Coffee & Content: How to Write a Character Arc & The Making of Netflix's "The Crown"

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee and let's dive in.

First up, our friends over at StudioBinder recently released part three in their series about the four types of endings: Bitter, Semi-Sweet, sweet, and Bittersweet. In this video, they dive into the semi-sweet ending and how your characters wants and needs definite their character arc along the way. They illustrate the semi-sweet ending character arc with examples from the Pixar movie Onward. 

Next up, BAFTA Guru hosted a podcast featuring some key players behind Netflix's hit series The Crown. In this episode, they chat with Creator Peter Morgan, Director Ben Caron, Actress Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret), and Executive Producer Suzanne Mackie about the creative process behind this epic period piece. They talk about everything from finding and creating authentic period-appropriate costumes, writing in some famous American political figures of the time, and more.
