ANIMATION TIMING a Thread 🧵 by “F” #Animation timing is an EXTREMELY tricky, specialized art form all its own, and VERY few people are actually, truly “great” at it. The scene below from the first #FairlyOddParents movie “Abra-Catastrophe” was storyboarded, designed, directed, written and TIMED by me. It looks...

So this is the “peaceful change” BJP was meant to bring to Bengal and this is the choice that was made by you Bengal. It doesn’t look like a new beginning; it looks like the beginning of the end.

Timing is everything, isn’t it? And sometimes being in the right place at the right time feels well, timely, or even predetermined. With wildlife photography, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. The more you know about your subject, the better because it increases your chances of being where you need to be when you need to be there. There is also an element of just letting go and taking what is given to you. It’s always best to have no expectations at all when it comes to wildlife. On this morning, everything did fall perfectly into place, and I was able to capture this dreamy scene of a beautiful Dalmatian pelican and its reflection on smooth water as it came in for a landing. Oh yeah, the glorious snow-capped mountains in the back were definitely a treat too. The days prior to this, that mountain range was hidden by clouds. I didn’t even know it was there. 🤪

mc: during wlgyt, a poster with chungseob's back reveal and i ask staff who was that but they didn't answer me. they didn't tell us until the end even we ask who is the actor behind it but no answer, it is bcs it's was a spoiler that needs a tight security? seonho: the director talk to me during our last team dinner that they made something like an album or something "i didn't include chungseob because i was afraid it would be a spoiler," he said. mc: your first appearance was during the closet scene right? and i was like oh? i know that actor is let me find it later but still i didn't recognize you. seonho: back then, it took almost 4 hours each time just to get the makeup and styling done. they had to attach each strand of hair one by one. so we put an incredible amount of time and effort into it and in a way, i was actually happy that people didn't recognize me. mc: and during the time that you asked permission for marriage you made a cute scene like- jungie: abonim~ mc: i heard that there's a lot of adlibs. seonho: it was bcs the director instructed me where to where to walk as other actors need to be seen on camera angles, so ofc the actors need to be on angle and while having their scene i came in while thinking 'i need to be close to my father in law while smiling' and then i started to walk towards them so i did the slapstick to fill in the gaps.. just like we do during rehearsal and the good thing about this is we filmed when IU said the "omonim~" first and i remember it to clearly and do it the same.

‘it is.’ was released 10 years ago today. The album to me was meant to talk about what everything is. It just ‘is’. Whether you do it or don’t. So why not do it? “You are a human being, so ‘be’.” Things will continue to change around me as well as within me. All I can do is try to be what I want to be more and more everyday. And continue to send out my communications through music. I’m grateful to everyone that has received and/or will receive the messages in the future. Thank you to all who have supported and will support in the future — love y’all.

Leigh-Anne opens up about why she left her label and went independent: “I’ve been in a group for so long, if I’m gonna do this [solo], I’m gonna do it on my terms. There was a moment where it was just a battle, and I’m like, ‘I don’t need this anymore. I need to be able to have complete creative control.’ I had a song and there was so much back and forth with it… and it was like, ‘Why’s there now ten versions of this song? You’ve literally just taken all of the essence…’ I was like, ‘I can’t’. I wanna be able to go and write a song and not have to send it to somebody and be like, ‘Do you like this song?’ Because I like it, so it’s coming out!”

In light of the names Anneke Lucas mentioned, like the former Canadian prime minister who is dead now, but is the father of the current one. It is being shared all over the internet now. Canadian accounts are posting this, and it is getting lots of attention. This is also a wake-up call for Canada. A lot of people in Canada are commenting on social media that they are shocked by this guy being named. But actually he was already mentioned by Cathy O'Brien in 1995, as being involved in these networks! See the video below. So there is corroboration between these witnesses. A lot of these former and now deceased prime ministers she mentions were, at that time that she was in it in the 70s, involved in this. Also the Belgian one that Anneke names, and was also named by other witnesses. Which tells us, like these witnesses say, this was a global network. So the truth was already out there a bit, but it is coming out more for a bigger public. We will have more revelations coming out in 2025 about these dark dealing that have been going on at the highest levels, I'm sure. This is going to be a shock for a lot of people that are new to this information, because it is reaching a bigger public. Some will choose not to believe it, do no research, and look no further. But a lot more people will wake up to this, it is unstoppable. Of course, we have to check in with our own vibration. If it gets too heavy, take some time out and go for a walk in nature. Whilst revelations are important for the truth to come out, and confronting hard information is part of that, we have to check with our selves how this information is affecting us, and sometimes we need a time off. It is always most important to maintain a healthy balance between checking in with this information and our own peace of mind. #Epstein #PBDpodcast

