Carrie and Vostok - Update

2 years, 4 months ago

No, I haven’t forgotten about Carrie and Vostok. Emma points out that the design is too clinical, and I should probably find them their own domain while updating it…

We are also going to try for Australian Film Commision’s Industry and Cultural Developement Funding.

Now here is a rough runthrough of what we covered in a recent brainstorm:

specifcation:

  • episoidal
  • not too specific
  • timely.

background:

  • live in a major city.
  • red for Vostok, yellow for Carrie
  • who are these people? what do they do? leave nice and loose for the time being…

It was decided that the action will happen in weeks instead of months. This gives less confusion about how it ties into real world time. Here are the rough outlines for the first four weeks.

Week one
Monday: Vostok finds carrie a home
Tuesday: vostok throws his toothbrush out.
Wednesday: carrie has her period
Thursday: they go shopping
Friday: vostok stinks out the toilet
Saturday: carrie and vostok kill hundreds of cockroaches
Sunday: carrie brings a date home

Week two
Monday: vostok considers something deelply profound.
Tuesday: carrie has a phone conversation.
Wednesday: vostok has a phone conversation.
Thursday: vostok cleans a fridge.
Friday: carrie reads the paper.
Saturday: carrie buys a bra.
Sunday: vostok take out the garbage.

Week three:
Monday: carrie and vostok dinner.
Tuesday: a coin is glued to the ground.
Wednesday: chocolate is eaten.
Thursday: the coffee is spilt
Friday: they dance
Saturday: carrie looses a sock.
Sunday: vostok stubs his toe.

Week four:
Monday: vostok cries
Tuesday: carrie gets a brazilian.
Wednesday: a light bulb goes out.
Thursday: an alarm goes off.
Friday: carrie falls…
Saturday: vostok hails a cab.
Sunday: something burns.

tech: calendar, forum, torrent tracker, domain, ipod video.

need: epidisodes, how-to documentation (eg how to put it into digital form + tips, hints, and guidance).

    I had an idea, never found a suitable image to carrie ;) it out.

    A picture of graffiti or a tree engraved with many names and subtly placed their names in the correct colours. Maybe something as simple as Carrie + Vostok were here at the dawn of the new millenium. Or maybe seperated out.

    Perhaps as promotional art or something…

    The tree one sounds like it could be a great image - tree bark is an interesting texture to capture. Not sure how hard it would be to make colour subtle. The graffiti one is no probs of course! :P

    Hmm I think you could probably get away with not having the colour signifiers in the event that they are explicitly named. Though maybe this is dangerous territory to get into.

    Hopefully a pilot/example epidsode and some image-based ones will be under way as soon as our resident film director gets back from Brisbane.

    Harrah!
