almost everyone is here.
we've started by watching Flash Gordon (with the Queen soundtrack), which has a good story and excellent production values, with plenty of practical and special effects.
the lesson:
creative input > creative output.
the very definition of "writer's block" is staring at a blank sheet of paper.
so, the previous two weeks we've been seeking inspiration, studying story, observing connections, and noting stereotypes. We've watched the Matrix series (including Animatrix), Equilibrium, and the Wizard of Oz, among others. These are not shorts, but we'll get to those. Paramount to a good production is Story. We'll get the technical and artistic aspects of short production down, but the story is the most precarious, and our greatest opportunity for success.
