Since starting this project in Sept of 2019, there have been a lot of changes to the script idea and concept of this film. All for the better. I have decided to focus on this only as a short film (not a fake commercial) that can be then developed into a feature or into a series. Or simply remain as a short film, and move on to other projects, if I can not generate backing for it as a longer form project.
I will edit my posts here to reflect the most current information and a simple progression of production updates.
Thanks. Yeah it is interesting. This is one of the more fascinating stages of the process. Starting with a kernel of an idea. And then nurturing the story ideas. Right now we are discussing some basic improvements to the story line.
I will share the summary of the changes when I have them.
If I don’t break my back entirely on the ‘rush-job movie’ I’m currently experimenting with (the one in the other thread) I hope to go down a slightly similar route with the beginning of 2020. Be good to have some ideas for the groundwork, so my eyes will follow your work, most definitely!
I hope you don’t mind me aping your workflow a bit along the way
Not at all. That is one of the reasons I am putting it here. So that others can get some insight. If anyone can take any part of it and can use it, that would be great.
On that note, I will open up to my writing process next and some of the reasons behind changes we will make.
As cool as all of this verbiage was, I am going to streamline this thread and rid it of all of the walls of text. It is here in this PDF if you want it.
We continued to dial in a style. I also assigned one artist to do all of the character concepts. However there are four concepts remaining in here that are from another artist. I wonder if anyone can pick them out.
We did some research to find some kind of theme for the film logo. I wanted the artist to identify some themes that would help tell the story of the film.
Yes. The updates will be gradual with progress from storyboards all the way to final. I will try my best to give insights on the process along the way. Not just updates.
Really great stuff. I look forward to watching this project grow and seeing it turn from idea to finished product. And I don’t doubt their is going to be a lot of great knowledge to learn from here. I wish you and your team the best of luck.
Lots of progress. I have been meaning to clean up this thread and update it. But… busy with so many other things. But I and the team have been progressing on this. Let me just give a general sampling all around.
Edit April 04, 2020: I am going to continue to clean up this thread with a more cohesive progression of updates.
