Oh, Akio. You sexy, scheming, manipulative son of a bitch. I love you.

Oh I'm not talking about that. I'm capping episode 30.

It was just the way I do it. Which is...perfectionist. They look fantastic, dear. Thank you much!

As for me...I knew episode 30 was my favorite. Almost no panned shots.

HELL YEAH. Seven panned shots in episode 30. Ruka's duel episode had 34.

BTW, it looks like the developers are almost done with the beta testing on their newest release of the gallery software I mean to use for this.Yay! This might stall the release of the gallery by a month or so, but it's that much more time I'll spend perfecting the content, and there are things in this planned release I really want to get my hands on. Namely new and interesting multiple album sorting systems. I don't yet quite know what I'll be able to get away with, but I'd really really love to be able to designate different album sets so you have the option of say, sorting by type of artwork and source (which is the main way it's going to be done right now) or by character. Though not likely to be finished when I open it, if the dynamic albums work the way I think they do, later on I can make the option of selective subject albums, like a cosplay album where the images are are chosen for how useful they are in designing the outfits, or a symbolism album that collects up the shots I'm capping specifically for that purpose. Stuff like that. I have a lot of really big ideas for it, but we'll see what the capabilities of the software are. I asked around and this was the one suggested as being the least buggy/hackable, and having the best keyword search capabilities.

So yeah.

Also, this panned shot was one of the most obnoxious shots I've ever done that didn't involve moving parts. Seriously it took 210 caps of the sequence to get ones that weren't blurry and screwed up.

I forgive it though because it's a great shot of them.

Isn't it?

They look so friendly and innocuous in that way that totally isn't convincing at all. That thing behind them is a big painting or photograph or something and I want one in my house. (It is, the windows on the opposite side of the room, which is a really odd looking room period.) I can imagine having something like that and always feeling tempted to walk right into it thinking it'd lead to another dimension or that I'd just fall right into space.

...I'm a dork.

And then it would surprise you when you'd end up going through it and falling off the ends of the world and hearing Akio's maniacal laughter in the distance: 'she fell for it!'.


This new gallery I cannot wait for. You better have done plenty of Miki shots!!! *shakes fist*

MORE! 

Agreed, though the sword would be so worth the cost.

Except that every god blade needs to be blooded at some point.

Oh, come on. It's so much more romantic if it's the blood of someone you love.

Those caps of Akio and Utena are so nice and glowy.