Kinzinger: To me, it was very personal, very, very difficult for my family and me. And so you see some of that in the film. But most importantly, what this is, is a warning to America. You’ll see this in the film again — we lay out a very compelling case against Trump. But it shows, again, that what I did wasn’t courageous — it was just my job. There is, though, an intense cost to that. You see that cost laid out in this film, and it shows why, when people say, “Why don’t other Republicans speak out?” — this brings home that there is a cost to doing so. And we need to, frankly, elect and hire people who are willing to do tough things

Remote Viewer Warns of a Terrifying Coordinated Attack on a Major US City?! Remote Viewer, Daz Smith, looked at April world events and what he got back is potentially concerning... "...So it was large structures, weirdly higher than any of containership. I shouldn't have looked at that a bit more detail, but I didn't. Maybe I just thought it was appropriate, moved it to one side, but definitely large structures." "And it felt like the structures were on fire. So I, you know, asked the question why here? And I felt like there was a ground based attack, that was going to happen in, in, in this city location. And it felt like it was like a bomb attack. And I had, like, this very strong visual of a, white truck or van that might be involved, which I tried to draw here. So the, you know, they had these kind of, modern looking van in front of a, multi-level structure, almost like this, like the entranceway or something of the structure." "So it felt like it was a kinetic event, of lots of explosive energy. It was very loud. There was wide dispersal. Definitely had a terror attack feel. It feels like it was a driven vehicle parts and then detonated, as an act of retaliation. The vehicle fills, larger than a car. Felt very van like, possibly white, possibly have branding on it as well." "...It was strategically positioned, in front of an important structure. The whole thing felt very US based. Just not that weird kind of U.S filled me, getting targets. And I also have a dang tang feel to this as well, so it felt like it was in a large U.S urban city, which gave me the idea of New York. Because maybe because I've been to New York and, you know, just had that, but definitely had an East Coast feel to this..." "...it was definitely driven, implanted..." "...it felt like it was in planning. So they were planning or rehearsing for a future event, which is, you know, what we're looking for, a month ahead. And I had a weird I had a well here, weirdly, of Holy Cross... it starts with fear and panic, and it's like they're just implanting a message.... Trying to timeline this site here. You know, again, this is all very experimental..."

On this day, 52 years ago, John Cassavetes' "The Ki!!ing of a Chinese Bookie" (1974) was released in the USA. John Cassavetes explaining why he made the movie: "'A Woman Under the Influence' (1974) was the first picture I’ve had anything to do with that wasn’t made out of plain, simple feeling, but rather out of a real desire to do something in my profession. It was extremely frightening for me not to come to work out of enthusiasm and instead put myself up as something of a craftsman. Earlier films such as 'Shadows' (1958) and 'Husbands' (1970) grew out of personal experiences reaching all the way back to my childhood days. They were expressions of my innermost feelings, and now that I’ve dealt with all that, I feel obligated to view life in other terms. I want to explore other areas of human and artistic experience. I made 'The Ki!!ing of a Chinese Bookie' (1976) as an intellectual experiment– not because I am in love with it. I enjoy a more intellectual and less emotionally demanding view than in my previous work. If I can make, out of certain intellectual ideas, films that are complex in their nature, then I’m entering into new ground. And that is certainly something I look forward to. It is a film that has little to do with me and with how I feel about life. It’s interesting to me to see how other people live in our society, to look at them and ask myself, ‘Why do they do it? And how do they do it?’ Without trying to explain. The fun and challenge of the film was to imagine a self-contained world different from the one I live in: to move into it and live in it."

