Very smushy, but the story is filled with so much flavour. Seeing less fuels the imagination to upscales and fills in the gaps. Seeing the monster is never as scary as not seeing it.
Go back and listen to Radio Plays, they knew how to tell/sell a story, An obvious example was Orson Welles in 1938 WOTW play. Today's story tellers have fallen asleep at the wheel and let technology take them for a ride.
I believe the average enthusiast has been kept out on purpose. Its the same in every field. The vanguard don't want upstarts with fancy ideas to challenge dogma. A novice can't tell a director of photography how to shoot and light a scene because he doesn't have the credentials. Regardless of the vision and imagination they posses.
Its always the confidence and lack of that stops us before we have even begun in life. "Who am I? I can't say this, or do that." "What if I get laughed at" I don't want to be humiliated"
I see people on X-Factor and in the face of a thousand boo's and three red X's , they still smile and believe in themselves. Bravo you crazy unique tuneless git, you have something 99% of people will never have. An indomitable confidence that no matter how unjustified is yours.
You don't need professional technology which is a band aid for the ego, a misdirection and game we are taught to play as children. We need an honest tone of voice and a story to tell. Would we laugh at Van Gogh Starry Night in comparison to Leonardo da Vinci Mona Lisa? For me Van Gogh was an artist first and technician last. Never believe that a good story needs a loud, professional voice, it does not. When you strike the right note a whisper will do.
