Another observation about open source movie makery. The script, the storyboard, the casting, the pre-production, the primary production, post-production, chugga chugga. Whatevs! This is more of a painter’s approach. I didn’t know this until right now. I want to sketch out some ideas, snippets of writing, maybe a screenplay, sketches, a clay landscape, read an…

Another Fucked Up Day in Paradise Christina approaching As the tune kicks in a woman promenades down a stone strewn with spent cartridges, kicking a few out of her way. She walks towards a big boat. High above on the super structure of the ship, a man in a heavy coat watches her approach. The…

A theme song begins, distant, echoing. Cataclysmic scenes reel past as if viewed through a busted time machine, astounding, impossible. Iconic post apocalyptic cliches. Broken big kid toys. Lonely sandbox filled with snow. Montage – Teasers of all the Hero scenes, (which we’ll revisit unabridged), plus the flashes instantly assimilated. Apocalyptic Diversions Heros (4-5) Scene…

Opening the Door Christina isn’t sure what’s waiting for her out there… From Chris Carden 10/05 If you need it to happen quickly, consider a lot of fast edits that compress time for the viewer but still make it clear that it’s taking her some time to take it all in. Or show the viewer…

I am deliberately offering access to anyone with a computer and some fluency with the English language because I’ve been inspired by so many others who…

Bought the domain 3EB.us. Prolly should also buy Third Earth Battalion . us √ 3rd Earth Battalion . us √ TEB . us (taken) for coverage. Premise At the close of the 20th century, the New Age Movement and the United States Military were merged in Jim Channon’s First Earth Battalion Manual. Misguided and incomplete…

Wow, another synchronicity. I’ve been building a flashback rationale based on Christina’s humming of a few notes from Veronique, a mis-remembering of the tune Dominique, a song by Dominican nun Jeannine Deckers that topped the Billboard charts around the world in 1963-64. I was singing a snippet of this on the big boat back in…

Sequins and bubble wrap conjures campfire A campfire, with sparks rising up juxtaposed with Christina and bubble wrap being popped. Close up of hands and bubble wrap with sparkle dress perhaps. We hear a hint of Christina humming and the snap of the popping bubbles. The snap and crackle of a fire and the popping…
