the Story is King

Telling believable, real, relatable stories is the key to all great film and video making. This blog centers on creativity and thought process that goes into making great moving pictures.

Let’s start with a video for MIT… simple, elegant, well designed with a crisp simple music track driving the stories.

What’s not to like here? it’s well lit, it doesn’t try to do too much and it has students at MIT as the stars. it’s hard to miss the final point here….. The students are smart and they are what it’s all about.

Too many stories got all caught up in the creative devices, yet they forget the story they are telling. In moving pictures the story and its development is KING. Let the king rule and don’t let other things stand in its way.
