[@tobssd939]

StudioBinder... The gift that keeps on giving !

[@StudioBinder]

Guess you liked this week's episode? 👌🙌

[@TimothyJasonCarr]

You guys are amazing. From a filmmakers perspective, you are a big help and doing things others don't. Thanks.

[@StudioBinder]

Hey Timothy, glad you've found our videos helpful. That's the ultimate goal. :-)

[@IVUSER]

You're seriously one of the best and most underrated film-related YTers

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks Idan! You're on the ground-floor with us so we appreciate it!

I just started watching this channel today and I'm hooked. I have an undergraduate degree in tv/film production and want to become a developer of tv and film. This channel is awesome to help guide me in my writing which I've let go some years ago due to life happening, but this has always been a dream of mine to write/produce for tv/film!

[@kiki.arielscrystalco]

Loved this! MM is such a great example to use! I'm currently writing on studiobinder and came to youtube to research character creation. I clicked on the most appealing video and watched until the end, before realising you're the studiobinder yt channel! Haha. Not surprised, thankyou for all that you do, you are helping me immensely! Legends. 🙌

Ghost in the Shell had potential to be the greatest Sci Fi film since blade runner instead it was a beautiful boring paint by numbers film. It broke my heart because the original Anime was just amazing

[@Jorge_Ambruster]

Already done with this character worksheet and it was really helpful. I had some ideas on how I wanted them to be and what they liked. But, by forcing me to write them and actually seeing their wants in the same page I was able to make their Dynamics much more interesting

[@conniebarr268]

Thank you so much for these useful templates.

[@StudioBinder]

Absolutely! Here's an article from our blog that further explores the art of writing and developing characters in stories: www.studiobinder.com/blog/character-development/ Enjoy!

[@echoems]

your videos are extremely helpful! binge watching on your channel now. great content! 👍

[@StudioBinder]

What was the last video you binged on? 👍

[@xx_furby_lover_xx5812]

I'm planning to someday create a tv show, I'm graduating high school next year and plan to study that field. Thank you for this

[@corythurston0]

My question is should you do a chart for each episode, season or one for the whole show?

[@StudioBinder]

What are the qualities of a strong (and dynamic) character? Let us know in the comments!

[@VanessaDegarmo]

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Could you elaborate on the Who portion of this video? Like how do you figure out who your character is. Aka( imposter, family man, adulterer, Alcoholic). Thanks in advance.

[@fakecubed]

Flaws!

[@SynterraSteen]

Vanessa's Fiction writing, Art & Photography I think that’s up to you to figure out. Make it make sense for your story

[@VanessaDegarmo]

Could this process work for developing a novel series instead of a t.v series.

[@JeffKomarow]

This video was great! You backed up your thesis with examples and it was interesting.

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you liked it! We do our best to provide actionable advice (while having them backed up with example). Thanks!

[@amandamoresco3747]

This is an amazing resource that really helped me out! THANKS!

[@skylarjuliana3575]

Would love a video on books you'd recommend film production students read

[@Bowe_Music]

Your videos and materials have been invaluable in my high school Film Studies class. StudioBinder is top-quality!

[@storywala88]

This is amazing help for aspiring film makers like me.

[@fakecubed]

It's weird showing clips of Game of Thrones in this one since the *book author* did all the hard work in creating the characters and story arcs.

[@Jetstreamhustla]

I need to do this before I develop story lines

[@rosecastaneda8372]

This video is very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@jonestornado]

Hahahaha. Who ever edited this deserves a raise! like 5:27 and 6:26. Pure gold. Thank you!

[@Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh7]

Thanks I'm 12 and I've always wanted to make a ninja tv show but I don't have animation stuff so I just use ninjago lego stop motion

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

I feel like you should do another character analysis on The Big Lebowski.

[@bmasters1981]

One thing that I think makes a great character is that if the lead(s) ask that character to do something, that character does it without complaining; I was seeing a sixth-and-final-season episode of NBC's hit medical/action series Emergency! ("Isolation," from 1977 [OAD Saturday, March 19, 1977]), and at one point, Dr. Morton was asked to go with Johnny and Roy to help out at the rural fire station that Johnny and Roy were stuck at; he went back straightway with them, and while I didn't get to see Dr. Morton actually doing any work, just that willingness on his part to go to that rural fire station and help out was remarkable development in and of itself, IMO.

[@mdtisthebest6249]

No

[@MeBaba597]

Good vid. It was very helpful

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you found it helpful! What's your favorite character archetype?

[@TheClosetRatchet]

These videos are so helpful

[@innanoshe]

Thank You guys So much! The link to the worksheet isn't working.

[@faresrocknroll5008]

Great job guys ! i do respect your efforts..Keep it up If i may ask ..what's the name of the tv show on 4:30 ( Mega store part )?

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for being on the ground-floor with us! The more comments/likes we get, the more KZbin suggests it to other subscribers, so keep them coming! The show @ 4:30 is called "Superstore"

[@faresrocknroll5008]

Thank you .. !

[@rightamygdala]

What are the ACTS for writing an episodes?

[@atiqrony8631]

Brilliant. Great job!👌

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed it, do you agree with our character breakdown?

[@atiqrony8631]

@@StudioBinder Yes, I do.

[@pardumansinghactor7545]

Thanks 😀

[@DANIE723]

this is awesome could you do it with more character breakdowns examples?

[@jasomega2446]

Thank you so much!

[@heyimglo]

Thank you so much for this :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

When I click on link above, I don't see how to download the FREE Character Development Worksheet. Please help.

[@oliversvoice4383]

Hello, I'm currently developing a show at the moment that I'd like to get off the ground someday and this playlist has been of great help to me so thank you for doing this. When it comes to writing what has happened to a character that defines them, would you include flashbacks shown within the show as part of it? If you could help me, that would be great! Again, thank you for this series and I wish you the best of luck.

[@behappy-qq4kv]

Why isn't the character worksheet available anymore?

[@littlecreeps2956]

There's doesn't appear to be a link for the worksheet on the page you send us too. Can we get that updated?

[@StudioBinder]

Hi there, you'll see an email box when you scroll down (with the dark background). Go ahead and enter your email address and it should be delivered instantly. We'll be sure to make it more clear on the page though.

[@DallasRico]

Great video. Where do I download the character template?

[@StudioBinder]

[@faisaardra3366]

The link to worksheet doesn't work

[@azortheturkahai1168]

No analysis for the Sopranos or Oz?

[@DAMON409]

Characters are only characters when you give them specificity in attitude or behavior.

[@718jef]

For the example, avatar the last airbender would have worked great

[@bwlsliteraturelibrary]

Nice🎉❤

Ugh...this just reminded me how much I hated the ending of Lost. 😒

[@christianaguilera1469]

Being part of the Hollywood remake of Ghost in the Shell is not something to be proud of

[@HeartlessKnave]

All I want to do now is watch Mad Men...

[@Prajwal____]

Basically the video says just create characters

Wow. I just watched two of your videos. Didn't like 'em.

[@claudiamanta1943]

Really…?

[@jamycine]

It is an amateur and mediocre content ! Below Studiobinder's standards .

[@claudiamanta1943]

It is good and useful, though it could have been a little longer to cover other functions, too.

[@therealmcdcm]

Don't forget "WHY". This will all be pointless if there isn't a WHY
