Talkin’ Tagouts with Neil Baron
Better your tagout skills to make better scenes.
Tagouts are deceptively simple: Tag someone, they leave, you start a scene.
But there’s a lot more to a good tagout than that.
This 2.5 hour workshop is a deep dive into tagouts: what they can do, what they tend to do badly, and what separates tagouts that elevate a set from ones that muck it up.
We’ll identify some common pitfalls to avoid, drill the muscle of tagging with intention, and make sure our tagouts stay connected (but not too connected) to the scenes they come from.
