Don’t forget to watch! It looks interesting…More here.
P.S. Due to the frustration users are facing with the authentication, I have removed it for the short term until I can figure out the best solution. I am open to ideas.
I will share my thoughts soon: Don’t forget to check back!
Thanks, TamaraFlowers!
Diena’s parents spoke out to the media briefly (in this undated video). A reader has written to make asking if they are genuinely sad, because they do not see any tears.
Diena’s parents are absolutely in deep pain and truly sad here. Her father is truly overwhelmed and keeps covering his face to try to keep his composure so he doesn’t break down. Notice how his eyes look puffy, too, from tears or lack of sleep? He also shows hints of anger as well. Watch his eyebrows as he speak and his fist. You just get the feeling he wants to scream, “Why us? Why Somer?!” He is in shock, if you want my opinion. I think if you would have talked to him at this point, he would have told you he felt like he was in a surreal world–having trouble accepting what has happened and where he has found himself.
Diena’s mother’s voice cracks, too, when she talks and her voice gives out on her from her emotions as well– all supportive of sincerity. I suspect these two, at this point, were dry from lots of crying.
Genuine sadness tugs at your heartstrings, doesn’t it?
A reader sent me this video this morning of the making of Avatar. It talks about how technology has changed animated acting, and how an animated actor’s facial expressions will be much more genuine than before. I thought you might enjoy this!
I have to say for me, if the actor isn’t good to begin with, it still won’t make much of a difference. Regular actors, for the most part, in general don’t capture my attention because they often miss the mark. Dang! I was hoping for some miracle 🙂
Thanks, Christoph.
