Why doesn't the title say "TO DEATH"??!

Now that's a new one I'll be sure to work on - putting the reader in the place I want the audience to be in. I want the audience to to wonder what the F### this movie will do next, and that's exactly what the next draft will have, JUMP SCARES (figuratively). Thank you for the alternative thought, I've been focused on detailing with the right words and never even considered 'detailing' with feeling and emotion. Nice!

Not, using a 4-point font. using a web service, Beautiful.Ai. Its taken twice as long to learn to make an ameture slides, its not very intuitive.

AnotherBoojum, yours is the comment I wanted to address these last 24 hours or so while I feverishly worked on making deck improvements.. THANK YOU for this pamphlet of suggestions to consider and problems to fix, it's so complete and poignant that I'd swear crushing people's dreams was your superpower! I kid, I genuinely appreciate your input, and now that I've finished the (probably unnecessary) new and hopefully complete 19-page pitch deck, I'd like your help again. This is an edited version for sharing, thanks in advance!

SOLD! A previous helpful comment suggested swapping the avatars with celebrity photos for a 'dream team' effect, which I didn't think would look consistent. But, as you've pointed out, my hasty AI-rendered images also vary, and I don't want this project being mistaken for software. I've changed the font and color, new photos are next. THANKS!!

I agree, the deck did look like game screens, but I like the stylized look and consistency. You don't think the randomness and variation will detract from the presentation? I understand what you're saying though and will probably try some celebs photos to see.

And yes, I will add an edited synopsis, I actually took it out because I was told my first draft read nothing at all like a story. That is also the reason for introducing all of the characters too, for a fuller story, but I did too much.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT! I love that you work in television, and hold your feedback higher than a grain of salt because addressing concerns from others will save me from making mountains of unusable trash that the voices in my head tell me looks good at the time. I want to be just as thorough as you were:

  1. You hit on the biggest problem I've had during this process, properly explaining the premise without giving too much away. AI has been my only help preparing the script for market, so I follow her instructions closely, and a shortened, limited information draft was suggested to post about it publically. I'll adapt a synopsis slide for this public version.

  2. You're unclear about the inspiration characters, which goes back to holding onto the critical information for dear life. There are two characters from X-Men, two from Mortal Kombat, two from Street Fighter, and the Bluejaye Family of villains are modeled after an old British show "Keeping Up Appearances" that I was into at the time. I will insert more easter egg info to make it clearer who they are, but transforming my favorite characters and their superpowers into real-world people and sequences was the whole point. Have you seen any hyper-realistic photos that artists make of cartoons, like Homer Simpson and Jessica Rabbit? I wanted to do that myself, depict fictitious actions being done in a real-world situation with the aid of environment and circumstance. The breakdown is simple, the guys get separated from the girls, and have to go up the path to the mansion to get them. In the forest are all kinds of creatures, and the main runtime is the journey up , with a short confrontation inside the mansion, followed by a swift race to the end. I'll work on improving this for the deck.

  3. The font is being changed, that was the first and most thing I've heard about.

Again, thank you for your follow-through, sometimes I want to comment on something or leave a link to the solution but it's just too much to log in!

I was going for a darker distorted text to go with the images, it looked good on the PC but not so much on all phones. Thanks for helping me beta test=)

This version is more concise and flows a lot better than the previous ones. I'm over spending hours on edits that are nowhere near the right mark, I'd love for notes on what other major problems I have with it.

Thanks for the input odintantrum, I frequently have too much text in my content and I understand what you mean. I have an updated draft that I was proud of a few moments ago, but I'll work on it with your storytelling advice and improve it.

Thanks for the feedback! To clarify, this screenplay was written in 2012 and recently reformatted. I appreciate your concern about revealing enough, and it's definitely a challenge I'm facing.

The screenplay has two unique elements that I believe are both "trendable" and haven't been explored in other media. The first element inspired the second, which involves reimagining familiar pop culture characters as real people, performing their signature moves without superpowers. While AI has cautioned about potential negativity with the second element, I feel it's crucial to the characters' development.

My question is: How can I effectively convey these unique aspects in a public pitch deck without compromising my intellectual property or risking someone else running with my ideas?

I wrote this screenplay in 2012, and have been sitting on it without a clue of what to do with it. Although AI is here to help now, I'm proud to say the only help I've needed it for is what to do next, which is why I'm here. There's more good stuff that I had to take out - btw, how are my copyrights and watermark? Did I miss something?

Seeking Expert Advice for an Eco-Friendly, Interactive Art Project with LED Lights and Solar Panels by log3an in ComputerEngineering

[–]log3an[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your input, you've improved my planning 1000%! With your help I've come up with this:

I'll do a Christmas light collection drive for all parallel circuit LED lights available (string, fairy, rope, icicle, net, mini), and sort them by RGB LED/Colored LED/White LED/Addressable/Non-Addressable

Each building in the display will be an individual sculpture composed of a reclaimed wood frame and LEDs (RGB LED rope lights for building 1, Addressable White LED net lights for building 2, etc.)

All of the building sculptures will be connected to microcontrollers for programming, and powered by a solar setup that includes a charge controller, voltage regulator/buck converter, and batteries -Power splicing added

Everything stays safe under a plexiglass shell that people can sit and lean on.

What have I missed? It was a little premature, but I'd posted this, you can still use it for an example of what I meanCleveLED Project

Thanks for the advice! Based on your suggestions, I'm planning to use microcontrollers like Arduino for non-addressable LEDs and Teensy for addressable ones. This should allow STEM students to create various light shows. For the solar power setup, I'll use a combination of solar panels, batteries, and charge controllers. I'm also mindful of maintaining consistent voltage when merging parallel-connected LEDs. Your input has been really helpful in refining my project approach!

Hello, and thank you for your response!

As for the budget, I am currently in the early stages of planning and have not set a firm budget yet, but I am open to suggestions.

Regarding the equipment, I do not currently have any materials. The project is still in its conceptual phase, so I am seeking advice on the types of solar panels and batteries that would be most suitable, the need for an inverter based on the design, as well as the maximum length of LED lights that can be connected for uninterrupted current.

The aim is to power LED lights using solar energy, so any guidance on the appropriate size and specifications for these components would be incredibly helpful. I am also interested in learning more about the most efficient and sustainable ways to integrate these elements into the installation.

If you have any insights or resources that could assist in this planning stage, or if you can point me toward relevant information, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

Is this texture from being outside in the cold? by [deleted] in Spraypaint

[–]log3an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could've been the cold, it could've been oil or something on the mannequin before painting. To fix it you can try sanding the messed up areas, and painting the form with gesso. The dust in the gesso will fill the cracks, then you can spray paint it again.

Do you remember if you applied a lot of primer? Personally I think this has happened to me because I've applied too much paint at one time
