I had a fab idea for a new screenplay the other day, one that might even be within the realms of reason to make on a low budget. So I’ve had my trusty Dramatica out to see if the idea holds water. It seems to. There are some interesting themes that’ll be fun to explore, so I’ve decidied to put the sci-fi screenplay on the back burner (the first step in accepting it’ll never probably get finished!).
There is nothing greater than the feeling you get when something fresh and exciting spills out of your finger tips and onto the keyboard, especially when it keeps on making sense, and getting better when you start to flesh it out. I haven’t had that feeling for a while (well, this time last year when I was writing House of Donn, I guess). It’s a very refreshing experience.
The ‘Greetings’ edit/audio tidy up labours onwards. I’m now up to page 22 of 80 (as the script goes), so I think I’m roughly on target to get the first pass complete by the end of February (if I carry on at my present speed). I’m getting a dab hand at matching up the good audio with the old.
Speaking of audio, my trusty collaborator Darren has agreed to help out with the music, I suppose we’ll work it like we did with House of Donn, where he writes the source material, gives me the MIDI files and I mess it up and arrange it into the film.
Lots to do…
