Hello all;
I have been beating myself up not a little recently due to my tardiness in preparing the fourth project of the year, Easter Egg, but now I am pleased to say it is getting on its feet.
At first too many ideas were swirling round my head to get it down on paper...should it be about paganism, or christianity? About little girls stealing eggs, or about corporations stealing festivals?
In the end it has become about springtime itself, and is quite a lot more reflective and sombre than my original whimisical idea.
Given these multiple mutations, the working title Easter Egg is now almost guaranteed to change, although to what I'm not sure.
The whole thing is narrated with a poem...here's an excerpt:
"This creature, born in earth
And raised in sunlight
Whose soul was carried thither on the air
He was known in many lands
Whose many peoples christened him in many worded tongues
With many names that went before him there"
And it pretty much goes on like that. On and on.
In other news, I met with the legendary Tom of the Craigs this week, and after a few beverages our manly reserve broke down and we found ourselves able to talk about such things as potential, plagarism, Portuguese Men O' War, working, worries and the wonder of Moths.
It's always nice to talk with a fellow film-head, and the meeting left me feeling all the more certain in my conviction that yes, it IS possible and yes, if I try my darndest, I will achieve.
And I'm taking you all with me, you hear?!
Make way for film,
Jim
PS. Some of you may be wondering where my other projects have gone. Well, FMB is now edited and finished. After Ate is getting there, hopefully filming the last seconds of footage today so that can be done and dusted.
However after long deliberation I have decided not to post them on YouTube...however, I am planning a screening in a couple of months hence (July) in which I will display the half-years worth of films, and anyone who wants is welcome to come along ^__^
