Article Comment – How to Avoid the 'White Savior Trope' in your Writing

If you can swap out a character with another character of a different race, and it doesn't make any difference to the story, it wasn't the person's race that made them the savior. For example, if you had swapped out Clint Eastwood with, say, Morgan Freeman, you could have had the exact same scene, because that scene wasn't about Clint's ability to be white and defeat the bad guys. He was an old man who didn't put up with anything, and he intimidated the thugs to save the couple. In other words, it's not racism if race had nothing to do with it in the first place.

Article Comment – REVIEW: The Kinefinity Terra 4K Offers Bang-for-Your-Buck

Great review, and I loved the video! The only thing that bummed me out was the use of warp stabilizer on some shots. Would have loved to see more of what the camera felt like handheld without the warp exaggerating the wobble. Beautiful footage though, and I like how you presented it!

Article Comment – How to Pull Off the Rolling Transition From the 'Atlanta' Season 2 Teaser

It seems totally doable that Glover would be harnessed into some kind of rig that would rotate him and the camera at the same time. Based on the footage, and how you can see gravity acting on his body, I think it would be very unlikely that the crew did something other than this relatively simple setup.

I actually kind of like it. And apparently, so does Spike Jonze's, since he's done this before.
