<br />
Sorry, it's been too long. But I am back again, and time to share some knowledge.<br />
<br />
If you haven't seen Dreamwork's Trollhunters, available exclusively on Netflix then you are missing out.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSAk1Ko81G0/WKu66cPTE0I/AAAAAAAAB-U/5cqvG-7FAHsfwQVbv10t95YGK0CqtdacACK4B/s1600/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSAk1Ko81G0/WKu66cPTE0I/AAAAAAAAB-U/5cqvG-7FAHsfwQVbv10t95YGK0CqtdacACK4B/s400/maxresdefault.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Seriously. Missing. Out.<br />
<br />
It's a beautiful masterpiece that I can't wait to divulge into deeper in more than one way. But currently there is only one thing I want to look at.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Lighting behind Trollhunters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pa1.narvii.com/6359/af8c6621a9b94d73c8584cb19c0517f22ae4996d_hq.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pa1.narvii.com/6359/af8c6621a9b94d73c8584cb19c0517f22ae4996d_hq.gif" height="228" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Trollhunters is made in a very cinimatic way, meaning that you can tell that it's made by a director who is a filmmaker, not an animator. And it's true, Del Toro is the mastermind behind it and he very much comes from a live action, 'real film' background. He brings us movies like Hellboy and Pacific Rim.<br />
<br />
Just look at this shot from Pacific Rim:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6HRcUIXpSEY/WKuw1Ld-2EI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/YJvlhH62Rt0Lt7JjeVDmxP9t_AQjTHlVwCK4B/s1600/pacific_rim_2013_1080p_screencaps_kissthemgoodbye_net_1499.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6HRcUIXpSEY/WKuw1Ld-2EI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/YJvlhH62Rt0Lt7JjeVDmxP9t_AQjTHlVwCK4B/s400/pacific_rim_2013_1080p_screencaps_kissthemgoodbye_net_1499.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
With a movie full of weird monsters and giant robots, it's easy to get lost in what the hell is happening. But he has an excellent use of silhouette and color. The warmth of the sunlight is countered by the bright neon blue breaking into an otherwise black sky.<br />
<br />
Notice, and we'll see this a LOT in Trollhunters:<br />
<br />
The Guy Doesn't Fear Black Colors.<br />
<br />
Seriously, look at the areas of the screen that go to black! Boy if there was one thing I learned, or 'unlearned' from doing animation is to avoid blacks. That's not the case! Get it out of your head as I get it out of mine, Blacks/darks are imperative to good storytelling.<br />
<br />
That's right.<br />
<br />
Embrace the screen hitting blacks. But do it with purpose.<br />
<br />
As those of you who know me in real life are aware, I am a huge fan of Miraculous. It's great, it's cheezy, it's adorkable and more or less it's just a fun time.<br />
<br />
Love it. Hug it.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, for all the beautiful textures Miraculous has, and boy does it, It. Has. Terrible. Lighting.<br />
<br />
Look at this:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1oLIPceXj4/WKuyK9IY4xI/AAAAAAAAB8c/tM1thsfR_gwNz8tkckQ7Wq14OB4RZueQgCK4B/s1600/tumblr_nyai3ykijf1ugp45ro2_500.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1oLIPceXj4/WKuyK9IY4xI/AAAAAAAAB8c/tM1thsfR_gwNz8tkckQ7Wq14OB4RZueQgCK4B/s320/tumblr_nyai3ykijf1ugp45ro2_500.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
I mean, it's totally adorable.<br />
However, look at how boring that lighting is. I mean. Really. And every shot is like this.<br />
<br />
But, look at this shot:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lUllVnBlrrg/WKuyZqiaH9I/AAAAAAAAB8k/vo6_zvn8O88wjmdDHNN1-LV1L1KGuPQJgCK4B/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.49.29%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lUllVnBlrrg/WKuyZqiaH9I/AAAAAAAAB8k/vo6_zvn8O88wjmdDHNN1-LV1L1KGuPQJgCK4B/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.49.29%2BPM.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
And I made sure to get one that's outside in broad daylight, because the time of day of both of the shots I am showing you is virtually THE SAME.<br />
<br />
Which one has more interest? Which one draws your eyes in?<br />
<br />
Trollhunters frames the shot, it tells you where to look. The BLACK of the top of the screen, and yet look at Jim's head. You can still see his hair being rim lit off of the dark background, even tho he has black hair!<br />
The beautiful frame job of the lighting, even if you black and white this puppy and take all of the colors out:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u4kD68eah4M/WKuzEMr4XlI/AAAAAAAAB8s/LHyUBpKADZcLMlxapIWmn7dDloui7tiOQCK4B/s1600/bnw-trollhunters.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u4kD68eah4M/WKuzEMr4XlI/AAAAAAAAB8s/LHyUBpKADZcLMlxapIWmn7dDloui7tiOQCK4B/s320/bnw-trollhunters.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Your eye is pulled to the center of the frame. There's a good mixture of tones, like a well balanced painting. Your eyes are pulled down to the rocks at the base of the screen where Jim is looking. That's where the amulet is. That's why they want you to look there.<br />
<br />
Genuis.<br />
<br />
And it's not just that scene, it's every scene.<br />
