Now, with the winter break coming to an end in a duo of weeks and school just around the corner, I'll be having more responsibilities laid upon my plate. School, work, funny twitter updates. All are important, and need a devotion of time.
But there is one thing I continue to think about as it percolates in the back of my mind, one thing that "haunts" me, for lack of a better (and less spooky) word: just finally suiting up and making "REAL".
I would change the script. In the time since frist writing it, I've had a better idea for the projects execution. An idea that would make the short film both a stand-alone work as well as a teaser for a possible full length project. And it would be more condensed and less "bulky" than the script I've had up-till-now.
But should it be done? Would it be wise? It'd take a bit of an investement. Not too much, but the camera rental would be considerable, as would be retrofitting the suit, since shooting it in motion is much different than shooting it in stills. Heck, I had to digitally edit the outside "underwear" to make them more yellow in some of the shots. Damn faded Fruit-of-the-Loom. Such calm, muted colors...
Anyway, it's something to think about, and something I will think about. I have someone in mind to play the "superhero", someone I've talked to and (at face value) seems to be a VERY good fit for the lead character of Michael Barnes (sadly, I had to think of the name for a minute... it's been far too long).
Will it happen? I don't know, but time will tell. As well as my bank account, the quality of the script, the commitment of the actor, the other performers, personal assistance, my work schedule, my income, my class grades, camera avalability, location commitment...
