Happy audio drama Sunday, friends! This week's new podcast episodes brought the return of @souloperatorpod, a nightmarish series of events in @midstpodcast's UNEND, and some exciting revelations in Windfall!

Pitch Deck, Day 3

Short one today. Very tired. Mostly website stuff to facilitate navigation.

Follow along on the Heartglass Website.

I added previous versions.

I added a means to view those previous versions, via keyboard navigation.

I remembered phones exist about an hour ago, and furiously scraped together a swipe version of that same navigation.

Cried a little.

Deployed the site, with a few minor changes.

Change 1 - The "Hook" page

It's a little different. You can see the show title again. The cowfolk duderino is green, like money. I like this better, I think. Maybe? Whatever. This one is done, won't be revisiting. Old image below for reference (also, check it out on the website, I put so much damn work into this thing today, I'm begging).

Change 2 - The first character page

This time, I'm gonna start with what it looked like when I ended yesterday, because it was garbage.

(above, yesterday's version, busy mess)

(below, today's version, not perfect but leagues better)

I'm just going to list these changes and not soliloquize because I need to sleep. Doctor's appointments tomorrow and all that.

Ashleigh's headshot takes prominence. I cast people that are representatives of their characters, and this is primarily an AD anyways. Tessa's still there as a reference, but I desaturated her to keep the focus on our already cast actor.

The scratched out backing to the text. It was bad. Just looked like garbage. The new one is giving me a little 90s "Saved By The Bell" vibes, but I don't care. It looks good. Eff it.

I highlighted elements that I think mattered more, like the fact this is a lead character.

I massively reduced the amount of text on the page. The whole point is that people can read through these quick.

Alright. Until tomorrow. See you then!

@heartsglass - ❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜ - Childe&lumine \ &. 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞

( 🌙 ) THE PRINCESS SCOFFS as a leg moved to cross against her knee, leaning forward as her expression sat serious 'pon her face. he was playing games but she, for one, was not. jealousy was not something she would place on this situation whatsoever - perhaps A LITTLE FRUSTRATED.

❝ NO, I'M NOT. but i have a futile request that you behave while in fontaine. i'd rather not set the resident harbinger of fontaine to force your return with your tail BETWEEN YOUR LEGS. ❞ or worse, she thinks, shaking her head as gloved fingers slide away from her cheek as she stands, descending the steps of the throne within THE EXPANSIVE ROOM

SHE CROSSES THE space between the two of them, standing before the taller harbinger. she knows what she is asking of him, asking him to go against his nature and desire for combat. her hand reaches forth to rest 'gainst his cheek, usually stern gaze falling to ONE RATHER SOFT.

❝ AJAX, PLEASE. I'LL make it up to you the next time a mission arises. find you the most difficult task - sound reasonable ? ❞

[fishyupmywishy]

That’s true love right there I fail to see what’s wrong this

Also can we make heartglass their ship name? Pretty please?

Red in the car on the way to Auradon Prep: I want to experience love! I don't believe what my mom says about love. I want to feel it for myself!

Red as soon as she gets to Auradon Prep and receives positive attention for two seconds: You should come sometime; I'll introduce you to the Jabberwocky!

It's time for another update to the pitch deck. Strap in. We have some reworks, and a couple new pages. I'm gonna be a little brief this evening as I am exhausted. Lotta work doing a 9-5 and then coming home to do this.

Worth it, though. Art is its own reward.

Today, I fixed an issue I found with the mobile landscape version of the pitch deck that was making it non-navigable due to the video overlapping it. That was a copy-paste error on my part, and easy enough to solve (thankfully).

Alright, without further ado, let's look at the new additions:

This, my friends, is (unsurprisingly) called a show cross. You ideally want to pick two or three shows that you could point to as short hand. This is useful to evoke certain experiences people have had with the referenced work, and to capture some of the key elements your show that may have commonalities with it.

In this case, I chose:

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once One, because this film drops its viewers straight into the story without bothering with overly long exposition. It gets there, but it earns it by first making the viewer experience the film as the protagonist does. When the protagonist gets explanation, so do we. Two, this film allows serious subject matter to often be punctuated by absurd comedy. Heartglass features a whole story arc that involves three people in hell living and working inside one of Hell's many ice cream shops. Time is told by the spinning of a shovel, and they're haunted by the Specter of Kommunism. It's never juvenile, but it is weird and silly at times. Three—and most importantly—this is the most recent and popular form of Weird Fiction that isn't specifically horror. Horror itself is its own brand of Weird Fiction, but that's a whole 'nother set of posts to get into that. It's important that pieces you choose for a show cross are first and foremost relatable to a wide audience. These are touchstones for the rest of your story.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly This is a set piece that helped solidify gritty revenge westerns. Heartglass borrows some of the sensibilities of the film. One, its protagonists are in groups of three, specifically because of the interplay being dynamic and more interesting with multi-layered interpersonal jabbing versus a back and forth. Often, when two of your characters are interacting, a third allows you to interject and move a scene along. I'm getting into a tangent here, but this movie is a great example of the power of using a trio of subjects. Alexandre Dumas probably did this best, but again, you want to use immediately relatable media. Heartglass also borrows a lot of western sensibilities, even if it's not a true western. It embraces a search for a wild freedom, and its themes involve rebelling against a system that is rapidly sanitizing the messiness that makes things interesting.

