    Greetings all,

    Well we discussed getting back on track in the fanfilm business last night at our gathering, so here we go!

    We hashed out some ideas last night, and Troy sent me what he has for a script this morning. He and I will work on polishing it up and we should probably have it ready for suggestions in a couple of days.

    Alex, Berkley and I spent a few hours today scouting out a couple of locations and establishing some shots and where the camera should sit for filming some scenes, as well as working out a bit of what could happen where. We have about 4 minutes of footage of us just booting around, we'll get that trimmed down and organized, and maybe try to get some stills made up from it to help describe what we worked out... all in all, we found a GREAT location thanks to Berx, I think it is REALLY REALLY gonna work awesome!!

    Once we get a script hammered out, we need to have another meeting so we can do some storyboarding and establish how we want to accomplish the shots of the movie. Are there any artistically inclined volunteers who can do the drawing for us? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just good enough to get the point across.

    I'm really glad we are getting this off the ground again!!!

    I can do some storyboarding. Unfortunately, at the moment, I've had to put in a lot of overtime at work, that and I would have to scan and email the story boards....

    Sorry Troy, 2 things working against that...

    I am on dialup, so I don't spend a whole lot of time "connected" to make MSN feasable as a locator

    I was in Calgary all weekend... :)

    You should have something in your mailbox today... :)

    Okay, Troy and I have finished the initial draft of the script, here is a link to the script as we have it now.

    Please everybody give it a read over and think about it for the meeting tommorow night so we can discuss if we like it as is or would like to change some things.

    Enjoy!!!

    Oh and Jason, any help you can provide will be graciously accepted with great enthusiasm... :)

    I wouldn't sweat too much about this project though... while we want to make a decent film, the whole point is to get the feel of making one, so the fight stuff isn't as important as when we go for a more complex film... so save your good stuff for that.. :)

    For some reason, I get the feeling that Ty should make some sort of visual show of regretting having killed Jekiso at the end. He is a Jedi after all, and Jedi are not supposed to enjoy killing (they rever life). So if he made some sort of sign like kneeling over the body to say a silent "right of passage" or something, then we might be able to portray a more "Jedi-like" attitude...

    ...at least that is something that comes to mind...

    I'm sure that Troy will be able to explain this better, but...

    Basically Ty is going to be a kind of "last resort" for the Jedi Council. When all negotiations, all attempts at reconciliation, all efforts to stop somebody fail, then The Corellian is sent in to get the job done, one way or the other. I guess the best way to describe his character is a "Mercenary-Jedi", he is the last resort when all other avenues have failed. He is wise enough to realize that sometimes death IS the only option.

    Maybe if we move a bit of the dialogue around, we can make it look a little less like Ty is looking forward to killing Jekiso, but that it is his only choice in the situation, and can still retain his cocky attitude.

    Yeah, we definately want to show Ty's character flaws: arrogance being one of the biggest. He's not a very traditional Jedi. He refuses to take a padawan as it would "tie him down".

    We're trying for a "against type" sort of Jedi.

    I was also thinking on this last night, and realized it isn't so "out of character" for a Jedi - at least a movie Jedi. Luke, Mace, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and scores of other Jedi kill people in battle, without any "visible" remorse, which is where the books really excel, because they can look deeper into the psyche of a Jedi than a movie can. Hopefully we can use the best of both worlds eventually... :)

    Well we had a short but productive meeting last night.

    Costuming - Angela and Terry are looking into how difficult it would be to make a shirt similar to Lukes in ROTJ... as well as keeping their eyes open for some dark green fabric to make Ty's robe out of. Anyone is free to look through their closets to try and find something suitable for Jekiso... something that might be a bit beat up for pants and a shirt, as well as a loose fitting long sleeved tunic shirt to go over top.

    Props - For Jekiso's sabers we discussed using some PVC pipe and wooded dowels, and using that spray insulation foam that expands to secure the dowel inside the PVC pipe. Not sure exactly how we are going to secure THAT to Jekiso's arms, so if you have any suggestions, please speak up. Also looking for ideas on how to inexpensively convert the part of those pipes that will be showing to look like blade emitters.


    [b][u]SHOOTING[/b][/u]

    [b]We briefly discussed when would be a good time to plan for shooting days... we looked at the weekends of August 23-24 or August 30-31. If everybody could let us know their availability for those weekends, that would be great.[/b]

    Location Equipment - We are going to need a tarp (which I have) to provide some shade while on location, as well as some coolers and ice so we can have drinks available (everybody provides their own). It might also be a good idea to bring a chair so that you have somewhere to sit down (I only have the one collapsible one). If you can think of anything else we might need please feel free to suggest it.


    That's it for now, if you have any ideas, suggestions, additions or insights, please post em! :)

    Well we have a decision to make folks...

    Danny isn't going to be available to film until late September at the earliest, so we need to decide if we want to wait that long to film, or if we want to re-cast Jekiso and go ahead as scheduled if we can find somebody willing to take the role if it comes to that? :)

    Opinions?
