Purgatory...

Well, i have two thirds of my movie shot. They are a good two thirds. The sound in the bar is surprisingly good. The shots from Matts place turned out well. I have some good pieces to put together.
My third piece, the cop scene, had some complications. Apparently you have to have an important guy sign a piece of paper to use a real cop, even if theyre youre friends. So that went out the window. And using two lights, one with a blue gel on it, flashing a bounce card back and forth in front of it, i can fake a cop car off the screen.
Since halloween just passed, i know a couple girls with sexy cop outfits. This would have to be approached in a ridiculous manner. I think it can be pulled off, if i get her to wear a black shirt underneath the cleavage and maybe silkings on her legs. Put her hair up, it can totally be pulled off as an awkward semi-hot police scene.
I have a hot chick Jill. I called my ex, she has thespian experience and shes a knock-out. I may not get to film until Monday of Fall break, but i can trade gear with Postal.
The way im building my DVD i can pretty much get the other stuff to almost complete, because they will have to be compressed separatly for the separate DVD menus.

Response to some Responses

I like the ideas of multiple choices. A web of choices rather than a timeline. And im a little hesitant to make it funny, but if i got a green light then i can make some funny. Some more extreme consequences. Not crazy like off a reveene into a pit of fire, but something defining the moment more...

Alot of small little things, like spilling beer on myself or bumping into a pretty girl accidentally...

I want to minimalize the car shots, and the crash scene will be a toughie.

Alot more choices...
did i say more choices? I didnt mean like 50...but maybe with filming about 20 1 minute shots could yield into a nice 15minute piece...

Synopsis

Everything that occurs to someone throughout their existence is a continuation of the choices they made previously. Choices are the guiding factors that take people down the paths that they believe are right for them. The roads one takes is dependent upon the choices made; from the interstate-big decisions to the dirt and gravel-small road decisions. No road is without curves, turns, off-ramps, and detours.

This piece takes you to a night seemingly out of the ordinary, if you want it that way. We open with our two main characters standing around, playing pool, having a drink. Talking about this and that, girls, cars, homework, a good shot. Matt suddenly receives a text message, which says that she has just been pulled over, then a phone call, it says "Melissa," at the same time their server approaches and asks them if they'd like another drink. This is the first choice you are presented with and will define the rest of your evening.
Depending on what you choose, your evening can take many different routes. You can choose to help Melissa and go out into the cruel bustling traffic-filled world with a few drinks under your belt or stay put and ride out the bar scene.
