How To Improve Your Movie - Introduction

Introduction

For quite a while now I have been very unimpressed with the standard of fragmovies. For the most part they contain the same music, the same "I spent 2 weeks making this config" claim, and the same, non-existent editing. Other movies have potential, but then are let down by other flaws, such as badly implemented colour schemes or a poor attempt at using 3D.

I am going to outline the key elements for creating a decent movie. If you read these thoroughly and implement them within your next production, I guarantee that it will be improved ten-fold.

	really good article tbh, talking so much sense!

	I really liked it but some things in it I don't think really helped all that much, like when you were talking about 3d and cinematics, you kept mentioning the basic principles but never said what they were. Being somebody that's never used 3d in a movie I don't know if it would be a good thing or anythign like that.

	well I could have wrote like 100 pages on all this stuff if I had really wanted to. But I wanted to keep it as short as possible really, so thats what it ended up with. I mean if you type 'principles of animation' into google, the first link that comes up explains them all. Im all up for helping people sometimes, but I dont want to spoon feed everyone!

	Alright, well thanks for the article :) I think it'll help me a lot.
