Did you see it? Did you read it? Did you get a chance to read "We Never Knew". It was the product of my imagination at work. LOL!! No really, I did write it. I haven't tried to write anything really creative in a very, very long time. I am happy with what I came up with.
It started with my desire to be more creative in my writing. Hence the blogs. Then this weekend Berry commented that I need to be more descriptive in my writing. While surfing VIMEO I watched a movie called "Clone Killer". vimeo.com/15211460 It was some dude shooting his clones in a really cool maze. Also, I have been reading "Decision Points" ( George Bush's Memoir ). So today right before lunch, I was mediating on these things and came up with a picture in my head of a warn out man waking down a lonely street. I first wrote about 6 lines. I reread them and it didn't even come close to what I was picturing in my head. I thought a bit longer and used what I had written and expanded from there. Taking from the political memoirs of Bush and the fight for your life feeling of the VIMEO video. And then there you go, a creative piece of writing.
As I was writing it I was imagining how I would film it. I thought of some cool ideas like Visual flashbacks as this haggard man walks along the lonely street while he narrates the story. The flashbacks are quick and last only a few seconds. They are from the past before the events took place. Another of the flashes would be flash forwards to the future mirroring his present. For example I would film him walking in a similar fashion in the future in a tunnel under the white house. ( That idea came from my friend Jan ). Anyway, I had a good time writing it.
Tonight I wanted to study more on Final Cut Express, but ended up writing this blog and just hanging out with Heather and Tami. Time well spent. :) I am looking forward to putting writing more on the story I started this afternoon. I just hope that my creative juices continue to flow.
Blog you later!
