Post-Impressionists continued using vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brushstrokes and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colour. The Impressionist Camille Pissarro experimented with Neo-Impressionist ideas between the mid 1880s and the early 1890s. Discontented with what he referred to as "romantic Impressionism," he investigated Pointillism which he called "scientific Impressionism" before returning to a purer Impressionism in the last decade of his life. The Post-Impressionists were dissatisfied with the triviality of subject matter and the loss of structure in Impressionist paintings, though they did not agree on the way forward. Georges Seurat and his followers concerned themselves with Pointillism, the systematic use of tiny dots of colour. Paul Cézanne set out to restore a sense of order and structure to painting. He achieved this by reducing objects to their basic shapes while retaining the bright fresh colours of Impressionism. Vincent van Gogh used colour and vibrant swirling brush strokes to convey his feelings and his state of mind. Although they often exhibited together, Post-Impressionist artists were not in agreement concerning a cohesive movement. Younger painters during the 1890s and early 20th century worked in geographically disparate regions and in various stylistic categories, such as Fauvism and Cubism. === Post Impressionism as an approach to reality provides an added artistic texture and layer to your material.  Imagine a material that uses the suspense genre layered by a post impressionist sense and sensibility.  How about a romance-comedy or a fantasy/romance?   So never forget to determine your approach to reality when you create a material.  =========   IRISH PATATAS ENTERTAINMENT   IRISH PATATAS ENTERTAINMENT is a team of independent digital movie producers composed of  Melchor Escarcha, an animation specialist, and J.Lauro Caiña, a freelance fiction and scriptwriter.   Melchor spearheaded development and execution of animated foreign short in the web under Broadlines Animations, Inc.

Thus,  edit means  reducing the  the number  of  sub-characters and sub-stories. Revise refers to re-constructing the main characters and the main stories. When you do this, the sub-stories and the sub-characters are adjusted in terms of the changes in the main characters or the main stories.  Again, the plot remains the same but the over-all character and main story structures are altered. Rewrite is a major one, in my point of view, because it changes the plot of the material yet the content of the material (characters and stories)  remains the same.   Movie Peg... is the the immediate solution when movie studios reach the static end of creativity.  The search for an easy way out is always the desired solution.  A rumor once circulated that a big movie studio in the Philippines collected several short stories with the hope of putting the said stories together in order to come up with projects for the creative pipeline. Movie Peg is a neutral device. In fact, it has the potential of developing skills in terms of upgrading the abiltiy to construct well-crafted stories and detailed- 3/dimensional characters within the context of genuine innovation.  This means, one must be well-versed with the art of material deconstruction and unit development and management. But the problem arises when innovation begins to disintegrate in the midst of wholesale plagiarism by desperate creative teams. Changing the gender of a character or changing the atmoshpere of  a story does change the over-all physical and emotional narrative lines of an outline.   Cosmetic changes are not structural or substantial innovations.  These are blatant act of plagiarism.     Scriptwriting Tutorial : Southeast Asian Thriller Intermediate Material and Screenplay Development & Management Constructing A Southeast Asian Thriller Digital Movie Application - Narrative (Short/Short Feature/Feature) CreativeTutorial  starts February 2009 . limited slots / controlled group register through this number 09215081060 Parameters of the Workshop: 1.
