An Idea Is Born

I finally got my first work-out at the gym today, and boy was it satisfying! I felt more fit simply being on the elliptical for about fifteen minutes. Geoff joined me; we tried out the sauna afterwards and were both very pleased with it.

After getting all cleaned up, went to my good friend Sierra's room to watch Wall-E with her. Definitely a feel-good kind of movie.

At about nine o'clock, Geoff, John and I began our plotting... for filming of course. We quickly agreed that we should start off with a simple screenplay, possibly thirty minutes in length and fairly easy to shoot. John is already demonstrating the outstanding qualities of a director, which is really exciting. As soon as we decided to start coming up with a theme/message we want to get to our audiences, John took a glance at a poster hanging in Geoff's room of a skateboarder in mid-air after having shot up a ramp. The caption below says "Today the sidewalk, tomorrow the sky." John didn't even hesitate to suggest "possibilities and being open-minded" as our message.

We spent a good couple of hours sitting in the darkness of John's room coming up with ideas for a story. By the end of the night, we came up with a pretty decent concept that will continue to be worked upon, but is for sure going to happen. Hopefully writing will begin by the end of October (or sooner) and filming will take place in the dorms.
