Topic: Darkness

Hello friends. It's been quite awhile since I've been on these forums, and for those of you who don't know me I was a brickfilmer back in 2009-2010 that became popular for films such as Stars, Night of Problems, A Brighter Past, and Early Mornings.

And now, I plan a return.

That is a posted I created with the aid of Cartoonkid98 for a project called, you guessed it, "Darkness". It may be a tad difficult to read and I'll fix that later on. Anyway it's not going to be anything big and fancy. In fact I'm more limited than ever since I've been living in a trailer and really have no desk space. But luckily this sort of storyline relies on simple locations with simple actions. It's based off of a poem of my creation called "Into the Darkness Once More", and in fact the poem is going to be presented throughout the film. It's more or less the thoughts of a young man who is for the most part extremely depressed. But don't worry, it's not some cheesy poem that rhymes every line or something, it's a free verse and in fact sort of just sounds like one's inner thoughts (that's the point after all).

Anyway it's good to be back. mini/smile Be sure to tell me what you think of that poster, or if you have any questions about the storyline feel free to ask. Feel free to ask ANY questions! I will use this thread as an update thread, and I may even post sneak-peaks and so forth.

Into the darkness once more. I walk into the unknown. To a far better life than I've ever known.

Re: Darkness

This sounds pretty cool, I like the simplicity of the poster, I've always like simple movie posters. I'm glad to see that you're returning, I'm looking forward to what you'll do with this sort of film. mini/smile

Re: Darkness

Scypax!! mini/bigsmile It's great to have you back!!  This project sounds very interesting.  I wish you luck on it.

Re: Darkness

I for one would like to know more of the plotline. The poster looks fantastic by the way!

Re: Darkness

Looks very simple and elegant. I like it.

Re: Darkness

Thank you so much for the warm welcome back guys. mini/smile 

In response to co0lwill, I've been thinking how to summarize an already simplified plot so forgive me if it's vague. The film presents the main character's thoughts in a narration-type way. The dialogue itself is a poem I wrote, and I'd love to release that poem, but I feel I should save it until the film is finished and published. As the character speaks, the story of his past is put together little by little explaining why he's doing what he's doing present-time.

I know that's not really about the plot line itself, rather it's about how I plan on telling the story.  I just don't want to give out too many details right now because I feel like it'd be better for the film if the viewer knows as little as possible. Think of me as J.J. Abrams. I'll give you the concept, but not the story. Concept? A man is depressed about his past and we hear his deeper most thoughts. Storyline? After the film is published. mini/tongue

And if I were to ever post a teaser trailer, that would just make you wonder even more what it's about. I'd most likely include one or two shots of the film, cut to black and have one of the lines be spoken before saying "Darkness, coming soon!"

Don't you love how I went from stick figures to trying to actually draw the mini-figure? mini/XD

Re: Darkness

They're pretty good mini-figure drawings, too. mini/smile

Re: Darkness

That's an awesome looking storyboard. ( I can't even draw nice stick figures.)
