Maxim & ShotZero
Hey ShotZero, ever wonder how you could keep a big vision in mind without getting stuck in the middle of a montage that never ends? Maybe we can figure out a way to plan the chaos—like a tactical outline that still lets you remix on the fly.
I hate outlines, but a sketch of beats keeps me from tripping in a mid‑cut. Think of it like a broken map: write a few anchor points, then just smash through, let the montage bleed into whatever. Keep a spare reel of ideas and remix on the fly.
Sounds solid, just keep that anchor list tight—no fluff, just the key moments. Then you can cut, blend, and improvise without losing the core. If a fresh idea pops up, stash it in the spare reel and test it in the mix. That’s how you stay on point and still let the creative flow.
That’s the sweet spot—tight anchors, open chaos. Grab the core, let the rest melt into the montage. When something new clicks, drop it into the spare reel, re‑sync, and watch the narrative wobble into something fresh. Keeps the vision alive but never linear.
Sounds like a plan—tight anchors keep you grounded, and the chaos lets you explore. Just keep a quick reference for those anchors; if they slip, the whole cut can drift. Trust your gut when you splice, and keep that spare reel ready.
Exactly, anchors are the handrail, chaos is the free‑fall. Keep the list short, keep the spare reel humming, and trust the gut when the cut starts to wobble. That’s the only way to keep the vision breathing.
Nice rhythm—anchors steady, chaos free. Keep the list razor‑short, the spare reel humming, and let instinct guide the edits. That’s how a vision stays alive.
