It was a first time watch for me and I was surprised by the level of gore (neck stumps, etc) because I recall the marketing really playing up the romance and action elements. If I'd seen it when it released I think the Hammer Horror tributes would've sailed over my head, though

I forgot to id it in the alt text but the banner is a still from the two strip technicolor movie Doctor X (1932)

Still of a woman facing but looking past the camera. Short brown hair with marcel waves, emerald green blouse.
Still of a labcoated scientist leaning over to study a heart suspended in a jar.
A man with a pencil moustache in a flat cap, pinstripe suit and broad striped necktie clutches his throat
A different labcoated scientist smiles eerily, lit from above by red light and white light from below.

oh wait she's a general's daughter lmao

Red Salute (1935). A close up of a pair of hands holding a copy of the "Washington Express", which has on the front page a picture of Barbara and the activist with the headline, "GENERAL'S DAUGHTER AND RADICAL COMPANION OUSTED FROM CAMPUS"

Like Red Salute (1935). Barbara Stanwyck and a left-wing campus activist? Though odds aren't good that he'll keep his politics all the way through the picture, even if it is the 1930s

Red Salute (1935). Robert Young off in the distance gesturing dramatically, surrounded by a crowd of listeners. In the foreground, Barbara Stanwyck in her convertible, listening to his speech. He says, "Don't believe the lies they hand you here."
Red Salute (1935). Close-up of Barbara Stanwyck in her convertable, looking on admiringly. Robert Young (not pictured) continues, "They're teaching you to crush labor,"
Same scene. Robert Young continues, "the proletariat of the world."
Red Salute (1935). Two college students. One, looking mad, says, "Crush raspberries!" The other, looking confused, asks his friend, "What's a proletariat, Jim?"

I managed to track down a better version of this and a bunch of other UPA animated shorts. It preserves a lot of low-contrast details that were just jpeg smears in the first version I found

The exact same frame as the previous post, but clearer, less yellowed, and zoomed in a little to make the details clearer in standard definition at the cost of the right-hand margin of the frame
Still from Gerald McBoing Boing. Gerald's dad is dialing a phone on a small red stand. In the background, a staircase and the front door are sketched in low-contrast purple line work. The scene is framed by a cased opening (a "doorway" with no door) with a tied back red curtain.
Still from Gerald McBoing Boing. Gerald and his mom in the kitchen. Mom's reading a piece of paper by the sink. Gerald is standing on a tall footstool by an open cabinet. The floor is a solid yellow. The wall is the same color, but with a grid of white lines that suggests tiles
Still from Gerald McBoing Boing. Gerald has a bindle slung over his shoulder and is standing by a railroad crossing sign at night as snow falls around him. He looks back warily

The shader node system seems pretty powerful and as a bonus, stuff like this renders so much faster than raytraced photorealism

of course I immediately found something I liked better. The nice thing about using blender is that you can quickly change camera angles and materials

The exact same scene except it's using a perspective camera, seen from a slightly different angle, and everything in the room is using the same material, which shows the very brightest sections as yellow and everything else in two muted shades of gray

Here's the tutorial. Grease pencil objects in blender have a whole bunch of modifiers specifically for manipulating line art and you can stack them to get interesting effects

I think I'm gonna downgrade for a while. I was following this tutorial and I had some cool-looking flat colors & grease pencil lines and I don't think I need the eevee rayracing stuff to do what I want www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzTN...

Three Cornered Moon was kinda mid. The standout moments for me were: 1. when the artsy boyfriend got evicted from his apartment and there was a random cubist painting among his stuff 2. a scene at a bank where they had a cool mini stock exchange thing. Scrolling ticker, guys with headphones, etc

Three Cornered Moon (1933). At the foot of the steps to an apartment building, a suitcase, a hat, a book and a cubist painting.
Three Cornered Moon (1933). A floor-to-ceiling display of stock price information, with a large, back-lit, scrolling ticker at the top. A couple of attendants in sport coats, one wearing a pair of headphones, are rearranging numbers on the board to reflect new info. The subtitle reads, "WOMAN: They're going higher! Look at Atchison!"
