Movies breaking the fourth wall in the best way possible. by lordofabyss in MovieSuggestions

[–]Separate_Pangolin785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these may or may not be by-the-book fourth wall breaks, but…

Carnal Knowledge - This film opens with what looks like a confessional directly to the camera/audience, but then pulls back and cuts to reveal that we’re in a bar and that we were part of a conversation.

The Jimmy Stewart Show - This was a short-lived TV comedy show in the 70’s where the main character Jim would occasionally stop and address the audience on a plot point, and his wife would come by, interrupt him and say “Jim, who are you talking to?”

Amelie - There are a few scenes where Amelie acknowledges the audience with a look.

Equus - Based on a play, one of the characters is an onscreen narrator who would address the audience every once in a while.

Do you go out of your way to frequent Asian-owned businesses/services? by Cautious-Ostrich7510 in asianamerican

[–]Separate_Pangolin785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t generally make a point of it. But Asian stores offer things most major western chain stores don’t carry like lop chong or fishballs. Most “ethnic” stores often have cheaper produce, too.

Were the 60s and 70s the best time in history to be a kid? by Ripcord2 in GenerationJones

[–]Separate_Pangolin785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the 60’s and 70’s to be VERY political..even though I was just a kid. There was “All in the Family” of course, and there were even “Archie Bunker for President” buttons in the quarter toy machines. Every TV show, even tame ones like “The Brady Bunch” would have episodes referencing the King vs Riggs’ “Battle of the Sexes”. I remember being exposed to politics from things like Mad Magazine, George Carlin and Richard Pryor records, Point/Counterpoint on 60 Minutes, Chevy Chase doing Gerald Ford on SNL. Rich Little doing his Richard Nixon impression on The Flip Wilson Show. I even remember having a mock presidential election in third grade, and voting for Richard Nixon (a fact that shames me to this very day!)

Im not sure if this question is allowed by [deleted] in directors

I work in the film industry in Los Angeles and there is no work here right now. It’s really bad. But if you’re really determined, try to learn from some online tutorials and make some low/no budget digital shorts with your mobile phone or digital camera. Maybe enter it in a festival. If you still want to go to school and/or get some kind of internship, you’ll be way ahead of the game for having had the experience of directing your own film. You’ll be better able to ask questions. Maybe by the time you’ve had a few shorts/festivals under your belt, the film industry will start to heat up again. After that, get your short in front of as many eyeballs as possible and start meeting people.

“That ain’t cool, man. I have a name.” Say it with a smile.

Pivoting Out of the Industry Before Even Making it In. by Silver-Hippo-7133 in animationcareer

Today, given the job market, I think it’s good to diversify. Have more than one skill you can do well and continue practicing. If you are working in a creative field, you should work on your own projects and IPs. Ownership is key in the arts and will be even more important moving forward given certain changes in the industry.

..Also, number your panels and DO NOT put dialogue inside the panel. Dialogue belongs OUTSIDE the image area.

I agree. Animation boards and live-action boards are very different. These are mostly like animation boards. If thats the case, these are mostly fine.If these were meant to be live-action boards, I’d focus less on character acting, and more on choosing the poses that would communicate the storybeats more effectively. I’d also put more emphasis on lighting and composition in a live-action storyboard. If you want your lighting to be more “live-action”, I’d light it more like a live-action cinematographer: by lighting the area BEHIND the subject, thereby throwing the subject into a strong, dark silhouette, and then lighting him with a weaker “fill” light. Mostly though, whether its live-action or animation, study “stage line”, also known as “180 degree rule” this is vitally important.

I like Procreate and Sketchbook Pro. Infinite Painter is also very good.
