the sad thing is i’ve seen many shorts that have several of these elements that combine like voltron to form into a super awful short film. don’t do it.
true. true.
i am happy to say that so far i have included none of these insidious faux pas in my short films. so it was oddly encouraging to read.
btw, great site!
i committed one of these short film sins by making my main character in this short an artist, but he’s not a tortured artist, so i think it might be ok.
