Busy...But a New Understanding Since Last Time...

   Everyone has made a good short. But what many don't attempt, but need to attempt, is a serious series, or a significantly long video.
   We have been working really hard to make are series LO2, but it is draining in all forms of the term. We spend multiple afternoons to script an entire episode, it takes about three hours to write up a day plan, and then getting actors for all the parts takes a long time. In fact we have yet to fill three of the main parts...we are three weeks away from the first film day...hah
   From many afternoons of lying on bed ignoring homework and trying to find ways to make LO2 a success I learned something of great importance. In all honesty I've had a very pessimistic attitude to the probable outcomes of LO2, but I think I solved my biggest problem of all - the one that has been driving me nuts for months. We need the humanoid actions.

   When you read something you wrote up and you know there is something wrong with it...well it tends to drive you nuts. I wrote something up with my two co directors and I could tell there was something wrong with it.
   Our script was a problem. It's not that it wasn't amazing, it was that we didn't show enough detail. We would say what the scene felt like in our minds, but did not convey the shots, the expressions and everything that really goes into filming a movie.
   Today we started something that will, in the optimistic perspective, bring LO2 from the grave it had dug itself out into the sky where every movie deserves to be. We created a list that holds all of the different types of Gestures, Facial Expressions, Cuts & Lighting Techniques that we may use.
   In each of these lists our a series of our own thoughts and complexes that will bring about the sort of mood we describe in the script. In the future...likely this weekend...we will be implementing these humanoid expressions into the script.
   But in short I have cleared much of that worry off my chest with this single fix and we have great hopes in where we are going.
