you manipulate that space and it and it even goes to camera angles, right?

So like there's worms eye view and bird's eye view, right?

Worms I view is when you tilt if you tilt the camera up

the figure in frame is very imp imposing and and and and and it it's it it it gives an idea of strength.

But on the other hand, if you look it down on characters

And you isolate them visually and in space, they become very weak and isolated and in crisis.

So uh that's the simplest thing to remember is is, you know, big things important, small things not.

You know, that's it.

That's com that's visual storytelling.

Um and there's many, many variations on that, but that's this that's the basic concept.

And so that's why

That that is another reason to keep in mind the th the thing that I think that is probably the most common and I see it with like professional writers, is trying to cram too many things in one panel.

That's that's the biggest thing most almost all noobs have a struggle with is, you know, the panel is the sentence of comics of the comics paragraph and um you don't want to run on sentence.

So only one, maybe two things happening per panel, that's it.

Stop.

Because uh in in comics you're manipulating space, in movies you manipulate time.

That's the big difference between the two.

Um if you've ever heard of the the site

uh Comics Geek Speak.
