However, I don't believe that people should quit their hobbies altogether. In fact, having spoken to a few law professors, it is unnecessary to do that. They encourage us to continue with our hobbies...with precaution.
Making a film is hard work. I've finished Love and War sooner than I have expected by (1) sometimes spending more than eight hours a day working on the editing and animating, and (2) sacrificing my time and energy for other things. I dislike leading people on and not finishing. So, if I am to make a film, I want to make sure I have ample time to do it.
WITH THAT SAID...
I would like to announce that YES, I AM currently DRAFTING a new movie. In fact, I have two completely different stories that I am debating over. And, as a reward for those who read my blogs (and pointless banterings), I will let out two secrets. (Everyone else will just have to guess...unless they read this).
1. The idea for my first movie is an action/drama/war film involving five members of royalty seeking revenge on one guy...and an army of 5,000. The goal is to choose to liberate a continent, or seek vengeance. This will not involve traditional definitions of vengeance. In fact, the characters involved in this movie will not be traditional either.
This film, if I decide to do it, is aimed for the sole purpose of storytelling, and exploiting the limits of special effects and 2D animation. For me, this movie will be MY piece of artwork. This is as much plot as I will write, because I am planning on announcing the existence of this movie only with a trailer. The idea behind it is to shock and elicit audience attention.
- Voice Acting = Difficult, prior acting experience or equivalent highly encouraged
- Plot line = Very much like a series, since it might be told in chapters.
- Time frame = seems like it will take over a year to complete.
2. The other idea for a movie to work on will be lighthearted and comedic...much like Love and War. I understand that people want me to make a sequel. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but there won't be one LOL (at least not now). This film will involve fewer characters, and involve a love mess (NOT a love triangle)! It will also involve something we are ALL VERY familiar with *evil chuckle*. This story will focus only on storytelling, and much like Love and War, contain few or no visual special effects.
- Voice Acting = Simple, but prior acting experience recommended
- Plot line = Simple, straight forward, with hilarious twists
- Time frame = Possibly a few months to 1 year for completion.
I'm not quite sure which I will end up doing, but it will take me some time for me to start on it. So for now, I suppose you can say that I am just testing the waters to see if I can even do a movie. :)
*but I WOULD like to have a break after just finally completing Love and War <_<
I like #2 better because to me #1 sounds a bit complicated. And I also like comedy so I prefer #2
ReplyDeleteI think you have a really sweet voice.
ReplyDeleteOh my Cera! I'm simply falling in love with the mention of number 1; that sounds like something I would love to try for and second off altogether seems like a wonderful story to tell.
ReplyDeleteFrom the sound of it, we might need either English or French accents...lol. My vote's on 1 all the way.
Then again, Comedy would be a fun watch as well. Still, 1 though. YAY! :D
