Wow! Has It Really Been That Long?!

Hey everyone,

I can't believe it's been nearly two months since I last posted anything. 

I am really sorry for that.  All I can say is that it's been a really interesting couple of months.  I've been writing, then getting stuck, and writing, then getting stuck, and, heck, you get the idea.

I've decided to start the script completely over and write a 30 minute movie that jumps right into the middle of the story and not the beginning.  This will absolutely quicken the pace of the film and get right into the action.

The problem with the script is that it just isn't that good and at times too cliched.  I know.  I'm not a real film maker.  Still, I'm trying to make a 30 minute movie and I don't want it to suck.  Chances are, in the end, it probably will, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try to make a good movie.

So, what I have learned is that I'm already going to make a few more character models.  One scene has Xam and Power Dog taking out four baddies and I need to make the baddies.  I also have to make a news reporter.  There are two in the script but I'm going to use the Rocky model as one of the anchors. 

As far as sets, I have Thomas' room and the city which for the moment I'm calling Prosper or Prosper City.  I'm not stuck on the name so it's probably going to change.  It sounds too Old West.

OK, so that's where I am.  Still writing. 

Sorry.

Talk to you later (hopefully not in another two months).
