100%. Storyboarding is about evoking a feeling, inspiring with a specific vision yet leaving room for discovery, expertise and improvement by each department that follows, not presuming to fill in gaps that would make, say, an art director feel constrained.
The irony that in 1977 a mythology that spoke to young people is desperately being revived this week, as Backrooms openly mocks the idea of half-remembered mutated copies, doesn’t bullshit, and is eating SW’s lunch when it comes to reaching a young audience.
Its worldbuilding is unfortunately more compelling than its characters but Backrooms IS the real deal. It’s basically a whole mythology that is *from* young people, not inherited like so much IP they are told to care about because their parents liked a movie once.
And there is no solution, no beginning no end, not a clear sense of malice or benevolence, just existence without purpose. Horror has always satirised this (Dawn of the Dead) but this specific interpretation speaks so well to the frustration of unused spaces.
@illustrevor I once had this issue and if it’s still under warranty Wacom might be able to repair it, if you can send them both the screen and the cable and prove it’s their product at fault. Not ideal because it means being without cintiq for a while too of course
Why haven’t cinemas in the UK not pivoted to showing football n other sports?
They’re always empty. Beer tap by the screen, home n away sections. Would be decent I reckon
I know this has been their way of doing it for years and it's unlikely to change. They've even adjusted the colour of iconic scenes to match modern marketing expectations, so claiming any restoration as 'definitive' is something to take with a pinch of salt.
It's a shame that Disney has one philosophy of restoration---cleaning their films within an inch of their lives so that the seams vanish, like they were never even objects that were filmed (which is more incredible than the sanitised platonic ideal they rework them as)
