It's a completely nontraditional style that has the surprising result of allowing you to see the film in your head shot for shot.SCRIPTMONK!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13911675482380489540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859940184293909528.post-87476196500681938022009-08-28T09:07:45.893-07:002009-08-28T09:07:45.893-07:00cool, i've always been stumped by how much dis...cool, i've always been stumped by how much discription of fights you should put on the page.
