Scientific fact: blinking is a natural unconscious uncontrollable action that in general we do automatically 30 to 60 times a minute with the purpose of keeping your eyes moist so they don’t dry out. Jenna Ortaga makes a conscious effort to minimise the number of times she blinks in a scene which is impressive , so a count of 104 in 8 hours of screen footage is an amazing feat on its own . I think in an interview Jenna said “ in one scene I didn’t blink and Tim Burton asked me to keep it up!” She has never said as far as I’m aware that she didn’t blink at all throughout the whole show but clearly she made a concentrated effort to keep it to a minimum which adds to Wednesday’s character. Clearly some moronic people have misinterpreted what was said and taken what she said about ONE SCENE and applied it to the entire show. The fact that it will damage your eyes if you don’t blink for an excessive amount of time shows how rediculous the expectations of some viewers are, especially when you consider the environments that the scenes were being filmed in, dry , dusty , windy etc,etc .
@@MLGPouchy I think it’s to do with the fact a corpse doesn’t blink and to be dark and gothic and to give Wednesday a corpse like persona she limited her blinking .
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ and I I give you moron 2.0 , repent ye repent ye! You are an idiot trying to control the masses with religious rhetoric! I’m not suggesting any religious beliefs towards you so why the fuck are you trying to enforce your rhetoric on me! I have my own mind and am capable of thinking for myself! I don’t need an invisible women for guidance! Yup if there was a god she’ll be a women!
Wednesday only blinks when air got into her eyes.. only 104 blinks for the whole 8 episodes.. Props to the guy who counted every single blink enthusiastically.. Wednesday says " Fascinating " for his hard work.
I think it's because some people say she doesn't blink, I didn't know that was a thing until I saw a video, also I didn't even notice if she blinked or not until then
Jenna Ortega: In the show Wednesday never blinks, so that’s another thing too !! We did a scene where I didn’t blink and Tim said “ I don’t want u to blink “ !! Sure Jenna sure u didn’t blink, tHaT wHoLe 8 MoNtHs MhM !!
For episodes between 40 and 50 minutes each, blinking 104 times in total is very little comparing to us, we blink from 900-1,200 times per hour. She did a very good job trying not to blink during the show and it turned out as a masterpiece ✨
Wow, the fact that she only blinked 104 times in the whole series is insane 💀 (edits are below⤵) Edit 1: ohmygosh. i have 1.3k likes. i hate to be this person but MOM I'M FAMOUS, GET THE CAMERA!
She originally didn’t have to not blink but she accidentally did it in one of the scenes and Tim Burton thought that it fits Wednesday’s personality perfectly so if she blinks it’s ok
@@Frogs4lifeeesomething that distracts you from the actual problem. like for example Xavier was a red herring because everyone thought he was the Hyde so we only focus on that but it distracts you from who is actually the Hyde.
a total of 104 blinks in 7 hours of footage is quite low, considering that most of the footage consists of Wednesday's face close ups. I think I blink more times in half an hour.
We blink 15-20 times per minute so its more like 5-6 minutes of blinking rather than 30minutes, so wednesday in ~7h long series 104 blinks is phenomenal she is only human after all the eyes tendency to shut and the irritation we feel for prelonged blinklesness
Guys, 104 is a extremely low number. We all blink basically every second often without even knowing it. Working around the cameras for several hours. (Okay she’s probably blinking when the cameras ain’t on her but still she would be holding it for a long time during her lines. Some of the blinking isn’t even the same actress as some of it is flashbacks. This is actually impressive. She didn’t even have to I think she choice to add the idea in which makes this better tbh.
It is hard for somebody to not blink for 30 minutes to an hour during shooting, she has to blink atleast once in every scene, she would blink way more if the producer didn’t ask her to blink.
She said she did one whole take without blinking. Now that doesn't mean she didn't blink throughout the entire show. Plus, we blink more than she did in the whole show in like 5 minutes
Ну, вы попробуйте долго глазами не моргать - это ведь жизненная необходимость! Так сказали ей делать, но, видимо, в моментах, где она моргает, это было не критично и не важно... всего 8 серий по 45 минут, а видео всего лишь около пары минут идёт
