Firstly, writing comedy is hard! Because it is so hard, I really have an appreciation for good quality comedy writers and writing (e.g., "Frasier", "The Big Bang Theory", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Sanford and Son", etc.). I wanted a one minute test clip to learn what it's all about. "1978" was my first attempt at writing comedy. I hope that Plotagon fixes this issue soon.
In "The Froug Gideon Code" project, I noted two Plotagon bugs:ġ) Sometimes the text plates get scrambled after rendering.Ģ) Sometimes the SFX do not get rendered at all.Ī work around for both these issues is to exit your project and re-enter it again before re-rendering. I also purchased all of the US English voices and I plan to add a couple more UK voices in the future. But, thankfully, there are many more to choose from. For some reason, some of the female voices are crap. If you will be using the Acapela Group voices (like I do), it is important to understand that some voices are unusable due to the poor quality of their sound and pronunciation. In addition, I purchased the 2 pack UK voices. It is easy to get caught up in the technology rather than on the story itself.Īfter purchasing the "Golden Ticket" scene and character bundle, I was impressed with all the scenes, character creation options, and costumes (if you are a serious story teller, purchase the Golden Ticket). When you have less "bells and whistles", you have less distractions that can pull you away from the story. You would think that limitations are always a bad thing, not so. I do have experience working with other 3D animation applications (namely, MovieStorm), but Plotagon is truly amazing in its simplicity and limitations (and no, I am not a paid Plotagon spokesperson). I can work anywhere and I was up and running in only a few minutes. Firstly, it is a true joy to work on my iPad with the Plotagon Story app. For my first project, I wanted a simple drama with a little suspense to get use to the Plotagton work flow.

The Froug Gideon Code was my first Plotagon Story experiment and learning project.
The iPad tools that I use to create my visual stories:ġ) The Plotagon Story iPad App (as of this writing, Plotagon Story version 1.32.1).Ģ) The Acapela Voices available within Plotagon.ģ) iMovie for final editing and rendering.Ĥ) The Videorama app (for future SFX use - fire, explosions, etc.). This website includes my Plotagon Story projects and production notes so that others may benefit from my mistakes, experience, and learning. One of the best tools for online story telling and production is Plotagon Story (best for drama, adventure, sci-fi, and comedy).
