Topic: "Swing swing" update thread

This is a basic outline for a story I have in mind. It's about some kids planning to escape from the kindergarten.
The grammar may not be perfect, as english is not my main language.  Anyway, it should not be distracting.

Tim looks around. The same walls, the same toys... every day. Always. Tim has learned how to use a clock. Daddy learned him. He looks up at the clock hanging on the wall. It says half past ten, it's time to go outside. He's not standing up yet, he's waiting until everybody else goes out. On the deep blue sky he can see some dark clouds moving closer and closer. It has happened so many times before, it's going to rain. John walks towards him. “Why aren't you playing with us?” John asks. “I have big plans,” Tim answers. “I'm going to escape, and you can join me”. “Sure,” Jim says. He waits a couple of seconds, then he says: “I just have to ask my parents first”. Tim looks at John. “Why, are you four years or something?” John opens his mouth to say something, but closes it with a couple of tears in his eyes. He opens his mouth again, and says: “I'll join you”.

“Wake up!” Tim jumps out of bed, gets dressed and runs downstairs. He can't wait to plan the escape. Tim is met by an upset John: “Have you heard the latest news?” “No, what is it?” Tim asks in a curious way, he can't wait to hear the latest news. John waits until Tims dad has driven away, then he says: “Tommy got the swing to go all the way round”. “That's unbelievable!” Tim screams. This is the only thing people are talking about the rest of the day. “John, I've got an idea!” “What?” asks John, though he doesn't really seem interested at all. “We can use the swing to escape!” John waits for three seconds or so, then he says: “I have a better idea, we can use the see-saw”.

Later in the script there'll be a bulldozer pushing the down the fence around the kindergarten.

Post any suggestions, ideas or just feedback below! Anything is appreciated!

Nice!
Maybe the Kindergarden teacher is really a mutant that tries to kill Tim and John?

Great! Pics? Or is it too early?

Re: "Swing swing" update thread

It's too early to post pics, as I am not even finished scripting yet.
There'll be pictures when the project gets to the production stage. mini/smile

Pretty good idea, although I don't think a teacher that tries to kill the kids should be added in it, that'd be a bit weird. Is it going to be a comedy or more of a dramatic-escape kind of film? And if you wanted, I could maybe be a co-writer.

Well I think that maybe the teacher would really want to slap those kids, even if they wouldn't do anything; she just hates them. I also think there could be a bit with the school cleaner who'd be drunk, so Tim and John would easily get past him.

Good idea! By the way, I'll maybe need some CGI for the movie, so if there's anybody at the forums that's good at it, please let me know.
