Baby bat9/1/2023 ![]() Check out the full explanation in the video:Ĭaroline Ross is a professional photographer who specializes in fashion and editorial photography-you know, the kind of fancy images that grace magazine covers and billboards and the like. ![]() The actors are quite literally talking to our walls.Īnd there's more. In the video, they explain how our televisions are too thin to hold large speakers facing in the correct direction, and until this video, it didn't dawn on me that the speakers to my television are indeed in the back. There's more to it, and again, it falls back onto technology. Sure, you may be thinking, well that kinda explains it, but why do the music and other cinematic noises sound like they're beating on your eardrum while the dialogue sounds like the actors are whispering every line? That doesn't seem very balanced. You need that contrast in volume in order to give your ear a sense of scale." "A lot of people will ask, 'Why don't you just turn the dialogue up?' Like, 'Just turn it up.' And.if only it were that simple," Kendrick said before explaining, "If you have your dialogue that's going to be at the same volume as an explosion that immediately follows it, the explosion is not going to feel as big. You'd only hear every other sentence or two. If they spoke and moved like actors do today, it would sound almost as if someone were giving a drive-by soliloquy while circling the block. They first explained that way back when movies were first moving from silent film to spoken dialogue, actors had to enunciate and project loudly while speaking directly into a large microphone. ![]() It turns out it's technology's fault, and to get to how we got here, Vega and Kendrick took us back in time. Vox video producer Edward Vega interviewed dialogue editor Austin Olivia Kendrick to get to the bottom of why we can't seem to make out what the actors are saying anymore. So if you've been wondering if it's just you who needs subtitles in order to watch the latest marathon-worthy show, worry no more. This is something that has become more common over the past decade and it's caused people to question if their hearing is going bad or if perhaps actors have gotten lazy with enunciation. It seems everyone needs subtitles nowadays in order to "hear" the television. Across all agricultural production, the savings are more than $3 billion per year.All this… and they’re cute as heck? These critters definitely deserve a rebranding. Fish and Wildlife Service website estimates that insect eating bats save more than $1 billion per year in crop damage and pesticide costs in the corn industry alone. Bats are quite literally party animals.īats can also provide essential pest control. And also for the agave plant…which brings us tequila. ![]() Worldwide, fruit and nectar eating bats are the exclusive pollinator for over 500 species of flowers in at least 67 plant families, especially plants that we use for medicinal purposes. Sounds like the amazingly sweet fruit bat had the same impact on Rhi’s heart as a pet dog would, to be sure.īats are not only far less threatening than we think they are (for instance, contracting rabies from a bat is next to impossible, contrary to popular belief) they are far more critical for our planet than we give them credit for. Since Rhi’s aviary releases its residents when they are ready, Eddie has since gone off on his own, but everytime she looks out at the night sky, she wonders if she sees him flying around. Despite his puppy tendencies, however, Eddie was still a bat that ultimately needed to be in the wild.
