So does no one have an opinion, or is that no one has read it? I know you'll think, oh he's just bumping his thread, but I would really like some feed back as I'm already planning my next blog entry and would like to know if this is helping anyone. Also would like any suggestions of levels that people feel are cinematic.

Hey, I think this is a very good idea. I use techniques from fiction writing, I hadn't thought of researching movie techniques yet, but it makes perfect sense. I'm looking forward to your next blog. Do you know what it will be about?

I think Mrsupercomputer's latest level uses these environmental changes pretty well. You should check it out.

My next blog will be going into the various visual components that make up film. I am going to give a general overview of each and how they could be applied. Thank you all for the suggestions on levels, I will make sure to check them out. My plan is to focus on different visual techniques first and then move onto story techniques but I can mix it up if people want me to switch off each week.

Yes, I have a subscription, too. Though if this works as well as the Logic blog subscription it's not much to get excited about. Edit: Oh, and uh, I liked the new blog, too.

Hmm, didn't get a notification this time. Must be because I tried resubscribing to Rtm's blog, that one's cursed, I tell you!

Well it is Rtm's so it probably has some kind of logical ninja curse put on it. That is why you should only subscribe to mine!

I am going to start my series on story next week so make sure to check back then. I just wanted to let you know that the film makers blog is still alive, just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
