Even if a shot is cinematic gold, beautiful, exquisite and impactful, if it doesn’thelp advance the story, then you have to kill it off. In the same way for gameplay,if your VFX are beautiful, mesmerizing and cool, if they don’t satisfy orcommunicate the right moment for gameplay then kill it off or rework it.iii. “Craft is the sum total of means used to draw the audience into deepinvolvement, to hold that involvement, and ultimately to reward it with amoving and meaningful experience. Without craft, the best a writer can do issnatch the first idea off the top of his head, then sits helpless in front of his ownwork, unable to answer the dreaded question: is it good?” - Robert Mckee(Story)===========================Connect with me! =============================X: ➡︎ https://x.com/TravisMcCallum_LinkedIn: ➡︎ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mccallumt/Instagram➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/travis_mccallum_86/Website ➡︎ https://www.travismccallum.comEmail ➡︎ / travismccallum86@gmail.com===========================Subscribe and Listen to the RTVFX Show HERE:📱 ===========================➡︎YT: @temperedresolvestudios ➡︎Apple: http://bit.ly/3R206HF➡︎Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bQQM1t===========================Check out my production company TRS: ➡︎ https://www.temperedresolvestudios.com-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My goal is to entertain others by helping them feel alive.
