CSS sans DOM 

CSS is amazing, but the HTML DOM isn't. It's just so heavy. Maybe if JSON or some similar format could replace HTML/XML, it could be made lighter? Better, I think, would be to use a human readable format like Eno. It's as terse but much easier to read than JSON.

Storytelling

Storytelling seems to underlie all media. Video production, music composition, writing. Whether for a bland, fact-based documentary or an animated cartoon, all these artistic tasks involve a process of storytelling.

Familiarity and workflow

Blender is a 3D design software with a built-in video editor and a powerful compositor, among other relatively hidden gems. The advantage of these tools in a 3D design app might not be obvious to some but it saves from having to learn workflows of multiple apps. Once a user is comfortable with Blender's basic workflow and key commands, it's much easier to learn other parts of the software. Rather than exporting rendered videos to edit in another software, they can use the workflow they're already familiar with to edit within Blender.

To be forthright, Blender has a steep learning curve. It takes time to get acquainted with it. The reward being increased productivity through familiarity with an intuitive and fast workflow. Once that time is taken, the same workflow can be applied to other aspects of design like video editing and compositing.

What we want is a workflow that's far easier to learn than Blender's. Notepad for Windows provides our base experience. Anyone…

The Higher Goal

With our focus on storytelling, it should quickly become clear that we're poised to tell the most enthralling story of all; the story of our creator. There can be no greater success in storytelling than to tell the greatest story in the greatest way. And that is our lofty goal. With that defined, we have the best possible intention in working toward the best possible end.
