You need to fill in the plot holes before we even consider filming. Why does the government track down creative thinkers in the first place! And, wouldn't they be tracking everyone down because everyone is creative? Please type up the script so we can discuss this on an even field. I'm the only one who has seen the script long enough to pay any attention to it.
((Now if you're about to start an inquisition on me for plot holes on Electric Life please list your greivances in that thread. I think the audience can enjoy the story with what they have. Day 3 should promise a lot of explanation and it's not to late to rewrite a highly flawed day 1. ))

Eric is going to hate this, but I have some music from Burnout Revenge to use in this movie called "Top of the World." Here is what I could understand outta the lyrics: "Is there anybody out there- That wakes up with a bitter taste? It's the king that we put up there- He's falling from a high up place.
We're slowly creeping upwards- UNKNOWN FOR TWO LINES It's time that you lost your crown.
Don't be so greedy- The dollars are pourin down- When hearts are beating- Say what you want them to know.
(Chorus) Wasting away- I see you When the top of the world falls on you- I'm lucky to not be you When the top of the world falls on you!"
Something like that.

Great. Mind explaining to us why the song should be in the movie? Sounds pretty irrelevant to me. If you're going to tell me it sounds cool that's great, I just need a reason.

You're damn right I hate that! Sure, you understand, but you don't follow. Unlicenced music = no DVD release = no TV broadcast.

That's just for the credits. It isn't necessarily for anything but that section of the film. It can be done without. Best brush up on my guitar...

Anyway, I have the needed props for the forest shootout scene, so we could shoot this movie as early as December, but I know this won't be G-2, so I'm aiming for a late Janurary early Feburary shoot schedule.
The two first movies of G-3 should be "Productivity" and "Schedule," then perhaps The Mind. We must shoot that! It reads soooo well! WHEN DO WE SHOOT "THE MIND?" (Why I want the schedule like this is so we can do all the future centrist crap out of the way by March or April.

"The Mind" and "SCHEDULE" are both G-2, kenny. "SCHEDULE" officially concludes G-2. Look in the G-2 topic, and you'll see I have that full schedule set in stone. No modifications.

Oh. Well...... YOU CAN'T! Anyway, so- Ok. So it's done. (You shot the mind? I didn't think you did!) Can we shoot this in Jan/Feb?

Most likely not. We've got a few things instead. The first is the possiblity of Tim writing a movie. If he writes a movie it's first. No questions, no complaints. It gets as long as it needs (well, within reason). We owe him that much. The other thing is some other movies taking longer than planned. It will depend on which script is better and which one will take less time to film. Right now Inner Circle is in the running.

Productivity is a fairly short film in my consept, so long as there are no conteneuity errors, this should be an easy film. (Except the forest shootout, which will need some visual flair [tracers for the guns, which is territory that Eric hasen't visited in rotoscoping.]) Like I said, it's short. I want to film this ASAP so I don't break the props I just purchased (a la FM3.) I'd like to avoid that...

This film needs a little explaination in terms of backstory, so here's a little dossier on why things are the way they are. First off: Why the government is hunting down creative thinkers: Creative thinking is an unnecessary variable for a machavellian government such as the one portrayed in this film, so they root them out and "evaluate" them. The governments cover for this is to declare the thinker "mentally overstimulated" and accoust him. If the thinker is too public, like some politician or something, then they quietly put him on drugs and leave it at that. Creative thinking is dangerous to the government because they may view the government as overly controlling and start an uprising, so to put this flaw in check, they institutionalise the creative ones to shut them up. Eventually the human race will "forget" the creative process and become easily controlled drones, taking any order without question. Hopefully that clears some plot holes up.

That works and I like it, but I have two questions:
1. How do you plan to integrate all this into the script?
2. How do you plan to very quickly set up a Machiavellian society?
Expect us to ignore this topic. It's not exactly pressing at the moment and more of your own little project. We'll turn our attention to it when the time comes.
