Alright, to kickstart my first ever contribution to this blog here, I am going to reveal some of my thoughts going into this project. Hopefully, it shall and will be my debut involvement in a film project and I am going to help Melvin materalise his story into a real short film and make his Damien come to life. First and foremost, for anyone's information here, I shall reveal our objectives going into this.
1) For fun. (We are bored with our NS lives and we need a stimulus, like a creative interesting project, to rejuvenate us.)
2)For experience. (Test the waters, see how it goes. Prepare us for 'The Big One')
3)For credibility and credentials. (Well that is if it ever turns out to be good enough to be recognised, and screened. Have faith.)
4)Build confidence. (We need it, we are virgin noobs)
Well, I agreed to go into this as I do recognise the potential of Melvin's concept and idea here. Damien, who i sees as a creepy lovelorn stalker with a tender side, is controversial and different. He is creepy and pitiful at the same time. Sweet lovelorn guys are just overdone these days, a bit of psycho factor can spice things up a lil. The vlog kind of concept and presentation is manageble, practical and unique, gives the film some sort of character and suits our resources (or lack of it) well. Basically, this film is economical, and has the potential to rise above mediocrity and stand out from all these 'artistic' shorts we have in Singapore. The never-out-of-fashion unrequited bittersweet love story, done in a refreshing style of reality-based storytelling, and throw in the creepy psycho factor. Sounds like a winner? Well we'll see. And I hope people will do see after it really becomes a motion picture.
Anyway, a main concern here. We do need a Pretty female lead. A girl who possesses the sort of charm that could stun Damien into such crazy obsession. Or at least make the whole notion seems remotely believable. A pivotal character that can define the film. And the best of all, she doesnt really even need to act. Just walk around in different outfits and act pretty, plain and simple. No brains required (not to say brainy girls are not welcomed of course). Well hopefully we can get our 'Serene' asap. Especially after posting this out. (If you can make your way to this website, I am sure you can contact at least one of us. Feel free.)
K thats all for now folks, I will return again if there are any snippets, updates, developments etc etc. Till then.
