Best of Walter Foley, part five: Enoch's Ghost

Four pages into the first chapter, and he's already made a pun

Gosh I love these three

Him stepping in front of Karen to protect her when there's danger

And when he dives to catch her

"A term of endearment?"

*sobbing*

GOSH I love him

I love how worried he is about Ashley, and how hard he tries to show her God's love

He really is just. The Luis from Antman of Dragons In Our Midst, huh?

Walter and Gabriel team-up my beloved

Walter being protective of Karen my beloved

*something about the vibes of how Ashley knows exactly what Walter's plan is because they know each other so well*

*snickers* ahhhhhh, Walter. This is why we love you

The very last scene. Just ALL of it. Makes me cry

Not sure why and not going to think more about it but maybe Lilia would like to hear stuff about cinematography? I feel like it's a maybe with Vil? Definitely with Rook as I feel like Rook would listen to anyone about anything because he

Heck I bet talking about cinematography to Grim, Ace, and Deuce may get them wanting to make a short film.

I do think I'd find random info about cinematography interesting. Any random tidbits ya want to share?

Lilia would probably enjoy my bullshit!

(Vil and rook scare me lol)

Random knowledge:

Framing of scenes can be super important for the story! Making the choice to have certain items or a certain POV for a shot can complete change the intended energy for a scene.

The vertigo effect was invented in the 1940's and used for the movie 'Rebecca' but it didn't get the desired effect right until 1958 with the film 'Vertigo'.

It is created by rolling the camera AWAY from the Focus and simultaneously zooming IN. It is used to create an air of dramatic unease!

My least favorite equipment piece is a crane due to the annoyance of setting up and moving the sucker.

My favorites are the gimble and shoulder mount!

Gimbles are used to create a steady-cam while the camera has to move a lot. This is really handy for action scenes if you want a POV that's kinda IN the action!

They are basically good for anything that requires the camera to be moving frequently to maintain certain shots and you DONT want the camera to shake artistically.

Extreme Close Ups are a good way to make the scene feel claustrophobic or like it's closing in

My favorite film in a cinematic sense is "The secret Life of Walter Mitty"

Other bullshit:

Audio is the make or break with many films. If you have shit audio and it's not artistically intentional, restart.

You can get the best sound effects by doing the weirdest thing!! (Tree fall down? Break/eat celery next to the mic)

This is called 'Foley' and its one of of my favorite things!

I was often in charge of soundtracks becuase I loved keying up sound effects and music tracks! I also have big ass Audiophile style headphones.

Horror films aren't scary to me because I am too busy looking at the camera angles and giggling like a fangirl

My favorite silent film is Nosferatu

I have hearing loss from being the designated sound guy- People always yelled into my mic as a prank (I would have a headset plugged into the mic to make sure i got good sound)

I also often doubled as a "SCRIPT SUPERVISOR" which is in charge of continuity between shots, (ie I made sure your hat didn't change to a diffrent hat between scenes)

My film team hated me as script supervisor and storyboard manager because I was "too ocd about it" and would correct things "too often"

I still want to fucking fight them over that

They also cut a lot of my audio effects from the final version of the short film and that made me even more pissed

I used to "Lone Wolf" a lot of my projects becuase everyone hated to work with me due to my work style (or just hated me lol)

I often let actors improv dialog becuase it felt more natural and I was horrible at story-telling! It was a pain to edit, but the reactions and emotions were GOLD

I really like dramatic lighting! I would often use lighting that would give harsh shadows, one of my favorite lighting sources was actually bonfires.

Fucking love horror films, they go absolutely HARD with soundtracks and specific shots (Extreme Close Ups my beloved ♡♡♡)

I just saw you reblogged that DIOM meme I made (which I deeply appreciate, thank you so much), and I must know:

Who are your favorite characters?

Walter and Ashley! individually but also as a ship lol (snowmen proposal scene my b e l o v e d)

Ashley was originally my fav character my first time reading the books and i feel like it's bc i vibed really hard with how she's a likely-neurodivergent older sibling-type character? and also i was never able to get as attached to Bonnie, unfortunately, bc she always seemed ~too perfect~ to me for some reason

Walter is my fav now that i'm a bit older and better-read, bc he's actually one of my favorite -- and far too rare -- types of fictional characters! he's goofy and sometimes seems to take up the role of the "comic relief character" (which actually i feel like is smth he's aware of and does on purpose, but i can't remember if that's addressed in the series) but unlike a lot of dorky, goofy male characters in fiction, it isn't a using-humor-to-hide-pain/self-worth issues thing- he's just genuinely a goofball who loves to make people happy!! he doesn't really have the same kind of complex issues to deal with that most of the other MCs do, so he's just a very refreshing character to read about

who are your favorites?? 😃

[kanerallels]

13, 27 and 41 for the ask game!

