Another Hamlet Moment
Another busy week draws to a close.† On top of the usual round of working and writing, I’ve been working on the Secret Thoughts of Angels web site.† It’s not complete yet, when it is I’ll post a link for you to all to look at (a clue for the impatient: I’m in the UK…).† I’m quite pleased with it so far.
I’ve also been developing an idea for another short, something less ambitious than SToA that I can shoot in a single location with perhaps two actors.† The main idea behind it is to write something that creates an emotional moment or Objective Correlative, as T.S. Eliot would have it, (thanks to Danny Stack for pointing that one out). †
Also, having read and studied so much on character, I want to write something more character driven.† I think SToA is certainly plot driven as, at the time, that’s all I really knew how to write.† I think there are further untapped areas of Dramatica yet to be mined that may well prove useful in this area…
The ending to Architurus is shping up nicely in my head at the moment.† I still need to do more research, so the script remains parked on page 60, waiting for the ‘little men downstairs’ to set the lights to green when they have enough info.† I need to find out more about small scale special ops tactics and I know just the man to call…
If anyone finds themselves at a gig this Friday with a band called Scary Mary playing, say ‘Hi’ to the bass player (or at least don’t laugh too much at him when you realise after all these weeks of rehearsals he still can’t remember Chasing Rainbows!).
