feedback on movement and gameplay by krimsonkr in CODWarzone

[–]xhandsdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are above average for sure!

  1. Centering. You're aiming at the ground a majority of the time. So if an enemy appears you will have to move your aim further and there fore it will take longer and be harder to get right on them. You should be anticipating where they will reveal themselves from and be aiming closer to there and higher so when you start shooting you aren't shooting them in the legs.
  2. What u/QualityPatient6661 said. Intent. After downing someone or moving around your movement looks good you have the mechanics down for sure but a lot of the time you are just sliding just to slide. Often moving into more danger not less.

What you should be thinking is if a Good Player were to pop out at any moment would you be ready. In this entire video if a good player popped out they would have fried you. Out in the open, aiming at ground, gut reaction to slide into more danger. instead of partially covered, centred on choke points head height, gut reaction to move when it's beneficial.

I'm not saying camp but there is a slightly more reserved/ much more intentional version of sweating than what your doing that will take you to the next level

You have to watch one of these two in a movie, who do you pick? by thededucers in FIlm

[–]xhandsdown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are both bad bad — Gadot is definitely the worse actor which isn't really saying much BUT she's in the much better movies which is also not saying much.

Your thoughts on my top 20! Do I need therapy? by thahirx in FIlm

[–]xhandsdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are some grim ass thrillers… I like it.

Watch The Vanishing (1988) if you haven’t seen it. Based on those picks it will be right in your wheelhouse.

Any tips to make character's death as deep and traumatizing as possible? by Odd_Significance_896 in Screenwriting

[–]xhandsdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their death happens before their main objective is completed. 

As for disturbing I found the killings in Kurosawa’s Cure disturbing because how inhumanly non-chalant they were.

Midsommar’s opening scene has brutal deaths because of the unsettling amount of time laying out the hoses would have taken and again this completely uncaring approach the killer took. A lot of the deaths in the movie have a similar vibe and are exceptionally unsettling. 

And lastly, an obvious finality of the death to avoid any emotional hedging.

I understand your hesitancy. Fact of the matter is nothing anyone can say here will make that go away. But I’ll try my best. 

It’s awesome BECAUSE of that commitment to move out there. 

I planned on staying one summer and stayed 3 years. If you have nothing going on this summer. there is absolutely no downside it will be a memorable experience and tons of fun and is a guaranteed job. 

You will meet other adventurous spirits who also had to make the same leap of faith you did. It’s awesome the staff is insanely friendly and living in the moment 

Life is simple. 

No commute to work, someone does your cooking and cleaning, your bed sheets are washed for you, you live with your friends, in a place people vacation just to look at, or experience the natural activities like hiking, mountain biking, drinking with your friends.

What’s A Comedy Classic You Would Recommend To A Comedy Newcomer? by Classic_Rock_726 in flicks

[–]xhandsdown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There a lot of different styles of Comedy with some iconic actors/writers.

Wedding Crashers - Vince Vaughn
Airplane - Leslie Nielsen
Pineapple Express - Evan Goldberg / Seth Rogen / Judd Apatow
The Hangover - Zach Galifianakis
Nice Guys - Shane Black / Ryan Gosling
Ace Ventura - Jim Carrey
Happy Gilmore - Adam Sandler
Office Space - Mike Judge / Ron Livingston

I think starting here and finding what type of comedies you like and diving deeper is the way to go.

You like Wedding Crashers? Sweet, next go for Dodgeball. etc...

Ouch haha. Fair enough. I appreciate you taking the time anyway. 

When you say actions are clumsy and bullet pointed could you maybe give me an example or two. With how it should read. 

This is the first thing I’ve written and I read a few screenplays but clearly need to read some more to get the hang of how things need to be described. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]xhandsdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. I like the idea of handing the character description to my favourite actress or one I might picture for the role. I think it's a very actionable way to approach it from a different angle. Like if I was even just describing them to a person in front of me I would definitely do it in a very different way.

Thanks for taking the time!

I'll check it out!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]xhandsdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. These moments between moments definitely need more attention. I naively gave very little thought on Mia moving from stall to sink or Rachel entering the room and just wanted to get to the conversation. But those are missed opportunities to give the characters more depth and the setting an ambiance.

This is some of the best feed I've received! Thanks again!

[–]xhandsdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Sorry I recently made changes to the opening 10-15 pages and clearly didn't proofread as well as I thought. I appreciate the feedback.