<br />
Look at this shot below. It's a classic indoor shot, however, look at how much interest they added by having the light stream in the windows, and the bounced lighting from the hallway on Jim's face.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P_a7ZO4IKMk/WKu0H-_OG6I/AAAAAAAAB84/ZkQp5u3u2GUzWDsWM2b3fYHZQTIwnoeHwCK4B/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.48.45%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P_a7ZO4IKMk/WKu0H-_OG6I/AAAAAAAAB84/ZkQp5u3u2GUzWDsWM2b3fYHZQTIwnoeHwCK4B/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.48.45%2BPM.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
When his mom rolls over in bed, boy do we notice because that's where the light is telling us to look! We see Jim's face & his mom's face.<br />
<br />
That's what's important.<br />
<br />
Heck, look at how dark they let the side of Jim's face get!! The top right corner is LITTERALLY BLACK. HIS SHIRT IS ALMOST BLACK.<br />
<br />
Lighting. Lighting. Lighting.<br />
<br />
Tell the story with it. Let me know where to look. And they rim light his right shoulder to pop him off from the dark background.<br />
<br />

<br />
Continuing on.<br />
<br />

<br />
A very simple shot. It's just his head as the amulet is calling to him.<br />
<br />
Can't make that too great, right?<br />
Oh contrare!!<br />
<br />
I'm just going to let you look at the lighting of this one. Notice the direction and the ambient lighting and pick out the things you notice about it yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last one, and then I'll jump off.<br />
<br />
<br />
You might be asking yourself, but what about night shots huh? What do you do then huh? How do you do this then?<br />
<br />
Glad you asked!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qSFPsZH7Ul8/WKu1cgJWmlI/AAAAAAAAB9M/f2X94WcqXtEuSVj7AE6HGaxsVzK-QBp9wCK4B/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.55.18%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qSFPsZH7Ul8/WKu1cgJWmlI/AAAAAAAAB9M/f2X94WcqXtEuSVj7AE6HGaxsVzK-QBp9wCK4B/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-02-20%2Bat%2B7.55.18%2BPM.png" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
BOOM. Notice the colors used here: we have the warms of the sunset and the bitter cools of the shadows. And then we have this blue eerie glow showing us directly where to look.<br />
Even the house is warm lit!! Ah! Love it!<br />

Full blown night shots? No problem! Where's the light source? The house. It gives a warm glow that bleeds onto Jim's face. The deep blues of the night encircle him but at no moment do we loose him to the background, due to the expertly placed rim lighting pulling Jim's hair again from the background.<br />
<br />
The shot composition alone of this shot is amazing, but alas, I will touch on that later. Just enjoy the shots I attached below and use your own deduction to see how amazing these simple shots are done with elegance, using the techniques I told you previously.<br />

<br />
So today I thought I would talk about this horrible word called<br />
<br />
PATIENCE.<br />
<br />
It's something that we don't have a lot of, especially in today's era.<br />
How long does it take to load a webpage? A youtube video?<br />
<br />
…..is it sad that we each probably know that exact amount of time?<br />
<br />
It's because it's the NOW era. With the edition of the cell phone, and then becoming a smart phone (basically a small computer at your finger tips), and of course googling everything we need to know….<br />
we aren't exactly accustomed to waiting for answers.<br />
<br />
And you know, I'm still grateful for all that stuff. I want to look at reference for a painting, or whatever, it takes me mere minutes to have something. That's time that I can afford.<br />
<br />
And yet…. half the time we think taking the time to find reference is a WASTE of time.<br />
<br />
THINK OF THIS:<br />
<br />
All those old reference painters, they had to have SOMEONE STAND THERE AND POSE FOR THEM. FOR HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS POSSIBLE.<br />
<br />
Talk about a "waste of time" in our minds!! And yet, where would we be without them??<br />
<br />
Back in high school, when we hit 17/18 years old, there was that question: What are you doing after you graduate?<br />
<br />
HECK: even growing up as a child we are asked: What do you want to do when you grow up?<br />
<br />
And when were 10, we say fun things on a whim:<br />
A dentist,<br />
A doggie doctor,<br />
A scientist,<br />
A dinosaur… haha….<br />
<br />
And sometimes we mean it, and other times, we just say something that sounded fun.<br />
<br />
BUT WHEN YOU HIT COLLEGE: the question is now REAL.<br />
<br />
And the answer has to be 100%. Or….<br />
<br />
there is no or. You either know, or you shouldn't go to college…. right? That's what I was told.<br />
<br />
Well, Let me tell you something: I graduated college, and<br />
<br />
IT'S WORSE. People now EXPECT that you know.<br />
<br />
And it's part of this society, the KNOW NOW mentality. The days of saying something that was a hobby are gone, because now it has to: Pay the Bills, Support a Family, Fix the Car, etc.<br />
<br />
Whatever you chose, it has to DO something for you, right?<br />
<br />
