The Script Has Been Choosen

So Devon and I were sitting around last weekend and we nailed down which script we will be shooting when the time comes to start this. The script is tentatively named “Flander’s Field”. When I’m starting out a script, I try to name it after the setting so that it is easy for me to remember. I think this name will stick however. I’ve been trying to work on background stories for these “case files” and in coming up with a particular number convention I have decided also to incorporating a short description title for easy reference.

So as of now, a case file would look something like: “GBYVR – 000104 – Flander’s Field”. That’s of course not final, but that’s something of what the format is looking like at the moment.

The three characters I have been writing about are Kemp, Stiltz and Sam. They each have their own very specific personalities and mesh well, or not, together. Flander’s Field follows the first days of Sam in one of the Ghostbusters franchises.

Even though Sam is a very large and strong man, he has to overcome certain fears and challenges every Ghostbuster does when they are on the job.

Sam acts alone in this piece, next to the ghost of course, so this script is ideal for a first time flick. The ghost design this time around is something of a Chinese new years dragon. Devon is hard at work coming up with some design suggestions. When I see something I like, we’ll begin final designs and construction of the beast.

Knowing what script we are using is a great weight off my shoulders. Before this, I have been mentally planning out how to do every one of my scripts, so that when the time came to decide I would have a vague idea of what I needed for each flick. With the other scripts out of the way I can now concentrate on what I need.

Before doing this though we will need to do a very in-expensive live action test. This is for my own personal piece of mind. I refuse to do anything that will be released to the public if it does not meet a certain bar of excellence. And please believe me when I say that my bar is extremely high. I have, in fact, made a list of things that need to be done before I put any real money and time into this. Next post will be this list and details on each of the articles therein.
