More is more + an omen from the sky

This morning I heard a thud outside and saw a small puff of feathers. I then saw a large falcon fly away. Apparently it flew right into our screen porch. I took that as an omen of something. I'm now awaiting the arrival of my fake crow and real rooster's feet so I can shoot some test footage. I'm feeling like this is really going to work.

Tonight I used FCP's voice over feature to try out various voice overs for the edit. I find that the more I write, the better the film works. I originally wanted to have just a few words here and there. But I discovered that the more dialogue there is, the more anchored you feel, and the more sense it makes.

I realize most of the blog entries these days aren't too interesting. A lot of these really are production notes—notes to myself posted here so I don't lose them.

Notes on overall structure—

Intro

TOC Hey, what are these stars?
BEEP BEEP BEEP A star falls, a moon hears
BADOOM Oh no, the spinner's dead!
Requiem for a spinner

A new day
Work as usual
***Hey--what's this weird poster?
Deep in thought
The desert
TOC Hey--a green shrine
BEEP BEEP BEEP A star falls, a moon hears
BADOOM ornithine terror

Putting a puzzle together
The red room
A stiched-together tale
TOC Hrey, A tape recorder
BEEP BEEP BEEP A star falls, a moon hears
GADOOM Gas!

Denouement
