My first film with the EX1!
I have written a script and to TRY to give a flavour of what it might look like made a concept opening for the first few minutes. I'm limited by budget scale and signed actors! But hey who cares! So please have a look at my concept/test OPENING.. And maybe leave some thoughts?
http://www.mydeo.com/videodownload.a...679&CID=177563 This was the script. Apologies for its lack of formatting! FADE IN: EXT. SPACE. SAMS SMALL CAPSULE EARTHBOUND A Sun explodes. A massive violent explosion. Whizzing across this landscape. A black capsule "Whoosh” flies through space. Through warped images. Space the scale of distance as a horizon disappears into infinity. Images of strange shapes and ghostly appearance. Like mirrored reflections and lights. Ghostly contortions of stars and galaxies as they move slowly. The universe. Contorted by the capsules faster than light speed. A lifeless looking cold frozen body. A light “glimmering” can be seen as we break through the capsule wall. A voice can be heard. This V/O is a pre-recorded message and heard from Sams POV. It can be used as a background to the journey as required. It can be loud soft or indiscernible. (The first part though does contain a plot point. The learning program enables them to later design the new Battle simulator prototype and for convenience is in italics.) DOCTOR BOUGHTON (V.O.) This is Doctor Boughton Sam. "This Mission is one way. Your going Home. Your Destination? Your Place of birth. A small drill. Drills into sams head. A clear plastic pipe with robotic equipment moves down the tube into his Brain. DOCTOR BOUGHTON(CONT’D) I’ve made a learning program to help you operate their machinery. It’s being adapted to your Genetic makeup It will enable you to operate their transportation. This program will run completely independent of you and still be accessible by your conscious mind. The inhabitants defined by our Analysis model are at a low level of technology. But undoubtably under review by the Artec intelligence control life scan systems. Once there your high alpha wave activity should lure them in. Our assessments show this has an 90% probability, providing of course you stay unknown until the Artec life scan systems locate your position. Once you reach your destination you’ll know enough of their customs and knowledge to live undetected among them. Outside Sam’s craft flies through the universe. Past gas Nebulas. Through meteorite storms. Etc. A visual spectacle of the universe’s wonder. Sams craft approaches earth and flies downwards. A different light comes on, and the process of bringing Sam to waking consciousness begins. Close up of Sam stirring. DOCTOR BOUGHTON (CONT’D) If they become suspicious your not one of them. Isolate yourself. They are approaching a more advanced level and can be unpredictable. Acquire one of their dwellings and wait. Then remain hidden and stay away from trouble. The V/O Continues until the end of this sequence. EXT. SAM GETS OUT OF HIS CAPSULE. - NIGHT Sam’s craft lands on the bank of a lake at night. He gets out and reaches back in for a bundle. The craft takes off automatically. He throws the bundle over his back and sets out for the town. Looking up he sees the moon and across from it Orion his home. He can see it’s so far away. EXT. SAM WALKS ALONG A MOTORWAY. - SUNRISE He walks along a Motorway and past a big sign. Early morning. sunrise. EXT. SAM IN TOWN. - SUNRISE Sam has arrived in town. In front a newspaper stand with a cafe next to it. Lots of sights, cars trucks. He looks at the papers and pulls one out he looks at it and we see in his mind’s eye the learning program deciphering the language. He pulls out some money looks at the coins strangely before giving them to the seller who reacts indifferent to Sams odd behaviour giving him his change. CUT TO. Sitting in an all night cafe with a bought newspaper he circles a rented house. |

Hi Mark, I've tried to watch it a few times since yesterday but playback is very choppy for me and stops half way through. Any chance of a vimeo upload?
