A Dream I Just Had
Hey.
I need to relate this somewhere and this is probably the best first step.
Overnight I had this dream:
It started either over the Internet or at a Fantasy fans' convention in Texas. A group of college kids discovered that between them and their friends, they had enough resources to produce an epic fantasy movie. They put their aims in writing, signed up, shook hands, and set forth.
One of them, a master at deal-making, got the funding (and stealing an idea from Ed Wood, got some of the seed funds from churches!) and lined up Bruce Campbell as an Executive Producer (who also got to act as a major character!).
A team of three put together the story and wrote the scripts.
One of the group found design school students who created the costumes, set designs and props.
An engineering student and his classmates fabricated new camera systems for the project, which ultimately speeded up production and cut costs.
A pair of ROTC students in on the project got athletes and frat boys for action scene extras--and then trumped themselves by bringing in the Texas National Guard for the later battle scenes!
Actors came from college drama students (and their instructors) and local theater troupes.
Sets were built in sports arenas and vacant lots--and tied to one another via computer visual wizardry through the efforts of computer science students.
The title of the movie was Undying Kings.
