Get Practical Tools to Write Your Great Screenplay:

A good lie a character believes in is like a drop of blood a shark cannot resist. Viewers are hungry to see to the end if that lie is compelling and relatable!

I thought this video had a million views or something, it's quality was spectacular, thank you for this.

For anyone who has seen Matt Reeves' The Batman, it's not only visual style and genre that is lifted from Se7en - Batman's entire character arc mirrors Somerset's, with The Riddler representing John Doe's exaggeration of this core belief. Super interesting!

little nuance. don't judge your characters, or their beliefs. you created them, so support them. don't necessarely relate to them or love them, but stay with them. it's too easy to say "but he was wrong". i wouldn't make characters, or even worse, stories about arcs, because it's never that simple. care for what's about you when writing so that you can summon similarities or differences within others

Let’s be real, we knew he would cover Michael Corleone in the corruption arc.

This is an extremely relevant tutorial on making character arcs. It simplifies the task of tracing characters in the story without complicating the ideas.

Probably the clearest, piece by piece breakdown of character arc construction I've found for beginners. Thanks for the video <3 I'm not entirely sure I agree on the open-ended arc being it's own arc, what with interpretation being such a key component in it's classification, but it's interesting to consider nevertheless.

character arks: the narrative you want to enforce

Daniel Plainview. I think something remarkable about this character is the relationship he has with childrens (HW and also the blond girl) this gives him another dimension and a layer above the fact that he is moved almost only by power and ambition. Is like a compassionate side of him.

I would say SEVEN is very poetic. It may be a gross movie,yet, it's a great story.

I have to give it to you man, after reading dozens of books on screenwriting and taking other online courses yours has absolutely been the most informative. Where other books and courses try to lock you into a constrictive structure, or just lack the info of what actions to take to move the story along, yours has an entirely different and eye opening approach. Your method really gives the power back to the writer and has inspired me to stop worrying so much about structure and just write the darn thing. Thank you for making this openly available to all creatives and sharing your knowledge with the masses. You're doing a huge service to us all.

this is beyond helpful. In our filmschool, we just read mckee`s book and that was it. thank you so much for these videos, it really gives me the medium in which to make my ideas come alive.

This is the first time I hear an explanation like this, it's eye opening to me. Thanks!

You inspire me so much, dude. I really appreciate all your work! 🙋🏻‍♂️ You're AWESOME

Man, I have been stuck with my script for a few weeks already (its my first time writing a script for my scriptwriting class) and I just gotta say your videos really are helping in moving forward with my storytelling. Thank you and keep it up!!!

absolute stunning work thank you so much for this, you're videos are not just informative but inspiring too

I'm loving your videos and started binge watching them, so glad I found this channel. Keep up the fantastic work!

some good stuff here - the importance of the midpoint cannot be overstated. The midpoint MUST be a choice - not an external event - by making that choice, they can NEVER go back to who they were at the beginning of the story

Wow, thank you for putting in all of this work. I learned so much from this as character arcs have been my biggest struggle.
