Here I made a Gif showing spongebob getting bigger as he is moving closer to you the view. As well as, having Gary move across the sky like hes flying. Spoongebob is a kids Television show that is shown on the channel nickelodeon. It still airs today and the first episode aired on May 1st 1999. I grew up watching Spongebob and many other people I know did as well.
This television show was canceled when it first airded in 2008 and was then cancelled back in 2014. However, due to fan popularity Disney decided to finish the series with a season 7. They are tying in season 7 to Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith of the Starwars Movies. I have been watching this season so far and I have to say that I am impressed, some episodes are better then others but over all It is great. Here is the trailer for the new season.
Lego released images of one of the new star wars Lego sets that are going to be released later this year. This set here i am particularly excited for as it is a set based off of the clone wars. These clones that you see in the picture, which look like storm troopers but aren’t are art of Anikin Skywalkers’ 501st Battalion of clones. The blue markings on their armor indicate this. These clones would be seen fighting along side Anikin in the clone wars before he turned to the darkside. Lego star wars fans have been wanting something like this for a while now and Lego officially delivered it. Depending on how popular this set is we might be seeing other clone wars era themed star wars sets in the years to come.
Soudcloud is a website that allows people to upload their music where people can listen to is for free. Most people who upload their music do it the hopes that it gains a lot of following. With doing this they can hopefully become noticed by the music industry that has made others famous and wealthy. Some people that come to mind are Post Malone, xxxtentacion and 21 Savage, these are a known musicians who career started on SoundCloud. Post Malone has broken some music records ever since he got a contract with Republic Records he has been doing great. The majority of people know who Post Malone is and enjoy his music. His song that got him noticed was “White Iverson”. Here is his song on SoundCloud you might have heard it before.
Ever wonder why humans like Jazz music? Is it the sounds, the wave lengths, the rhythm that makes us want to dance? Many people like Jazz music because it helps relieve stress, is calming, and is good for creativity. I like Jazz music, I sometimes have it playing in the background when I am doing school work because it helps me focus and it helps block out surrounding noise. Two famous Jazz musicians are Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, the musicians have captured peoples attention and are well known throughout America. Here is a song done by both of them together on YouTube.
There are many scenes in this movie where the Tramps wealthy friend is an entirely different person when he is sober and when he is drunk. One particular scene that stood out to me was the party scene. The scene opens up at the millionaire’s house, the music is done in a way that corresponds with how the people are dancing and acting. The music is loud and energetic like music would be at a party. Then the camera cuts to Tramp and the millionaire, it seems as though they were having a deep conversation in the middle of the party when a woman falls on the millionaire and takes him away. As the scene progresses you can tell that Tramp is drunk, then he ends up swallowing a whistle that effects his speech. Then the music stops and immediately we realize that this becomes a bad situation for Tramp. However, the other characters do not know that Tramp has swallowed a whistle so they continue on, a new song is started and is immediately interrupted by Tramps whistling voice.
This goes along with the luck Tramp has been having throughout the movie so far. He seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or he ends up causing a problem. As he continues to whistle the surrounding characters become annoyed with him and so does his millionaire friend. I thought this scene was done well because it shows how quick things can turn for the character. By the music being slow, fast or absent we as the audience can sense when something is about to happen that is either good or bad.
The usage of the whistle I found to be a great idea because that can very well happen at a party, I am not sure about someone’s voice being replaced all together but swallowing a whistle is something that can happen. As Tramp exits the room to stop being an annoyance and to see what he can do about the whistle a cab pulls up thinking he was haling a cab. Then two dogs show up, Charlie Chaplin’s usage of the whistle here shows all the many different things whistles can be used for and I thought that was a great way to show how sound is interpreted. The same sound that one hears and interprets can be different for someone else. I may like a certain sound and someone may not, a sound I think is suppose to be a happy sound someone else may thing it is suppose to be a sad sound. The only things we hear from this movie are sounds, so the rhythm of the sound, the loudness of the sound all play key aspects to each scene we see throughout the movie.
The movie City Lights produced by Charlie Chaplin, is intended to be a comedy that takes place in the early 1930’s and it is a silent film, there are sounds but you can not understand what people are saying. The movie is in black and white, which I think adds a great aspect to the movie over all. The music is used to help the audience understand what the main character is feeling and going through.
In the beginning of the film the scene starts with some political figures giving a speech but when they open their mouths to speak all we can hear as the audience is nonsense, you can not make out what the characters are saying. As the film goes on you start to realize that the main character is not like the other characters. His appearance is poor, he wears old and dirty clothes and does not have many friends. The only friends the tramp has is a blind girl that he met when she was selling flowers and a wealthy man who only notices him when he is drunk.
The main character is always trying to avoid a situation but ends up in a worse situation then before. For instance, he saves a man from drowning himself. The main was tying a rope around his neck that was connected to a rock, the tramp stops the man only to soon discover the rope is around his neck and the rock is now being thrown into the water. We soon discover that the man that was trying to drown himself is going through a divorce, and by the looks of it, it was not his decision. The Tramp accompany his new wealthy friend to dinner where they have a pasta meal. The Tramp soon discovers that he is eating a streamer that fell from the ceiling.
Tramp soon realizes he is in love with this girl and to win her over he takes on the personality of his wealthy friend. He spends time with her, takes her on dates eventually he saves up $100 dollars because he is poor and that is his spending money. However, when the girl tells him she needs money to have eye surgery that is suppose to restore her vison but she cannot afford it. He immediately hands her the $100 without hesitation and hopes that when she sees she will fall in love with him as he has with her.
Over all the movie was easy to follow along without dialog due to the wonderful sound composure that was in it. It was hard at first because I am not used to watching silent films but this film was an easy watch.
Have you been grocery shopping since the start of the virus? I am sure you have. I went today and it has been two weeks since I have gone. I went to the store with my brother, once we got out of the car we put on our make shift masks which were a bandanna with a coffee filter in it. I do not know how much that really does but I guess it is better then nothing. The first thing we noticed that was different was that there was a line to get into the store. I have never seen a line to get into the grocery store before. On top of that they had a security guard only letting in people as other people left the store. i think there was maybe 25 customers at a time in the store. I saw shelves that were full and shelves that were empty. We were able to get what we needed at the store but there was some things we did not get, Like toilet paper and paper towels. W still have those things but we are running low on supplies. Once we went to check out there was a lady that told us what isle to go to and there was a big Plexiglas barrier between me and the cashier. This is all new to me so adjusting to this new way of life will take some time but I am sure it is do able.
Growing up watching superhero movies and TV shows I always wondered what superhero I related to the most. I also bet that you reading this have had similar thoughts around this, Luckly I found this video that helps break down each superhero and their characteristics so you can figure out what superhero you relate to the most.
I discovered that I relate to the Falcon and Captain America the most out of all the Avengers.
