A Brief, Actual Scene From the Movie!

Hey everyone!

So, the script is coming along nicely. I don't see any reason why I can't shorten it to about 45 minutes, which actually is good news.  If this movie ever gets made professionally (cause life is that fair) then I will of course make it a feature film. Until then, since it's just me using as much freeware I can get, I think it's better that the movie be as short as possible while still telling the story I want to tell.

Anyway, I'm getting off the point.

While I was writing I was fighting the urge to model and film something until I couldn't fight it anymore. Writing is fun, but I needed a break.

So, I took the quickest, easiest scene I had and started modeling.

And, this is what I got...



This scene is very early in the movie. It's a quick, exterior scene setting up the scene that will show the meteor that gives Xam and Power Dog their powers being discovered.

Basically, I just wanted to have something new on the blog.

I hope you enjoyed it.  Now, I'm back to writing.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Hey guys,

Well, It's been a while since I posted on the blog. 

I'm sorry for that.  As I've mentioned in previous posts, the last 3 months of the year sees very little activity on the movie.

Still, it got me thinking about what exactly will happen coming January.  I really want to hit the ground running.

So, for the rest of the month I will be working on the dreaded script rewrite!

You see, I've been thinking of this movie for the last gazillion years now , a slight exaggeration, and the last time I read the script it really didn't fit the characters I now have in my head.  Nothing to do, I'm afraid, but rewrite the script.

Another thing I'm hoping to do is make the script shorter.  I can't remember how long it took me to write and produce my Overworld short (how soon we forget, besides, that's what I have a blog for) but that was only a 7 or 8 page script and it took me a while.  My first draft of Xam and Power Dog was a little under 90 pages, which is a feature film.  I'm beginning to fear I may never actually start making this movie.

I'm going to try to cut my movie to 30 minutes, 45 minutes max. That's not going to be easy for me since I have a tendency to ramble in my scripts.  The original Overworld script had to be cut down from 20 pages.  Once I have the script, I will decide the best way to begin filming something as soon as possible.  It's well beyond time to start seeing some footage. 

And that is my plan.  To start filming as soon as possible.

Hopefully, I will have something for you starting next month.

Talk to you then, if not before.

Later!
