YM! Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I think I’m doing Power Pack this year but should it be animated or live action? I am leaning towards the latter as Endless Entertainment is probably most known for family fare anyways and the Pokémon franchise is doing good with a PG rating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know what you're talking about and I understand your feelings completely. I'm definitely going into this one knowing that it's not going to be for everyone.

I would lean towards live action so the film can channel the energy from Shazam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I need your advise: How do you guys go about summarizing the plot of a story? I'm writing The Ancient Magus' Bride now, and I don't want to make my story too long, though I've adapted the first five minutes of the first episode of the source material, and I'm already in the 700s in terms of the words count. If each episode is twenty minutes, that's roughly 2,800 words an episode. 2,800 times 12 is... YEESH. I know I'm not adapting every moment from the story, but I want to avoid over-stuffing this film at all costs. So my question is: when should I writer in summary and when should I write in scene? I know I can't write almost everything in scene like I did with Sabrina and Yin. Also, when is it okay to throw detail by the wayside in favor of summary? It'll be really important for me to nail this down, because while the film's runtime needs to be on the longer side, that might not necessarily mean that the word count has to be obscene--as it shouldn't be, especially when the film is light on action.

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It's ultimately up to you where you want detail to come in, but personally, I think it's something where I commit to some level of detail through the entire film. It's distracting if 300 words cover 1 scene but 100 cover 3. I don't have much experience adapting full series, but I imagine there would be subplots to get rid of if needed. You can also adapt only a few episodes if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did with one piece was use the first major story arc as a base and trimmed less important details an characters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Just now, Blankments said: hmmm? i thought these episodes were pretty good for the most part outside how they've handled kelly all season I agree. I just didn’t like one thing in the episode this week. Quality for Season 4 has been good, but for every 4 episodes each week, I have mixed feelings or dislike one. I liked all four episodes but an obvious twist ruined a character for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
