Sense of Humour

I love stories that has humour in it. Stories that are all serious and intense are sometimes great, but most of the time are tiring to watch. And even though I like humour, I don't mean overacting crazy comedy actions, I mean something more like a small funny action, or even just a line, that randomly in between stories and tickles your bone. Like how in the movie Avengers Thor quickly says Loki is adopted after Black Widow accused Loki for mass murder.

Humour in between stories are great, they're funny and interesting, and most of the time act as a relaxing substance, let you have some room to breathe in between the intensive scenes. One of my favourite artists stjepan sejic, also known as nebezial in DeviantArt. I especially like how he uses jokes in his artworks and comic. His works reminded my of myself when I was younger as I too always like to put jokes in my comic, some of my jokes are pretty bad though. Hahaha!

Space, Universe, e.g.

Space, probably one of most used materials for virtual worlds.

There's been a lot of games, movies, stories that take place in space. The idea of space's almost been used in every genre and area. It's so common nowadays especially in sci-fi stuffs. Yet, it's still a really popular material for stories. Space games, movies, are still coming out overtime.




I don't mind the space idea, just it's so popular sometimes I feel like some people or company are just abusing the idea. It is pretty impressive though if someone able to put the idea into good use. Creating a story that consist space means you might need to create one or multiple totally different worlds. This requires a lot of brainstorming and creativity. It'd be great if I actually can write some good space story... or just story in general.

Crossover

Always've liked that word. Hahaha!

Crossover stories, meaning putting characters from different fictional world together in a story. Most of them are more like fan arts. I love crossover arts and stories! When you putting different characters from totally different worlds together, it really provokes your imagination! Makes you think about how will the characters react, and even how will their relationship develops! It's taking something that have already existed, and make them into something even more interesting!

Even though there's some crossover things already exist like games and special episodes of tv series or animation, it doesn't always work since most fictional worlds have their own kinda rules that only works for them, but it's always a fun to watch or read~~

A world without sound

Well, not literary without sound. Just a world that no one actually talks.

I like to watch animation shorts that are without dialogues. This kind of animation shorts shows a lot of acting and the animators skills. And then it kinda struck me; A normal guy suddenly got a world that no one speaks.

So no one will speak in this world, then how would any of them communicate with each other? How will the protagonist approach the others to understand this world then. Obviously he can't talk with them because they won't talk back. Can this work? Or just a stupid idea? I have no idea since it's literary a random idea that pop up in my mind. Hahaha!

2D animations

I love animations, that's why I'm studying it right now. Animation is more than just moving pictures, animation brings characters to life, brings beauty onto screen. 2D animation especially amazes me!

2D animation can achieve so much that 3D animation can't. Although I could also say the same the other way around, I still think being able to create a great 2D animation requires more efforts than 3D. It's simply amazing that a world has create through just putting a set of drawn pictures together. Even though they're literary just drawings on papers, yet you really can really feel the emotions, more real than anything. Simply fascinating!

I hope I could make at least 1 masterpiece of 2D animation one day.

Evil evil protagonist

 Despicable Me, Megamind...... These are movies that have a evil protagonist instead of a classic good guy. Though both of them did eventually turn good in the end.




Personally I loved both these movies, they have great stories, great character arc, and some hilarious moments in them. And they both have happy endings.

On the other hand, I'm really curious if there's a protagonist that's total evil throughout the whole movie, how would the story turn out? Obviously there wouldn't be a huge character arc if he's evil all the way, then could a good story arc save a movie like this then? I'm just really interested in what kind of outcome would that be, although I have a feeling that most likely will just be a total comedy movie in the end.

Funny Videos and Animation

Spent some meaningless time on youtube and watching these funny videos. While watching them, I imagined, what if these funny moments are used in animation and being expanded. That would make such great material and at the very least, it's going to be funny! Some of the funny videos even reminded me of some classic cartoon moments. Who knows? Maybe there is some animations that's made using funny videos on the internet as reference! Hahahaha!
