Lots of us still say "real radios glow in the dark" but really, the modern stuff works so much better.<br />Capt.

Still, modern TV and movie audiences will not stand still for any length of time during which the story is not moved forward. Some people think this is about a short attention span, but over my career I have watched the shows I worked on very carefully, and I believe these people are wrong. As time has gone on, audiences are more and more sensitive to story dynamics, and consequently less tolerant of what are, essentially, obstacles in the way of the story. That is why, I think, it is virtually impossible to sell a musical any more: the time spent singing just wastes an opportunity to tell the story. The same is true with other interruptions in the story flow; and this is a key example.

I buy the great majority of what you have...Captain,<br />I buy the great majority of what you have to say, but the thing about the radios not warming up is because you can't just have people doing nothing on screen for thirty seconds. I've spent a career in film and TV production, and I can tell you that you just can't waste that much time and expect people not to lose some of the narrative tension.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.com
