Re: long build up vs short grabbing
In my opinion., it all depends on your writing. While every scene should have some kind of reason, Chekov's Gun is dumb in my opinion. Using that logic, if I have a stove in the kitchen, it absolutely must be used. If I have a window in the loungeroom, it absolutely must be opened. If I have a bowl...

Re: long build up vs short grabbing
Simply put, your writing should ALWAYS be interesting . Whether you are building to something that is a long way off, or start in media res, your writing should always be hooking your readers and leaving them wanting more. These may mean restructering events, etc. The plot should always be progress...

long build up vs short grabbing
I'm hesitating on wether to write a long build up at the risk of losing some readers vs writing a beginning that will grab the attention since the start but that's not exactly what I want. I want to build up the story to a certain point, but I fear some people might not want to wait till that point ...

Looking for a very specific type of music
I digged everywhere to find a free to use military music (that isn't official or representative of any state or such). Anyone knows where I can find a good marching/epic/action military soundtrack that is for creative commons?

Re: Can someone give me feedbacks for my animation?
Okay, I'm no animator, but some comments: (First, I would just say that if I saw this animation in an indie-game, I would not even remark on it - it would be very good. If I saw it in a commercial, better funded game, I would think... well, they skimped. And if I saw it in an anime, from the last 1...

Re: Can someone give me feedbacks for my animation?
the walking animation in the first part is very stiff and goes by oddly fast, the tanks, boats and so on look really good though. when the parachutes/bombs drop it's too timed and mechanical, realistically they wouldn't be so precise. The talking on the characters seemed alright, just their movemen...

Re: Can someone give me feedbacks for my animation?
I saw this a few days ago and was really impressed by the quality. It's got a very cinematic feeling to it. Though a couple of things that stood out to me was: The values are muddy, in that your subject (characters or tanks) blend into the background because they're of similar values. Here, I added...

Re: Is controversial alright?
Terrorism is a pretty common plot device in stories. I don't think I'd bat an eye seeing it in a fictional work. Rape on the other hand is a potential land mine. It's usually used as a way for authors to make their works "dark" and "edgy" when they don't know how to do it via re...

Re: Do you like military?
The question should never be whether others like the military, rather than that you like it. If you say you prefer it over fantasy, then the preference of others should never prioritise over yours. That will just result in you coming up with a story only to be reviewed as 'bland' or 'cliche' becaus...

Re: Do you like military?
I'm more interested in fiction that explores the ethics behind the facets of war than I am in something that straight-out glorifies it, and that applies to just about any setting. Works like Spec Ops: The Line or This War of Mine (to use prominent videogame examples). On the fantasy end, I also lik...

Can someone give me feedbacks for my animation?
I made an animation and got like, 0 feedbacks, which I need so that I can improve. Feel free to say anything about the style or coloring, etc.

Do you like military?
I had a little dispute with some people I know concerning preferences of genre (nothing too serious). So the dispute was between the genres of fantasy (magic, spells, etc) and sci-fi (more in the terms of military). I noticed most people prefer fantasy-based settings, like for example descripting a ...

Re: Is controversial alright?
In my personal opinion it is a lot more about what you do with controversial issues, rather than doing them at all. Well, I have not seen your example movie nor have I read your VN so I can not properly judge your use of such themes, but my general opinion on things: Sure, plain shock value is a de...

Is controversial alright?
I made a visual novel with some controversial topics such as terrorism and rape, (not explicit, but in a way to shock the reader like in the movie A time to Kill ). Some of my real life entourage didn't appreciate it. I know a writer should have the freedom to write whatever he/she wants. So my ques...
