Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 6, 2021



I'm happy to say that lately there has been an effort to revive Greek cinema. More new scripts are getting attention and thematology diversifies into thrillers, historical fiction, suspense and even horror as opposed to the age-old sitcom moat that was Greek TV.

One such movie that I had ...

Children's Stories

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 18, 2021



When I was growing up in the 80s, stories that were marketed as ‘children’s' were occasionally brutal.

Characters got maimed or killed, tortured or traumatized, met with horrid ends in worlds that were anything but rosy. And this was a pattern that wasn't limited to, say, English literature ...

What Color Are You Feeling Today?

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 23, 2021



Colors have the ability to impact our moods, so being highly conscientious of the colors in nearby surroundings is important.

Although not always evident, color moods can be reflected in fashion selections because the human eye is drawn to specific colors subliminally when selecting outfits.

The Torture of Watching

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2021



Greece is burning, as I'm writing these lines.

There is fire everywhere, and it's only getting worse. It's probably going to extinguish itself in the sea, when it gets there, in all areas, from central Greece to Attica to Euboia. The ecological disaster is enormous. The consequences ...

The Unseen Enemy

Protagonists are always in need of antagonists.

Usually, those are visible, concrete, specific: the protagonists are up against someone or someones who are obstructing their way to attaining their goal. Some are even so powerfully clashing against each other that they are nemeses. Superman and Lex Luthor, Batman and the ...

Color Theory as a Rewind Machine

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, May 31, 2021



It is evident, when training the eye for color theory practice, that decades and movements in the twentieth century captured color schemes that exuded the vibe and mood of the time. The above photograph is taken from the chapter titled “The American Dream” section of Pantone’s 1940s collection and ...

Balancing speed and detail

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 28, 2021
