It is the correct way of doing it. So you are doing the right.
However, the hardest part of creating a PA or PAO is to find the correct actions.
You can look more into Linking methods by searching on the forum. The links will give you the actions.
Let me give you a couple of methods which may help;
With linking 2 items, it’s known as Paired-Linking, if used more than 2 then it becomes Chain-Linking such as PAO, or OaOaOa etc.
With using the Persons, what I do is to think of what he naturally does.
So if 00 is;
- Ice-Cube as in Person
- and Ice-Cube as in Object,
- and his usual Action is singing
then you may think of the Ice-Cube as an Ice-Cube Shaped Microphone,
and he maybe Holding it while he is singing into the Ice-Cube-Mic.
This will work, but since there is no emotions involved, it may not be as vivid or memorable as it should be. So here is where you can be a little more creative to make it more memorable. You may imagine him singing to the Mic, and the Ice-Cube melting into water running down his hand, wet and slippy.
01 The Wrestler with his Object Scissors.
His action can be Cutting or Chopping the next object.
Again, add a little creativity into it, and perhaps it could be;
He is cutting the object and Blood Squirting out of the Object.
This will be more memorable then just cutting the object with scissors .
So you PAs could be;
00 01: Singer holding scissors with blood pouring from it.
01 00: Wrestler singing to the Ice-Cube-Mic melting into water.
PAO could be;
00 01 00: Singer Cutting (with scissors ) the Ice-Mic melting into water
01 00 01: Wrestler Singing into a Scissor with blood pouring out.
what happens when you can’t find an action?
Create one, and keep it for that particular person and the object, and Not re-use the same action with any other.
When creating a new action for a person and his object that doesn’t have anything special about it, then create an action that could be very funny or very violent, or surprisingly disturbing, but maybe funny or violent at the same time.
Let’s say you can’t find an action for the person Ice-Cube Singer with his object Ice-Cube;
Let’s see how we can be creative by using the 3 methods I mentioned;
Funny;
Singer is putting his head into the Ice-Cube, and his head becomes the Cube.
Violent
Punch it, Slash it with Knife, Kick it, Bite it, Shoot it with a gun.
Surprise/Disturbing/Funny
Singer is Urinating on the ice-cube. Pooping on it. etc.
Here is another one I use which I call “The Super Hero Powers Method”
This is when I can’t find anything special but want a memorable action, and I use a special power of a Super-Hero such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc;
So let’s say you want to use a hero power on your singer;
You may imagine him Eye-Lasering the Ice-Cube and melting into water. Just like Superman does.
This action then can be used with your Wrestler, this time He is Eye-Lasering whatever the object, but you know that if a person is using an Eye-lasering action, it belongs to the digits 00.
The super-hero power method is one of the ten method I use in my system. But the above ideas should get you started with finding and applying actions to your persons and objects.
