Long time no blog. Been busy getting this edit together and dealing with all things life-related.
I've met with both my professors, Ula and Mark, and they've graciously offered their input. Some of it I agree with, some I don't, some I don't completely understand. But it was all helpful nonetheless, in that it helped me understand how my film plays so far.
The thing they had the most to say about was "Dr. Giles" (that's the script name - he's unnamed in the film). They didn't understand what he was doing there, why he was reacting the way he was, what the purpose of the multiple brain transplants were. And I had a hard time coming up with the explanation on the spot.
I looked back on something that inspired the project: The "Pigs is Pigs" cartoon. Why was that evil dude trying to stuff that pig so much? It's not just to be evil. Evil has to want something. The pig overindulged on food and the evil scientist wanted him to regret it. He was making a point. I believe Dr. Giles is trying to make a point as well - that you should think with your head, and not the other one.
And so to emphasize that point, Alan and I recorded some voice-over narration last Friday at EXPO to make things a bit clearer. Once that and the music is laid in, I can finally begin showing the general masses!
Which means a lucky few of my friends will be asked to step aside into my edit lab... muahahaha!
