Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 2005 — Robert Richardson, ASC The Aviator (2004) Directed by Martin Scorsese Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

“Prior to my involvement, Marty designed a color timeline that influenced every creative department. He wanted the progression from a two-color palette to a three-strip palette to approximate the technological advances of the film industry at that time, but more importantly, he felt it would mirror the characters’ emotional evolution. The first act, which covers Hughes’s early career in Hollywood, was supposed to have Technicolor’s two-color look. With the second act, which begins after Hughes sets a speed record flying across the continental United States [in 1937] and goes with Katharine Hepburn to Connecticut, we transition to that vibrant, three-strip look that most of us associate with the glorious Technicolor years. Then, when Hughes almost dies crashing the XF-11, we were going to cut into a more contemporary look without either Technicolor process applied.”  — Robert Richardson for American Cinematographer, January 2005

“People are always telling me that change is a good thing. But all they’re really saying is that something you didn’t want to happen at all… has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It’s a lovely store, and in a week it’ll be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap. Soon, it’ll be just a memory. In fact, someone, some foolish person, will probably think it’s a tribute to this city, the way it keeps changing on you, the way you can never count on it or something. I know because that’s the sort of thing I’m always saying. But the truth is… I’m heartbroken. I feel as if a part of me has died and my mother has died all over again, and no one can ever make it right.”

Leia following Padmé’s path in life and becoming a politician at a young age, and then eventually a Senator, a leader the people can trust, who pushes for what is in their best interest

Luke becoming a jedi, like Anakin before him, but learning their ways later in life than was typical, growing from that rocky start into the stuff of legend

Leia as the best parts of Anakin, fiery and ready to fight, a leader of an army fighting against injustice in the galaxy, confident in her own abilities

Luke as the best parts of Padmé, dedicated to making the galaxy somewhere where people can have hope, refusing to believe that the good in someone can just be gone, steadfastness in his beliefs

Leia having a big heart and steel in her spine and a commitment to the rebellion she got from Bail and Breha Organa, who she watches be annihilated along with the rest of her people (the way Padmé saw her planet get invaded when she was just a child, only Leia is unable to stop it from happening)

Luke valuing all people and entering the rebellion with hope and more than a little naïveté, developed from living with Owen and Beru Lars, who he returns home to find the bodies of (the way Anakin found Shmi, only Luke cannot get revenge in the moment, and so it simmers in him until it is transformed, slightly, from vengeance to a need for justice)

Luke and Leia as amalgamations of their parents—the ones who raised them and the ones who didn’t—fated to live in the echoes of their family history but not bound to repeat it.

Luke and Leia bringing hope to the galaxy which is so much like the hope Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala brought, and yet simultaneously so different from it.

We're excited to announce the return of Meta May Mondays! Throughout the month of May, we’re encouraging people to post meta. We have some themes suggested for each Monday in May below, but all meta that fits our guidelines is welcome! Generally, we are looking for canon-compliant meta based on good faith analysis of the show, of at least 100 words. 

If you’d like to play, remember to tag your post with #twmetamay or mention us @teenwolf-meta so we can reblog your work!

Suggested Themes:

May 6: Power. What does power mean to different characters? How do they become more powerful? Whose powers do you think are the most fun? What exactly is Josh's power based on? Tell us your thoughts!

May 13: Place. The high school, the Hale house, the Nemeton, the bowling alley--Beacon Hills has some fascinating places! Tell us your thoughts on the role of location in Teen Wolf, or explore more abstract concepts of place.

May 20: Pack. What does pack mean? How is it defined and negotiated? How do the packs differ from each other?

May 27: Pain. It keeps you human, or so some think, and if it's about surviving, isn't a little agony worth it? This day's theme is about exploring the nature and impact of pain, or what it means to take pain, or other thoughts you might have.

If you were going to add an episode to Teen Wolf, what would it be about?

Oh i so got u bestie; i have so many thoughts about a bonus episode in between Codominance and Sword and the Spirit (5x13 to 5x14)!! The overarching theme of the episode would be trust—how it's been broken, how it's been healed, who you choose to put your faith into (and why), etc.

