<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Pages 1, 3, take place in the real world classroom of our child actor</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We are introduced to the math class, the kid, and the piece of paper that will soon birth a doodle.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Page 4-5 shows the finishing of the doodle and his walk into imagination. he is swatted at by some other doodles. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The doodle then walks through a series of paintings, finally arriving at a sort of scratchy black inkline world which fades to just the white of the paper.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">(This will be the void stage)</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Whatever music was playing (if there was music playing) stops, and there is the empty, windy sound of the void all around.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We cut to a close up of the doodle, wearing his sad/uncomfortable face. (MAKE A SAD FACE) He continues to walk, but less surely. A piece of paper whisks in front of the doodle and obscures him for a second. Quick zoom out, emphasizing the doodle’s loneliness. We flip him back and forth as if he’s looking around. The paper moves quickly, but behind him this time. sfx: swisssshhhh</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Lucy: But Oscar, this IS a real mission! The health of the doodlelands is a good indicator of the health of the imagination dimension as a whole. They’re as important to us as the the laughter of a child, or the purr of a dragon. In these noble creatures lie the seeds of hope--their every line is a testament to the raw creative energy that lurks, unsuspected and unappreciated, within each of us. </span></div>

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></span><br />
Don Quixote de la Mancha is a complex figure. He is at once a rational thinker and a raving madman, a deep romantic trying to create a better world and a sympathy-evoking innocent. He sets off on an imagined quest to win glory for his imagined paramour, and spends the novel trying to distinguish between his hallucinations and his reality in an only slightly exaggerated description of the way we all live our lives. His intentions are forever honorable, though they never seem to come to any good, as he is too often waylaid by his own foolishness. There’s some contention that Quixote knows more than he lets on – that his insanity is an act of sorts, but we interpret him in the middle ground: not totally bonkers, but not self-aware enough to be sly about it either. Here’s what we think he would fight windmills, make declarations, and uphold the code of the knight-errant to.<br />
<br />
<strong>“Desaparecido” – Manu Chao</strong><br />
The sun-drenched tones of Manu Chao would definitely be Don Quixote’s go-to soundtrack for wandering around with Sancho Panza in the Spanish sun.<br />
<strong>“I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” — The Beach Boys</strong><br />
A perfect song about trying to find your place in a world that doesn’t make sense to you, sung by a classically optimistic band that would appeal to our hero’s innocent enthusiasm. Plus, maybe he could have a moment of self-realization when he hits the lines “They say I got brains/ But they ain’t doing me no good/ I wish they could…”<br />
<strong>“Where Do My Bluebird Fly” — The Tallest Man on Earth</strong><br />
We think Don Quixote would appreciate the almost painful beauty of this song, sorrowful fever dream music for his lonely adventuring.<br />
<strong>“(Have You Ever Been To) Electric Ladyland” — Jimi Hendrix</strong><br />
We just want to know what Don Quixote would hallucinate Electric Ladyland to be. We think he’d have fun with this song – after all, every lovable lunatic we know is a Hendrix fan.<br />
<strong>“This Year” — The Mountain Goats</strong><br />
Any gentleman who has gone mad with chivalry from reading too many books about knights would also have to be into the hyper-literary Mountain Goats. There’s just no other way.<br />
<strong>“I Want to Know What Love Is” — Foreigner</strong><br />
Our hero is a hopeless romantic, for sure, and he’d totally be into cheesy 80s rock songs. But his belief in the rigidity of right and wrong and the purity of love is what keeps him going through beatings and giants, through enchantments and humiliations, so there are worse things.<br />
<strong>“Blowin’ In The Wind” — Bob Dylan</strong><br />
While Dylan isn’t necessarily the picture of the chivalrous knight in real life, this classic track would definitely appeal to a wandering adventurer trying to instill some good in the world.<br />
<strong>“Such Great Heights” — The Postal Service</strong><br />
All idealistic, semi-dorky lovers dig the Postal Service. Also, this is a song about overcoming obstacles in the face of naysayers, something that we think Quixote would probably identify with.<br />
<strong>“Love Vigilantes” (New Order Cover) — Iron & Wine</strong><br />
This song manages to be both chivalrous and super wholesome, but not obnoxious, which is something of a feat. We imagine Don Quixote listening to this track and wishing he had a wife and family of his own.<br />
<strong>“Hands of Time” — Ron Sexsmith</strong><br />
In a certain sense, Don Quixote is just an aging man looking for an adventure to help him in the fight against his mortality. Like so much else in Quixote’s story, it’s a losing battle.Herreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244144894210614556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-30013998239942791842011-04-11T00:11:00.000-04:002011-04-11T00:11:04.245-04:00SciFi music?<a href="http://vimeo.com/19902008">This</a> would be great backround music for the sci-fi world maybe?Herreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244144894210614556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-46653533902469556452011-04-08T18:26:00.003-04:002011-04-08T18:49:01.814-04:00Lit Episode Set References<div style="text-align: left;">Windmill:</div><br />

Personifying simple objects works here (i think) by using simple backgrounds/props with clearly communicated situations.

