Post 14 AKA Flickering Glow of Existence

The Neon is starting to glow.
The Rot is starting to.... Rot.

Preprodcution, baby!

Currently I've been sketching thumbnails of storyboards, working on my directors statement and have begun my script breakdown. The wheels of progress are turning!

I thoroughly enjoy the storyboarding process, as it's one of those early opportunities to get the idea out of my head and onto paper. The only problem with this is that I am quite amateur when it comes to drawing...

Very quite amateur.

That said, the Director's statement and manifesto can help paint the picture of the world by providing reference for most everything. As I'm going mad with art design this is essential. The other years I've created film were quite tame, but this time I really wanna flex my stylistic and creative muscles. I will need to get a good team of like-minded people to pull this off, so here's hoping I can bring people into my world.

You're not allowed to see my words...yet.

Next time I'll hopefully have some better storyboards and interesting paperwork stuff to add.

Nothing says fun like a hazard form.

Post 13 AKA Rising Vigour of Fallen Trees

The script for my personal project has been handed in. Now the preproduction begins.

 

Hold onto your butts.

I'm keeping details about the story under wraps for the time being, as I'm a secret squirrel like that. However, I can divulge some information, such as the it's Sci-Fi setting and Samurai-Western genre.

I can also so that this is something that may not be easy to make and might not be everyones cup of tea, but gosh darn it it's something I wanted to make!

I have a dream

Currently I'm creating my Director's Manifesto, which is filled with the concepts of the world, characters and process. This is one of my favourite parts of filmmaking, as I am able to jam some sweet tunes, get a coffee and pump out my ideas to my hearts content. Bliss.

I'll make sure to update some manifesto stuff on my next post, but that's it for now.

Signing out.

Post 12 - AKA Is That the Time Already?

Hahaha oh boy haha.
I shouldn't laugh.

The ball has been dropped super hard.
I must apologise to my followers (and Tutor) for my slackness with this blog.

I know in my previous posts I was fairly indignant about the whole thing, but I still should have been posting. For this I apologise and am truly regretful. Marks are marks after all.

So in terms of the project: We are done filming, which means no more AD work. Yaaaay.
This meant I have been able to allocate my time for sound design and the such, which has been much more enjoyable for me. I definitely know what part of the process I prefer.

Just waiting for picture lock and then I should be golden to get cracking on this properly.

I will update again shortly, I feel I have a lot to make up for.
So watch this space.
