FPA

FPA (First-Person Animation)

A storytelling format where the entire animated scene is presented from the protagonist’s point of view, typically showing only their hands or arms while maintaining strict eye-level perspective.

Unlike traditional third-person animation, FPA emphasizes immersion, embodiment, and psychological framing through direct environmental interaction.

Common traits:
• Strict POV camera
• No visible face of the protagonist
• Physical interaction with the environment
• Embodied sound design (breathing, cloth movement, impact)
• Emotion conveyed through perspective rather than cutaways

“That short fight scene is pure FPA — you’re literally inside the character.”

Neon Saturday

A micro-visual-novel storytelling format consisting of extremely short (5–10 second) narrative clips that deliver a single emotional or philosophical beat using retro visual novel aesthetics.

Designed for fast consumption, Neon Saturday scenes prioritize compression, clarity, and immediate impact over exposition or buildup.

Common traits:
• 5–10 second runtime
• Minimal dialogue (1–2 lines)
• Static or near-static framing
• Retro VN-style presentation
• Standalone emotional payoff

“That clip felt like a Neon Saturday — short, nostalgic, and straight to the point.”
