3 march 2007 ~ Script

We finally have a direction for our short. We have developed a rough script that outlines actor's actions, framing, composition, lighting, focus, visual effects, editorial style and location.

Our goal is to draw the audience in with live action for the first 2/3rds, then slowly introduce cgi----then hit a climax where it is all abstract cgi-- Should be very interesting...stay tuned for more on that!

Our script calls for 3 characters, all at the emotional low of their lives. They all react in different ways...eventually their internal emotions get physically manifested around them as elegant destruction. We will have several 3d models, most photo-real.

We will have lots of destruction animation, some hand animated and some using dynamics. We will also have a very abstract, fully CG section where we will have a 3d character, animation, effects and a heavy handed style.

So far we are entertaining several aesthetic options...Again, we want to avoid the home movie look, so color grading etc will play a large role. One of our actors is in Toronto for 5 weeks so script alertations etc need to get wrapped up to a basic level so we can film before she leaves! ahhhh, I love this stuff!
