Following on from Turn going live now My Ball goes online. Enjoy!

Yes, finally I wrote something for My Ball! YAY …now I have something down on paper… now I can start showing it to people and get their opinions. All this time I had this idea in my head which was no good for anyone.

It didn’t take that much effort to sit down at the computer and type out all two pages that the first draft came to. Next draft I may even beef it up to a massive three pages. Three minutes is the most I wanted for this flick so that’s good the way it worked out in my head worked out on paper too.

I want this shot and finished edit and all by mid June so I really need to keep going and find an actor and maybe a camera Op and maybe a few more crew.

I’ve been meaning to up date this with the last few days, even got to writing something only I had to go off before I had time to finish.

This short will be a bit different to what I’ve written before… In that there will be no live sound i.e. no dialogue, although there will be a voice over.

I already know what’s going to happen in the film but as yet I’ve no script! I know the shots I want so I’m currently working out a shot list and hope to piece it all together. The voice over script must of course be written but I do have a few drafts of what will be said I just haven’t yet tied it into a script.

As I’ve said earlier I hope to shoot it on my K3, still untested but should have some idea as what results that can achieve in the next week or so. If it doesn’t work out I have considered renting a Super 16 camera for a day, doing that would allow me to record sound so I could also rent out a DAT recorder or something. But all that starts pushing up my productions costs and you have to draw the line somewhere.

Last night I was thinking over a few new outlines for the short. One that came to mind was:
A film about a man and his relationship with his ball…
