One Winter's Morn

A soft

Billowy sound

Moves the pines

Where suspended

Icicles

Sway a tinkling 

Merry tune,

As a steady

Falling

Soft

Mushy

Cold glaze

Smothers the forest.

Shut Up and Admire the Art

Criticism: the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.

this is important in analyzing art to see what's significant or insignificant by our own opinions and to question 

why this is? For this reason there is such articles discussing such merits, even i have written some criticism 

to write  my thoughts on certain matters but though all of this  is good and necessary i worry that people do 

not take a moment to just look at art and let it speak for itself. rather i fear it is being studied like a 

meticulous math equation. For this reason i shall now put some art after this post to look at and see 

what it says of itself,  i hope you do the same.

Bad Zombie Story Ideas

As i was watching some zombie show the other day i spotted some serious issues in the story as well as poor use of  logic. so i decided to write about these poor choices here.

                Isolationism

First off, in a lot of these zombie stories, is the constant distrust of human beings, especially when you first meet, as well as fighting among humans,and only trusting a core group. if there ever was a zombie apocalypse, doing this would be as logical as letting zombies roam free while shooting every human being on sight. as Abraham Lincoln once said "A house divided against itself cannot stand." in proof look at the history of the Native Americans. yes for the most part,what happened was white mans fault, but if all tribes united to kick out white man say before the french and Indian war or during. history would be a whole another story but they stayed divided, different tribes fought different sides of the war and you know what happened after. point is, if you stay an isolationist in this zombie world your already dead. what should have been written is someone, group, or form of government uniting all the people to fight off this zombie threat. 


                  Gun Propaganda 

Speaking of forms of government there is another issue that happens a lot in these narratives. finding a community taking peoples guns to keep things safe only to be proven wrong by our newly arrived main characters or having zombies invade the place. two words, Zombie Apocalypse why in hell would any community do something like this, your at war with a brainless dead plague and your getting rid of a large army for a small security team (that sounds like the sort of logic are troops should use in battle. THE LAST SENTENCE YOU READ WAS SARCASM) point is they need every armed person they can get and they shouldn't distrust anyone unless there a stupid criminal choosing to still do bad deeds but that's a rare exception and anyways if you point out how this criminal needs to work together with everyone for s(he)'s own survival.  they'll help and you'll only need someone to watch over s(he). point is, this kind of story doesn't need to deal with this political issue.and if they still chose to do it they need to execute it in a non preachy way having both points of view on the issue seem to be right.


zombies are the threat not humans in this kind of narrative. i get that you need to have tension from your main characters but  you can do that in other ways that are more believable and without personal agendas. Have someone get scared and let fear lead them to do something stupid or in a fight let someone get shell shock, that i can believe it feels authentic.

How I Review Drama

Hello once again to the few readers of my blog, as you read from this tittle you know what i am typing about so lets begin with a definition of drama.

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. a genre or style of literature.
4. 
   
5. 
   
6. 
   
7. an exciting, emotional, or unexpected series of events or set of circumstances.

Now here's my view on this, out of all the genres of fiction drama (when done right) is the most like real life thus it smacks of reality.

so imagine someone beating you up

This might seem odd but if your really alive chances are you got hurt over something. All the best writers of drama wrote at least somewhat of tragic events in there lives like losing a loved one. this is where drama can be its most potent.

so this is how i differ good drama from bad.

BAD DRAMA PUMMELS

in other words it keeps bombarding you with one dastardly dramatic event after another non stop. if this goes on to far the piece becomes entirely unbelievable after all theirs always some good that occurs in life even under trying circumstances.

GOOD DRAMA IS A ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT

This is best used when focusing on a single dramatic point. setting it up subtlety into a steadily rising action building to a climax that brings the whole point of the drama to light.

Well there you have it i hope this blogs been to your liking and makes sense.

A Poem

In my last blog i made an adaption of sorts so i figured i'd make something original this time. I'm sure its not my best work but i'll give it a shot

ideas are sown
in the mind
forming words
in a womb
of thought
shaping
into reality,
you push
for release
PUSH!!!
at last
it's free
to roam
the world.

