A new 3D test video crashed my
computer today. I have to be careful what
resolutions (and what framerates) I can entertain for this project.

It’s generally decided at this point that the film’s setup
is a 3D film; it should entertain a mix of CGI and real-life graphics—just like
my last, except this time, I may very likely have to balance two, or possibly 3
productions (to get the analogue theme).
The question is, with the previous script shelved, what’s the
story?

The wonderful script crafted a few days ago has been
scrapped, or shelved; in any case, I won’t be using it for the ISP. I personally think that it’s a wonderful and
touching idea that draws definite resonance with Cloud Atlas, but I feel that
the set requirements are unsuited to the task at hand—the scenes, while
emotional, make it too ambitious. I
guess I could make it work (by a very long shot), but that would require
simplifying the shooting locations and finding suitable actors, but I’m not
holding my breath. This script, however,
will definitely not be forgotten.

Talks with classmates have created a possibility of another
collaborative attempt; the idea is to create two separate projects, with
thematic resonances connecting each other.
Thus, the whole (both parties) is greater than the sum of its parts (the
two individual projects). Strongly, and
unabashedly inspired by Cloud Atlas.

Tests of new conceptual 3D presentation design deemed
unsuccessful; the idea of uncrossed parallel pictures has fallen through; the
eyes cannot focus properly. Reverting to
classical cross-eye 3D methods, however, generates true, stereoscopic 3D
images. 3D graphics test generally
considered a success. The artwork design
will have to be redesigned (and simplified).

I attended one of the first local screenings of Cloud
Atlas. My brain is still spinning as I
write—this daring and beautiful masterpiece will undoubtedly influence my
filmmaking vision and style in the future.

New Musical Inspiration: I have been listening to pieces
from Position Music’s Orchestral Series Volume 10; “A Father’s Love” conveys
the atmosphere and feeling I wish to implement.
I have crafted a rough script that draws a triple parallel between 1) a
young child struggling to overcome a balancing feat 2) a teenager having to
deal with an amputation from an accident 3) an older woman dealing with the
death of her husband. This will be an
ambitious project, one that may prove to be too large for the scope of this
project.

Met a friend to discuss execution of 3D computer graphics. Chances are, this project will RCT3 as well
for the computer graphics.

Attended Mindflex Townhall on new ISP (Integrated Studio Project). Within twenty minutes of his announcement, I
have settled on a design that will be very hard to shake off: a 3D film… in a
box. This is undoubtedly an ambitious concept,
but I know that I can certainly do this.
I know I can.