A-Plot

Scott seeks out, finds, and confronts Deucalion, in response to discovering Theo is looking for him at the end of Codominance. I think you could still keep the tension of whether or not Deucalion is double crossing Scott or triple crossing Theo, and then that final showdown will feel less out of nowhere

The main people involved here would be Scott, Kira, and Stiles, as Kira processes what all happened with the skinwalkers, particularly re: her test, and gets some closure between her & Scott re: her fox

In order for it to make sense that she goes back to the skinwalkers after Codominance highlighted how much she doesn't want to be with them, this episode would have to do some groundwork of her realizing she wasn't in control when she killed the oni and "beat" the test. We see her break her sword in the next episode, so i think maybe she should try to use it again in this one—and fail. This provides some really interesting stakes for Eichen & Scott's faith in her

Also i think scira deserve a talk about scott lying to her, and feel like this could be related to the crater in his chest he also won't talk about. I think his trust in Eichen could really elevated if Scira had a scene where Scott tells her the truth about just how big her fox is, and he trusts her not only with that information, but that she can still do it

Also also Scott and Stiles actually talk about Scott dying for heaven's sake!!! We needed it so bad and I think this would be a good time for it, especially as Kira finds out about it for the first time. Then we get a sciles hug bc i said so

How their varied fears of the nogitsune vs kira's kitsune plays in very heavily here, too

Ahem so anyway this resolves with a tense scene between Scott & Deucalion where you're really not sure if you can trust him at all, and afterwards Scott is worried he's making a bad call—and Stiles says it's okay, because he doesn't trust Deucalion, he trusts Scott, and Kira follows him up by saying that either way, this time, the pack will be there to back him up.

B-Plot

I hate Eichen so bad but I think it would've helped if Lydia had had scenes with Valack when she's more cogent/given more agency—maybe something that clarifies what he was doing with Peter at the end of s4 and how that led to her?

I feel like this would have to be in a mindscape, same as she has with Meredith, so Lydia is able to respond coherently/isn't just a prop to talk at

This could also clarify some of Valack's goals/motivations more concretely and foreshadow Lydia's victory over him in Lie Ability

C-Plot

Instead of Theo telling Malia he'll help her at the end of Codominance, their arc would be drawn out over the episode. This would heighten the tension of her having to depend on him, while allowing her to wrestle more explicitly with whether or not she's looking so she can kill the Desert Wolf, or to save Deaton

At the same time Scott is reckoning with his death, Theo is reckoning with Scott's resurrection—prompted, perhaps, by Corey having realized Scott was scared of Theo in the tunnels, the same way Corey was scared of Scott

Misc

I'd love a scene with Liam & his Dad—a werewolf reveal, preferably, +Liam processing his choices re: Scott & Hayden with someone that loves him, but is removed enough from the situation to comment on Liam's responsibility

I could get a Deaton & Corinne scene, as a Treat<3

#mm mmhm yes good #also like why were most of these things not in the show in the first place Akskdjfj #wild show #teen wolf

I didnst realise that we were supposed to post this yet so I’m posting it late but the rebels discord did a palette drawing challenge and this was my favourite scene!!

(I am not painter nor am I used to only using like, five colours, so it’s very messy but you know, anything for Kanera kiss)

#ohhhh love this! #star wars rebels #star wars

when emily dickinson wrote "spring is a happiness so beautiful, so unique, so unexpected, that i don’t know what to do with my heart" and anaïs nin "to feel the spring, to renew my love affair with the world." and sylvia plath "cheers for spring; for life; for a growing soul" and rainer maria rilke "it is spring again. the earth is like a child that knows poems by heart." and fyodor dostoevsky "and now it’s spring, so my ideas are always so nice, sharp, inventive, and the dreams i have are tender; everything is rose-coloured"

#yea!! #this is why spring is the best season just fyi

[daughterofluthien]

And no I don’t think love ever leaves because it’s been eight years since my dad died and he is in every thought and hope and dream. and when I think I can’t fix the computer he is here. and when I eat chocolate cake he is here. and when the sun glows at 3pm he is here. and he will always be here because his life made mine, and my life will be his epilogue
