Seize The Day set design 2











In order to avoid crowding a URL with too many pictures, I decided to continue on with a second posting to continue a fine tradition of artistic construction. The stock market figures in this story, so do fine hotels, so like pictures of the Old Hotel Vancouver I just have to draw a few pictures of the stock market.










_






I had to draw a picture of this, as it figures in the film and the movie would not be complete without it.

Monday, August 10, 2009/ DN Xmas 2009






The silos in the distance have a castle turrets look similar to the Old Hotel Vancouver.

This is a shot from a new perspective, of the farm of which images of were used in the cartoon that I made called Animal Farm.

The Dean Noble Christmas Special 2009


Opening shot: A nuclear meteor arcs from the sky.


A flash the Earth is destroyed in a nuclear flash. Neutron bombs which destroy living things but leave builidngs etc intact are dispelled into the atmosphere in general.


Storyboard shot: Looking up in to the sky, skyscrapers line. dark clouds of, the cumulo nimbus clouds of nuclear winter.

Rain. Like Noah's Ark, that kind of rain.

The city with skyscrapers is flooded. Nod; homage to Kubrick/Spielberg's A.I..

Winter. Flooded city freezes over. ETs in skates also the formation of hybrid humans whose DNA has been compromised by the nuclear radiation so they have purple skin skate over the surface of the ice.

Santa Claus still lives, but he is looking for any humans that might be surviving.



The ending has not been thought of yet. To tell you the truth, there are infinite possibilities. I will think of an ending closer to the time I actually decide to make the cartoon. There are images in my mind already....

In case someone decides to swipe the story, at least I didn't write the ending yet.

Actually, if someone decides to use this story and come up with their own image, that is something as an author, I would like to see. Really, can there be too many film versions of a story? Even if a hundred directors made a hundred movies of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, I would go and see each one of them!

The images in this film are influenced from the TV series, World Without Humans but with a winter montage added to it.

Dream Friday August 7, 2009 7am

I was with a group of Christians. I meet this girl we make out. Later, I meet another fat girl. She is at the door of my room.



Her pants are hanging down below her waist. She goes into my room.



She is lying to my right, naked. The point is, she was over the edge of the bed, on the floor, as if to illustrate, why not sleep on the floor only physical humans need blankets beds, a ghost can sleep on air a bed would be redundant, etc.



I go to her and embrace her.





Later, I walk out onto the street of Khao San Road in Bangkok. I see my friends Kevn, Gerald, and also Gerard Depardieu the actor. At first I feel shy, what are they doing in Bangkok? I decide to walk with them.



I ask Kevin about Terry Edwards. He said that Terry Edwards died. When? I asked. 20 minutes ago, Kevin says.

The four of us turn left around a corner, where Gulliver's Tavern would have been.




We walk upstairs to a floor. I say a quote from City of Ghosts, "The monkey's got your passport." And then I say to Gerard Depardieu, "Your movie is one of the ones which I watch regularly." He could tell I was lying.

I was under the impression that I had been to Vancouver on a vacation within the last four years, of course this is a dream notion in a dream, and I really haven't!

Lining up at a mall concession stand. In the line up behind, there is a black guy who says that there is a sale. I go to the store and get something in a plastic bag.



I go to a rotunda information kiosk which is the check out stand. I try to ring it in. The cashier says that the sale is for 95% of the price, not 59%.




Then I see the pretty girl I made out with at first. She tells me to expect these things.




She then goes round the corner behind me and to my left and she is sitting on a green mall bench kissing her boyfriend. Like her, the boyfriend is blonde, tall, young, crew cut, athletic. I feel a little envious as I wish I met the right girl when I was younger like they have instead of still being single like I am. I walk past them out of the mall. As I walk past them, I hear the girl saying to the guy, "Let's go out tonight."
I got a sense she meant go out to that same nighttime dizzying discotheque Christian gathering that I met her at.

I walk on out of the mall, clomping my steps. Clomp clomp. I am an expert, I think.




Before I leave, there are two food courttable with chairs next to each other and to the right of that is a set of glass doors.




I walk out the door. I throw my plastic bag away into an R2D2 style garbage can, all green, and with a swinging door on top part. I think, "I really should be in Vancouver. And my friend Terry Edwards is dead!"


Just offhand, originally, I was going to put this on the blog on myspace, but it clicks, cuts, clips and malfunctions too much. Freezes. This morning, I lost a typed manuscript on myspace.

Update: August 7, afternoon. 3 pm.

Terry Edwards appeared in my dream, long blonde hair, wearing a blue t-shirt and blue shorts. I said, "I heard that you were dead."
He said, "No, I'm not dead. As you see, I am very much alive."


Interpretation: This means nothing. Ghosts who have died have appeared in my dreams to tell me that I was mistaken, they are still very much alive. One of them was Mark. "Mark, I thought you were dead!" in that dream where he is standing outside of the Royal Bank on Main and Hastings. "No." He said.
Ghosts do this, as if to say, "Your thoughts about what death is needs a bit of a tune-up!"
