This morning we watched The Black Hole; it was clever enough, but suffered from the usual irritating filmic tendency to ignore the laws of science and re-define just what a black hole is. Watch it below, and you'll see what I mean...
...maybe I should just lighten up about the whole scientific accuracy thing, but it irritates me when film-makers just decide to ignore whatever's inconvenient.
After watching the short, we went through Choices, a short script that we have to film over the weekend of November 20th and 21st. We'll need to do re-writes; there are far too many characters (nine) for such a short film, most of whom contribute one or two lines or less, the character is passive, and --to be frank-- the ending is feeble. We covered the logline (elevator pitch), the short summary of the film
We've had our groups assigned, and I have drifted into the role of Executive Producer, together with Baylea, who is also unit camera-person (she will be filming us filming the script, if this works out).
Next we need to revise the script...
...more later!
