First off, I've decided to refer to my work here on LUNAR B as a movie and not a motion picture, or a film, or a screenpoem, or a hekatebolos. Though all are good, I'm thinking that bringing the loftiness of those terms back to "Movie" will give it more ascendancy, rising, leverage, and so forth than any of the other terms.
B and I worked out basic tasks for the construction of the 1st Sequence of the movie, which is known in my original outline as "1. The Establishment of the Big B Moonshot Program.". I broke down the fifteen original steps into 6 Sequences for the writing of the script and planning purposes:
1st Sequence is composed singularly of "1. The Establishment of the Big B Moonshot Program."
2nd Sequence is composed of "2. The Building of the Components.; 3. The Testing of the Components.; 4. The Big B Simulator."
3rd Sequence is composed of "5. The Competition.; 6. The Press Conferences."
4th Sequence is composed of "7. Launch.; 8. Moonflight."
5th Sequence is composed of "9. Lunar Orbit.; 10. Big B has landed.; 11. Big B's Big Rover.; 12. Big B's Live Television Feed." The 5th Sequence has a completed working edition to the production credit.
6th Sequence is composed of "13. Big B returns to Earth.; 14. Splashdown, Big B Style.; 15. Big B at the Crossroads (Sequel Engine)."
**************************GUERILLA SOAP*****************************************
In building the 1st Sequence, I am beginning to gather the elements of Big B, a canted view of the American Interior wrought with diminished conditions, a fascination with guerilla warfare and its derivative being that of diminished civil conditions, the need for a new educational system to account for these measures and the advancement of natural resource management and space-exploration with an emphasis of terraforming and colonization. These are very 'busy' topics within themselves, and I am not terribly advocating any of them... except for the terraforming and resource management, which is the endstate of the Hekatebolos and encompass all of the other topics. The idea here is to alleviate the "too serious about self" without diminishing ego-formed individual achievement. The ideas of advocacy need to be held strictly to "work"....
I will compose the first sequence almost entirely, except for what Big B and I have called "Notion and Decision". As B posted earlier, our time standard for these tasks is August 7th, 2008. Though they are seperate tasks I will probably have to up my time to July 31st to allow B time to assess what I've written and properly build integrating elements so it can be attached to the transitional and junctured end of the sequence.
The opening line of dialogue will be "Guerilla Soap is my only hope..."
The opening shot will be Big B moving along the river silhouetted in front of a huge, low, full moon.
