Artist Reimagines Disney Princesses as Modern-Day Women

Disney princesses are always popular. From Ariel to Tiana to Elsa, there’s something about the group that we just can’t get enough of.

One artist recently used the platform TikTok to bring the princesses to life in a modern way.

Yudelmis “Yudie” San Emeterio took to her account to imagine each of the princesses as a modern-day woman.

Yudie has a pretty interesting back story: she used to work as a specimen processor in a lab, but is finishing up her art degree. She decided to share her princess transformations after seeing other artists produce similar work.

In one video, she completely modernizes Belle (smartphone and all).

@vanotyarts

Saw people doing “glow ups” of Disney characters so I decided to do my own. I went for a more subtle change! #disneyprincess #artchallenge #belle

♬ Strawberry Shortcake – Melanie Martinez

In other, Mulan has an upper arm tattoo and some seriously amazing make-up.

@vanotyarts

I knew that I wanted to do something more dramatic for Mulan, and I love the “ABG” look, so… #abg #mulan #disneyprincess #gloupdisney

♬ Candy – Doja Cat

Tiana also gets the Yudie treatment, and the result is absolutely killer.

@vanotyarts

As much as I like the blue and green dresses in the film, I think pink was made for Tiana ? #tiana #disneyprincess #gloupdisney #artchallenge #art

♬ Talk – Khalid

Watching Yudie work is pretty mesmerizing! She makes updating the look of each princess seem so easy. Her fresh take on Jasmine is perfect:

@vanotyarts

Aladdin is probably the only Disney movie I have never seen and I’m ashamed of myself ? Jasmine is ? though. #aladdin #princessjasmine #gloupdisney

♬ B.S. – Jhené Aiko, H.E.R.

Yudie also took on the task of updating Rapunzel’s look, even though she notes that working with the 3-D image was more challenging than the others.

@vanotyarts

The trickiness with 3D edits is that they’re a bit more involved, but Rapunzel is worth it ❤ #rapunzel #disneyprincess #gloupdisney

♬ GREEDY x TREASURE – conradrocha

Yudie says that she hopes other people are inspired by her work and create their own art as a result.

Art can sometimes be undervalued or ignored on these platforms, so I really just want to open people up to more of it.

She also said that she hopes people realize that even though her art might have specific aesthetics, none of it is meant to be taken as the best way for women to look:

None of my videos are meant to suggest a particular beauty standard. All the princesses are beautiful just as they are, and my videos are only exploring different looks for fun! No one should have to feel that they have to look like these characters — before or after my transformations. Everyone is beautiful!

Isn’t Yudie’s work amazing?! Yeah it is!

Make sure you let us know which princess transformation is your favorite in the comments!

Please and thank you!

A Filmmaker Showed How Green Screens Work With Before/After Photos

If you are a fan of movies and television, you are probably familiar with green screens and you might not even know it.

A green screen is a backdrop that is most commonly used with a filmmaker or photographer plans to superimpose an image into the frame.

Often, the actors are filmed walking and interacting in front of the backdrop, and the special effect is added after the fact.

Many of us are so used to green screen technology these days that it can be easy to forget just how impressive it really is.

Recently, Ian Hubert shared a few stills from his current project that uses a green screen. As a filmmaker and visual artist, Ian is no stranger to the process.

Photo by Ian Hubertz.

Ian is currently working on the web series Dynamo Dream, and he is using green screens in a truly creative way.

The show is described as a “sci-fi/fantasy/cute web series,” and it definitely makes sense that the team would be adding a lot of special effects after the shots are filmed.

Photo by Ian Hubertz.

In fact, fans of the genre are really excited about the work that Ian and his team have produced.

Ian uses a program called Blender for video editing, and his tutorials are some of the most widely shared out there.

In a recent interview with Rokoko, Ian elaborated on what makes this technology so special:

“What I am really excited about is that it is like a new way of filmmaking.

I hadn’t really realized how much of my workflow was based around just avoiding having to do legit character animation.

