Hello again. I say that because I was on this board before, a few years ago under the username DibRules. I would've used that account, instead of creating a new one, but for some reason, I couldn't log in. Maybe it was just because it was so long ago. Anyway, those who remember me are probably wondering why I'm back on this board. I've just created a video to assist with pitbulllady's letter campaign to Pixar. See for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=llCN3jxgDIM |

Thank You, and very well done! The only thing that I'd suggest is to make some of the type bigger, since I was having trouble reading it without getting right up on the monitor, and I've got a 23-inch, HD monitor. I do like how you emphasized how Randall actually SAVED Boo's life, then used that shot of the door through which he was illegally "banished" to give some idea of what would have happened to HER, had Randall NOT caught her! I would have emphasized that he'd been working on that project for two years, at least, during his vacation time, at night, on weekends...all the times when everyone else got to rest. Sleep deprivation is considered torture by the Geneva Convention due to its detrimental effects on an individual's physical, mental and emotional health, after all.

Thank YOU! ;D
Making the video actually wasn't too hard, so I'll certainly consider posting up a revised version. One thing I DON'T think I'll do though is add music; I don't want to risk copyright issues with whatever artist I use a song from, nor do I want people emailing me for a piece I would have composed for the video (yes, I DO have music equipment).
Thanks again for the comments.

Great video! (Just watched it).
Heh. I kind of think Randall, although not thinking of humans as sentient, might get... a bit attached in some weird way.
Like I think he might have even TALKED to her. Like a human might talk to a dog, you know when things got hard or whatever. He might have complained his mouth off at BOO who couldn't really say anything back when she was alot younger and the building first started. Fungus would just annoy him with his prattle so as Boo would either be too scared/young to talk back... eh it could happen. AlsoI think it would be important to him to make the right 'selection' so he'd make sure Boo was in perfect health so the test would be a success. Lots of observation to make sure.
(Boo doesn't seem to scream much... it seems like she simply cries most of the time... suggesting she's more 'upset' than scared if that makes sense?! She IS scared still, but yeah... Don't know if that makes sense. Her reaction to his name alone, speaks volumes. Think he became a major part of her life compared to what most kids got on the scare floor. )
Get it in labs sometimes apparently- even with the lab animals they test on, sometimes a certain... wish for their welfare occurs. Like a weird pet. Hey it happens.
So while Randall lacked empathy, he wouldn't really actively hurt her or anything like that. Probably doing that would count as 'animal' rather than 'child' abuse in his viewpoint.

I personally would rather wait until several people say that to add that detail; while this WASN'T too hard, it took a while to work on it at the same time.

*blinks*...Oh crap...I forgot to comment...sorry about that.
The video was great. And liked the use of specific clips to make the details noticeable to even a near-sighted person (which many on the other side seem to be -_-). Not sure what you did, slowing them down or something, that made the clips slower but still detailed, but I like how it turned out. Good pause moments too with text on black screen.
Overall good work ^_^

I mean, he could have just roughly slammed her into the seat of the Scream Extractor, and yanked the restraints as tightly as possible, and handled her the way the garbage collectors handle trast left at the curb, but he's almost dainty in the way he actually interacts with her physically, like he's handling some fragile artifact from an Egyptian pharaoh's collection. There is that certain "distancing" himself from Boo, but at the same time, there's no malice at all. And, in that scene in the Door Vault where she starts to slip from his grip and cry, and he pulls her up close-the look in Randall's eyes at that point is so profound; you can tell he's trying NOT to think too hard about what he's just done and concentrate on what he knows he HAS to do, which is somehow get this kid back home, safe and sound. He's trying not to get attached, but he knows that this kid is innocent and got into this mess through no fault of her own and does not deserve to die just because Waternoose said so. pitbulllady |

Heh, it's a weird thing with Randall and Boo in my fic. The way Randall scared her was probably different to most. He more so talked alot and intimidated her alot, like a dog or something but never hurt her physically or anything (nah, that is so not Randall). It was just so he could control her mainly. And when he was agitated, he VENTED about how unfair it was to her. Because without being able to talk back, he wouldn't be interrupted. For once. Might have even insulted her a bit. And I'm not saying he was overly nice to her. "He said I was pathetic... like I was... like I was... like YOU." But that would be mainly lashing out in his darker moments (his worst state, probably scared himself), and he probably didn't feel malice for Boo personally. There would be NO POINT to harming her, in fact it would be detrimental to his interests at the time! Still, I kind of think Boo and Randall didn't have a NORMAL scarer-scaree relationship. (Like I said... the idea of Randall talking to a kid normally wouldn't probably happen- but considering the amount of attention he -perhaps- had on this one kid, it's possible in this instance.) Ha ha. Weird thing about how Boo handles Randall and his tantrums in the fic. She either says stupid jokes to him or acts like a kid (she IS playful) and tries to distract him from it. Othertimes she just sits in silence as he broods. Randall is very good at brooding. She's not a pushy person. Sometimes he finds he has to talk first. (Boo doesn't find it as awkward as he does when silence falls. lol). Basic idea: (Something has happened, Boo arrives on the scene. The silence extends, Randall gets annoyed by this and fidgits.) Randall (irriated, so snaps): "Well aren't you going to ask we what happened?!" A pause. Boo (calm/honestly curious):"Do you WANT to talk about what happened?" Sometimes Randall talks, sometimes he doesn't. Of course, since Boo isn't that pushy, it's too easy for Randall to get away with not saying anything. And it is REALLY weird when he realises this isn't THAT different to how things used to be. Except it is different. Obviously. I'm going to check out this new video! Good promotion by the way once again! |