They leave, we see them pass the window outside in their cool little vehicle, and then the camera sinks/zooms to the cover of the book she left behind “Don Quixote” <br /><br />Transition to theme song with flipping pages of book – go through a square that applies to every episode.<br /><br />KNIGHTS: cut out paper/engraving/things? DONQUIXOTE (large and small) /SANCHO PANZA: full felt? OGRE: hand puppet?<br /><br />After theme song, we see a forest and their vehicle lands in some tree branches in the top of the screen (we don’t see the top very well) and then it just drops them out of the bottom. Unphased, they stand up and brush themselves off, only to bowled over again by an ogre or whatevs. While they’re standing up again, a group of three knights does the same thing. The knights apologize profusely and ask where the ogre went (they all are jangly and a little ridiculous talk very together and don’t give lucy and oscar much chance to respond between them). They’re very chivalrous but dumb – oscar’s hurt but they’re fussing over Lucy, swearing vengeance on the ogre. Brush them off, Oscar says okay so WHAT are we looking for? Lucy says A Knight! Oscars protests but Lucy’s already headed off towards a loud sound and Oscar is left alone in the clearing looking confused. He looks to the sock monkey for support and sees his retreating form next to Lucy. We hear yelling (aaaa!) and they enter a field to see a horse grazing next to a windmill. They’re confused, they look around, then notice that Don Quixote is hung off screen from the windmill yelling ayuda ayuda. He rotates into view and they help him down. They ask him his name, he answers with his huge official title with various deeds “defeater__, vanquisher of__, considerer of doing x” Then he says that they shouldn’t be wandering alone because there are giants/ogres about! Then he ‘sees’ one and tries to ride off but can’t mount the horse. He needs help, a hand reaches down and helps him, they high five/thumbsup, he’s gone. Sancho Panza comes up, he says have you seen this guy, he’s missing his [insert integral part of the horse paraphernalia]. We hear a crash. Oscar goes off on Don Quixote saying why were looking for him, what screwup. Sancho Panza defends him, saying he’s down to earth, [insert more compliments], the other knights are wack. Oscar remains unconvinied, Lucy steps in like naw man hold on.<br /><br />TRANSITION to historical explanation:<br /><br />-insert Jonathan’s sketchbook pages- flat flat imagery. Figure out Lucy’s speech behind it – research Cervantes process<br />Lucy's speech characters - flat profile paper/silhouettes characters<br /><br />Sancho Panza is like yup, Oscar says something pithy applying the lesson: personalize, draw from your own life, easy to draw from your own experience, think of your character as a person – make it 3D. Okay so you just need to look at yourself – Oscar has a thought bubble with a mirror and lucy says what a great idea! And grabs the mirror out of his thought bubble. They thank him and ask him for ideas for more storytellers. He says I have JUST the guy, and they go to a pier at the end of the field and round some trees to reveal the steampowered paddleboat. They get on the small version, then it cuts to the inbetween set walking along the top of the steamboat amidst crowds etc. We hear some powerful oration and our heads turn. We head towards some tighter concentration of people and the talking gets louder. Then we cut to seeing the crowd from the front and we can see just his hands gesturing, and then we see us push through the crowds in front (CROWDS: paper cutouts in back, simple felt literary characters in front (harry potter with lightbulb?) He finishes his story, switch shots from Mark twain view to our view, and the crowd reveals him (still on hands and then pan up to face.) Mark Twain is relaxing, Lucy and Oscar approach him. Mark Twain recognizes them as Imaginauts “Oh! Hello! How are things? How can I