Thanks for the post. We try to help everyone, even if they don't have a background in scripting, animation or arts college training in story telling and drama. Tools like Moviestorm already help by providing some 'quick start' movies to get you going, and increasingly they integrate with tools like Celtx. That helps bring in existing scripts from text. As we add AI behaviours to the actors and cameras we increasingly find that anyone can create quick, simple video to get their point across. That helps people become more like 'directors' than 'consumers'. There is a clear line between 'dancing elf' silliness (which has its place) and telling a story, no matter how short. It is our guess that, at some point every day, every one has something that could be said better in video than in words. Hope you come along for the ride and help us to help more people express themselves. Dear Native. Thanks for the post.
