Quote from: MRatNo what I mean is there is no rhythm of pace to the movie. It's like an Egoraptor flick, nothing but scenes obnoxiously slapped together.

A movie needs a rhythm, and is split into 3 acts typically (though not always!) and there needs to be a rise and a fall. Like a breath or heartbeat. You don't have this it's just... scenes. Even trailers have a rhythm and pace. This is nothing but imagery. It lacks pronunciation and emphasis. I'd say everything is overemphasized, but when they're all equally emphasized, then none of the scenes have any weight or impact.

All your work seems to suffer from this, and it's hard to explain how to fix it, because most people naturally just have a rhythm to their work. It's like being tone-deaf, but for a director. I find it very hard to watch your movies because I can't grip what's going on. I feel like an impartial bystander just sort of gazing at it. I can't be drawn in at all.




YIKES!
isnt that basically what.fla in a nutshell

albeit a loquacious nutshell
Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.

Yeah but with what.fla, we're not making a movie in any typical sense. There aren't characters or a world or anything but imagery and emotion to be engaged with. The desired effect I think is very different, so the approach can be.

I guess my main goal here was to tell the backstory quickly and painlessly so that I wouldn't have to give that hideously evil "Watch all the other episodes to find out what's going on" line. But I'll keep that in mind mrat for future works.


I warned you, stupid.

i think i began with it to make something for the sake of making something which according to wikipedia articles can define what.fla as "fine art"

All art made for art is fine art. If you make it for another purpose, it is commercial art.
