Wow! I'd searched for three act structure and reached here. Simply amazing!

I've spent three days poring over notebooks, typing up outlines, and fighting with my babies to stop taking post-its off my whiteboard, and finally found this little gem! Thank you for making my day (at 2am), I really appreciated the giggle!

Hey it's me in sept 2024 I search 3 act structure, and I'm so glad. to have found this video. Storytelling is such a wonderful thing... that I suck at, and wish to improve on. this was a great visual aid and lesson in both screenwriting and cinematography (Wes Anderson's style is how I wish to film and block my first short film). Thanks again so much!

Hi there!

This is an amazing video and amazing concept. I read a comment that you wanted to make more videos in 2024. Please do.

I’ve been planning to make videos for years now and I kept finding excuses to not do it. I finally made a promise to seriously start this year and I’m still very anxious to begin.

But I should just start. And so should you.

I love your hate for Verne, I mean the dude ate an entire onion!

Whenever you think a movie is boring, think of “mise en scene.” Every prop that is placed into a scene is for a reason.

I"m doing a 3 act story structure, and I have a hard time with having too many ideas. This helped simplify things for me.

1:17 is it a Home Alone reference? Its Christmas time, the Child has the iconic Kevin pose and the picture on the gift looks like the mom character played by Catherine O'Hara.

I can't believe Verne didn't even heat the kettle
