The joint project with the animation students is going well. Meetings are held regularly and everybody turns up. We came up with a company name "Small Colossus" which is a nice reference to our group. Small, but great on ambitions. The rolls are all divided amongst the students and the first ideas are rolling on the table. A script was presented last Friday and we will go from there on. Today there is another meeting with the script team for further fleshing out ideas and script options. We have made it a goal to have a finished script by next week on Friday. Pledge Me got mentioned also and I am not against it as that will be a back up towards some extra cost. As the Producer also mentioned the animators will be in doors a lot and food will be Pizza. So any extra $ can be used to give them a better feed. Another positive remark on Pledge Me is that the whole group will be presenting their project, which is always positive as a get together out of the class room !! There are still some growing pains in place but they will be talked about today and on the next meeting. The main theme is Science Fiction and scientists and bounty hunters have been mentioned. Also there would be a monster involved. In the first spec our main hero would be falling through a cave/hole and into the water but that was not realisable. Good ideas are presented but it needs to be thought out and achievable. Lana and Brogan have organised a casting call which will be a good place to start to look for talent. So me and the producer hope to have a rough character basis for the script this Friday. Then we can look at the people that are coming this Sat and Sunday. I had talks with the art department and the initial designers have put a monster on the common Facebook page. And through talks they have also informed me what is possible and what is not possible. Showing a keen interest in the project.
Blog out D.