When I’m working on a scene now, I can just throw the Smartsuit on and animate all the characters.”

Pretty damn cool.

Let’s have one more look at the before/after.

What do you think about Ian’s skills and the use of green screens in general?

Recreated Movie Scenes From a Very Creative Couple

Let me tell you, this is a ton of fun!

And we think it might inspire you to be very productive and creative during this never-ending quarantine that we find ourselves in right now.

Aylia Caulwell and her husband Dan have been spending their time recreating iconic scenes from movies and I think it’s safe to say that they’re doing a bang-up job.

Now, this is what I call “time well spent”.

Let’s take a look at some of their creations. Enjoy!

1. An excellent adventure!

Bill and Ted forever!

2. Home Alone.

Time to defend the house.

3. The famous shower scene.

Psycho is a masterpiece.

4. A little Lord of the Rings action.

Spot-on!

5. Are you a Twilight fan?

Just admit it…

6. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze.

Let’s get dirty!

7. Gotta go back in time!

A timeless classic!

8. Are you ready to dance?

I sure hope so!

9. A good one!

Have you seen this underrated gem?

10. The Matrix.

All kinds of action about to break loose.

11. Here’s lookin’ at you.

An old classic.

12. How to Train Your Dragon.

This is good.

13. Yes! Heeeeere’s Johnny!

I love the homemade axe.

14. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

This one is all in the family.

The fight for good has made some significant strides in these last few weeks. Breonna Taylor’s murder case has been reopened. They arrested all four officers responsible for the death of George Floyd, and upped the charges against his murderer. LA is redistributing $150 million from the LAPD budget to invest in communities of color. Marches have happened in all 50 states and around the world, pressuring our representatives to introduce legislative change. And all that happened because of the protests, the emails, the donations. But unfortunately the fight is far from over. Just yesterday, Georgia was rampantly suppressing the black vote claiming it was for the safety of voters due to the coronavirus, even though more and more businesses are opening around the country. It’s so frustrating that it’s so hard to get people in power to do the right thing. We elect them hoping they will take the responsibility. It is, after all, their jobs to do so. But it’s an imperfect (REALLY imperfect) system, and the way we fix it is by getting loud, donating, hitting the streets, making angry calls and sending angry emails, and never relenting. I have learned so much these last weeks. My privilege has shielded me from so many horrors – many of which were not even hidden. My eyes are being opened to the police brutality and the over funding crises and I’m mad as hell. But anger is exhausting. What we truly need right now is heart, integrity, and a fuckton of courage. So I hope this helps brighten your day, but never forget that the fight isn’t close to over. Now let’s start down that yellow brick road which hopefully leads to real racial equality. You can find a link in my bio with wonderful resources to help the cause.

Those are pretty awesome, don’t you think? I told you this was a great way to spend your quarantine!

Now we’d like to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us what you’ve been up to during quarantine and fill us in on how you’ve been spending your time.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Movies That Twitter Users Never Forgot That Gave Them Nightmares for Years

When you’re young, you don’t really know what you’re supposed to be afraid of until you see it, or read it – and then you can’t forget it.

Me? I read way too many Dean Koontz novels in high school and still have to pull my curtains the moment it gets dark outside!

For these 13 people, these were the movies that made them realize there were monsters out there…and they’ve never really gotten over it.

13. It’s no Walking Dead, but…

If you’re seven, this is some scary stuff.

12. If you like birds you must not have seen this movie.

Or you’re not right in the head. Only options.

11. Only for a month?

You’re a braver 10yo than I was.

10. Oh those poor babies.

No one warned me about the book, either.

9. Who didn’t watch this at a sleepover?

And have immediate regrets?

8. This must be on most people’s lists.

Unless you’re not human.

7. I still don’t like to close my eyes to rinse the shampoo.

And my shower is enclosed by glass.

6. Those costumes, though.

Who thought that was a good idea for kids?

5. Pretty sure this traumatizes adults, too.

I know it gets me.

4. Who watches that as a kid?

I would have needed to be institutionalized.

3. The future is now.

Maybe that makes it even scarier.

