Ok so first of all it appears that my week 2 and 3 have not been posted for some strange reason so I will pick up from where I left off. It is now week 6 and over the weeks there have been a number of changes to the film. Starting from week 3 Andi asked that I try and get my thesis sorted out before moving much further forwards with the film, so I left the script as it was for Andi to read over and concentrated on some more animation tests as well as getting my thesis topic well under way.
On my next meeting with Andi we discussed the first draft of the film. Andi said it was too ambitious and told me to throw the story aside and concentrate on the main character, Rick. Gave me the task to come up with a character bio of Rick and create a story that revolves around him rather than a story which just has him as a character within.
I have been meeting up with ex student James Lee and my composer Hania Lee quite frequently to discuss and flesh out Rick's character a little better. It is so good having a group discussion rather than sitting around a week wondering if the ideas I have work on an audience. We came up with a fairly different approach to the story having it set as an interview situation. Two characters in a room talking, a much simpler idea, where Rick's character is revealed through the events of the film.
The new idea involves Rick being seized by a suspicious law enforcement agent in Heaven who questions him in regards to recent events. Instead of selling real estate in heaven, Rick is escorting immigrants into heaven using his inside knowledge of the system... for a price of course.