help you?” They say well! We have this kid with this problem. Can you tell us how to write stories stories? And he cuts them off, answering, "Say no more! Just a little castor oil and a good whupping will get him right as rain!" (LOL dark humor?) Mark Twain tells them to look for the everyday ridiculous and talks to the Imaginauts about satire. MT uses passerby on the boat to illustrate how to tell stories, using their actions and narrating over them. His last piece of advice should be comical, irrelevant, and maybe irreverent. The Imaginauts ask him if there might be anything else they need to do, and MT responds: "Oh well I happen to have an appointment in the Sci Fi City, if you'd like to accompany me, I can reveal to you the secret of the sages on the way. Would you like to join me on my aerial transportation basket? [hot air balloon]" We end up with an object (magnifying glass? Ear trumpet? Telescope?) While Mark Twain is talking, he’s not just addressing us, he’s addressing his friends around him (crowds around, anansi sitting across from him/near him).<br /><br /><div>We can inflate the balloon in real time, and have deus ex machina hands from above tie it off. MT says, "Thanks Hans!" The three enter the hot air balloon.</div><div><br /></div><div>There should be a transition scene from the Sci Fi City where the three of them are talking on the hot air balloon.</div><div><br />CROWD FOREGROUND/CROWD BACKGROUND: brer rabbit, chicken little, aesop fable characters, etc. Paper cutouts, connected (foreground) paper cutouts/silhouetted.

H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, Poe, ? - WHAT IF?<br />-look inside<br />-look outside<br />-synthesize something new<br /><br />Kirsten: Research Mark Twain’s anecdotes? How to write stories.<br />HA: READ DON QUIXOTE<br />Jonathan: Research cervantes’ process for lucy’s speech.<br />Allie: ?<br /><br />Mark Twain says okay guys - I have an appointment to make with an old friend. Would you like to come along for the ride? (OF COURSE!) There is a balloon pad on the end of the paddle boat which they climb into and sail off into the blue . Rise through the clouds, pop out the top, 'we're so high!' 'nay it's chill'. no one sees anything, rocket cars drive by. Zoom way out/cut way out and see them directly below the enormous city. Then cut to them already docked and exiting the balloon. Mark Twain spies/is spied by/ Isaac Asimov accompanied by robot and investigator. Isaac hails him "oh i am so glad you are here!" the robot and investigator start asking questions and they all bustle off with some short goodbye like 'you guys are fine here, right?' oh wait! you will need this: mark twain grabs the magnifying glass from the detective and gives it to them. The imaginauts are left alone in this new city.<br /><br />INVESTIGATOR+ROBOT INVESTIGATOR: rectangles - fold-out arms - paper - cereal boxes?<br />BUS DRIVER: silhouette paper<br />BACKGROUND CROWD: modified riverboat crowd<br />FRONT CROWD/CROWD: individual paper puppets (sketchy alley dude/talking fish/leaking robot/slimy dude)<br /><br />A sci fi bus comes, and the driver stops to ask if they're getting on. Not sure what to do in this strange, new city, they hop on! Oscar and Lucy sit next to a robot guy who's leaking oil, so they freak out and move seats, only to realize they're sitting next to a gross slimey guy. LOL. Very uncomfortable, the Imaginauts look out the bus window to concentrate on something a little more pleasant.<br /><br />This is a great transition to the sci fi city in the sky! We see images blur by at bus speed that introduces us to the various goings on of the city. Possibilities: sketch alley dude selling lungs to a talking fish! etc etc The Imaginauts are lost in excitement seeing all these new things, and end up at the end of the line, which is a junkyard.