瞬間連写アクションポーズ02 殺陣・ソードアクション篇 [単行本] and 瞬間連写アクションポーズ03 ヒロイン・アクション篇 [単行本] Real Action Pose Books.

The sword one is neat because they have a kimono on and kimono off version of each shot most of the time. And the third book looks really nice, I hope I can find it.

Bought these books in hopes one day I do an action comic mixing a storyboard/comic style for the action scenes. An example of this would be some panels Agasang did I still swoon over.

Also I wonder how many takes it took to get that cool scene down where he kicks the guys sword back in.

kings-among-runaways:

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING ANNE HATHAWAY IS FOR A SECOND?!

Seriously. Someone takes a photo under her dress as she’s getting out of a car. She happens to not be wearing underwear. And in an interview Matt Lauer immediately asks her what she learned from this experience. As if it was something she intentionally did and had to apologize for. But Ms. Hathaway did not miss a beat. She answered the question by stating that it made her sad that someone would take such a photo and sell it instead of deleting it and that (as shown in the gif above) she’s sorry we live in such a culture where this is acceptable. And then she turned it right back to Les Miserables, by relating it to her character who becomes a prostitute to provide for her daughter. She has continually been an outspoken gay rights advocate. She also fights against the media’s perception of beauty by playing down her weight loss in certain films. She doesn’t talk about how she did it and how awesome it made her feel. She avoids the question because it shouldn’t matter and little girls at home watching her shouldn’t have to be exposed to that message of “the skinnier, the better.” Especially in the case of Les Mis, when her character is starving, which shouldn’t be a body image role model.

Look, I’ve loved Anne Hathaway since The Princess Diaries and I’ve always thought she was a brilliant actress. I’ve also met her. She is one of the kindest, friendliest, and most genuine people (not just celebrity) I have ever met. She’s the real deal. We should all appreciate the goddess that is Anne Hathaway.

How to Squat With Proper Technique

If you are working out in the gym and could only do one exercise it would be the squat. Why? Because no other exercise challenges the human body to operate as singe unit like the squat. The squat has long been heralded as the “King of Exercises” – and quite rightly so. Whether you’re doing it with weight on your back or all bodyweight, proper form is key. I found this article on squat form, and I thought it was written well, even if it is more towards squatting with a bar.

Benefits of Squatting

One of the biggest misconceptions about the squat is that it is a leg exercise. The squat is in fact a full body exercise. Every muscle in your body is challenged when you squat. The legs and hips push the weight up, the abs and lower back back tense to stabilise your back, and the arms are used to pin the bar onto the back (or help with balance in the case of bodyweight squats).

Squats Build Muscle – Squats build muscle throughout your entire body faster than any other exercise. Squatting is a compound exercises that stresses your entire body as a complete unit. The stress put on your body by squats triggers a hormonal release of testosterone in your body. This elevated testosterone aids in producing muscle at a faster rate.

Squats improve your athleticism – If you want become a better athlete no other exercise will improve your overall athleticism like the squat. Squatting helps you build explosive strength that carries over to most competitive sports.

Squats reduces injuries – Contrary to popular belief, squats do not cause injury (when performed correctly). Performing squats with proper form actually reduces the chance of injuring oneself. Why? Because squatting improves and maintains hip flexibility. Additionally, squats improve the stability of your knees, when using proper squat form (below parallel).

Why you need proper Squat Form

Quite frankly, most people have no idea how use squat with correct form. In fact, I would estimate that 9/10 people I see squatting in commercial gyms today are doing so with extremely poor from.

This is a problem for 3 reasons.

It is dangerous – While squatting with proper form is completely safe, squatting with poor form is extremely dangerous. Incorrect squat technique put a lot of stain on the lower back and knees and can quickly lead to serious injury.

You are seriously compromising the benefits of squatting - When you don’t squat with proper form it completely defeats the purpose of squatting in the first place. Increased muscle, elevated testosterone, improved vertical leap – forget about it.

You look like a complete idiot - To someone who knows how to squat properly there is nothing more pathetic than someone loading the bar up with a ton of weight than not squatting with proper form. Learn how to control your ego and do it right.

How to Squat

The Squat Setup

Approach the rack with the bar at approximately mid-chest height.

Move under the bar and place it on your back. Hold the bar in place with your hands.

Stand with and even stance. Your feet should be shoulder width apart with your feet facing out at a 30 degree angle.

Lift the bar out of the rack and take ONLY one step back. Take a big breath. Tense your entire body. Squat.

Squatting Down

Start from the hips – Bend at your hips and sit back into the squat. Imagine you are sitting down on a seat. The hips joint should always bend before your knees.

Check your knees – Keep your knees out. Your knee joints should be pointing in the same direction as your feet all the way down. If your knee buckle in it normally means that the weight is too heavy.

Keep your weight back – Keep your weight distributed towards your heel.

Go all the way down – You should always aim to squat to at least parallel. Meaning, your hip joint needs to be at least parallel with your knee joint. This is incredibly difficult to judge yourself, even with the aid of a mirror. Ask someone else to assess your depth either in the gym or by video taping.

Think about squatting up - On the way down think about squatting up. This will help to prepare your brain and make the upward movement easier.

Squatting Up

Bounce off the bottom – At the bottom position of the squat your hip muscles should be tight – storing energy. Use this energy to help you bounce out of the bottom of the squat. Ensure that you are bouncing off the hips – not the knees.

Focus on your glutes – When powering up out of the squat concentrate on squeezing your glutes together.

Drive your hips up – Most of the power for the squat comes from the hips. Drive the hips in an upward motion.

Racking the bar

Step forward. Ensure that your bar is over the pins before lowering the weight.

The Original Broadway Cast of Disney’s The Lion King

Mufasa :: Sarabi :: Young Nala and Simba :: Simba :: Nala:: Rafiki :: Pumba and Timon :: Zazu :: Scar :: The Hyenas (Ed, Shenzi, and Banzai)

Probably the best costume designs for a musical I have ever seen. The combination of the puppetry along with their facial makeup and outfits is stunning.

MY FAVORITE BROADWAY SHOW! I cried real tears it was so beautiful.

This is the best thing I’ve seen.

Ahh this show was like one of THEE best ive seen

My dad took me to see this when it was first on Broadway.

I was blown away.

Till this day I am still in awe. This was a spectacular show and I don’t even like Broadway like that.

I normally don’t care for things like broadway but I did see this one and it was beyond words amazing

kimononagoya:

I’m liking how the Obiage and Obijime are so much darker than the rest of the colour palette. It brings interest to that part of the kimono. The contrasting green nail polish is also a special glittery touch.

As with all kinds of fashion, the styling of hair and makeup is vital to kimono as well. And it goes without saying, you have to dress to suit your skintone and hair color. This light gold color is a tone my mother “can’t wear at all” and she hates it, but I can wear gold no problem. Keep the whole thing in mind when coordinating an outfit and remember the kimono doesn’t stand by itself. There will be a person in there.
