So, if that's what the idea calls for, then that's how It comes out. <br /><br />More often then not though, it's normally a moment in time that try's to capture the emotions behind the scene, so I would say it's more of the situation they find them self's in that drives my story's.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278508284141041193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-81501501728703023552011-10-14T10:00:15.991-04:002011-10-14T10:00:15.991-04:00@ Simone
I agree with you, but I was looking to s...@ Simone<br /><br />I agree with you, but I was looking to see if there is a "tipping point" where too much or not enough of either .. would make someone hate the caption.<br /><br />I guess I could liken it to "CSI" vs "Columbo" where one is VERY procedural and the other sort of meanders around the crime .. they both reach the same conclusion, but its how they get there. The same goes for TG captions. <br /><br />@ Caitlyn<br /><br />I just saw what you mean in the latest posting on your blog. When doing concise, moment-in-time captions .. the economy of words means that whichever words ARE there should be vibrant and as descriptive as possible. Not everyone has the vocabulary to make that work. You (and Simone as well) can handle that challenge.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-56257766218548703942011-10-13T16:59:33.598-04:002011-10-13T16:59:33.598-04:00This question purely depends on what's require...This question purely depends on what's required. I'm very much a "it's done when it's done" type when I write a caption so if the story needs to be a moment in time, than that's fine. If the story best requires a longer arc, than I'll go with it. <br />I think length also plays a part in it. Moments in time are excellent for single panel captions when you want to caption a feeling, emotion or crystallize a raw energy. I believe deeper explorations of a TG journey are better served by multi-pannel "stories with image" type captions. It really comes down to space/design at that point.<br />As for it being a major theme or sub-plot, it also depends on what the story calls for. I suppose if I'm making it purely to make it, I prefer it to be necessary but not so much the BIG THEME. If it's for someone else, that all depends on what their preferences call for.Mistress Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830472323307586514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-87267047931557678562011-10-13T16:33:44.769-04:002011-10-13T16:33:44.769-04:00I'm going through my own change right now. Pl...I'm going through my own change right now. Playing with story idea, as well as designs. The main thing 'story wise' that I'm working on is moving from the 'fantastic, life-changing, complete center of the whole thing' story, to the 'moment in time' story. First, I'm doing that so that if I want to focus on the design, I can be more flexible with the story. If I need to cut some out... no problem. If I need to add a few more lines... no problem. But I've always admired these 'moment in time' caps, as I could fill in all the juicy details myself. <br /><br />Right now I'm only putting minimal effort into the stories. I think if I put just a little more effort into them, I can succeed at them. As to percentage of change to story... I think there is room for all varieties. I love many caps that are completely centered around the change, both mentally and physically. I also like ones where it is almost a detail that could be left out. An 'oh by the way, she used to be man too' kind of way.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
