Short Form is so hard
18 months ago
As a first time filmmaker, it’s probably a good idea to start small. I’ve crewed two short films so far (as an art director/production designer), and they’re an awful lot of work!
The most efficient way to do this, time and career-wise, is probably to hammer out a really sharp script, and move into long form (where most of my ideas sit anyways).
Although maybe I should look into more music videos.
Oops?

So I have a story floating around in my head.
I have no idea how long it is. I have no idea how to accomplish what it wants me to do. I’ve got a few story beats, a general sense of tone, a few visual images, and an overriding emotion to convey. I have distinctive characters with distinctive voices, and I have a narrative structure that takes full advantage of the comics medium.
I just don’t know how to get it out of my head.
