Hello!
Somebody shared this recently, and it was weird enough that I had to use it as “fluff material.”
It’s someone’s version (/attempt) of the Imperial March from Star Wars in a Major Key, instead of its usual minor. There are a few chords I’d have modified, but it still works. So, here it is!

Hi!
So. In case you missed it. The Hillywood Show, whose YouTube song-style parodies I’ve written about before, released their new Sherlock Parody on Saturday!
Also in case you missed it, yesterday, I wrote about a few of the insta-surprises that stood out to me.
Today, I’m going to discuss some of the things that have stood out to me after re-watching far more frequently than I will necessarily admit…
(And after having seen all the released behind-the-scenes footage.)
1) OH MY WORD THE DANCING. The poolside scenes and the stair scenes are both still just astonishing. Even after watching this a few dozen times… Or however many it’s been. The two sisters are just so synchronized. And the choreography itself is “bloody awesome.”
2) The voice actors. They are fantastically close to the voices of the actual Sherlock and John. I don’t know how the sisters found them, but they did a great job!
3) It will be hard to demonstrate my fandom is the Hillywood Show if I ever go to a con and cosplay. As in, the impersonations are to dang good. If I try to show my support for Hillywood by dressing as one of their characters, I’ll actually end up dressing like one of the originals. (So I guess I’d just need to learn and memorize the choreography in order to demonstrate which one I’d be actually dressed as?) Anyway. It’s the tragedies in life. You know.
4) The Jim Moriarty was also fantastic.The way they got the “crazy-eyes” just perfect was, well, perfect. So, yeah.
5) The use of violin. I’m not exactly a fan of the original song. (It’s due to friends of mine that I was even aware of its existence.) So, one thing I really appreciate about this is the use of violin instead of saxophone. (At least, I’m guessing sax). It does just so tie the two together in an immediately discernible way. And the violinist they found was great, too! So, yep.
Anyway. Have a lovely Monday!

Hello!
So, (probably unsurprisingly to all of you), I’m still extremely happy about The Hillywood Show’s Sherlock Parody being out.
But, I’ve calmed down since I first posted about it. So I’m going to comment on some things.
1) those credits are hilarious. As in, what’s going on behind the credits-text, of course. I didn’t see any “whacky credits” like Monty Python’s or anything.
2) The sets! They actually managed to film some on-location. Speedy’s, the pool, the rocky place, and the alley in London, for example. But the spot-on, perfect apartment? That was a set they had designed. I had trouble identifying which was which during the parody itself, actually… I needed to watch the behind-the-scenes to see that.
3) STEVEN MOFFAT.
So, those were three things that instantly stood out to me…
What about you?

Hello!
I am originally a city girl, from the LA area. And sometimes, I am strongly reminded of that. The time-lapse videos of city lights of LA in this article did so last night.
I hope you enjoy. I find them beautiful, and slightly nostalgia inducing…

Hi!
So, there’s a really cool type of pillow out. It’s shiny, and it has reversible colors. And there’s a video of it. So, enjoy!
(If you get one, be sure to tell me about it!)

Greetings, readers!
I am surprised I am beating the Webmaster to this post; it is about a new Star Wars Universe Trailer. This one is the International Trailer.
My apologies for posting one with non-English subtitles.
What I find fascinating are the differences between the American Trailer and the International one. (No, the subtitles do not qualify.)
The one I immediately noticed was the different scoring used.
The American version, you may recall, uses variations on the Imperial March. Except (surprisingly) at the very end when in addition to the imperial march, there is a small hint of the Rebel’s Theme with The Reveal. (I am trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible.)
This one, however, utilizes the Rebellion Theme from the very beginning, and then primarily chords and emptiness. It does not paint the same picture of darkness, but instad gives a bit more of a sense of… hope?
The time the Imperial March really comes through, however, is at the end. At it is definitely interesting to me that at the end of the International Trailer, there is not the hint of the Rebel’s Theme.
It is also quite interesting that in both the scores, the main theme being used is played on piano. It is a slightly more subtle time; neither are as fully developed as in the events of the original movies.
It am quite looking forward to haring how the full scoring for the movie goes.

Hello!
So, I recently found a video of an art-form I LOVE. I don’t remember if I’ve shared this type of thing on Fluff or not. But anyway. It’s paintings, with UV Lights. So, you get a totally different effect, based on what lighting you have going on.
There’s an example in the YouTube video below. Enjoy!

Hi!
In the category of “I’m waaay too excitable” in some ways, The Hillywood Show has posted a “progress-tracker” for their current parody. It’s on their official website. They’re over halfway done! Yay!
Anyway, I hope you have a good Monday.

Hello!
So, I encountered a video of a REALLY FUN looking Star Wars thing.
It’s a… toothpick dispenser.
I never would have guessed a toothpick dispenser could look cool.
Live and learn, right?
Anyway. I’d recommend watching with sound off. Up to you, though.
Have a lovely Sunday!
