Sorry, I think that my original post was a little vague (I?m new with these forums). You know that strange area where a nuts and bolts approach crashes into artistic interpretation? I?m curious about people?s individual process. When receiving a script, how is it that you approach the story and begin developing the elements and formulate ideas when approaching the given material? How do you begin to conceptualize framing, emulsions, composition, lens choices, camera work, etc?? I?m sure some people are very intuitive and others might have a developed technique and refined process to the way break down a story and find what works for them?. This is a very general and broad question and I would love to hear about even small details that you find important to your process.

I have been thinking about the idea of visual storytelling and the marriage between the intellectual ideas/technique and the emotional/ intuitive aspect of creating story through imagery. I am wondering what approaches and processes some of the other storytellers here use when trying to find a visual language when working on a story.

When dealing with natural elements, smoke, fire, water, don?t really hold up when employing them in miniature environment that is less then 6th scale. A friend of mine while working on the titanic miniatures said that this was the case and they stuck to it.
