<\/p>\nGetting\u00a0to work on many large and small films, I have seen a variety of methods employed in story telling over the years. \u00a0The person whom I most identify with in his process is James Cameron. \u00a0I worked on Avatar for 2 1\/2 years and witnessed how he developed a film from a script. \u00a0Out of the other big name directors whose films I’ve had the privilege to be a part of – Spielberg and Peter Jackson specifically – Jim made the most sense to me. \u00a0He told me once “make the films YOU want to see”, and that stuck ever since.<\/p>\n
My entire career has been helping\u00a0other story tellers dreams come true, so I\u00a0decided it is my turn. \u00a0 From the time I was a kid visiting my dad on movie sets, to college, to my 1st job in “the industry” doing storyboards on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I have been grooming myself for this moment. \u00a0But what did I want to say? \u00a0What is the message of this first story of mine?<\/p>\n
I poured myself a modest glass of Glenfarclas 105 single malt whiskey, put on the Morhpine station on Pandora, sat on my couch and began to labor out notions of what I wanted to voice for or against. \u00a0Determining which of Earth’s problems to solve first is no small undertaking. \u00a0I knew it had to be something most of us could relate to, something practical and pertinent to the day.<\/p>\n
As soon as I recognized what was in plain sight, \u00a0my animated parable was quite forthcoming. \u00a0I sat at my desk and wrote as fast as I could. \u00a0The pen was leading my hand from the opening and character establishing, to the second act conflict, to the 3rd act resolution. \u00a0I had never written a complete script prior to this, but my 1st revision was miraculously done in 30 minutes!<\/p>\n
I spent the next month revising and rewriting\u00a0a few things, cutting out a few others, but my script was locked within a month and a half. \u00a0The next question is: \u00a0where will I get the money or time to do this? \u00a0I still don’t have the answer to the 1st half of that question, but the latter came after BO5A \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
