Unsteady hands is just something everyone has until they put out about a hundred thousand drawings and actually get good at the craft.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:My favorite cliched line from the screen play was "Hot, but she doesn't know it".  That was so dead-on, it had to be Harmon getting some things off his chest.Krinkle posted:"this, is not her day" how do you film that? What does that mean in what is supposed to describe a film? Is she going to blow her bangs back and roll her eyes and I'm supposed to read "wow, not my day" in her expression? "This is not her day" is a character note and would be an actor's choice in how to portray it. It's really up to the director to tell them how, but the actor can put their own spin on it. I think the point of all the criticisms in the episode were that everyone thinks they can use these techniques to good effect, but few really do. Just like anything, a talented writer can use flashbacks or voiceover or in medias res really well, but most suck at it.

I actually have shaky hands moreso than the average person, like to the degree where I'd sometimes feel uncomfortable doing chemistry labs because I was afraid I'd spill something on myself.

I'm pissed because I've been bitching about it for years, and now, if I say anything, I'll have idiots jumping down my throat for "stealing" it from R&M. An action scene from the climax tacked on to the beginning of a film isn't an excuse to have an hour of boring exposition. gently caress!

It's the exact thing Morty complains about : "I think you should start at the beginning, not where it gets interesting." The bad screenwriter man combines that technique with a flashfoward to try and force interest.

The bad screenwriter man combines that technique with a flashfoward to try and force interest. The thing is there's two different things - In Medias Res just means starting the story right in the middle of the action - you can make a story that's presented in chronological order with an in medias res opening - Saving Private Ryan begins with a huge, confusing, intense battle scene but continues on from that point rather than flashing back to the leadup, because it's the consequences of that battle that kick off the story rather than the battle being the climax. The "Three weeks earlier" thing is combining an in medias res opening with a big flashback - basically starting at the climax and rewinding, rather than working up to the climax organically.

In media res is good and proper storytelling. In media res with flashbacks is a crime against humanity. You sometimes want to start a story in the middle so it's tense (or some other feeling) wire-to-wire. You cut out the beginning because the beginning doesn't fit the mood you want for the piece. You have to lovingly craft the relevant backstory by events that take place during the remainder of the story. The whole POINT of starting in the middle is so you don't include the boring beginning. Starting in the middle then going BACK to the beginning is bad. Full stop.

It knows that it's elements are so simplistic (evil warlord, girls making their escape) that the audience can be trusted to put two and two together so it jumps straight to where it matters instead of putting us through the very obvious backstory.

Gravity didn't feel the need to tell us anything more than "Normal day at space station, BOOM. asteroids." What filmmakers would be greatly improved if they cut out 30 minutes of bullshit? Anything by Judd Apatow. No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes.

I did one. I kinda rushed this one because I legit got bored of drawing Rick and Morty the same way and so I scrapped it and went with a different style. It was a fun experiment.  But tbh, I wish I just narrowed it down to just this.  I'm most proud of the puss filled fat alien.

Is the purple alien in the first one really a guy in an alien suit or is it a real alien who just happens to look like a guy wearing an alien suit?

The first purple Alien is a real purple Alien, the second is an Alien wearing a suit of the owner of the Casino.
