Hey folks! It's been a while since last post! I have to admit I've been slacking alot. Been gone longer than I thought I was gona be. But our assignment for this year is to produce a last film project. So here is a little preview of my assesment:
Jim is an employee contracted by the company Koyo Industries to extract helium-3 lunar soil for much needed energy back on Earth. Leaving behind his family, he is stationed for three years at the lunar base with only a robotic assistant called “R”. A satellite failure limits him to only recorded transmissions to and from Earth. During a routine rover he crashes the rover into the harvester and blacked out. Jim awakens in the infirmary and R tells him that he is recovering from injuries in an accident. A message from Koyo Industries informs that a rescue crew is on the way to repair the damaged harvester, and learns that R will not allow him outside the lunar base. Jim suspicion is aroused. Later he sabotages a gas pipe to convince R to allow him outside. Outside the base Jim found a series of antenna’s jamming live communication with earth. He discovers later logs of previous Jim clones working. Now with a clearly understanding of the nature of his existence, he explores the secret chamber with a large room beneath it. There is extensive cache of clones. He finally understood the “Three years” contract is actually the clone’s life-span.. With a dramatically ending Jim closes his eyes and fell into sleep.
A bored astronaut wakes up suddenly and received a happy New Year message in front of the computer screen. He is trying to find the rum onboard, suddenly the power took off and the gravity turns on. Seeing everything floating around and he got annoyed. He picks a tool floating around him and starts to hit the computer and power is on again, but he lost his rum. He pushed a button with a rum icon on it, sitting back and relaxing while turning the TV on. The gateway door behind him starts slowly to open. Some kind of alien thing turns up and starts walking towards the astronaut. The astronaut facing the alien with no expression, the alien opens the mouth and a bottle came out! Now with a better understanding the alien-machine thing came to deliver the rum he was asked for! A comedy from an alien turns into a rum-machine with a screen message on time estimate until arrival as ending.

Here is some examples how the R-robot will be, mostly the concepts. And the Lunar base environment from inside.
Here is the example of my second story:
A little update to my first story draft. Today we sat down with classmates and discussed a little bit about each others stories. We gave each other ideas what to do what not. And seems that it helped a lot! At least, for me. I got some feedback's from Eivind. I found out that removing the dialogue in the scene improved quite a lot both for the plot AND sequences. Because I feel it's way too much to contain in a short film, I was thinking about cutting out the scene where he crashes into harvester and blacked out. Why I did this is basically lip syncing is much time consuming, and I want to create this movie so public can understand the meaning of this without having a dialogue . Now that is success.
Some new ideas to recover the cutting scene:
Some new ideas to recover the cutting scene:
- Jim is doing a routine where he finds suspicious items like photo of his daughter or wife.
- Same picture of what he has
- Writing date behind of the photo is the same OR it can be from the past
- Merging the scene with exploring radar jammer and discovering of suspicious items in one sequence.
- Discovered previous video logs of past Jim'
