Last night I was emailing Susan (Guo). She wanted to know if she had the right site because it was all about airplanes. Then I spoke to Ben briefly today. He wanted to know what's up with all the airplanes. So it occurred to me that it's not clear to others what is the relationship between the airplanes and some future Super 8 project.
So here's what I'm thinking...
Maybe I might have some space scenes. We're surveilling someone on the ground then we pull out and see a satellite in space along with some rockets. Or maybe this is a science fiction film and the characters fly around in what is essentially a giant V-2 rocket. Or maybe this is a war mystery and the weird aircraft is part of the mystery. Or maybe the planes and rockets are in a junkyard set in back of our main character. Or maybe the character builds his own plane out of scraps. Or maybe this is Star Wars farm boy in space type show. Our character looks up in the sky and sees an Ekranoplan flying overhead or a squadron of modified batplanes. Or maybe this looks like cheap sci fi and a rocket crash lands somewhere. Or maybe our character is trapped in a rocket floating in space. Or maybe the plane is part of a top secret military installation and everyone treats the craft with wonder even though it looks to us rather stupid and dated. Or maybe our character is a kind of superhero who uses bricolage technologies sort of like MacGyver but even more primitive and stupid.
You know, it almost doesn't matter. When I get this interested in something there is almost always a payoff. But the payoff often occurs when and where I least expect it.
