Illuminations Scene1&2

Here's a snippet from this cool graphic novel Illuminations.  I did mostly cleanup work and grayscale coloring on the first part of the book. 


In the clip the author, Jeremiah Shanti, narrates scene one and two.

What's next?

Now that I have finished the paintings for the gallery show,  I think I'll focus back onto film projects.  I've been working on and off this script with Thomas.  We actually finished the first draft a while ago and started doing storyboards, but things came up and it was put on the back burner.  I'm now debating whether to continue with it or start on a new story that's been brewing in my head. 

I'm also looking forward to the screening of Michael Bacon's  "Obituary Notice".  Working with him has really been rewarding in many ways, but most of all it has made Film-making, as another artistic outlet, a reality... and not just another side project that never leaves the island of day dreams.

So with that, I'll post some storyboard sheets from the screenplay.. as a way to move forward.

Briefly, the story is about a woman who struggles to overcome the death of her fiance and the tormenting nightmares and memories of her past.  Through this journey she discovers reconciliation by embracing what she fears most.   

The above is the first scene after the prologue.  It introduces the protagonist, Mindy(late 20's to 30ish), in her apartment. She's in a sort of meditative state as she tries to clear past tragic events from her mind by reciting poetry from her journal, an activity carried over from childhood.

above is an excerpt from scene 3, following a montage sequence.  Her neighbor and friend, Nance, visits to get her mind off things. 

Pretty much drama stuff, but mixed in with lots of cool FX and surreal dream sequences.  I guess if I was to compare it to anything, Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain would be the biggest inspiration.. as well as the book No Bondary by Ken Wilber... well that's it for now.

In a desolate landscape of dirt and metal, the Mind Maker works tirelessly to birth thought into the hard cold materials of the planet.  There are signs of a past human existence, but where it has gone, is not known.

The Mind Maker's creations alone inhabit the lands, like ghostly machines. 

...Arising from her dwellings

she is greated as the morning sun. 

...And from a majestic vessel,  

 bestows upon the machines,  creatures of wonder ...

and glee. 

...And every now and then, when machine enlightens upon it's own mind

a Centaur emerges.
