I Was Too Lazy To Try To Perfectly Screenshot Each Frame Without Pausing - Blog Posts

For those complaining that the Shadow Dark Beginnings episodes are too short, I urge you to look at some of these scenes frame by frame (pauze the video and use , and . to go back and forth per frame). The attention to detail is immaculate and there's no way they would've been able to achieve this high quality if the episodes were like 20 minutes long. Remember that it's still all free promotional videos we're getting here.

Taking this two/three second clip here to explain my point. First the indicial pose, Shadow's attack in a flash of light, camera following it, a pauze frame, then the impact shot with flashing lights, camera shaking, bight light fading to show the broken arm with the chain, even the lights at where the arm was separated flashing on and off each frame, then BAM Shadow's shoe covering up most of the view, only to be wayy in the back one frame later to give a real sense of speed, the camera needing to catch up to him, one more flash as Shadow slides into place, giving the feeling of slow-motion which also puts more emphasis on how fast he's moving, not to mention to give the viewer a tiny moment to take in the composition of it all. The way it's angled leads the eye from the robot to Shadow, the size difference between the two and hhh the chain so perfectly put in place, slightly tilted towards the camera for an extra sense of depth. It all seems so simple, but there's so much thought and effort put behind this and it's absolutely gorgeous. Putting the frames together below the cut
