Comicality Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 I absolutely LOVE the John Wick movies!!! Easily one of my favorite top five franchises of ALL TIME!!! Four movies, and every single one of them is SICK!!! Well, a short 3-part miniseries (and prequel) to John Wick is coming out next weekend...and I'm literally quaking with excitement! I mean, an entire hotel inhabited by top notch assassins??? How can you go wrong? Omigod, it's gonna be so cool! I can already tell! XD Whenever I'm writing action scenes for "Gone From Daylight" or something, THIS is what is playing out in my head! But I can't, like...WRITE it! I can't capture the speed and intensity the way that I want to! But I'll get there eventually! Practice, practice, practice! 2

I can ‘see’ how Justin is moving and how incredibly agile and fast his fights are. Don’t sell yourself short, Comsie! ♥️ 2
Shadow086 Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Like @MrM said, don't sell yourself short. There's nothing wrong with your action scenes, and honestly, I like yours better, because I can slow down and 'replay' them as often as I like until I get it right, instead of just watching a blur of images and sounds and not having a clue what's going on. It's hard to compete with movies and TV when it comes to that stuff, because they can just add intense music and a bunch of 'speed noises' to make their action scenes feel faster and more intense. 2
MrM Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 LOL @Shadow086, I even found some ‘Action’ music for the fight in the IceZone. I put it with my GFD soundtrack I made for Comsie a few years ago. Hehehe! 1
Comicality Posted September 17, 2023 Author Posted September 17, 2023 Maybe my expectations are a bit high. But I seriously want to get those parts right, you know? 1

And I think you do. To me it's about approaching different media with different expectations. If I'm reading a book or a story I'm expecting to have to make up my own sounds and imagery in my head, even if it ends up not being 100% the same as what you had in mind. To me it's part of the fun. 1
