A
few weeks ago, my script writer’s group challenged me to write a script about a
ZOOM meeting. At first, I didn’t see any point in that, but then I came up with
an interesting concept.
My working title is "The ZOOM Bomber".
I
started, then stopped, then started again. Eventually I had a first draft. I
left it a couple of days and did a revision. I was worried that I may have gone
too far with the violence in the story. I do have a couple of fight scenes.
We'll see what people think. I've passed it to a few people for comments. Once
I get some feedback, I'll do another revision.
I didn’t intend
to do anything further with the script. I do plan to post a final revision on my
website, but I can't see myself making the film. I don't feel up to finding
someone else to make it.
However, I started to feel
inspired to investigate maybe doing something more with it. At one of our script
group sessions we talked about some major companies do animated storyboards to
see how a movie plays.
I did something
like that with "The Barrier" using Xtranormal. I don't think Nawmal
would work with this story because of the fight scenes (https://www.nawmal.com/). I found a story
board program on-line that I am trying out: https://wonderunit.com/storyboarder/.
It doesn't animate, just creates a series of still images, but I think that
might do for now. It has been a bit of a challenge to start using it. I did get
the first sequence of the story done. I can move on to the rest.
I used some
artificial voices to create the dialogue. They aren't licenced for commercial
use, so if I want to post the result on-line, I'll need to find another way to
do the dialogue. I know some actors and maybe I can get them to do it as a
test. That is something I would like to try out anyway.
