I hopped Amtrak to hit the Big Apple and it was on time all the way, Can't quite believe it. But it was a well-spent 9 hours. I can't work on PM's script because my Final Draft only works on my Mac Mini, so I used the time to work out what I'd need in the way of imagery to accompany a reading of the first bit of The Alice '65.
I'm at 40, right now, and could easily double it...but I need to go through and see how it feels. Again. I've only done this twice, already, and changed a couple bits around and added others. These are just preliminary sketches done on half-sheets of used typing paper I've folded over...though done in a bit of detail so I don't get lost. Just like storyboards.
I may still cut some of them out. I'm a bit image-heavy at the beginning. Still, it's a fairly solid start. Adam gets ready for work, rides the underground, goes to Meryton, remembers an argument with Vincent, his box, Chats with Elizabeth, finishes a book and makes a cup of tea after recalling a small argument with Elizabeth.
I'm using this guy as the model for Adam; he's the one on the cover and pretty much fits him. When I do the final images, I'll be making each one more precise than I usually do., so I've got lots of shots of him.
That's the first 6.5 pages of the book so are meant to compliment what's being read aloud. I'll probably play around with it a lot more till I'm happy enough, and a lot depends on how long the reading takes. That awful one was 12 minutes long...and is still up. They're still ignoring me.
Not happy about that...
Tomorrow is packing up a high-end library of about 99 books. I'm not slated to return to Buffalo till Tuesday night on the late flight, just to be safe. Then next weekend is in Oakland.