<br /><br />The Imaginauts get off the bus, totally lost and confused. Lucy is kind of upset and unhappy, thinking that the sci fi city in the sky is rather unsophisticated and too ridiculous. She thinks that this world is rather cramped, a shout-out to an Isaac Asimov novel about agoraphobia. "This place is so ungrounded in reality!" They take out their handheld tech to find their location (like a mini Computer) but it's broken. They look around the junkyard trying to find parts that would fix it, and at the junkyard they find this mechanic fixer upper of broken things, like that guy in astroboy!<br /><br />MECHANIC: full felt/other massive<br /><br />The mechanic explains to the Imaginauts that sci fi literature is like a crystal ball to see into the future.<br />Lucy: But we can never predict the future<br />Mechanic: But we gotta start somewhere!<br />Mechanic explains how technology today is just an idea/dream from the past. Cellphone?<br /><br />Imaginauts pick up important object: an old school lightbulb. Getitgetit LOL.<br />They explain how being able to capture light into a bulb was once only a dream for the people of the past. Lesson, lesson, lesson. Imaginauts realize they need to get back to the problem character of the episode!<br />Oscar: Hey I think we need to get back now. Thanks!<br />Mechanic: Oh, do you want to take my shortcut?<br />Some crazy jetpack, sex, violence, crazy.<br /><br />Back to the tower!<br />They get literally kicked out of the junkyard - they fall off screen, we cut to the tower and hear faint screaming getting louder, tower looks up, leans out, sticks its tongue out just in time to catch them and slurp them back in. shebam. They check in on the kid on the computer - kid's still struggling, got crazy scribbling and paper all over everything - quick cuts to *DUNN* piece of paper *DUNN* scribbles *DUNN* kid slumped over at the desk, pencil poised. We see them in a poster in reality-suits, cut to ear close up, sound effects tell us they've dropped down and they're climbing his shoulder, they enter the shot with the ear, an arm shoots out with each object, as they are announced, zoom out to see oscar and the sock monkey holding them, lucy saves him from falling off. they say a ceremonial rhyme to sum up each object as they throw the things in - pause and replay the important scene for each object as it goes in. follow the last object down into the blackness, blackness resolves itself into shapes of frantic busy people, someone catches the objects, puts them in a container, shoves it into a processing unit, spark spark zap quick zoom out to kid's wide-open eyes (quick fluid simple), eyes look down, he starts writing furiously. In the background the imaginauts go back into the picture frame and high five. Credits roll and we see them hanging the kid's ID on a wall full of them.<br /><br />KID: cut paper pictures (2D? 3D? Oliver herring?)<br />KID EAR CLOSE-UP: paper mache<br /><br />Some ideas:<br />-The Imaginauts encounter a stop sign for a crosswalk. Pause for 20 sec waiting for it to changes. They walk.<br />-scorpion and frog in background on river boat<br />-don't forget: mention the kid at some point again.<br />-sock monkey has to do the rhyme one time<br />-important quotes are emphasized and appear on scrolls and then are collected by a little quote creature.</div>Alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10175490765546188192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-86104264930589001372011-02-23T16:19:00.001-05:002011-02-23T16:19:48.200-05:00Music makerCheck it out:<br /><a href="http://www.drumbot.com/projects/key_chords/">http://www.drumbot.com/projects/key_chords/</a><br /><br />Robert showed me the other day, it's an easy way for us to make some musical experiments without musical skill!Hat Ranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318129609839575558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-26427977364283365892011-02-18T15:55:00.000-05:002011-02-18T15:55:03.892-05:00Episode: DesignProblem: Kid needs to clean his room, but doesn't exactly know how/what/when/where.

