“In live-action, writing, production and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap - happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors and the editor, and it makes the writing process a lot more collaborative and a lot less lonely.” WritingRealHappensActionActorsProcessStageDirectorsHappeningsLonelyProductionsDialogueEditorsEditingWriting ProcessAnimationDiscrete Author:Michael Arndt
“There's often rarely any dialogue in a sex scene. With your fellow actor, it's good to talk about what the unspoken dialogue is, that's happening in the scene.

In some ways, that's the most challenging.” WayWellsChallengesAudienceSceneHappeningsDialogueRhythmOperationsPerformingRight TimeFitting Author:Clive Owen
“Each piece of dialogue MUST be "something happening". . .The "amusing" for its OWN sake should above all be censored. . .The functional use of dialogue for the plot must be the first thing in the writer's mind.

“I feel like it had an impact, in that it started the attention that has been paid to what was happening. It started to get us into this whole conversation about prison reform, the whole bipartisan dialogue that's been happening over the past five, six years about this, where you have a Van Jones and a Newt Gingrich, and you have the Rick Perrys and so forth getting up and talking about the need to reform.” NeedsFeelsYearsHas BeensWholePastAttentionTalkingFiveConversationSixHappeningsPaidImpactPrisonDialogueReformVansOver The PastBipartisanNewtsPrison Reform Author:Ava DuVernay
