DREAM PROJECT: update one

It is a sole desire of mine to work on my dream project in the manner I feel would best serve it as possible. I have been working hard on the foundation which is the story, making sure that I am writing as many drafts as possible to get a more solid and cohesive structure and powerful character arcs that transcend my characters from the beginning, middle and end. The goal is to make a narrative that has inspired me to want to share with people and make something that is a testament to my abilities as a storyteller and challenge myself if I am able to tell a fluid and comprehensible story with flushed out characters and a powerful beginning to end that captures the imagination of all who the film.

I am working on having the new draft completed and have it broken down to have it reconstructed and make notes of what will make the plot much stronger and faster and not have any lagging points where the plot drags on. The biggest challenge often I have faced is having a very strong opening in which I can grab the attention of a person instantly and have been trying to experiment with the slow burn and having things build up but not have they've bored or have a lot of heavy extensive dialogue but have a means of explaining everything to the audience or the reader so that they are able to have a very rich experience and enjoy the time on watching the story unfold before them. I have been very critical of myself and often it is a hardship that I need to let go and focus on getting a solid story out first and foremost before trying to edit as I am writing, which can be counter productive to the writing and can also stifle creativity or the creative process.

I have been wanting to make sure that once I have the story down and various revisions that I am able to go into pre-production and amass various contacts from various art departments and companies. The goal also is to contact various artists to connect with and send out emails in regards to concept artists that I have admired and want to work with and create artwork with for the project. I also want to reach out to costume designers to create costumes for the characters and sit down to make costumes that will add to the characters and not just be flashy but work with the personality of the characters. Creature designers and prop design to create practical effects with actual puppets and puppeteers to bring character in my imagination to life. 

I desire to have a blend of scale sizes sets and cities be built for the sole purpose of having them look as tangible as possible. And have been wanting to use computer generated images and marry them with practical effects and set design that would enable there to be a cohesive blend that would not standout as an effect shot but would be considered to be a combination of a team of a creators coming together as one. 

More to talk on this one for sure. 

Thank you for reading as always.
