Cobra & Teryn
Teryn, have you ever noticed how the rhythm of a kata can mirror the pacing of a scene you direct?
I’ve noticed that, when a kata flows, it feels like a scene’s heartbeat. Every move becomes a beat, a rhythm you can read.
Exactly, when a kata flows it’s like a steady pulse that drives the whole scene. Keep that rhythm in mind and your story will feel alive and powerful.
Sounds like a perfect mantra—keep that pulse, and the whole frame will breathe.Sounds like a perfect mantra—keep that pulse, and the whole frame will breathe.
Remember, breath is the core of the beat—control it, and the frame will move with your will. Keep the pulse steady, and every scene will resonate.
Indeed, breath is the invisible hand that steers the frame, and I keep its pulse steady so the scene can breathe on its own. The silence between beats can speak louder than the action, if you let it.
Good, keep that rhythm tight. Let the silence sharpen the focus, but always stay ready to strike when the beat drops.
