Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, April 4, 2023The Visuals of Fear
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 20, 2022
A creepy pov shot works very well if the camera is looking through a window, or trees, or some other barrier. So we the audience seem to be hiding from the characters on screen.
THE VISUALS OF FEAR
When the director Rob Reiner was going to direct the movie based ...
And In the End...
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 30, 2021
In the behind-the-scenes interviews about the show “Seinfeld”, Writer/Creator Larry David talks about the ending of an episode, I think it's “The Marine Biologist”.
To sum it up, the show is about fairly normal-yet-eccentric antics of the four characters, including George claiming to be a marine biologist to ...
The Torture of Watching
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2021
Greece is burning, as I'm writing these lines.
There is fire everywhere, and it's only getting worse. It's probably going to extinguish itself in the sea, when it gets there, in all areas, from central Greece to Attica to Euboia. The ecological disaster is enormous. The consequences ...
Story Seeds
Banes at 12:00AM, July 15, 2021
In the early parts of the story, it helps the quality of the thing and the experience of the audience to layer in the details that will come into play later.
These are little character and world details that will come into play later - the sword that falls off the ...

The Day After
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 15, 2020
Given that it was Valentine's Day yesterday, and that is associated with a lot of special moments between couples, I thought we could talk about the Day After! What do you do on the Day After? Do you run to buy a pill or do you roll over and ...
The Action - Non-Action Ratio
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 23, 2019
No matter what your webcomic is about, from slice-of-life to epic fantasy to dystopian sci fi, it will have a ratio of action scenes to non-action scenes. This ratio is very important as it affects the pacing of your story as well as how interesting and engaging it will be ...
The Turn
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2017
There are few scenes more dramatic, more alluring and more riveting than the moment when the one of the main characters of a story makes the Turn: the moment where they change their convictions- for better or worse.
If properly prepared, the Turn is an extremely cathartic and exciting moment ...
