As far as I understand, the original compilation is actually made of shots of created movies. And they all had varying styles, probably (one had family shots, another had a group of young people exploring something in darkness, etc). She could just make compilation of shots from each movie in...

I think that we are talking about different things here. You say that you would select a DP based on his reels and shots, not story behind it. And I fully agree with that - what I am saying, that a thematic reel would present those shots better. Of course, we are not looking for a story or...

Perhaps I phrased myself wrong. I am not saying that DP should shoot a whole movie to showcase his abilities, I am just saying a visual reel based on one theme/story is a better illustration. It is a portfolio presentation, so there could be many ways. For example, "mystery" reel - a man is...

Good DP, imho, have many styles and artistically applies them to a specific shot. You can't have one style for all

a DP, which can illustrate a story by right visuals, even better. If one shoots a romantic movie, and if DP can back up the theme by great romantic visuals, that's very important. What's use of DP, who have great diversity of visual styles, but can't choose a right one for right shot? So...

If a particular type of transition is essential for development of the story, you can freely put that into a script. There is no problems with it. If you want, you write the transition itself as a specific scene, because it is so crucial. Maybe like that INT. AFTERNOON CAFE John falls asleep...

I see. We don't describe the transition this way, we just say into what the cafe morphs. Now, the actual morphing process can be shoot in different ways, you can use CGI, a program, use a zoom transition type thing, use fade in, fade out - that's perhaps more of visual thing. However, you will...

I think if you write down and shoot a dreamy story with these visuals and the music specifically for the dream sequence, this could be amazing.

Yes, there is usually no need to write cutout or fade, or dissolve. Transitions are taken care by editors, camera crew and directors. Your job is clearly write the boundaries between scenes, even if they gradually merge or mix. Something like that INT. CAFE. AFTERNOON John orders a coffee...

That's a great scene (I mean bullet stuck in the musicbox). In general, I find your scenes to be very cinematic and full of emotions. Thats' a good thing, definitely, when one can imagine the scene from the description. The whole story is quite complex (as it should be for 5 episodes), so I...

Yes definitely, its a long story so when it is very compressed, one may end with a lot of questions. However, i think u are onto something good, so definitely looking towards watching a pilot :)

I meant by bad ending not your finale but the ending where many leads die lol. Sorry for misunderstanding. However the latest version of the ending seems very forced to me. Rock lies a lot, Emilio suddenly appears, hired guns appear, it is like a gang shootout, not clear how the rock scissors...

Hi I see you want desperately a bad ending, where everybody dies or something like that. There is nothing wrong with that, but the main arch is then becomes a bit strange. We already know that Scissors paid his duties for his crime, why he should be dead? Second, if Paper is a weak man, the last...

This is awesome advice. Instead of predetermined bad ending let characters fight on their own and see who wins. Actually all three may win. From 3 characters Roca has best written strategy to feed her family. Company owner wants to save his company but we have less of his background compared to...

Roca is just Spanish for Rock (what you chose :)). I think, however, she doesn't maybe deserve bad end :( Too much dark series can really stress viewers, so why not at least keep one ray of light at the end of tunnel.

to be honest, I thought it is more of technical presentation, thats why I thought it could gain from a specific theme. For example, depending on music, these shots and impression of them may change dramatically, but again, music cannot be also in vacuum. Ultimately, everything is connected to...

Actually the music is fine, imho. It is just a shots portfolio presentation, without a specific theme, so the music can't be thematic, sorta universal, i guess. It is nice though.

It is much better now. I guess you removed the flares in the forest and some other things. Getting the water shots in one group definitely helped, as we can see some progression in the action. Now looks much better for me. Grouping other shots also would be probably good, plus adding different...

Names are a strange thing and very important. Once u give the names, characters become alive and do things on their own. For a female lead, how about Maria Roca? Maria comes from Magdalena driver killer Sam Cuttner [scissors). Hehe good luck!

I find the whole idea brilliant and very well thought. It has a big arch (the circle) and each episode has its own arch. I can only congratulate! The names were already mentioned, so won't repeat here. I also like the characters - each of them is alive, has a clear goal and incentives, and then...
