One Week Friends Episode 8

Off center medium long shot showing Hase and Shogo talking as Hase looks at Kaori.

Shallow focused medium shot. Directs the viewers' attention to Kaori as the converstion about her becomes more serious.

Shallow focused close up shot. Further emphasizes Kaori as Shogo suggest that maybe Hase should push beyond being just friends with her.

The next series of pictures make good use of scenery to establish a romantic mood with a variety of shots.

Extreme long shot showing Hase and Kaori's long walk together.

A switch to long shot expresses more intimacy.

Full shot.

The above three are a mix of close up and medium close up shots showing the growing intimacy between the two.

As Hase pulls away the view then pulls back to a long shot.

Ping Pong Episode 1

The scene begins with an extreme close-up. The camera reverse tracks to introduce the main character and then the rest of the foreground characters. Camera pulls all the way to a slightly deep focus shot. This gives the effect of the main character's aloofness which is further accentuated with a high angle shot.



Starts with a high angle shot to establish the setting. Cuts to a long shot and reverse tracks to show other players.

Micheal Bay Wants to Direct Evangelion?

To be honest, I am not too keen on this prospect despite his commercial success with Transformers franchise (it made billions for the movie studio) because I don't think he is the right guy to handle something like Evangelion. It is not a direct to toy mecha show and it is very stylistic discourse of self existenalist by Hideaki Anno. He is very commercial, action orientated with big love for explosives plus unmistakable love for US militaria. I just can't see how the live action Evangelion can do justice with his handling. Big time.

If he wants to do an adaptation then Macross maybe more suitable since it is a very commercial friendly mecha saga. Not Evangelion, it is a very personal work.

I really don't like the shakey cam action sequences where I don't know what the heck is going on. I hate it with my passion. I already can see it when this news came up few days ago.

So yeah, that's my take on this rumour now.

Hitsugi no Chaika Season 2 This Fall?

A tweet from creators talking about continuation of the surprise hit (for me at least) series, Hitsugi no Chaika (Chaika's Coffin).

There you have it, I am surprised that the possibility of Hitsugi no Chaika sequel is mulled so soon. If everything goes well, we might see a sequel of this series?

Personally I liked the series not for the albino girl but the male lead that is not annoying at all. 

Fan Made Akira Kicks Ass.

Perhaps one of the best live action Akira to date. I wonder if the upcoming Warner Bros project can equal to this short fan made trailer or not.

If that project ever becomes realized that is.
