they start off with the characters literally dancing to the music and then gradually over the yearsreplace each dance move with a clip from the show that dances in a similar way. There’s a reason making Friends Style Credits is a gateway drug.

thank you <3!!

I’ve mentioned my mauve/mauve project and I did finally get all the dragons I wanted, so i think it’s time to talk a little about them :D I’d been imagining them as a big farming family within Florabrisa so I’m excited to see them all starting to come together!

First we have Videlicet (Viz for short), an old fae who is considered the matriarch of the family! Viz has always been close to nature and enjoying the fruits of her labor. The snapper is Lodico, Viz’s twin sister! Lodico was never very interested in rigorous farming work, preferring going into education and studying in different parts of Sornieth. Despite their different lives, Viz and Lodico always remained close, Lodico never staying far from Viz for too long. Viz never had kids of her own, but Lodico had a few and Viz played a large role in raising them, making sure they at least had a chance to be part of the farming legacy Viz wanted haha

Selkirk the obelisk is Lodico’s youngest child! Selkirk isn’t 100% sure what they want in life yet, but they love Florabrisa and are happy helping their aunt around the farm for now. I’m not 100% sure about the status of Lodico’s other kids (Pompey and Metto). I actually have them still but since I just used them purely to breed the dragons I wanted I never got attached to them and don’t really need them but can’t quite bring myself to let them become fodder either sdgfd we’ll see what happens.

and then next we have Otisco (pearlcatcher) and Harmony (tundra)! Lodico’s grandkids through Metto. They are farmers though I think Harmony is a lot more into it than Otsico who might take more after Lodico haha
