Season 2, Episode 1: too much brightness to see Crowley's eyes better
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Contains flashing (mostly in the angry lightning and night driving scenes)
Usual explanation: So, I basically cut to the frame for every shot of Crowley in these scenes (with the exception of stuff where he was far enough away that you fully couldn’t see anything) with some extra character interactions here and there for context. I avoid leaving things more complete so that the video doesn’t get blocked for copyright, and I figure that works fine since this is a closer look at what exists in full in official places anyway.
I'm going to do all of the Season 2 episodes, but these videos take a while to do (it’s a lot of “does it look better like this or like this” while adjusting levels for the different shots within a scene) so I just want to give a heads up that it will take me a while to finish them all but I'm definitely going to do all of the episodes in time (and we’ve got a long wait til s3 anyway :) I hope y’all enjoy!

Heeey everybody. I'm definitely going to do all these videos for all the episodes but life has been hectic lately and I'm getting various asks about Episode 6. I'm going to do these episodes in order, but if you are curious about what episodes I haven't done look like and want to give it a go, here's how to do it in the editing program of your choice (please understand that I'm not going to advise on how to get said episode footage ty in advance):
I use Final Cut but any program should have features like this and there are free options out there. My process is essentially just messing with the brightness/midtones/shadows (these are going to have different names depending on the program but all programs should have some feature like this) until I get as much visibility as I can. I typically raise the brightness first, then the midtones, then lower the shadows setting by -1 to -3 to add a bit of contrast back in. Some programs may just let you adjust brightness and contrast but similarly it's just gonna be fiddling around with it to figure out what looks best. Different shots in a scene are going to have different lighting so I prefer to figure out what settings look best for each shot and then apply those settings to all the times that shot is present. Happy editing!
I'm a silly little youtube channel who makes silly little videos and while I appreciate the interest and share the love for Good Omens
thank you smmmm for your effort! 💖💖
don't stress too much, you're being completely reasonable and thank you for being so lovely :)
You think they’d give him the sunglasses so he wouldn’t have to wear the contacts but no, they just wanna give him severe vision impairment lmao
I’m pretty sure someone on the set asked the same question and someone else said “they’ll know they always know.” Talking about the fans lmao.
@@snakehumanperson2399 they’re not wrong lmao
Props to David Tennant for acting all of this show almost blind (nice pic btw)
I can't help thinking about the extra that saw David walk into a wall on set😂 Poor him lol.
@@Kyuboneomg where was this mentioned
I love how for the entire park bench scene, David literally just keeps his eyes wide open. We all know he can't really see when he wears both the lenses and the glasses, and in this particular scene, you can clearly see him struggling to see.
Also part of the character is that he doesn't blink that much since he has snake mannerisms. At least according to the book.
where did he say he can't see?
@@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837 It's been mentioned in interviews and bts scenes. I don't have a specific link, but I think you can just google it.
@@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837 in the book
@@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837in various interviews
In the book Crowley is describe as not blinking very much, and I THINK David does blink less frequently than the other actors do, even behind the glasses.
Snakes don’t blink. They don’t have eyelids.
@@jpbaley2016 I'm well aware. That's why Crowley doesn't blink very much in the book. David obviously DOES have to blink at some point, since he does have eyelids.
ngl when I wear colored contact lenses I also blink less
Have tested this out before as a dumb kid with new contacts, and figured I don’t need to blink for up to a minute with contacts in. This is obviously very bad for the contacts and your vision (it goes all foggy), but if I were David, I don’t think I would be able to tell the difference between horrible vision and terrible vision lol
Someone theorised that it's him desperately trying to see anything at all through glasses and lenses.
I like the fact that it lines up with the snake stuff
I love how david still acts with his eyes even while they’re covered, it really shows what a talented actor he is cause he gets THAT into character
I kinda feel like it would be harder to *not* involve the eyes while acting.