The Neverending Story I won't get into the very spoiler-ish reasons this fits—as some of you reading this will hopefully listen to the show—but the overall spirit of this movie is one of big, resonant emotions packaged in a story aimed squarely at fans of fiction. It's self-aware, fantastical, and has a meatiness to the storytelling that sticks to you. I first saw this movie when I was 5 years old and I've loved it ever since. It holds up to rewatching, because again—while it may deal with silly and absurd subject matter at times, it accepts it at face value and doesn't try to make self-conscious jokes about it.

Okay, up next, the very beginning of the character section:

There are going to be quite a few of these. Normally I would condense these into multiple per page, and the last time I did a pitch deck I did exactly that. I had no choice with that pitch deck, however, as it would've been 30 pages long if I hadn't.

Seriously. The Dope Show is going to have a massive cast. Check it out when it comes out.

There's not a whole lot to say about these that isn't on the page. You want an exhaustive explanation of the character and their motivations. Include larger spaces that you can quick glance at.

Looking at it now, I've done a horrible job at that on my first pass. This one will almost certainly have a rework in tomorrow's update for that very reason. But, you can get the overall sense of it.

I am lucky enough to already be in production for this show—the extended first-look trailer is available on my feed. If you are too, then you'll want to highlight the actors you've cast. In this case, we're starting with the inimitable Ashleigh Morghan, who has a number of TV and video game credits to her name.

You'll notice that Tessa Thompson appears on the page too. Including a visual like this is just another short-hand for your character. Maya's got some spice to her, just like Tessa Thompson's character from Sorry For Bothering You. Choose images that you can use in a "look book" fashion so that someone thumbing through can get a sense of who the character is without investing the time to actually read the words.

Overall, typography and color palette on this page still need some work. As well as getting that information condensed down, because it's just too much right now. Like I said, I'm exhausted and I knew I was still coming to write this afterwards, so this is what I have right now.

And finally, a reworked second page of the Pitch Deck

The color palette on this was bothering me. The green glass wasn't reading as green glass, and it just didn't fit the mood of the rest of the pitch deck. It's still not perfect. The title text is still trying to do too much, and I may just axe it in favor of calling it what it is—a hook page. If I really want to keep the "Everybody has/is a story" wordplay, it probably belongs in the section with the hook.

That said, this is much closer to the overall feel of the rest of the pitch deck, and I'm much happier with it in general.

Alright! That's it for updates this time around. As always, you can follow along and navigate the entire pitch deck yourself on the website. Until next time!

@heartsglass - ❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ - lumine&abyss!lumine \ &. 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞

( 🌙 ) ❝ YOU MADE A bad judgement, ❞ arms remain crossed as her gaze flicks to three foot soldiers with a stern enough gaze that it sent them scurrying away, and out the room entirely. WHAT A MESS this was.

CLAWED FINGERTIPS SNAP, releasing the cuffs that connected lumine's hands to the floor. one who's wings had been cut now able to fly away if she fit herself to do so. ❝ I'M NOT AS much a monster the WAY YOUR EYES express such. relax. ❞

Nose, cheek, waist, wrist, chin - Goku :3c

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @heartglass

Nose: “You’re so cute.”

Cheek: “I want to tell you I love you.”/Deep affection/Devotion

Waist: Possessiveness/“You are mine.”

Wrist: Fear of losing you

Chin: Beauty/attractiveness

She goes over the list and giggles a little bit to herself. "I'm cute, and beautiful." Fair, she can agree to that. "I'm not really, but thank you." The classic Japanese modesty is kicking in. "I'm yours and you want to tell me you love me, and you fear losing me." She finds it a little funny that the option for 'I love you' is missing from the list.

True enough, it does say he wants to tell her, but it doesn't mean that he will. It's a little funny that he won't say that he loves her but he has no problem with admitting that he feels possessive over her. She is curious about what he means by fearing losing her. In what way?

[As tradition for how I always do these memes, Haru will always return the favor, but I also always do these ic]

She looks over the list again, and she looks at Gokudera and boops him on the nose (you're cute), "Especially when you blush." Her cups his cheek with her palm (Deep affection/"I want to tell you I love you") and her fingertips trail to his chin (Beauty/attractiveness).

A small head tilt as one had touches his shoulder and the other holds his wrist at the same time. "Surely you can connect two of them at the same time. I worry about you and I fear losing you." Thinking it over, she lifts her leg to lightly tap his knee ("Don't worry, i'm here for you"). "Closest option Haru has to, Haru's not going anywhere so don't worry~"

"If i'm yours, then you're mine." Fair is fair, and Haru doesn't share! Oh, that rhymed! She puts a hand to his waist and she put smiles before she kisses his chest, right above where his heart should be (I love you). "Haru isn't too shy to say it."
