I have these images stuck in my head of a washed out movie of my grandmother in my parent’s back yard.  She looks nothing like I remember her in real life.  In these images, she has yet to develop much of what I would later call her “squishy skin” – the skin that hung from the bottom side of her arm that I loved to touch and watch wiggle back and forth.  Her hair had yet to grey, and she is wearing sunglasses – something I can’t picture from my …

Suspension of Disbelief is a result of poor execution. In story, I don’t want people to suspend their skepticism or turn off their critical thinking. I want participants to believe that people are real and places exist. The only time suspension of disbelief is necessary is when the hands of the real world can be seen – whether it be poor dialogue or forced action or cartoonish CG. A story is told well when the recipient is invited to believe without distraction.
