Done With the First Draft of the New Script!

Hey guys,

I am finally done with the first draft of the new script!  I am so very sorry for how long it has taken. Unlike the first time I wrote the script, this time I was coming up with a brand new story and although I knew what I wanted to do, I had no idea how I was going to do it.

I still have a lot of work to do though. This is the first draft.  I need to go over it in its entirety and iron out as many wrinkles as I can, but the good news is that I truly feel that won't take very long. I worked on this very slowly, not writing a scene until I was certain I was taking it in the right direction. So, if done properly, there won't be a lot that I need to polish. Hopefully, just some dialogue here and there.

So, what comes after that?

Once the script is done I will need to build the new sets and new characters. This new script is not a re-telling of the old. It is completely new story. Originally, the final battle between Xam, Power Dog and T-Boom took place on a deserted island. In the new script, it takes place at a Hydroelectric Dam. The bridge fight is also not in the new script. I also have a new idea for the city layout.  There are also several new characters and even a couple of henchmen for T-Boom.

Basically, I have a lot build.

Add that to the fact that we are approaching October and my focus turns to our annual Halloween display.  Check out my other blog if you want to know how that's coming along (Hollinger Hollow). I've already started posting over there. And the movie inevitably sees little activity during the holidays.

That said, I feel as though I have a lot to make up for. I spent a very long time working on the new script, trying to get it as perfect as I can. Still, that is a behind the scenes kind of thing and I really want to work on creating my new sets and characters.

Keep in mind, I say this every year around this time, but I am really going to try to make sure the movie doesn't get completely brushed aside during the last three months of the year. Expect to see some updates, kinda like I have for the last six months. Not a steady flow of updates, but at least one a month.

Of course, when I have something to post, I will post it!

Later!
