The Power of Building in Public

Here's what happened when I posted my Reveal Trailer script:

1. Members liked what they saw! Clear support & curiosity. After a long day, it's like wind in my sails ⛵️

2. Confusion: Members didn't know how Priam had knowledge of future events

In my mind, the answer was obvious - Priam's monologue was to his daughter Cassandra. She's a prophetess, and so she told Priam of the future events. It's just that he'd never believed her words until he saw that her warning about the horse was only too real.

Here's the insight: All this was obvious only to ME 😅

Trailers aren't for the the creators - it's for the audience!

Building in Public can highlight blindspots BEFORE they get set in stone.

Imagine I had already paid $1000s of dollars for voice acting and animation!

But I won't make that costly mistake, thanks to my community.

So I rewrote the script, to weave in a bit of background.

See comments if interested in new version!
