Today Damien and I went through his most recent script to include a few ideas that he liked from my script. We then went through it 2 or 3 times more to make sure when reading, it had a pretty good flow for the beats etc throughout. WE added a few more symbology things like the Lotus flower and Dragonfly, and a new concept that on each reply letter, there would be a little logo, wax seal or drawing to resonate with the letter it was replying too. Damien wanted the second letter to reference the coccoon stage of the butterfly metamorphosis, but I felt this would be difficult ot imply, and it also wouldn't fall in line with the "lyrical" visual asthetic of the film, so i then suggested we should keep up with the sort of asian symbolic theme we are using, and between us came up with the lotus flower....and it went on from there.
Here is a link to youtube vid on how to make origami lotus flower!
Tonight I also attempted to draw up a production schedule on a time line for us. Wow this was so not what i wanted to do. Was already to go and finish my digital paintings of charlie, but thought we better get something like this done up, as I could feel time just slipping away from us. After I got a rough schedule drawn up, I then began a production plan or scene breakdown, just to have an idea of how many we would have, and also get an idea of who wants to do what. Thought this might help with writing our Personal Learning plans for Andi, whatever the hell they are meant to consist of.
Other thoughts I had today were:
Lets have just 1 blog for our film that we all post too, this way we can set up to send alerts whenver something is added, and also we can direct people to one page, rather than 3 like sound designers or musicians who are helping us in near future.
References for scissors - i thought of how Miyazaki's Spirited Away animated bits of paper that cut up Haku when he is in his dragon state and thought we could look at this for reference for our flying scissor scene...even just to see how character animated can look. I couldn't find any images of the scene, only this one after he got chopped up, but i have it on DVD and will bring it in.
Other reference for colour scripts, environments etc - art of robots and cars books - i shall bring them in for us to gander through.
