That Blue Devil
The winners of TF2’s Propaganda competition are up on their blog, this was the second placed entry and my personal favourite though the top 3 are all brilliant. While showcasing all 11,000 entries would be a little impractical I would like to see some more of the winning entries.

Throne of Blood
In the final scene of Throne of Blood, in which Mifune is shot by arrows, Kurosawa used real arrows shot by expert archers from a short range, landing within centimetres of Mifune’s body
Washizu’s famous death scene, in which his own archers turn upon him and fill his body with arrows, was in fact performed with real arrows, a choice made to help Mifune produce realistic facial expressions of fear. The arrows seen to impact the wooden walls were not superimposed or faked by special effects, but instead shot by choreographed archers. During filming, Mifune waved his arms, ostensibly because his character was trying to brush away the arrows embedded in the planks; this indicated to the archers the direction in which Mifune wanted to move.
