An introduction to the class and what lessons I'll be teaching

Greetings everyone, I will be your sifu through the journey of character development. Through this course I'll be going through a few techniques and principles that should help you transform your "talking head" characters to fully formed and thought out beings. I'll be going through things like dialogue, how your character affect settings and vice versa, which characters work better in 1st person and which works in 3rd, realistic vs. fantastic characters, developing back-story, creating dynamic characters, and basic exercises to help understand how personality (especially human) works. If you have questions during the course, post them, and I'll answer them in the following lesson. Depending on how this goes there may be more courses to come. I hope you enjoy the lessons, and I hope they help even more.
