What? Films?
As all of you had better recall, last year I made some films: these two and then another named "S.C." that the Internet Movie Database won't recognize, thank you kindly. This year, I have made zero. I will not stand for it.
So I have this film kinda in mind, based on the fact that I now have two wireless mics (thank you, Edward and Annie), but a crappy tripod). And if you help flesh out this idea, you will be in the credits of the film as "Idea Dude" or "Helper Person" or "Director." This is the idea for one scene: Park bench is prominent in foreground. In background, we see/hear two people talking and walking toward the bench. One of them says, "Hey, do you mind if we sit down on the bench." And person two points to the bench in the foreground and says, "This bench?" And person one says, "Um, hmm, actually, how about that bench over there? So they walk off camera, continuing to talk, while the camera remains on the unsat bench. They talk for a bit longer, and then...cut, to another scene where somehow the expectations of what you should be seeing on-screen are subverted in a similar manner. I may call it "Forced Perspective."
The problems: (a) I only have a couple other ideas for scenes, and I (b) wonder if it will get old quickly, and (c) I need someway to link it together, thematically -- through the discussion the couple has, perhaps? -- lest (d) it become a one-joke film that gets old fast. Also, I need (e) an actress and (f) an actor and (g) talent. And (h) time, as always.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