Try expressing emotions without using your eyes. THAT'S WAY HARDER
Seeing his eyes behind the sunglasses is so weird 😂
Especially since theyre always so wide open 👁👁
6000+ years and still not used to having eyelids, smh-my-head
So we all know that he’s wearing vision limited contacts as well as sunglasses, BUT according to Neil gaimans answering qna he wore prescription contacts AS WELL
not sure if this is what you meant, but david said the snake-eye contact lenses actually have his prescription in them, so he’s not wearing two pairs thankfully😂 still definitely a struggle though, poor man
@@phoebe3575 oh wow!! You’re probably right then, but either way can’t have been easy.
@@rndmdrwrreedr8483 yeah, i remember michael saying that he sometimes got jealous of the amount of cool outfits crowley gets to wear, but then he sees david struggling with the contact lenses and he’s like nope, not jealous anymore😂
How does that even work??! And couldn't they just create prescription versions of the snake contacts? Or even make the sunglasses presciption.
🤦🏻♀️
Is it just me, or does Crowley blink at lot at Aziraphale when talking about his tones of voice and then does his scary snake non-blinking thing after 'naked man friend' and then blinks again when looking at him while he talks to Maggie?
Just realized they are playing a classical string version of Bohemian rhapsody in the background when Crowley and Azi are at the coffee shop. Mixing their style of music together.
4:50 I always imagined his eyes to have this expression most of the time, so to see that he keeps his eyes wide open 90% of the time is kinda hilarious to me.
In the café, they're playing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in classical... that's fun.
I'm surprised he kept the eye contact ons even in scenes he just wears sun glasses.
Well if he didn't, videos like these would reveal he wasn't wearing them. (Plus there are plenty of times you can see his eyes without brightening.)
that is real dedication right there🤌🏻 also considering he said he barely saw anything with them in interviews
It’s probably a practicality thing too. it would be annoying to constantly be putting them on and taking them off between scenes, even if they were only shooting a particular segment where he didn’t have to take the glasses off at all.
I hope the steam from the coffee cup is just edited in , because if it isn’t , then I’m genuinely concerned for the inside of David’s mouth .
If it's the temperature I think it is, he's fine. I use to drink a cup of tea like that. My cousin still doesn't know how I do it.
I'm sure it's edited in post. It's a safety hazard having a hot drink like that on set
I think the cup is emoty when he 'drinks' it.
I'm pretty sure it is edited, because a real steam would fog up crowley's glasses
actors are always handed empty cups so they don't actually have to drink anything on set. if he'd really gulped down coffee or at least dyed water, his tongue and teeth would have been stained when he opened his mouth. the cup was empty, the drinking was acting and the steam was edited in
Whoever on set told David he needed to keep the contacts in, listen here, A+ mate, I hope you have a great day. I absolutely love the care, love, and attention to detail in this show. It fills my cold lil heart with such grand warmth.
Literally been keeping an eye out for these! Thanks for going through the trouble! It really does add another layer to some of these scenes!
the way that I quote the "Aziraphale what have you done?!" multiple times a day.
3:15 this look kills me every time😂 with the brightness up it's even more clear he was jealous af
On a side note: I *really* wish I had the skills to make Shax’s entire outfit, & this video showed me why.
The lighting highlights all those little extra bits: the darkened, burnt-looking edges of the bow on the hat, the angle of the vamp of their shoes (I think I might actually commit crimes for those shoes), the fact that the gloves & shoes are flatter burgundy (gloves) and maroon/oxblood (shoes) to contrast with the hat & skirt (dress?) pops of livid red that match their lipstick. The massive eff-off bow & handbag are both the mottled wine/plum of a bruise. The little three-stone earrings, which I’m certain are a nominally floral/berry image, appear like drops of coagulated blood.
And then the coat with its cuffs too dramatic, collar too broad & the shoulders managing to reach just too high.
Plus their makeup: the uncanniest of valleys are plumbed by having their brows so slim, upper winged liner so heavy (none on the bottom), & lipstick such an acidic slash on a permanently pursed mouth. That, along with unnaturally tight curls, gives the impression of someone cosplaying humanity but getting it oh so very wrong. You can tell they are maintaining (their form, their place in the hierarchy, their sanity) by holding it all so very tightly that it’s about to *pop*, & I love it!
