John Truby : 把大綱變成劇本

大綱寫完後，最艱辛的步驟是，把大綱變成 120 頁的劇本。但這其實不難，重點是要找到「角色變化的曲線」。也就是我所謂的「渴望線」(desire line)。的這個很重要，它就像劇本的脊椎一樣，整個故事將掛在這條線上。 「渴望線」是 :「你主角想要的東西」。角色從 A 到 B 追求的目標，這也是我們俗稱的「線性故事」(linear story)。不管你是哪個種族、或國籍的人，都會很好了解，因為它本質就是「一個人追求成功的故事」。 關於「渴望線」有三個重點: 1. 「渴望線」越「具體」越好。觀眾要很清楚知道主角達成目標了沒。 2. 「渴望線」要從「頭」走到「尾」，不能在「中間」停。故事在「中間」結束，新的故事必須從「中間」開始。不建議一個片子有兩個故事。 3. 「渴望線」不是主角「生活」中想要的東西，而是主角在「這個故事」中想要的東西。「搶救雷恩大兵」的故事發生在二戰，那時誰不想回家。但主角的「渴望線」不是「想回家」，而是「搶救雷恩大兵」。 關於「渴望線」的最後一點，主角必須要「非常想要」這個目標，幾乎到「癡狂」的境界。為什麼? 主角沒有:「非常想要」，觀眾就:「不會在乎」。

[vfx] work notes 3

Flicker Expression If you want to generate a curve with random values between 2 and 8 with a (low) frequency of 1 peak every 5 frames this is the formula: (random(1,frame*0.2)*6)+2 (random(seed,frame*frequency)*amplitude)+valueOffset If you want a curve containing random values between 0 and 1. (random(1,frame*1)*1)+0 simplified version : random(1,frame) Break it up rooftop bricks :  break it up, some big, some small, less straight line, slight color variation fx expanding spell :  don't expand like a circle, break it up, more starfish like, more organic fx spell trail dissipation :  use wind to break up the straight line trail walls :  add dirt, add moss, don't be too clean heat haze :  break it up, some small, some big, some have some holes Framehold alembic how to framehold anim/cfx crowd alembic file? asset objects > load options tab > frame parameter default it $FF (frame number by default) clamp it by doing : clamp($FF, 1120, 1251) ie: clamp(val, min...
