Thinking About Writing
Simplicity vs Complexity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's time for some simple and complex thinking about the qualities of simplicity and complexity. These are qualities which many would consider desirable in a script, but some might think are negative. We'll consider how a mix of the two can create great scripts, and applying them to concepts, stories and characters can ensure depth and dimensions, but also clarity and comprehension.
And it's a pretty short episode as it was the middle of a heatwave when Robin recorded it and he melted halfway through. So that's nice.