I love this comment so much! Really appreciate your thoughts here and I hadn't noticed the burnt edges on the bow before! The contruction of her suit is so fascinating/there are so many details that make it unique/hard to replicate.
I can appreciate David Tennant staring me down telling me frozen peas are good for ducks and me
YOU CAN TELL HES TRYING SO HARD TO SEE ITS HILARIOUS
The funniest part of this is the TikTok I saw from an extra; apparently during the pub scene David ran facefirst into a wall because he can’t see shit 💀
He was just staring straight into my soul
I was just waiting for these, his eyes seem more expressive (if that’s even possible) this season
You must do this for those last ten minutes
I know it'll hurt but I want to see it anyways
NAURR MAN 💀💀💀
Crowley needs a Mortia Addams light on him so we can always see those peepers
I was so excited to see you were going to make these videos again! Seeing his eyes during those initial scenes with Shax, he does seem a bit... sadder? I can't tell if I'm just imagining it after how sad the finale made me lol
Oooh, thank you! I love catching glimpsed of his eyes, youre my hero right now!
My gosh, once again here we are. I thought I had properly hyper-fixated on S2. But now, I am reminded that DT plays Crowley hiding behind those glasses. He emotes, so gloriously.
You realllllly can see his mini-depression from not having shit to do at the start here. Like he's just bored and not sure what to do with his life, besides apparently wait for Aziraphale to call him about one of 3 things. And dear heavens, the naked man bit. Like just I would pay money to find out what that stream of conciousness was happening there. The jealous little head turn- we certainly could all see that eyebrow before. But just getting to see a little more eye is so helpful!!!!
Like that is 100% full attention there but there's a delicious divide between what Crowley assumes people can see and what his face is doing. You get that little frown, the lifted eyebrow- certainly serious concern. But that little head tilt down certainly changes!!!! It kind of changes from someone observing someone else, trying to piece out something to someone who is trying to figure out if their fragile little thing is safe.
My gosh, thank you so much for this! I look forward to seeing the rest of your hard work.
oh friend this is so delightful, thank you so much
Now I'm wondering why it's got so many wrinkles. Maybe cuz he's living out of his car?
I swear Tennant had a inordinate amount of fun season 2
Anyone notice Crowley's belt buckle?
Wait wait, I always assumed he didn't have to be wearing the contacts while he was wearing the glasses and that was one of the more practical reasons for the glasses. Is he ALAWAYS wearing the contacts??
Yep! :D
I needed to see his emotions in his eyes with this brightness effect actually... dang-
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE VIDEOS
TOO, TOO MUCH BRIGHTNESS WHEN AZIRAPHALE APPEARS
Lovely edit.
It's just so good to see all the trouble the actors and production have gone to making this special world look real.
Alternate title: Everyone really enjoys staring at David Tennant's eyes for 5 and a half minutes
finally i can see crowley jealous eyes clearly
This video is the first time I noticed that the music playing in the coffee shop is an orchestral version of "bohemian rhapsody"
Wow! Thank you for doing this! It makes some scenes (like the park bench) so different to see his eyes! You forget how big they are.
I love what you’ve done, seeking to make Crowley’s eyes more visible to us. It adds to our connection to the character. 😊
Nina: How's your naked man friend?
Crowley: 👁️👁️
I love how he stoped a conversation to scream at the spies to don't feed bread to the ducks 🤣
And even more the fact that he also told us the correct food to give them
I really thought for practicality David wouldn’t be wearing the contacts so much under the glasses but it’s pretty cool that they actually were
I just now recognized the orchestral Bohemian Rhapsody in the background of the Coffee Shop.
is that a fricking orchestral version of bohemian rhapsody playing in the background during the coffee shop scene I cannot believe I missed this
I didn't realise they actually made David keep the lenses on during the sunglasses scenes, especially when the lighting makes it basically impossible to see his eyes
YESSSS I've been waiting for this !! So excited to see the other vids when they come out
I've been waiting for this one for a while. Hope you can make more one day !!