13: What fictional character would you like to be best friends with? Stars, there are SO many characters! I would love to be friends with Inej Ghafa, because she's super cool and I respect her level of faith and she could teach me to throw knives. Or Walter Foley cause he's really funny and is so loyal. But if I had to choose one, easily Anne Shirley because I have mad respect for her level of whimsical humor

27: If you could best any fictional character in a competition, who would it be and what would you beat them in? I kinda want to say Han Solo in flying solely so I could take him down a peg or two, ya know? I love him, but he has it coming

41: If you could make two main protagonists of different worlds swap places, who would they be? I would swap Howl Pendragon and Matt Murdock, because it would be so. Incredibly. Funny. Everyone would be just as stressed as they were before, but for different reasons

Fictional characters ask game!

Best of Walter Foley, part two: The Candlestone

Walter continues to pretend not to know about Bonnie or Billy's secrets (without once lying to ANYONE) out of respect to their privacy

That said

He is Not Subtle, but also kinda stealthily telling Bonnie that he thinks her wings are awesome

Him being a supportive best friend

His Arlo Hatfield impression

*hears Bonnie crying* *goes and gets Billy so they can check on her* *also doesn't invade her privacy*

His spot on ability to bail out of a conversation whenever there's something they need to talk about that they can't tell him yet

THE SICK DUCK JOKE

Walter's all, CALLED IT

Have I mentioned I love how supportive of his friends Walter is? Cheering Billy on, encouraging him to show them his fire breathing, celebrating when he pulls out Excalibur... the list goes on

His love for food

Like, same, Walter. Food is awesome

*gets STABBED while trying to help Billy*

*literally chases down a car and almost gets hit trying to save Billy*

I love this part SO MUCH 🤣🤣🤣

That part where he asks Karen if she wants to get away from Dr. Conner gives me FEELS

*smashes a glass enclosure with a sword*

I love how, when Ashley tells them her mom was a dragon, Walter's immediately all, Cool, now I'm friends with three dragons! He INSTANTLY claims Ashley as a friend, and I love it

*makes puns about getting rid of Devin*

He tries to take a full tray of food instead of a plate. This kid is my LITERAL favorite

Best of Walter Foley part three: Circles of Seven

His friendship with Karen

Him offering to carry Ashley's bags in and out of the airport

THE FISH JOKE MY BELOVED

I just love this scene!!!!

Yes I do quote this scene every chance I get why do you ask

I love how from the point where the random old dude kinda reminds Walter why he's there onwards, he noticeably goes out of his way to help Ashley, and the others, but particularly Ashley

The scene where they start arguing and he realizes it's the cloaks influence!!!!

When he gets emotional and starts tearing up over loosing Bonnie, and how he insists on going to help Billy

WHEN HE SAVES ASHLEY'S LIFE

FEELS EVERY TIME

He KILLS ME 🤣🤣🤣

*charges a dragon*

Gosh I love him

Ashley: Walter, I'm trying to be mature and not shoot your idea down immediately, but... it sounds terrible

[accidental-spice]

Ashley: You can't be serious

Walter: I try not to be, but sometimes it just slips out anyways

[accidental-spice]

Walter Foley is the extrovert of my dreams

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

I can't remember if I've asked before, but who's your favorite diom/oof character and why?

WALTER MY BELOVED idk why i've just always loved him... i feel like he's just a very refreshing character for some reason

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

Hello there! Don't mind me, I'm here in your inbox, demanding to know about some of your favorite fandoms because you seem super cool and I want to know what we have in common (other than the Afterverse, Marvel (and Sylki) and the Out Of Time series)

awww you're so sweet??? i've been in an absolutely TREMENDOUS amount of fandoms so i'll try and just list off a bunch:

SW (especially Rebels!!!1!)

Doctor Who (and related fandoms, i'm mainly an EU audios kinda girl)

obvs Marvel but that one is far more recent (Sylki is my first canon ship since Kanera and the fact that that's my track record kinda scares me)

i am and always will be somewhat theatre kid trash tbh, my fav musical is Bandstand

Bryan Davis' books!!!! Walter Foley my beloved

Les Mis! technically could go in the "theatre trash" category but i'm actually a huge Bricknerd too, so.

lately i've been slightly back into the Hunger Games? mostly from a meta perspective and crying over Finnick lol

i've not actually seen the film (yet! the key word is yet!) but i will drag Pacific Rim into almost any conversation bc drift compatibility

it's also probably worth mentioning that i've worked semi-extensively in stage design and a/v production, so occasionally i go off on rabid tangents about lighting and blocking and color schemes XD i have a bunch of other peripheral/non-fandom-related fixations that occasionally hit me lol
