Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Lou, one of the Cantina Ambassadors. Really excited to see what everyone creates for the Contra x Cantina Creator Challenge.
I wanted to kick things off by sharing the first episode of my micro-series, Platform 13. 🎬
I’ve been experimenting a lot with cinematic storytelling, character development, atmosphere, camera work, and figuring out just how far I can push a story inside Cantina.
Would love to see what you’re all working on too! Drop your characters, pilots, experiments, weird ideas, or anything else you’ve been creating in the feed. It's going to be amazing to see how everyone approaches this differently!
About the series:
🫀The Heart Vow🫀 is an ancient Mesopotamian-inspired supernatural telenovela where marriage is sealed by exchanging living hearts - and betraying them can literally make your spouse bleed 🩸
With a more complex series like this, I recommend really thinking about and developing the world and the concept before you begin creating! Strong character creation has a huge impact, as well as all the small details on style, tone, and of course storyline!
I did a lot of "screen testing" of characters and prompt ideas before I made this episode and it really helped me to get the results I was looking for!
Feel free to ask any questions on making microdramas on Cantina!! You can also DM me in app!
