This past month has been pretty busy, what with Ruth and I editing a seminar for Simply Charlotte Mason, and all the other things that happen when you try to make movies while having a life.

But! On Friday we found time to sit down over the Internet and discuss an idea we had in November. I came away from the meeting extremely encouraged with the direction of the project. One thing that came up was all the other ideas we had to play with. We counted at least five story ideas that we might work on later.

Don’t worry, by the way… We’re still planning on doing the DragonSpell teaser. Just gotta get this seminar done first.

This is just a very quick update on our latest film project. We were all together in the same house for two weeks, so we did a lot of hashing out ideas, getting feedback from our parents, and generally making sure the treatment worked.

As a result of all this, we ended up with the impression that our story is good, but we need to sit down and work on our characters before we start scripting. That’s where the project stands at this point.

One last mysterious note on the project: We tossed around some title ideas, and though nothing positive has materialized yet, we may have a potential working title.

One last note from me: I’ve just requested from the library a few good-looking books on various aspects of filmmaking. Perhaps there will be some reviews soon.
