Not-Morgan-Freeman

Well, here we are! One year of DeviantArt! It's ridiculous to think how far I've come in such a short while. My photography has improved, my editing has improved and my people skills have improved too haha! I'm so so happy with my time here, and I've gotten so much! Whether it's the amazing support from fellow artist, or inspiration from others pieces, I've really gotten a lot from this blog. If it weren't for this blog and all the different people who supported me, I wouldn't have the faith and confidence in my self to improve my skills, photography and more!
So... Since it's my anniversary, I thought I'd go through all the amazing people I've met over the years, and all the amazing art I've seen!
Awesome People!

Seriously man, you've been their from the start! I wouldn't be anywhere without you, I owe basically all of this to you my friend! It's really great to have you as you not only a supporter but as a good friend.

 
(Don't know what's wrong with DeviantArt. Typical that on my one year anniversary the site dies on me! I can't upload the piece I wanted too, and I can't seem to make a journal full of all the awesome work I've seen, so wait for tomorrow haha!)

So I just watched Split from none other than M. Night Shyamalan and oh my god, it was actually really good. Really Good, actually, probably the best I've seen this year (though I haven't seen much this year). I'm not going to spoil anything about anything because this film manages to be ambiguous and shocking, even when you know things are coming. I figured out a lot of the big reveals and the final twist but that absolutely does not take away from the quality of this film. It was genuinely terrifying, and was able to be incredibility tense. Individual scenes in the film could be taken as comedic, but the context of the film make them so unsettling. The writing was absolutely phenomenal, I have never seen Teenagers so well written, and each of the character we meet were all well differentiated from each other. James Mcavoys performance was incredible, and a lesser actor definitely would not have pulled it off. The music was used incredibly effectively, and at appropriate moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it genuinely terrified me. There is a particular moment I actually had to turn away from the scene I was that scared, and by the end I had my knees folded protectively in front of me. Now I know it was scary does not necessarily mean it was good, but I'm the type to be taken out of a scary moment when its dumb. The film had clear rules it set up and stuck to those rules, and I never found myself rolling my eyes, apart from the very final scene where M. Night couldn't help himself, though it was only a minor bug bear and in no way spoiled the movie for me. I'm under no illusions that M. Night has suddenly developed a sudden amount of skill, and I am well aware that he didn't work on this alone, apparently the cinematographer from it follows, , did the cinematography, and that more than likely explains how the film was able to remain so tense and unsettling. The  biggest complaint would be that though well written, the actors of the girls were not the best, but it really didn't bother me! Now it was actually the last night of showing in my local town cinema, and I had planned to go with some friends, but they all cancelled so it was just me and my dad. When we arrived in the cinema it turned out we were the only two who had shown up, and I really think that added to the experience for me. It's the type of film that would still be scary with the lights on, but I probably would have maintained more dignity than I did alone in the theatre, with my only exit being blocked off by my dad. I recommended you go watch it in theatres, but it's more than likely stopped showing most places, but I would definitely, definitely recommended buying the film. And when I say buy I do mean buy, this is the type of film that needs you're money thrown at it so more like it can be made!

Should I upload my drawings, even though they are absolutely horrible?
I mean my photos were horrible when I first started, but the support of DA really helped motivate me to properly improve, but I'm not certain if the drawing community is quite as welcoming as the awesome photograpy community has been.  I might wait until I'm a little better, Idk. What do you think?