Well, this societal impact kinda stinks.<br />
<br />
Back in the day, there was this really cool thing called Apprentice. You studied under what you were supposed to do, and you knew that was where you were going.<br />
<br />
Yet, that sux in it's own way, because now you have no choice but to Apprentice under whatever you were born into.<br />
<br />
So….<br />
<br />
I suggest something, Semi-crazy.<br />
<br />
Have some patience with yourself. If you aren't 100% sold on something, it's simply OK. It feels like (to me) like I'm a disappointment. I don't know where I'm going, therefore I must HURRY and FIGURE IT OUT ASAP.<br />
<br />
I read on Facebook the other day that the FASTER you need something done, the MORE time it will take.<br />
<br />
So, if I'm studying to become a pianist, and I NEED TO BE GOOD AT IT TODAY, so it can bring money in, get me a job, etc….<br />
it's going to take me 10xs longer to get better at it.<br />
<br />
Simply because I have stress, and fear and NO PATIENCE.<br />
<br />
LOVE TODAY.<br />
<br />
That's right LOVE IT.<br />
<br />
DO you have the job you love? Probably not. Does it pay the bills? Great. That's awesome. Then work for what you love.<br />
<br />
****THE FEAR OF TIME:<br />
<br />
My wonderful boyfriend of 5years brought up that he wishes he had more time. Something we all want.<br />
But here's what I read in my "Success is not an Accident" book (It's great, you should read it):<br />
YOU HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE.<br />
<br />
If you don't manage your time, It'll pass you by, LITTERALLY in an instant. Somehow Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Vines, Instagram, and then POOF, its 7pm or even later. And now your day is over. So now you can just keep goofing off until you go to bed.<br />
<br />
I can also choose where to put my time.<br />
<br />
****DONT BE AFRAID OF NO:<br />
<br />
The word "No" is a wonderful word. It brings about freedom and confidence. You should try it sometime.<br />
<br />
I myself am still learning the wonders of the word No.<br />
<br />
Don't be a wet blanket: In other words: don't half commit. That's the worst.<br />
<br />
Either PLAN for it.<br />
<br />
Or Dont.<br />
<br />
Don't say yes if you know that you will be luke warm about it. Think of it this way: do you have the time (or make the time) to dedicate to a project that DESERVES time?<br />
<br />
If not, then it's not really a MEAN or NASTY response to say No.<br />
It's simply: I wish I was the man for the job, but I don't have the passion needed to make time in my busy schedule for this. SOmeone else probably has a lovely spot in there life for it and YOUR PROJECT deserves more time than I can give it.<br />
<br />
See that? No is a wonderful word.<br />
<br />
****MONEY COMES TO LOVERS:<br />
<br />
There's this artist that I follow on Facebook, and her paintings are super crazy realistic. I like it, you might not, but that's not the point.<br />
<br />
The point is that SHE QUIT HER FULL TIME JOB.<br />
<br />
Yup. She quit and just paints whatever the heck she wants, and makes money doing it.<br />
How?<br />
<br />
Because, SHE LOVED IT.<br />
<br />
She loved it, people saw that she loved it, and now she has an audience. While she's working full time, mind you.<br />
<br />
And now, enough people see the passion she has, the time she makes to commit to what she loves, even though she has a job on the side.<br />
<br />
Now she started a Patreon.<br />
<br />
THIS GIRL MAKES $15,000 EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW.<br />
<br />
Just on Patreon.<br />
<br />
So she quit her job. Never anticipating it, just doing it because she loved it.<br />
<br />
The money is out there, but you have to have a passion for it WHEN IT PAYS NOTHING.<br />
<br />
That's why the first thing I said is: Find what it is you love. Loving something that will give you money, or loving something because you love it are two different things.<br />
<br />
Do you follow me?<br />
<br />
There are more stories I have like this, but you get the jist.<br />
<br />
Love it first. For what it is.<br />
<br />
And you know what?<br />
<br />
I don't know what that is for me. There are a ZILLION ideas out there. Ideas are NOT the issue.<br />
Hence why I can say all of this to you, without fearing you stealing my ideas.<br />
<br />
Ideas aren't what do anything for you.<br />
ACTION behind an IDEA = BIG THINGS.<br />
<br />
That's the secret to life.<br />
<br />
Seriously.<br />
<br />
I'll be here all week.<br />
<br />
Haha, Seriously though. Take your time finding what it is you love.<br />
<br />
You don't have to be THE YOUNGEST PERSON TO EVER _______.<br />
You don't have to start tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with these parting words that are rocking my world: ENDURE PATIENTLY.<br />
<br />
Endure. Not "wait", but Endure. That word fits so well.<br />
<br />
And Endure how? Patiently.<br />
<br />
Patiently… like with peace and joy.<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
Endure Patiently.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Here's a work in progress, rough sketch. It's not done yet.<br />
<br />
Well, the truth is: it was painted.<br />
<br />
But I didn't like it. So I'm enduring patiently, and starting it over again.<br />