Well I hope you enjoy this whoever might be reading.

Bring Back Hand Drawn Animation, America!

Now i know hand drawn animation isn't dead technically, its still going on in Japan, France and other foreign countries. (which is good) But for America who has done so much for this form in film just to abandon it is absurd. There hasn't been an hand drawn animated movie since

in 2011

Now i know many of you are thinking but we have CGI animation now. to that thought i say your right, lets just get rid of all nonfiction because we have fantasy. (that's sarcasm by the way) Both mediums (if i am not mistaken these two have had a few little article feuds on the web) are as opposite as peas and skyscrapers. wait I'm getting ahead of myself I'll get back to this argument in a minute.
another thought, oh i see the TV still has hand drawn animation comment. well, i would be okay with that if there was more than a few good hand drawn animation series's like Marvels The Avengers or

most of the style of animation today is

decent but crude style of animation like

and shitty throw up animation

and is this, so far off from this

its not even the crude humor that bothers me but television's refusal to allow more diversity in the animation and story.
now getting back to the CGI comment I think the best way to discuss this is with STAR WARS?

 Yes, Star Wars from the the prequels I'm afraid they have caused much dismay among fans with good reason but if there is one good thing that came from them is Star Wars Clone Wars and Star Wars The Clone Wars because we get to see the same story executed from hand drawn and cgi animation to truly analyze the differences of these animations. so here are two clips on this same story all i want you to do (if you've even read this far) is to analyze each clip and tell me there strengths and weaknesses

and

well by my analysis i have come to this conclusion.

Clone Wars: Has more swift motion of the body and can exaggerate it to impossible degrees. Grievous in one move is fighting with not only two hands carrying light sabers but also a foot carrying a light saber while only standing on one foot writing that down seems silly but for the animations visuals its execution made him intimidating and bad-ass. a feet CGI animation can never do.

The Clone Wars: The bodies move more stiffly but are more realistic, the visuals of the spaceship battle are quite gripping but they almost look like a live action film. because of the bodies limitation the light saber battle is short and insignificant.

I say this not to bash CGI animation after all they've had some great films like Wreck It Ralph and Walle
but after much consideration i have discovered both mediums strengths and weaknesses.

CGI animations limitation is fantasy
hand drawn animations limitation is reality
the opposite is there strength.

now before you try pointing out CGI animation fantasies consider
is this                                                                                            grander than this?

Intro and Audio Drama?

                              Intro and Audio Drama?

This blogging's new for me so if i seem out of place you know why. I know i should know what a blog is by now considering how long blogs have been around but i'm generally out of the loop on things. i guess what i'll type on here is just random stuff, if that makes sense. so let me begin...

by giving a very brief history on audio dramas. whats that? (random voice in my head asks? don't worry i'm not that kind of crazy, if that makes sense.)  oh no you said audio books that is not what i'm discussing. what is an audio drama? well to answer that we'd have to go back before pinterest, you tube, texting, the internet, cellphones and even television.( i'm sure you stop reading by now.) where the only entertainment  at home was books and a device in ancient days know as a 

  radio 

1. 

   1.

   the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves of radio frequency, especially those carrying sound messages.
2.  
3.  this device didn't just play music and talk shows like the very few of you that might remember this contraption in its evolved form. nay, they had what they called back then Radio Theater. They had shows of all types from westerns to scifi and everything else.
4. 
   
5. radio theater started  in the mid late 1920's and lasted all the way till television murdered it, although not entirely.  strangely enough the internet has been a help on creating new audio production sites for example

  http://www.pendantaudio.com/  ,   http://brokensea.com/ , http://www.gypsyaudio.org/  , http://misfitsaudio.com   , and http://www.bigfinish.com/

not to mention places you could find the classics like
 http://www.oldradioworld.com , and http://www.otr.net

theirs even tons of fan audio dramas from shows like doctor who for an example

http://illusionistproductions.blogspot.com

believe me when i type that most fan audios are actually better than most fan fiction (no offense fanficers)

so if your wasting time listening to someone read a book, why not listen to a whole cast act it out for you with sound effects and an orchestra?
