This May Be An Unpopular Opinion (even On Tumblr) But Like The 8-hour Workday Is Just Too Gotdamn Long

this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long

like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal

doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

Title card reading: [Storyboarding Basics. Brought to you by NU Animation Club, March 23 2023]. There is a chibi drawing of Feeb drawing on a CINTIQ
Types of shots: Distance from the camera  Close shot: intimacy, emphasis on charater emotion. Example is a close up shot of Gandalf’s face from Fellowship of the Ring.  Long shot: grandiose, emphasis on location. Example is a long shot of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn arriving at Rohan, visible on a hill in the distance, from the Two Towers.  Note: never start with a close shot. Start with as much location as possible to set the stage for your audience
Rule of thirds: Divide the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically. Try and keep focal points (like eyes) where the lines intersect!  Incorrect example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes below the top third horizontal line.  Correct example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes on the top third horizontal line.
Don’t cut characters off: make sure not to cut off a shot at the characters’ joints. Be especially careful of knees, elbows, hips.  Incorrect example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s wrist. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s ankles.   Correct example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s forearm. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s calves.
What is “shorthand”?  Shorthand: a very simplified art style for storybordd that prioritized shape  Do: include shape, size, expression  Do not: include detail  Example is an image of Ryuk from Death Note besides a shorthand drawing of him to scale.  These are NOT illustrations / lineart, they are GUIDES!
Perspective & Gridlines: It is NECESSARY to include gridlines to make your perspective clear for the background artist.   An incorrect example shows Araluna falling on a blank background.  Three correct examples show the same image with gridlines in the background. One shows the gridline as a flat ground. The other shows the gridlone a slanted background in fish eye perspective. The last shows the gridline as a receding wall parallel to the character.
Perspective cheat code: No matter how close characters* are to the camera, the horizontal line will always cross them at the same part of their body.  * must be the same height  Incorrect example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim at his shoulders and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at his knees.  Correct example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at their shoulders.
Perspective tip! Try to avoid having the horizon line run through the middle of the screen.  Raising or lowering the the horizon gives your shots a cinematic feel.  Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing the center of the frame.   Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the top of the frame.   Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the bottom of the frame.

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

monsterhigh-fanatic - Y R U Here???

Hey, you. Yeah, you. Reading this right now. Stop what you’re doing for a few minutes and read this, okay? It’s important. It’ll only take a few minutes, I promise.

Let me start off by telling you how incredibly brave you are. I’m serious. You’re living in an uncertain world, and you still woke up today. It doesn’t matter if you got out of bed. If you got dressed. You’re awake. You’re here, with us. With the community online that loves you. You’re here. You could have hidden yourself away today. But you didn’t. You were brave and came to be with your friends today.

You know what else, though? You’re a wonderful person. No, don’t argue. Just listen for now. It’s okay. You don’t have to believe it for it to be true. You have been through so much. It has made you stronger. You are so strong. That doesn’t mean you have to be strong all the time, though. You’re allowed to be weak. You’re allowed to need to lean on someone. It’s okay. Nobody is going to judge you for that. If they do, they must have forgotten that they’ve had to lean before, too.

You are not a mistake. You’re not worthless. You bring joy to peoples’ lives. You might not even know the people that you bring joy to, but they’re there. They exist. Just like others bring joy to your life. That’s an important thing to be a part of. We need more joy in the world. I’m so glad that you’re here to help with that. I’m so proud of you for being here.

You are wanted. You are needed. If something were to happen to you, there are people that would miss you. People who would ask what happened to you. There are people that care about your wellbeing. We love you. It’s okay to come to us when everything feels hopeless. You’re not worthless. I promise.

I’m so, so proud of you and so happy that you’re here, reading this right now. I’m so happy that you’re still with us. Please don’t go where your friends can’t follow. Nobody in the world can replace you.

You can keep scrolling now. Just remember that there’s someone out there that cares about you, okay? Have a good rest of your day.

Theorizing Thoughts and Rant?

Maybe its just me in a weird mood but theorizing has gotten boring for me. Everyone automatically thinks it’s Anti or Dark it’s not fun anymore. Literally every word and motion is scrutinized. Mark has arms behind his back? Must be Dark it’s not like I do that too. Jack reaches towards the camera? Must be Anti or Chase. You know chase who we’ve seen only once before in one sketch and is basing everything off of. Talk about kids? Chase? Magic? Doctors? Has to be Marvin or Schneep, Jack obviously can’t use those words UNLESS it’s about egos. It’s just so… Forced? Your forcing ideas out of scraps of evidence, making every little detail connect to an ego no matter how forced.

I know it’s all for fun. I do but that’s the thing. It use to be fun for me but going on here and just seeing that constantly? It’s not fun for me anymore. I wonder if that’s for anyone else just this saturation of thinking every word or action is planned for an ego. Robin wearing the Anti shirt and making him uncomfortable to wear his friends merch because we all thought it had to do with something. Isn’t that boring to any of you? Isn’t that mean spirited in a way that it seems like all we care about sometimes is egos? I know I’m one to talk but I mean come on I just like the characters I’m not piecing every little thing and thinking’s it’s some conspiracy.

It’s just not fun to me to have that mindset. I think that it could be dangerous for the people behind the egos. Mark already talked about how people basically calling him out on how he treats his characters drained him and made him feel bad. I’m sure Jack has experienced that too with how many times I’ve seen any horror game or weird thing he said be related to Anti. I just can’t help but see it from there eyes. How the characters seem to be getting more attention then the people behind them. It’s heartbreaking.

But maybe I’m over analyzing or being grumpy. I’m not sure but I just know that I’m not feeling that same joy from this as I used to.

Zombie apocalypses are curiously lacking a large array of common equipment that could neatly control the situation.

“But we can’t build walls to contain them!”

Zombie Apocalypses Are Curiously Lacking A Large Array Of Common Equipment That Could Neatly Control

Moves by truck, train or boat. Ridiculously common. And see those holes on the bottom? Mobile by forklift. Also, HEAVY, even when empty they’re in the tons. If you had some warning you could string these things end to end for miles and human bodies can’t move them. Plus they’re nice and wide so you can comfortably walk on top of them for patrols.

“But we don’t have easy ways to kill them!”

Put the shotgun down you fucking idiot.

Zombie Apocalypses Are Curiously Lacking A Large Array Of Common Equipment That Could Neatly Control

No tires to pop. Heavy and slow but inevitable. Climbing required to enter and thus, relatively zombie proof, especially if you spend like an hour to protect the glass.

A lot of large farming equipment can destroy cars.

Want to guess what it’d do to a decaying human body? It’s not pretty.

Now I know what you’re thinking. Merely flattening them with common construction equipment or farming gear isn’t enough.

How about a

tree trimmer that can mulch a tree top to bottom in nothing flat?

OM NOM NOM NOM.

“But we need ways to move a lot of people that zombies can’t stop!”

BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER. Deer don’t have a chance and neither does a zombie.

“But that’s not good enough!”

NOW it’s time to call our friend the military because this ride stops for no one.

Do I need to keep going or is it clear the movies are bullshit yet? Seriously a dozen prepared people with heavy equipment licenses could clear an entire street of zombies AND powerwash it after.
