A while ago I was lurking on Twitter and saw some film critics having a conversation about the eye lighting in giallo films (which are basically Italian horror and noir films from the ‘60s and ‘70s). Someone pointed out it was the same weird eye lighting they have in TOS. They speculated that it may have come from American noir but no one seemed to know for sure.
I did some research of my own and found out that:
a) It was probably made popular by the 1931 Dracula
b) It is now commonly known as a “Shatner light”
c) A lot of people also associate it with Morticia Addams
me and my man were just talking about this the day before, i brought up Dracula as well (it’s one of my faves). i always thought it was a great effect. dated, sure, but that’s part of the appeal.
On June 13, the Ontario government quietly starting issuing health cards—which all Canadian citizens carry in order to access free universal health care—that do not have any reference to gender. The move was an effort to create a more transgender-inclusive policy.
“Many Ontarians do not identify as female or male,” said Government and Consumer Services Minister Marie-France Lalonde in a statement to the Toronto Star. “As society’s understanding of gender evolves, government must adapt. Part of that is being more thoughtful about how and when we collect gender or sex information, and how we use it.”
And in 2017, the government is taking the genderless cards one step further.
so i animated this at the end of 2015, and it was intended to be part of a photoset of 3 dancey gifs, but then i had surgery, and then school started, and i got sick of drawing after finals, blah blah blah, so i never finished the other two. :/
