An Ambitious Project - Week 51

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

ABOUT

We've gotten off to a stumbling start. I expected to draw more attention from Steemit but that didn't happen in the first week. As a result we only got 2 comments and each chose a different storyline. If you would like to know what the choices were check out last weeks post.
After some discussion we decided to go with the choice of @lokii. This was Blaine's idea for a story , which is the main reason we went this way. It keeps him interested which, in turn, keeps it a collaborative process.

At this point Blaines participation has been modest. His imagination is limitless but he doesn't quite grasp the concept of a screenplay. He is all about action whereas the screenplay focuses on dialogue, mood, setting, etc... . He'll get it. We are both learning as we go.
Since I have set such a presumptuous goal for us I am taking any shortcuts possible without jeopardizing quality or integrity, the biggest of which is to learn and use Final Draft to write in. It is designed to help circumvent and alleviate some of the procedure of scripting. I am sure it will prove quite useful in the future stages of this project.


WHERE WE ARE
Our progress at this point is focused on character development and direction. We have a protagonist (Sket) and an antagonist organization (Enderson Duetch Global Enterprises, EDGE). We are now trying to develop an antagonist character and a reason why the artifact is significant. The way I'm viewing this is that characters and story are the first steps on the path. Those two components are necessary to find direction. As I mentioned, Blaine is more focused on action and his imagination has no boundaries. He is instrumental in creating the model. I will deal more with the articulation of words to paper and fine tuning our ideas into a flowing text that will keep a reader interested.
MOVING FORWARD
Hopefully by next weeks installment we will have the outline of the story and I will have a working knowledge of the software. Wish us luck and stay with us. We would still like Steemit to be involved in this undertaking so any ideas, critiques, or shared knowledge are always appreciated.


You can help us to get Steemit more involved.
