Remember that you have to ask yourself "What does the audience NEED to see?" to understand what's going on. Then use the 'Shot tells the Story' notes in the Wall-E posts to help figure that out. Hope that helps a bit. :) K Hi Andre,

Have you checked out all the Wall-E posts?

I really enjoyed the comments on the different types of shots, they were inspirational, and bolt is a great movie. lol, however, it seems that after reading all that, i'm still trapped in the zone where i cannot get any ideas. I dont know what it is, but i have an action storyboard script in front of me, and i can't seem to get anything on paper after all this time. It's due next week for storyboarding class. argh. If you have any other posts that may be of help, then please link. But thank you for the help though-- peace!! hey there, thank you for the great “not-a- review” lol.

Princess and the Frog is the one I recently worked on - currently heading up a film called King of the Elves. Great blog! a little bit – but no where near the heavy lifting others did.

It's just like the hula dance in The Lion King. Everything surrounding it was quite serious and intense. Laughing at Timon was great timing and got the audience ready for it. And yeah that multi angle repeat thing can pretty much only be done in parody now. Because it's been so OVER done, it's a joke. But I'm sure people (as in Hollywood) are still doing it seriously. The same for the walking (in slo mo) or jumping away from the explosion in the background. More Bolt to come! Hey Paul! Wow, a testimonial right in the comment section. Cool! I may be copying and pasting it elsewhere if that's OK with you. And I'll have to update the mini consult page to include the audio option. Looks like it worked out well for both of us. So glad you found the consult helpful and good luck with your shoot! K Hi Chris – Yes, a humorous pause can go a long way. It’s just like the hula dance in The Lion King.