Thank you so much for the work you're doing in making these videos. They're much appreciated.
Thank you!
Oh goodness that was way too over optimistic. I'm going to stop making estimates re: these, haha. It'll happen though! I have some time to make progress over the next few days.
Crowley's power over music is apparently expanding lol.
He's got such big eyes😂
Tennant's optician must be having a field day after every season
I hope you do this for every episode!
I like how the brightness makes his hair colour look closer to S1's, tho i dont mind s2's red - i do prefer s1's
3:15
😈: 🤨💅
😇: 👉👈
I just realized that in the coffee shop you can hear Bohemian Rhapsody in the background. :D
The first time I watched the series I thought that giving Crowley sunglasses was genius so that David Tennant didn't have to suffer so much with the contact lenses. Oh boy was I wrong 😀
o my goooood
crowley closed his eyes when he was angry with his lighting 😮😮😮😮
it is very emotional thing
f why it’s important for me 😢😢😢😢
Omg I love it🥰
I can see Crowley eyes clearly!
THAT IT I GIVE UP
i watched s 2 3x in one week - every time i see videos i need to physically restrain myself from laoding it up again
i lost
im going to watch it again alksjdhkaljhdfafhlkj
I didn’t think I need this video until now
Seeing his eyes through the glasses is so fucking weird
Me: **wondering why it's not working**
Also me: **turns up brightness on my computer* ohhhhhhhh...
WOO I WAS WAITING FOR THIS (found it late >:[ )
omg i love this thank you so much
I wore snake contact lenses last year for Halloween
I don’t know how he keeps the lines in the middle straight lol
"I'm back."
OK I WILL REWATCH GOOD OMENS
i just know he wasn't seeing shit this whole season
0:41 not a thought behind those eyes
I seriously wonder how much he actually saw when in costume, because it can't be a lot...
Why do I have a nagging feeling I won't survive episode 6 if I can see his eyes..
HE WEARS THE DAMN THINGS EVEN WITH THE GLASSES??? no waayyy hahahahahhaha
You're the best! It's perfect!
Also I feel like in this season they made sure in most scenes we cant see his eyes cause his shades are just super dark
4:52 Finally saw where the fly was hiding.
how did I not hear the instrumental cover of borhap in the background during the coffeehouse scene!
I want to see his eyes after the kiss 😢
Are you a bookseller too? Not even at gun point! 😊
we. need. to. know. if. his. eyes. were. closed. during. the. kiss.
he's silly
he's so baby girl
Please do this for the other episodes!
Definitely will! It's just gonna take me me a while to get through them all but I'm actively working on ep 2 as I can :)
*Chanting* EPI-SODE 6!! EPI-SODE 6!! EPI-SODE 6!!
Pretty please??
(Even though I know he doesn't even turn his face to the camera much in *that* scene so it won't help much...but will take any morsels I can get!)
Omg I hadn't noticed that on the bench, he's reading the Tadfield Advertiser ! Wonder how he got it.
Edit : something else I'm also noticing just now, is that it seems there's a string quartet version of Bohemian Rhapsody playing in the background in the coffee shop scene. Interesting.
2:45 orchestra version of bohemian rhapsody!!!!
Dude I never noticed
Does anyone know if David Tennant has ever talked in interviews about the difficulties of acting with the glasses (as far as getting emotions and such across, not the logistical part of it)? I wonder if he exaggerated his eyebrows or other things even more than normal to make up for us not being able to see his eyes.
I need this but for..episode 6... last 12 minites.. for reasons...i tried and amazon just ends up being a messy splotch of grey. D:
please please PLEASE can you do season 2 episode 6 next?? I GOTTA SEE DURING THE FINAL SCENES
Why it feels so illegal
No idea what this show is. Not mentioned in the title or description. Not everyone knows a show just by referencing one character's name, as I was telling Andy and Archie just the other day.
Andy and Archie who? Exactly.
PAPA ME WANT MORE MOVIE
Im just gonna ask that even if you never make another video again that you make this with the kiss scene, I need to see those eyes
