 The last time I can remember an ad working for me was the Trailer for Doctor Strange 2 Into the Multiverse of Madness.  It worked because it had everything I wanted in it. It had my top 2 favorite characters in it. Doctor Strange and The Scarlet Witch. I was especially excited for W and because I just finished watching WandaVision. In WandaVision we just see how her grief turned into enslaving an entire town, and how she turned into the Scarlet Witch. In the end of WandaVision we see a teaser of her reading the darkhold which corrupts anyone who reads it, so I was excited to see how they took the character in the movie after all of that happened. The trailer was also super visually appealing. I’m a very visual person, so anything that has beautiful; visuals immediately draws me in. I’ve also always been a fan of magic stuff, and this trailer showcased a lot of magic, and I mean a lot. Like common the protagonist and the Antagonist were both super powerful magic users who wouldn’t want to watch that. Another thing that the trailer does to convince me to watch the movie is the music. I used to be in music, so I have a lot of appreciation for that kind of stuff. It was also composed by Danny Elfman who has made masterpieces from The Nightmare before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Charlie and the chocolate factory, Coraline, etc. He is a master when it comes to music, so his music in the trailer/movie really pulled me in. The trailer for me did a really good job convincing me to watch the movie, because it hit every single thing that I like, and made it totally awesome and totally captivating. This trailer and movie was a match made in heaven.

  Another choice the creators used to bring all the artists to the yard(and they're like it’s better than yours…sorry) was their use of colors. Specifically their uses of bright, neon colors. The colors in the trailer are very dark and gritty. Even when it was showcasing the city of Piltover ( which is the richer city above ground in the sunlight).  The colors are desaturated for the most part giving it a very depressing feeling which for those who watched the show is very accurate. Then. Boom! These bright neon colors are everywhere! Neon colors pop a lot more than other colors, but because the trailer typically is desaturated with its colors, the neon pops even more. Your eye is brought to the colors because of that high contrast, and it totally works.  Take this scene in the trailer for example(about 30 seconds in)   This entire scene is dark. It has a few bright colors here and there, but for the most part, it's super dark. The sign on the other hand is a bright ...

The Arcane trailer showcases vivid, beautiful animation that would make any artist's jaw drop to the floor. The choice to do animation was a smart one. They could have easily made this show live-action, but it would’ve lost that oomph that the animation gives this show. Take it from me, animation takes a long, long, long, long, time. An average 90 min animated movie can take up to 4-7 years. Live action is significantly lower than that. I believe Arcane took about 6 years to make. As beautiful as animation can be making one is a huge risk. It takes so long to make you risk losing all that money it took to make. So it was a bold choice to make it animated, but I think it was the right one. Animation is very stylized, and there are many different stylistic choices you can make that make it visually appealing. They also didn’t have to make the animation look good or smooth. They could have put a little effort into the animation, making it go quicker, but it looks like crap. It doesn’t...

Writing Prompt 10/6

 What do you do on rainy days? Honestly? Nothing at all.  Well, I guess that's sort of a lie. I just do what I would normally do just with the extra caution of not stepping a foot outside. I mainly play video games for literally half of the day. Not even joking. Then I do one of the two things, draw or sleep. I guess I become extra lazy when its's raining like the gloominess has taken over my body.
