MY GOD WHAT HAVE I FOUND XD
I'm not sorry for having you know this exists XD
Japanese tea bag maker Ocean-Teabag has been making waves by creating little parcels of aroma in the shape of marine animals. Luckily for us, their wide range of tea bags are available at online Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard, maker of such fine products as Space Tea and cat-shaped kitchen utensils.
Ocean-Teabag’s earliest designs included beautiful dolphin tea bags filled with blue mallow tea leaves. Steeping them turns your otherwise normal pot of water into a tranquil ocean. Proving to be a hit among tea lovers, Ocean-Teabag expanded their repertoire to many other sea creatures including the sea turtle (butterfly pea jasmine tea)…
the distinctive ocean sunfish (Japanese hojicha — roasted green tea)…
the graceful manta ray (tropical mango tea)…
and even a blood-thirsty shark (blended herb tea).
The newest addition to their robust series of marine creatures is a tea bag shaped like an innocuous sea cucumber. This little parcel is filled with jasmine tea, as well as a smidgen of sea cucumber powder to lend some authenticity. Ocean-Teabag warns that some people who have a sensitive tongue may find it tasting a little fishy.
The company also crafted a deep sea series that will satisfy even the most adventurous of tea drinkers out there. A few such examples are the anglerfish (earl grey tea)…
the creepy giant isopod (Eastern Beauty oolong tea)…
the horseshoe crab (white apricot tea)…
…and lastly the king of them all, the enormous giant oarfish. ( Delicious Assam tea of epic proportions! ) Just like its namesake, it measures a whopping 19 centimeters (7.5 inches). Drinking tea becomes an art when half of your tea bag hangs out of your cup.
While the notion of turning your cup of tea into fish-inhabiting waters is not new, these tea bags will hopefully conjure up images of gentle ocean waves in your mind.
I think that one of the reasons The Lord of the Rings still holds up, in my mind at least, is that it still used the whole “make a miniature version of the set piece” school of filming.
Like Isengard:
Minas Tirith:
Helm’s Deep:
Osgiliath:
Like… that’s shit is just cool.
“Miniature”
They are technically miniatures because they aren’t the full 1:1 scale.
Although I’d be impressed if anyone could make a 1:1 scale replica of Orthanc at 500 feet high.
Practical effects add value to movies and tv shows that often goes unappreciated until years later.
Very true. I think my roommate and I have determined that the best way to do things was to have practical effects mixed with CGI. You get it close with the practical and then finish it with CGI. Looks better than regular CGI that’s for sure.
Even the best CGI will look dated in ten years. But a good practical effect will always look good.
These very large miniatures actually have a classification in Hollywood special effects: Bigatures.
I’m a massive proponent of bigature and miniature cinematography. They aren’t often used anymore because CGI is seen as “cheaper” except that it fucking well is not by the end of the production, even if you’re ripping off your CG arists. It’s just less hassle to insure an artist at a desk.
Over 21,000 notes… and everyone agrees that bigatures should be used again.
I have always enjoyed the BTS showing things like this.
Drone Dragon 1500
1,500 drones light up the sky over Shenzhen on June 22 with a flying dragon
this amazing display kicked off China's Dragon Boat Festival, taking place on the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese calendar, commemorating the ancient poet Qu Yuan
Imagine you're driving down the street and you see this

Found this while going through my granddad’s VHS tapes and couldn’t find it anywhere online, so here it is.

Every time I’m lucky enough to have this hit my dash I listen to it, and every time I get chills all the way through.
And all ya’ll saying Cash’s cover of “Hurt” is the best ever. Listen to this and give yourself over.
