LIA Cast 143 - Rendered vs. Rough

Talking about spit and polish on the LIA cast!

“Production Value” is the most immediately apparent aspect of your visual storytelling project. This “first impression” of your work invites you to think carefully about the visual style you choose. Does the project require a slick, polished look? Or would the ideas be better communicated by a rougher, almost crude style? Should bandwidth constraints be a factor in deciding between a polished and rough style? Should available tools and resources? In this episode of the LIA Cast we’re digging below to see if we can’t find the decisions that determine the surface features.

LIA Cast 140 - Scary Stories, with Kohl Glass

Talking about making our stories scary on the LIA Cast!

It’s the time of year where nearly everyone celebrates things that make us uneasy or frightened. And we wouldn’t be Lean Into Art if we didn’t step back and ask the following questions:

Why do we like to be frightened (in a safe way)?
What is it that makes a thing frightening?
How do we use these elements in our stories to make an audience feel chills?

We’re joined by filmmaker Kohl Glass, director of Dragonfyre and the upcoming feature The Stepsister, for a discussion on what makes a story scary.
