Some more things I learned when filming: 1. lighting is vital. I bought a cheap but effective 4k webcam and light holder and it worked excellently. The warm yellow ring light has given much better visual quality. I was considering on going out to buy an expensive camera but this is enough for now. I caved in and bought a 7 ft x 5.5 ft green screen. I film in my study, which is covered in wooden panel and bookcases. I couldn't get an acceptable visual output with the real bookcases (too many shadows). The wooden panel is much better but I would like to have more control over the backgrounds I can use. The backgrounds can be adjusted in various programs, the free one is OBS.

I finished Rings episode 2. My conclusion is that this show is also aimed at a younger demographic (while retaining Adult interest), like a Disney/Pixar film. That might explain the way the dialogue is. Rings 3 dropped. Overall HOD is more my type of show, it is much more adult. Numeanor in Episode 3 looks great.

Yea, the race swapping is still awkward looking to me even if the actor is good. If the races match the place they are from than it makes more sense. Otherwise it looks like they were just casted to make a quota. One of the aspects that I don't like about the cast for the Witcher is that they come across as stage actors that played a lot of shakespeare but don't know anything about the Witcher (besides Henry Cavill). The black Mother Nenneke sticks out to me. She was black, charismatic, and talented but played this character more like a voodoo witch doctor than a conservative auntie that the character is. In general I think the American film industry nose-dived in quality after the late 2000s. It coincided with the Superhero craze and the rise of streaming services. Films prior to this time, and especially prior to the early 2000s were not made in such a rushed manner. Got back to the 1980s-1990s and you can see how much more meticulous films were (often with unique directing styles). There is a 'factory floor'/generic feel with a lot of the stuff being produced now. Also CGI is very frequently overused and the practical effects industry started declining in capability in the 2000s.

Oh, my mistake. Yea, W4 is a real wildcard. Nobody knows anything. I just know that the man in charge of the Gwent lore is playing a leading role. The expanded witcher lore by CPDR is actually pretty impressive but it is really rather political, like Witcher 2. It will be hard to replace the great characters of W1/W3/novels with new ones. I don't think much of it, I find that W3 is so massive and rich that when I have time I could go through it a 3rd time..if W4 turns out to be forgettable, W3 is timeless to me anyway. I don't think Rings of Power and HOD episodes 1 are particularly woke. They are a lot less woke than the Witcher. If they used an entirely white cast the show would have the same writing. HOD episode 1 was genuinely quite good, I recommend it. Rings of Power is worth watching for the visuals imho, and to learn a bit about the Silmarillion.

Galadriel has barely any story anyway. There are a ton of Tolkien superfans that want all the film and tv to be like the books. I read all the main books and TBH I find Tolkien's work, outside of the hobbits/gandalf to be not very character driven. Tolkien focuses mostly about world building and atmosphere. Most of his characters tend to be shallow and not how modern writers would make them. If this was any other franchise, I don't think there would be a fanbase that wanted the characters to be just like those in the books. Critics were harsher in the late 90s/early 2000s (when I used to read a lot of reviews). Now even an above-middling film is classified as very good.

I don't know, it seems to be secret

I think Galadriel is a bit of a 'Joan of arc' type character in this one. For some reason (Witcher Netflix too) I can't really get used to seeing black elves. It just doesn't look right. I am too conditioned for the old ways lol. Are you watching both fantasy shows (HOD and Rings)? This is the best time for TV.

thanks! I have a large widescreen monitor and I use this program: Free Teleprompter Software - Voice Activated Online Teleprompter [2022] (telepromptermirror.com) It's somewhere over the words, the placement matters as it has to look natural.

Yea, I like the story, the characters, and the naval battles. For some reason AS 4 has the most memorable characters for me, besides AS3.

She has a sister that is also a model, right?

AC 4 is probably my favorite. It's a classic. I also like AC 3.

The soundtrack for Rings of Power is also very good- frankly too good for the quality of Episode 1. :

Yea, wow. I thought she was immortal or something : - /

I finished Episode 1 HOD already. Yea, it's a gripping, well made episode. It is better written, better directed, and better acted. Matt Smith as the Unhinged, dangerous manbaby. I like Rings of Power's art direction though. A lot of it reminds me of the book. And a lot of it is so similar to Elden Ring that it makes me wonder if who plagiarized who or if they used the same inspiration. I wonder if they hired WETA? I agree with Sympathy's views though that there aren't enough iconic characters in this GOT spin-off. The focus here is more narrow. There is also a lack of humor and fun characters. It is very serious and intense.
