I think i can say, that this is a very BROAD range of ages, experiences, lifestyles, here on WS&S, yes? Some of you have been in battle for your countries, some of you have policed your states and provinces, others have taught, others have been or are still students, others still are everyday working people. This is a VERY broad collective group of people, yes?
we as that broad group of people, enjoy various media ranging from web to film to real life. We have all seen youtube videos on survival, shelters, firemaking, end of the world as we know it etc etc.......we have experienced such life, we practice it daily, some of us pay the ultimate sacrifice, some of us teach those skills, some of us film those experiences.......
......
rambling aside, hows you all feel about something way outside the social norms of film-making? something that spans the 80s music era, the Wolverines! film era, the end of the world, nukes, zombies, survival era, a film that encompasses the 80s onward, featuring music, emotions, horror, war, death, life, one mans quest, survival skills, life in the city, the emotions of a man and his family trapped in the city, fighting to stay alive, fleeing, wilderness, hardship, love, triumph, battle, horror, survival in extreme conditions, and finally, the entire sequence filmed and unedited, presented to the world as an art film release?
I have spent many hours in my own mind, picturing such a film, waking up in the middle of the night sweating profusely, running to write down flashes of thoughts. Slamming my truck to stop in the middle of rush hour to jot down camera angles and music appropriate to such scenes. Driving the GF nuts by reviewing songs from the early 80's and 90's over and over, going as far as tape recording them and driving to various areas of the country, playing said music to see if it will work with the scene in question.
I have a an idea for a very different film, and in 2010, i plan to work my arse off for the sole reason of buying a pro grade movie camera, so i can film what i have in mind.
think music by Scorpions (winds of change), to Haddaway (what is love) to Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, VNV nation, Cradle Of Filth, Dropkick Murphies, The real mackenzies etc. Think disturbing footage of the DTES in Vancouver, war, violence, nukes, death, starvation, and fire, life, shelter, triumph, love.
I have a vision, and frankly it scares the crap out of me. Never before have i ever had so many thoughts, and so many ideas, and so many pictures in my mind.
I have to get this out. expect something interesting in late 2010.