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people. Experiences like this are amazing, but the relationships we build that make it possible are the “why.” Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world, of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures. It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades. It depends on people dedicated to being part of something bigger than themselves, whose names may never be known but who wake up every day to make the world a better place and to be part of something they will be proud to tell their grandkids about. History will look kindly upon them. Humans have always had a propensity to explore … across lands and oceans, up mountains, and into the sky. We as a species will never stop wondering what else is out there, and what it would be like to go. But then, in the words of TS Elliot, “…at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.” Crew-10 is on its way home.

“Rwanda has gone through many difficulties. And at a personal level, by the way, my family, we became refugees when I was four years old and stayed in a refugee camp for slightly over two decades. Then later on of course the history lessons of our own tragic 1994 Genocide because of the division that was there. The lessons from that, and which shaped me or informed me and many others, it’s not just me there are many others; in a situation like that, every individual in a way you have to make personal even, or informed decisions. Either you give up and break and that’s the end of you, or you make the choice of saying, I am going to stand up to this, I am going to give it a fight that I have in me, to survive and maybe to make progress. At a personnel level that happened. I, at some point, and I know it’s not just me it’s many in our country, we’re faced with individual choices; do you give up and die or do you die fighting? And those of us who made a choice of the latter, that is how these choices [came to be]. Today I am President, I never thought, I never even lived or thought to be President, when it came I embraced it but it’s not what I was fighting for, in our struggle, I was fighting for my rights to my country, I was asking myself questions and that’s what many other Rwandans, girls and boys, men and women, were asking themselves. Those who stood up and fought for that. Later on, when you are in a place like mine and you have a responsibility, again it helps to keep reflecting; would you be the same person to make the same mistakes that people made that made you a refugee or led to loss of lives of so many, and so on and so forth, or you really want to do your best as humanely possible to feel satisfied that you are doing the right thing for yourself but also putting yourself in the shoes of many others. Are they able to stand up to these challenges the way it should happen, maybe the challenges should be minimized as much as possible? It’s what goes on in the minds, at least it does in my mind whenever I am going about my responsibilities. I am a good student of history.” President Kagame on Rwanda’s history and how it shaped him and his generation | Milken Asia Summit #MIGlobal

Later on, when you are in a place like mine and you have a responsibility, again it helps to keep reflecting; would you be the same person to make the same mistakes that people made that made you a refugee or led to loss of lives of so many, and so on and so forth, or you really want to do your best as humanely possible to feel satisfied that you are doing the right thing for yourself but also putting yourself in the shoes of many others. Are they able to stand up to these challenges the way it should happen, maybe the challenges should be minimized as much as possible? It’s what goes on in the minds, at least it does in my mind whenever I am going about my responsibilities. I am a good student of history.” President Kagame on Rwanda’s history and how it shaped him and his generation | Milken Asia Summit #MIGlobal

🦋: I have to be honest that I really love the love scenes in this series, because I had the chance to design the scenes myself many times. For some of the moments and timings for the kisses, we didn’t always follow the director’s (instructions), we’d do a lot of additional improvisation. 🧸: 😘😘😘 🦋: the director also bought into it, she’d be like ‘ah, this is great’ things like that. So I feel that the art created (acting) truly has my emotions and thoughts in there. : very deep, so you gave more than what was set out, right? 🦋: that’s right. I’m someone who doesn’t like to be constrained within boundaries. For me, acting in a drama or series is an art form, where I want it to sometimes be outside the box. 🧸: she’s very artistic/creative, no matter what it is, she’ll lead with artistic vibes (basically someone who’s creative/imaginative and thinks outside the box). #ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu

"'In the Mood for Love' (2000) is a story about two people, and it could easily have been very boring. But instead of treating it as a love story, I decided to approach it like a thriller, like a suspense movie." --- Wong Kar-wai Full Excerpt: "The only thing that I try to make very clear when I start a film is the genre that I want to place it in. As a kid, I grew up watching genre movies, and I was fascinated by all the different genres, such as Westerns, ghost stories, swashbucklers … So I try to make each of my films in a different genre. And I think that’s part of what has made them so original. "In the Mood for Love" (2000), for example, is a story about two people, and it could easily have been very boring. But instead of treating it as a love story, I decided to approach it like a thriller, like a suspense movie. These two people start out as victims, and then they start to investigate, to try to understand how things happened. This is the way I structured this film, with very short scenes and an attempt to create constant tension. That’s probably what made it so surprising to the audience, which was expecting a classic love story." ("Moviemakers' Masterclass", Laurent Tirard, 2002)

