I know I've mentioned these guys to you before and although I think you should listen to just about ALL their podcasts, this one is pretty relevant:

The dude is some sort of professional mentor at Sheridan and one of the things he talks about is how some of his kids at Sheridan don't like dealing with dialogue.
I like what Lyndon says that most of the emotion should be just conveyed with poses, pacing, and staging, but this guy says dialogue is something that SHOULD be done. Anyway, just thought it was interesting.
Yea both is right great find by the way, and it doesn't really matter much...the goal is to have a clear story that can resonate...if dialogue is in there just to help than that should be ok too. I was reading Scott Mcleod's book and he talks a bit about the limitations of just gestures and visuals (its hard to be specific with them), the same with Brian Mcdonald where he talks about how you can use Dialogue to kind of give an underlying layer for a movie. We just have to do whats best for the movie and not someone else's opinions of how things should be. Ultimately I'd prefer to get rid of as much dialogue as i can since its a short film but right now we gotta be slave's to our story.
