Continuing the conversation from our first episode, Chris and I branch off into discussions on Character Introduction, Characterization/Motivation, and even Voice-Over Narration, all of which not only relate to each other, but also have connections to our previous topic, Opening Sequences. There's a lot that can go wrong, and a lot that can go right when it comes to characters, they're the surrogate for the audience, allowing them to experience things and consider things they might otherwise not. Even narrators, when handled properly, can be windows into the motivations of certain characters, often not introduced until later in the story. 

If you'd like to suggest topics for future episodes, I encourage you to leave comments and critiques on your preferred podcast app. And don't forget to leave a review if our show intrigued or inspired you.
