"What are you talking about?" you'll now be asking your good selves. I shall explain.
After helping out on two Jenny Ringo films with Brother Chris (and many other awesome folk) I decided to take a look at how my own list of projects had progressed.
I had a couple of treatments, a few half ideas, even more complete ideas, an unedited recorded voice over track, with bonus half finished storyboard and to finish off a handful of old scripts collecting dust.
So I decided I need to actually get some of this stuff completed. Now I need a deadline, otherwise I'm not going to get anything finished. Well I know, I have a birthday at the end of November, and after then it's Christmas and nothing ever gets done until the following January. This will be my target.
By my birthday I will complete every half finished project on my PC to start afresh in the new year...
Wait a minute, that is ridiculous. If I didn't have to waste the best part of each day at work, then maybe this task would be completed. Unfortunately I do no live in this idyllic Shangri La world. I must work. Phooey!
Ok, so I'll finish as much as I can. Let's just pick a handful of projects and I'll get those completed.
*atmospheric lightning strike* (and it;s cool as it's the Empire State Building)
I declare that by my birthday in late November, marking my 30 years upon this here Earth, I will have completed the following:
1. Complete the "Radio Play" Everyday Joe.
2. Complete my first, "professional" short film.
3. Complete the super secret script for a bonkers adventure film set in Victorian England.
If I do not fully complete the above I at least hope to:
1a. Complete the "Radio Play" Everyday Joe. (It's nearly finsihed now so I'm cheating a bit)
2a. Complete the filming for my first, "professional" short film.
3a. Complete the treatment for a bonkers adventure film set in Victorian England.
If I do not pass the above checkpoints then I will give up, I guess.
Ok, so I'd better get started. I'll try to give a little more back story to the above choices as I go. I can't honestly say I will, and I'm bound to get grumpy along the way.
I'll try to update.
As for now, I'm going to play Mass Effect 2.
