The town is the show
Westerns are about a place: one street, one saloon, one jail, one train that comes on Tuesdays. Put those in your World once and every Episode happens there. The sheriff and the outlaw are saved Characters, so the scar, the hat and the squint are the same in every standoff.
Pick your western
Every look works. Pick the Art style when you make the Characters.
Painted frontier
Big skies and lamplight in the Painted style: the serious drama.
Real
The Real style for a live-action feel. Put yourself in the saloon from your own photo.
Cartoon western
The Cartoon style for an animated western comedy with a recurring outlaw and sheriff.
Standoffs, beat by beat
A standoff is a few short Clips, not one long take: the stare, the hand, the bell, the shot nobody expected. Write it as Scenes and film each as a Clip with a plan. For other eras, see historical drama; for a cartoon series in any genre, see cartoon show.
