Editor's Notes
- It is all about watching. You want people to watch your work. How do you do it?
- My back ground is not animation. I studied at film school in L.A. Live action. I am surprised I have been able to make 17 hours of animation, as i have very limited knowledge of animation. You guys are more talented than me., when it comes to animation. Most of the student projects I look at have wonderful design, great illustration, but no story. No character development. I will share with you my mistakes and what I leared from studying PIXAR. Lets beginning: WHY DO WE WATCH MOVIES? WHY DO YOU GO TO THE CINEMA? You need to understand THIS in order to make film. You have to know this in order to create good stories.
- In film school I always thought we watched cinema, because we are lonely.
- Alexander Skaarsgaard What makes him someone you want to watch? First you judge someone by their look, but the important element is the character. WHAT MAKES AN INTERESTING CHARACTER.
- You have all the answers within you. Just think about how you pick a friend, You want the hero of your story to be your very best friend. You want to connect emotionally. So how can you connect emotionally with your main character?
- Here are the traditional list of why we connect with someone. NEED TO DO IT IN THE FIRST ACT OF YOUR STORY.
- Several ways you can make the audience feel pity for the character.
- I was editing Svend Wams DEPSERATAE BEKJENSKAPER. WAM & VENNERØD.
- How do you make your hero human? Can work the other way as well, in test screenings of FATAL ATTRACTION, (michael douglas had one night stand with glen close.) the audience kind of liked the protagonist, glenn close, that was until she boiled the pet rabbit of michael douglas family.
- And how do you make the audience look up to the main character. All this you need to establish in the first act of your movie.
- Once you have created a great character we love, you send him/her on a journey. You fuck up his life! We will be devestated, we love the hero.
- Once you have created a hero we like, we have to take him or her on a journey. The stake which drives the hero through the second act needs to be high.
- At the beginning the hero is cool, emotionally protected, at the end of the second act, the hero is emotionally naked, and in the third act the hero is FREE.
- You maintain viewers interest, through conflict. The only way to change emotion is though conflict. Without a conflict you do not have a scene and you defenitly do not have a movie. EVERY SCENE NEEDS CONFLICT. You need two characters to create a conflict, but the best is three people.
- As I said, even Hollywood fucks this up, once in a while. Lets look at two examples. Two similar movies, but one with a much more successful opening than the other.
- MERLIN
- Lenny – the shark. Oscar – the hero.
- We identify with ELLA.
- Lenny the shark is much more interesting character. IT IS ALWAYS THE CHARACTER WITH THE BIGGEST GROWTH THROUGHT THE SECOND ACT, WHO IS THE MAIN CHARACTER.
- 22 RULES FROM PIXAR
- . Peter Lord said yesterday; getting the story right was the most difficult. I agree.
