Suspension of Disbelief

Suspension of Disbelief is a result of poor execution. In story, I don't want people to suspend their skepticism or turn off their critical thinking. I want participants to believe that people are real and places exist. The only time suspension of disbelief is necessary is when the hands of the real world can be seen - whether it be poor dialogue or forced action or cartoonish CG. A story is told well when the recipient is invited to believe without distraction.

This man got it.
