Brighter Black

I decided to do a complete rewrite of Bright Black. The old one made Bright look like too much of a psychopath as opposed to a guy who’s just having fun.

Also I got writer’s block trying to write the gunfight, which is where I stopped writing the original. Because of this, and becuase getting realistic prop guns in New York City is expensive when legal, I decided to replace the guns with shurikens and lightning. Well, okay, just shurikens. And katanas!!! It’ll all be very Snow Crash-y; Jarod Bright actually is kinda similar to Hiro Protagonist if I remember the novel correctly.

When is Snow Crash going to get adapted into a movie or video game already? Actually, to be really meta-weird, someone could code a Snow Crash action/RPG in LSL and put it on Second Life. It would be like…Third Life.

    Oh, hello, Internet. I didn’t see you there.

    But now that you’re here I suppose I should blog at you. BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGG.

    So tomorrow (well, today, technically) the Spring semester of classes at SVA start up for me. They actually started the 12th but I have no Monday classes. But yeah, when I wake up after…sleeping I’ll be heading back to my Production class. I’m excited for this semester since we’ll be able to spend the entire duration of it working on one short film. And with six months to put together ten minutes, how can I NOT make it epic?

    Anyway, the idea I’ll be proposing is “Bright Black,” a short glimpse into the life of a manic secret agent who thinks he has the best job in the world. And 99% of the lighting used will be black light.

    I think it’s going to work out quite well; shooting in a studio won’t be a problem since most of the light will be focused outside revealing areas. I’m hoping that in the darkness I can create the illusion that the space is larger or more complex than it really is.

    I’ve got a work-in-progress of the script up right now. Less than two thirds of the whole thing are written so far, but I know where I’m going with it.

    I’m hoping to cast Santo Ciaravino in the lead role if he can work with me again. He played Mike in “The Drawing Board,” which is the movie I made for last semester’s final project. You can watch it and most of my other half-decent stuff on my Vimeo page.

    It’s almost 3 AM and I should sleep now so more blaggitying later.