Here is what Jonathan and I picked out for colors. We thought it would be best to get one of each color and then try and mix them when we need more specific hues. These 9 skeins(?) cost approx. $144.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><u>We need to put in this order today before 5</u></div> but won't do it until we hear from you guys that these are okay. If there is a color that you need that you don't think we can make from the colors here, say so. Keep in mind that mixing colors is not like paint, and they will look more like the natural 'brown' color with different colored strands than a solid dye color.Herreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244144894210614556noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-34854598284669805812011-02-15T15:59:00.000-05:002011-02-15T15:59:37.344-05:00Homework for Friday 2/18On Sunday before we left, Ha, Jonathan, Kirsten and I decided on 2:30 at Cabell for our Friday meeting, where we would begin felting our puppets and discuss the Design and TV/Video/Animation episodes (alternatively, we could begin actually storyboarding the literature episode?). (Allie does that time work for you?)<br />
<br />
SO! To accomplish this, our group homework is:<br />

- Decide on the colors your puppet will require and what he/she will wear. We thought it would be pretty excellent to dress the same as our puppets, so pick clothes that you own and that can be easily simplified into puppet form (We will probs be making tiny clothes for them.)<br />
<i>---Kirsten - bring your huge box of barbie doll clothes plz!</i><br />
<b style="font-style: italic;">WE WILL NEED TO HAVE THIS INFO TOGETHER BEFORE FRIDAY. </b>Since we need to order the roving before Friday, we need to know what colors to order. Also, if we need to arrange a roving shopping trip, it will probably need to be either before Friday or on Friday morning before the meeting.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
- Do some background research on Design and or TV/Video/Animation (look over old blog posts to refresh your memory about what we've already worked out) so that we can start throwing around world ideas and main messages.<br />
<br />
<br />
Other notes from the Sunday meeting:<br />
- The puppets will probably have no wire frame - they will be solid felt, since they are not big enough to merit hollow interiors to save materials.<br />
- We'll probably use the stick-and-wire method of controlling the puppets from below, but that needs more work. For now, we'll work on making the puppet bodies so that our control experiments will be more informative.<br />
- The puppets will be about Barbie height, but normal human proportions, not stick-bug proportions.<br />
- Our self-puppets' defining features will be something like:<br />
-Allie: long blonde hair, blue eyes<br />
-Emily: blue eyes, brown hair in little buns<br />
-Ha: asian, long dark brown hair<br />
-Kirsten: long dark brown hair, side part, brown eyes<br />
-Jonathan: beard, glasses, short hair.<br />
Of course we'll do what we can to make them look as much like us as possible, but if they all come out looking like <a href="http://img.coplusk.net/originals/0005/5068/P3140009_1237664111.jpg">this</a>, at least we will know who is who. (Although <a href="http://www.stephaniemetz.com/Shameless.html">this</a> is our <a href="http://www.stephaniemetz.com/Venus.html">goal</a>, of course)<br />

<br />
<a href="http://thefiberwarehouse.com/products/">The Fiber Warehouse</a> (aka mystery phone number guy):<br />
Undyed is 13.50/lb, Dyed is 15.70/lb<br />
He doesn't ship till Friday, so he said we'd probably get it by Monday or Tuesday.<br />
POTENTIAL PROBLEM: do we have to buy 1lb at a time? Can we buy less than a lb. of any one color? A pound is a LOT, right?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.harrisville.com/proddetail.php?prod=Fleece">Harrisville Designs</a> (aka the other place VCU orders from)<br />
$16/ half lb. bag.<br />
Would probably ship 3-5 days after we order, plus delivery time.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hollyspringhomespun.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104&products_id=1412&zenid=1e52a3b54d8f269469c3664411fabfa4">Holly Spring Homespun</a> - I called the Yarn Lounge in Carytown and they said the closest place they knew of to buy roving is this place. It's about a 45 minute drive from here.<br />
They don't have a wide selection, but their site lists a pack of rainbow colors (see link) for $24. I THINK it's 6 oz. total, and the lady kept going on about how it was sooo much more than we needed, but she doesn't really know what we're doing.... anyway, it's an option we could get immediately and use as a stopgap while we waited for another order to ship, since time is of the essence.<br />
<br />
We also have the option of buying little starter bags from places like Ben Franklin or Kmart I think - they sell little assortment packs of 1.76 oz. with 8 colors for something like $11, or individual color .22 oz. packets for $3/ea. Couldn't confirm the availability at Kmart but Ben Franklin said they have it. Hobby Lobby out in Short Pump sells .25 oz packets of 2 colors for $2.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Fiber Warehouse is by far the cheapest, and it's actually the fastest shipper compared VCU's other place. The places we can drive to seem to be marked way up in price and we'd have to drive quite a little bit. I suggest we order from the Fiber Warehouse asap, and in the meantime get some of the little packs to tide us over and get us started working.Herreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244144894210614556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625283439608085213.post-18947598887607265542011-02-10T22:08:00.000-05:002011-02-10T22:08:00.104-05:00old wonky notes from ha's house<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />
