At Least It's Pretty!
{The Introductory post}
I love picspams! They excite the heck out of me! They are so much fun to look through, read through, comment on and make! To be honest, I've really only made 2 official picspams. I've made others but they were mostly just mini picspams that I posted on threads at FF or something. I always wanted to make more but didn't get the chance to. When Smallville got renewed for a 9th season, one of the only good things I thought about was "
yay at least I can picspam something every week". My plan was to picspam the new episode of SV every week...but only the scenes that I found interesting.....well sadly, this season has turned out to be crap so far and has given me pretty much nothing that I want to picspam weekly. I could probably fit every scene that I found
kinda interesting in one post out of 5 episodes this season! In the Chlark thread on Fan Forum, I've taken it upon myself to update them on any Chlark scenes in the new episode since a lot of them can't watch the show live. I update, tell them if the episode was any good, how many scenes Chlark had, which scenes I think they would enjoy, etc. Then I post a little mini picspam of unphotoshopped caps. Every week I watch the episode, come back and all I can tell them is "
well sorry guys but there wasn't really anything great about this episode...and thats not just in relation to Chlark". I've been saying this since the premier. When I post the caps though, somehow at least one of our posts end up with the phrase "
Well, at least they are still pretty!". The line kinda speaks for itself but basically we are saying the show sucks but at least the show is still pretty to look at (in our case, mostly Chlark is pretty). Despite how much I completely hate the show right now, I must admit that visually, this show is quite beautiful....not as pretty as it use to be but I can still find visually stunning scenes....oh and to clarify, I'm not just talking about the cast! ;-) I'm talking about the show in general. Some of the sets, lighting, camera angles, and yes, the cast. I must say, I am very impressed with the choreography at times.
So after reading all that, you are probably wondering what my point is...well my point is this:
Since I can't find any substance in the show that actually makes me want to picspam it, I am going to take advantage of my artistic eye and create completely shallow picspams based on scenes that I find visually appealing. Whether it's the lighting in a scene, the coloring, a camera angle, an angle of the set, the cast looking more pretty then usual, even just a facial expression, I will picspam it....btw this is stuff I find appealing. Not a scene that I think was meant to be pretty or that everyone else found pretty and I didn't really, this is based on my opinion. I think a lot of Allison/Chloe/Chlark fans will enjoy my picspams but I'm not completely basing these picspams on that subject. I am going to try to be as biased as possible...however I'm not much of a Clois fan so you probably won't be seeing much of them in these picspams but I'll try to look past my feelings to include Lois in these cause sometimes she does have some pretty scenes and Erica is a beautiful person.
If the show continues to be pretty every week, you will be seeing these picspams every week with every episode. The picspams will, typically, be split up into episodes. I will be including caps from various places (which you can find in my resource page) which will be photoshopped by me and I will be including comments from myself on why I think the scene is pretty, why I think it is or isn't anything more then pretty, and throwing in random attempts to be witty, most of which, will probably be major disses toward the show so if you have a problem with that, either don't look at these picspams or don't read the comments. :-P
I hope that you guys will enjoy these future picspams. I would like to take advantage of these posts and see comments about what you think of the visuals of the show, what you think of my opinions and whatever else you can think of to comment on.
The only rules I have for these posts is:
Please keep bashing out of them! If you don't like, don't comment! I'm making these for fun!
Please don't steal my caps! I work hard to make them look the way they do and treat them as if they are textless icons, don't steal them for your own personal work.
Reposting is fine with the proper credit!Have Fun!
