This gif is outrageous

 ■ The so-called “blood explosion” which punctuates the conclusion of Akira Kurosawa’s 1962 movie Sanjuro remains one of the most memorable and influential special effects in film history. Production designer Yoshiro Muraki would later recall this scene was filmed in a single take. No such effect had ever been attempted before, as movies of the time rarely showed violence with graphic detail. Filled with uncertainty, Muraki worried the blood spray he’d rigged up wouldn’t impress Kurosawa, so he added an extra 30 pounds of pressure to the fluid pump. At the moment the pump was activated, the additional pressure caused the compressor hose attached to actor Tatsuya Nakadai to blow a coupling which created a slight, unintentional delay before the fake blood began to spray, and caused a much larger gush of fluid than planned. It sprayed so powerfully Nakadai claimed it almost lifted him off the ground. His heart sinking, as he believed the delay and over-pressure had ruined the effect, Muraki nervously glanced at director Akira Kurosawa, but Kurosawa only nodded in approval.

“oh god i fucked this up”

“yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO”

And to think this is so iconic that “two dudes clash, there’s a beat, then one dies incredibly violently” is just a must-have for action in anime

Its crazy to think that this iconic visual that has been so ubiquitous in pop culture for so long despite that the source material barely being known by people all came from actors staying in character thru an FX malfunction.

In september 2020 I made these illustrations for the “sharktober” that I created with a friend! An attempt to create creative and positive content to improve the image of sharks!🦈✨ Some people have shown an interest in obtaining prints of this arts, and thanks to the invitation of the wonderful kness I recently opened a store at inprnt that provides quality prints!🖼️✨ https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/requinoesis/ I have other artworks on my Redbubble if you want to! I hope you like it! ✨

I wanna add those two girls’ names as cards, and they’re pretty great names. 

Also they are 100% drawn to be placed at Condemned Darklord’s sides. 

This is what peak polyamory looks like.

NASA created retro travel posters for different locations in our solar system in hopes of inspiring young people to imagine a future where common space travel is a possibility. 

these are really important to me

behind this 100% where do I buy prints

These are free for download and print! The files are 20x30 inches. I plan on emailing this one to my local print shop.

i have these on my wall, and i guarantee, they are SPECTACULAR (and yep, CC-licensed, so you’re good to print them locally)

We have these framed in our aerospace senior design lounge!

That’s…kinda cool actually

Not just kinda, pretty dang cool

Honestly in terms of sets? Very little of the Prequels were CGI. Lucas actively attempted to cultivate the idea that he used CGI for everything because he wanted to be perceived as cutting edge. Mustufar? That’s an actual miniature set. The poured jello over the top of neon lights to make the lava. Naboo? Also used miniatures; they used salt instead of water to make the water falls look right at that scale.  

Okay, are we all just gonna ignore that set designers had to painstakingly cut, paint, and arrange 500,000 q-tips?!?

The models for the clone facilities on Kamino are some of my faves from the PT, seen here being worked on by Adam Savage!

Holy shit, that’s really cool

Psssst the set designer wouldn’t have assorted all those q-tips. The set designer came up with all the dimensions of how big that q-tip stadium needed to be, and made the blueprints.

The real creator would have been fabricators, set dressers, or a crying art production assistant who has been painting q-tips for two weeks straight and just really wants to go home.
