[Frameworks] critiques?

[John Muse]

Hi, Michael.  I’ve found crits (even with friends!) to be most useful when a., folks are in a room (or Zoom) together and can really talk through their experience with you; b., you prepare a few questions in advance, which can be thematic or technical, about the topic or the formal issues or their entanglement; c., you can offer different cuts (of a few sequences, of approaches to sound design, of color correction) for comparison; d., there are snacks!  

It can be hard to explain the idea of a “rough cut” or “work in progress” or “temp music” or “temp titles” to people who aren’t makers and steeped in the lore, but you can frame things and focus everyone’s attention on the things that really matter to you.

Hope this helps!

There are so many different aesthetic interests and even politics so there's no single answer, but I've found myself looking for something between "rad, dude" and crickets.