2. This just about ruined me in middle school.

I used to think animals were so sweet before that.

1. If you haven’t seen it, maybe don’t watch it with your kids.

Or in the dark when you’re home alone.

Some of these definitely did a number on me, too!

What was the scariest movie you watched when you were too young? Tell us in the comments!

People Share 14 Movies That Traumatized Them

You usually know what you’re getting into – pretty much – when you decide to see a film. Between the internet, television, (digital) newspapers, and your friends on social media, it’s hard to really be surprised.

These 14 movies, though, took turns so traumatizing that some of us who saw them as children still are not ever going to be okay.

14. It was the flying monkeys for me.

Every story about Oz is supremely messed up.

13. Any movie that has a character named “the child catcher” is not for kids.

It was definitely written by someone who doesn’t have any, too.

12. This movie is made out of every nightmare you’ve ever had.

Whoever made it sure likes dark jokes.

11. It’s a movie about puppies, right?

And a lady who SKINS PUPPIES MY GOD.

10. No explanation needed.

If you’ve seen it, you know. Because you can’t forget it, either.

9. Then I guess it was time to traumatize HIS kids.

And the cycle continues.

8. I saw this in college and it freaked me out.

Never go into the woods at night.

7. There is no appropriate age to view this one.

Yes, it definitely holds up.

6. This is the saddest Disney movie for me.

I refuse to watch it with my kids.

5. If you don’t want your kids to ever ask for a beach trip…

This is one way to cure the urge.

4. Why are creepy kids so scary?

Maybe because they could live under your roof.

3. To be fair, having a baby is sort of like that.

But it’s cuter in the end.

2. There’s no way this isn’t a horror movie.

1. No one wants to think about traumatically losing a parent.

I’m 41 and I still don’t want to think about it.

Some of these definitely got to me as a younger person!

What movie scarred you as a child? If it’s not on this list, tell us about it in the comments!

A Girl on TikTok Reimagined ‘Twilight’ as If Bella Was a Regular Teen

You probably remember the Twilight movies, obviously based on the book series by Stephenie Meyer. The books and films are known for being a little extra. Which makes sense, considering the core plotline is that a family of vampires lives in a quiet town in the Pacific Northwest and a human girl is in love with one of them.

Plus, all the vampires glitter!

One of the funniest parts of Twilight is how wildly and fully the girl at the center of the story, Bella, throws herself into a relationship with Edward Cullen, the vampire she’s in love with. While she is portraying a teen girl, Bella definitely doesn’t have her head on straight.

That’s what makes this series of TikToks from seventeen-year-old Olivia Henry so funny. Olivia has reimagined the series as if Bella responded to Edward the way any regular teen would.

In part one, Bella meets Edward and is politely… confused.

@boogiewoogie99

@sherrnerr894’s vids inspired me to make my own, I had fun with this #twilight #bellaswan #edwardcullen #twihard #fyp #thecullens

♬ original sound – boogiewoogie99

Olivia also recreates the all-important scene when Edward reveals he is, in fact, a vampire.

But instead of being super into Edward’s troubling habit of whisper-speaking everything, Olivia’s version of Bella is distinctly uncomfortable.

The best part is that her reaction to some of the dialogue is absolutely spot-on.

@boogiewoogie99

Here’s Part 3! ? One of the most iconic scenes #twilight #twihard #edwardcullen #bellaswan #fyp #humour #thecullens

♬ original sound – boogiewoogie99

Olivia also took it upon herself to recreate the scene where Bella and Edward are lying together in a field.

Anyone who has ever done something similar knows that it’s not always quite as romantic as it might look, which Olivia definitely addresses.

@boogiewoogie99

Here’s Part 4!! New Moon is coming soon ? #twilight #twihard #edwardcullen #bellaswan #thecullens #fyp #humor

♬ original sound – boogiewoogie99

Olivia is actually a big fan of the series herself, and you can tell she’s really enjoying putting these TikToks together.

Definitely make sure this pure art with your Twilight-loving friends.
