Clickbait title: hack writers hate him! One weird trick to improving your screenplays!

My friend Lindsay recently did a video on this subject looking at Mad Max: Fury Road talking about this same subject (though she uses the term 'planting and payoff'; both are equally valid, though I'll admit that 'planting and payoff' has a wonderful alliterative quality to it versus 'setup and payoff') and I'll admit that I was a bit chapped, like I'd been beaten to the punch on a great idea. But that's the thing: not only was it a great idea it was also an obvious one. Anyone with a trained eye came away from Fury Road blown away by the almost perfect efficiency of the story in managing the establishment and use of every single prop, from the guns planted around the war rig to the steering wheel to the bolt cutters to the boot and the blood and the bullets. It's a really good video and you should go watch it, here's a link: youtube.com/watch?v=PLLGN7zv-3k

$What Is Vsauce? Clickbait title: 10 WILDEST Geek Girls OMG!!! I found myself stonewalled on a number of other projects, to the point that I needed to make something just to get something done. More specifically I needed to finish something. Starting projects is easy, finishing them is hard. This isnt a thorough historiography of Vsauce, its a story. Its not about the business of running the channel, the ways that it has fractured into sub-channels with multiple hosts and how the stand alone DONG channel functions as its own version of what Vsauce was, its about the narrative created by the channel itself. Part of why I didnt go into all that is because the self-contained story is applicable to so many channels. Its a very prototypical story unique to the structure of YouTube itself. As much as theres a possible future where Mind Field is done, cancelled, over, whatever, and Vsauce goes on to do something else, something old, something new, theres as much a possible future that this is it, that when Mind Field is over so is Vsauce. Either way when you walk from one end of Vsauce to the other its quite a journey.
