recursion
There was mention of recursion in the Inland Empire review, and the more observant of you may have noticed accounts of another recursion in previous posts. This particular recursion is the Creeping Man script that's been worked on since late last year.
In this recursion the script is got to a point where it's just about complete. Then half of it gets cut, and improved replacement scenes are started, but before much work happens a new project intrudes. The new project is then completed, and work on the improved replacement scenes for Creeping Man begins again. The script is got to a point where it's just about complete, then half of it gets cut... So far the script's been cut in half three times, the third time only a week or two ago, and true to form a brand new project appears.
The current new project is another short film consisting of three interlinked threads. One will be a relatively conventional documentary-style examination of a mysterious photo found in santiago's previous flat, and now taken to the new one. The second thread will be a more personal discussion of a painting and where art comes from. The third and final thread will take the piss out of James Cameron's Titanic in two distinct sections. Initially there'll be a discussion of why it's a shit film, and then there'll be a completely reimagined and much shorter version of the Jack and Rose romance from the movie with pretty crude paper puppets in the new flat taking all the roles.
There'll be proper actors and everything this time, as well as some help with the audio recording, so it ought to look a lot better than previous efforts. Once it's been completed and shown it'll be posted here - though since the audio won't be recorded until around mid-May it'll be around the third week of June before it appears.
In other news santiago just moved, and will shortly try to sort out an internet connection at home, which will be good for ...dead wasp, and the myspace page & website which are sitting there looking very basic and empty at present.
*Hope you appreciate the Boris/Sunn 0))) pun in the title - this stuff doesn't just write itself you know. 15/5/8 Actually if it wrote itself it might be better sometimes. The original title of this post 'sinking helle' was so poor that I've had to ditch it. I'd love to promise it won't happen again, but we all know better.*
