~I Nerd Out~

Hey kids!  If you’re a filmmaker, animator, or storyboard artist and you don’t know what screen direction is, you might want to read this.

For the record, there are always exceptions to the rule in filmmaking, which is why I pointed out 3 examples here.

I’ve also found that comic books tend to NOT take screen direction as seriously as film does, but I’m still on the fence if this is wise or not.  My favorite comics pay close attention to screen direction so as to not confuse the reader.

I understand why people want to tell artists everything they post is perfect, but its not always the right way to treat what people post online. Something that doesnt meet an artists standards can definitely be perfect to someone else, but its not productive for the artist to keep holding onto the first draft.

“omg its perfect shut up!!! its beautiful” is well meant but not…. great to hear

make mistakes! get messy! i want to be able to post things that are mistakes and show people they can make something that looks gr8 AND walk away to make something better
