Revenant & FrameFocus
Revenant
You ever think about how a single frame can lock a memory in place, even when everything else fades?
FrameFocus
Yeah, a frame is like a tiny time capsule. The angle, the focus, the light all lock in a single slice of reality, and that slice can outlast the rest of the scene. It’s up to the creator to decide what to lock in and what to let slip away. The magic is in that precise moment that refuses to fade.
Revenant
It’s like trapping a wound in glass—keeps the sting alive, but also lets you see it clearly. The trick is deciding which wounds you let hold you.
FrameFocus
Exactly, it’s a double‑edged frame. You capture the hurt so it doesn’t dissolve, but you also freeze it to study and maybe heal. Deciding which wounds to keep in that glass is the real creative choice.
Revenant
Right, it's like picking the ones that still whisper. You can't let everything go. I keep the ones that drive me.
FrameFocus
So you’re keeping the whispering ones that push you forward. That focus can be a compass, but watch it doesn’t turn into a cage.
Revenant
I keep them close, but I’ve learned the walls can close in if I don’t watch the edges. Keep the compass turned toward the horizon, not the shadows.
FrameFocus
Yeah, the edges of a shot are where the line between light and shadow blurs. If you let them creep in without a second look, you’ll get a frame that’s too tight and feels claustrophobic. Keep the horizon line wide and let the background bleed into the frame—just enough to remind you of the bigger picture while still holding those sharp, driving memories in focus.