Scarface is widely regarded as a classic today, but when it first came out, the reception was brutal. Steven Bauer, who played Manny, says it was so painful that for years he and Al Pacino barely even spoke about the film. He explains… “Scarface is great to be a part of now. For years, it was dismal - like everybody associated with Scarface was a leper - people got very wimpy about Scarface really quickly. As soon as the reviews were out… Our peers came to see the movie in the premiere, right? There were two premieres, one in New York, one in LA, and people came to see it and they were like, ‘Wow, what a movie…. The next day, the reviews are out, and all the papers — this is before the internet, okay? - so you get just the conventional news media outlets - and 90% of them gave Scarface a horrible review. Like horrible, really, really insulting, injurious stuff. Personal attacks on Pacino and Brian De Palma, the director, and on Oliver, the writer... It was really, really mean because the country was going through a politically correct sort of thing - they were like, "This is like a new wave of violence in the movies, oh!" It’s nice because when I see Al - we can finally talk about it, because...for years, we couldn’t even talk about it. We’d be like, “Oh yeah, Scarface, yeah, yeah...” It was so sad! Because the movie was so great! And then it was like this thud, and it lasted like 10 years… Anywhere I’d go, it was like, ‘You’re that guy who was really good in that really terrible movie.’ And I’d be like, ‘How could you say that?’ And they’d go, ‘Well, you were good.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, but I don’t care. What about the movie?’ And they go, ‘Oh, come on, you gotta admit it. It was like way over the top. It was like so exaggerating,’ blah, blah, blah, blah.…and I’d be like, ‘You’re a pussy!”

Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains: "As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando. It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing… He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself… The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias. Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene. I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times… And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions… As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

Quentin Tarantino on Sergio Leone: "People sometimes think that Leone was the first Italian to make spaghetti westerns. But of course he wasn’t. Sergio Corbucci was doing a spaghetti western in 1964, the same time Leone was doing Fistful of Dollars. But he wasn’t trying to do something different at that time — he was actually trying to be more like the American westerns, and this is reflected in the music, which isn’t operatic at all. It was Leone who put the music to task and turned it to opera. I know there are examples that will be contrary to what I am saying, but it feels as if Leone is the first guy ever to cut picture to music in that way. Before him it just happened by accident where somebody thought it would be cool for a little sequence, but didn’t think they should do it for the rest of the movie. But the way we cut to music now: you pick some rock song and you cut your scene to that song. That all started with Leone and Morricone, and particularly with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." — excerpt from Quentin Tarantino's forward to “Once Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece” by Christopher Frayling, published in 2019

1 song… 1 BTC When it happened earlier I didn’t quite realize right away what that really meant Despite knowing every inch of relentless work I put in for 3 years to get to this moment, it still didn’t feel real until… I sat down at my childhood piano and, fighting the tears, I played the song. My song. My diary. My story. But for the first time, it didn’t feel like I was singing the song. It felt like someone was singing it TO me. Someone who understood me and who knew to tell me I wasn’t crazy for being like this. Someone who went through the same uphill battles who knew exactly what I needed to hear to keep going. And then I realized again that I was the one who wrote those lines. That I was giving me strength all along. But that someone out there felt it too, enough to put such a value on it. And so many others feel it as well, and show me every day. The song brought me back to reality. The song told me the TRUTH. My own song transcended me for a moment, comforted me, like it knew me before I consciously know myself. And it gave me strength and awareness that there’s a chance that now others who also felt misunderstood, defeated and lonely maybe now feel hopeful. I think of all the artists (musicians in particular) out there who maybe experience this. And we forget that this is what our songs do to other people, until we’re so out of it ourselves that they do it to us. Our own songs heal US first, before we even realize. And then they heal, unite, ignite hope in others too. This is magic. Music is magic. Musi is God. This is only the beginning, but right now I hold back the tears as I sing this little song about all the n0 0rdinary kinds that made it possible. Inspired by other art, powered by a defiant community To all that thought they’d be lonely forever They’d never get a chance That they may as well die But who kept going You are not crazy. You are n0 0rdinary kind. And this song is for you.
