Screams of joy.
Holy crap f-list! I am... making a short film!
:D
Okay, so here is the story. I was listening to Pirates of the Caribbean, as per the usual. I... always wanted to be a pirate, ever since that fatefully childhood Muppet's Treasure Island as a childhood. (this song, okay, tell me you wouldn't want to be a pirate with that song?!?!)
So in a sort of 'I can never be, but I'll do what I can' I drew this:
bigger version
Basic plot is as follows:
In the wake of the crumbling British Empire, the Empire of Atlantis has lasted thousands of years by being inactive and never letting anyone know of their existence. But a greedy historian has discovered its secrets and tends to exploit it to the world for fame and fortune. But as she proceeds forward the others that have discovered and vowed to protect Atlantis have risen against her evil for the secrets they have sworn to hold from the world.
But even as they move forward to protect Atlantis, the people of Atlantis are not so sure they wish to be protected any longer, many of them wish to make their presence known to the world, just like they did in the days of old. But little do they know that their secrecy was for a reason, to continue to protect the existence of humans. For without Atlantis as this center... the world will surely fall.
As you can see, I have used several of my friends images for it. I posted it on fb, tagged them and hoped they didn't eat me for using them in my fantasy of pirates and steam punkers and general randomness.
But... turns out, they were all really excited for it, and really... wanted to make a movie. At first it was suggested just a simple photoshoot but well, things got a bit ahead of themselves, and it became more and more possible given the skills of several of my friends. And so... it's happening f-list! My ridiculous little idea is coming true. I mean, there is lots and lots of hard work and commitment involved in it, but it's happening.
I just finished outlining the story in further detail for everyone's roles and etc, etc. I am beginning the actual script writing today. I have instructed the others to start location hunting, but I have several in mind as well.
Holy shit flist, I am so excited. I do this frequently, I come up with complete stories and plots to the most ridiculous details, but nothing ever comes of them. But with everyone else pushing me forward, I think this can happen!
