Greetings, readers!
I am pleased to inform you that Lindsey Stirling has posted another video. I am approximately a week late to the show (so to speak), but here it is.
Although I am unaware of what “Dragon Age” is, and I was not as taken by the “plot” or music itself for this one, I found the special effects to be quite impressive. It is not every day you see a unique case of a dancing violinist fighting a dragon, even in my world.

As some of you are probably aware, Disney has started to make live-action versions of fairy-tales they previously released in animated form. (For example, Maleficent was a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.)
Disney is going to release a live-action version of Cinderella in March. Yesterday they released a trailer for the movie, and it reveals some of the plot, character, and setting.
Ooh, I love her shoes! And her dress!
…
Of course those would be the parts that stand out to you.
What? They’re pretty!
I wonder how long it’ll be until a pattern for that ballgown is available…
…
For me, I found the casting to be quite interesting. Cate Blanchett, the same actress who played Galadriel, is playing the evil stepmother. Even more interesting: Helena Bonham Carter, who frequently plays creepy and twisted roles, is playing the Fairy Godmother. You read that correctly. The trailer further demonstrates that no, in fact, the IMDB listings are not mixed up. The actresses do play those characters, respectively.
What do you think, readers? Are you at all surprised by the casting? What do you think will happen with this movie?

Hi, Fluffsters!
I was procrastinating researching for fluff posts last night, and realized that I hadn’t shared the Potter Puppet Pals Mysterious Ticking Noise recently enough. I am now fixing this.

Hi, Fluffsters!
In the category of “Trailers”, there’s another new one out. It’s the first official Minion Movie Trailer! And it’s really cute.
…interesting.
…Oh?
Well, it did come out the day before Election Day in the United States. And the trailer does seem to discuss a relatively mindless mob trying to give away power…
…hey! US voters are not minions!
For one, we don’t like bananas enough. There are some people who don’t even like bananas.
Now now, Webmaster, I think you are slightly overreacting to what I said. After all, I never said that the United States voters are anything like minions. I merely indicated that the timing was such that the producers might think that.

My apologies for posting yet another YouTube Video to this blog, now making it five times in a row that the post has been a video, but I found this to be very impressive.
It is a new music video that is making the rounds on the internet
Although I am not particularly taken with the music itself, the video performance aspect of it is incredible. There are many performers, and they all seem to be synchronized.
Furthermore, I appreciate the “digital” effect the designers were able to achieve with the umbrellas. That is quite cool.
I also admit to being intrigued by the devices the four main performers were moving on. What is that device? How does it work? Is it as much fun as it appears?
However, I do not understand how the music video itself ties to the choreography. When the four colors came in at the end, it looked almost like a Windows Logo, but the colors were out of order. (And besides, tying the Windows Logo to a song where the lyrics are “I won’t let you down” ad nauseum seems a little… wrong. Unless they were trying to be ironic.)
I suppose that at a meta-level, it is impressive that everybody got the choreography correct. Maybe they were singing to each other about not letting each other down on this take?
Outside the meta-analysis, though, I really do not understand the link. It seems to me that any song with a very strong beat would have “worked” (from a choreography mapping perspective), and some might have worked better. If there were lyrics about twisting through the elements of time, for example, that would have flowed nicely with the music video’s choreography. Or some sort of reference to time and rhythm. As it stands, however, I do not think the song did the technology and synchronization justice.

Hi, Fluffsters!
Today’s fluff is the first of four parts.
There is a fantastic YouTube “series” out. It’s called “Animator versus Animation.” Recently, the creator made part four. So I am going to be directing you to each of these for the next parts of this series.
Here’s the first part! (Trust me. Watch it.)
I love the way Alan Becker breaks the fourth wall with this one. Don’t you? I mean, seriously. You can tell that the animator is having trouble with his mouse. There are consistent rules within the movie. It’s cute and whimsical. And the sound effects are perfect!
