I’m still mentally plotting my second screenplay (I have to know exactly how it will end before I begin writing), but I’m thinking it will be called THE SHADOW PRINCE.\u00a0 Doesn’t that sound exciting?\u00a0 Of course it does.\u00a0 I’m not quite ready to say what it’s about; that will have to wait until I’m completely done plotting.\u00a0 But daydreaming of the plot has been very fun.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the more I think about films, the more I daydream about really being the one in creative control.\u00a0 I guess that’s everyone’s dream, though, huh?\u00a0 Earlier today I was browsing Amazon for some professional but cheap camcorders in $1000 to $3000 range.\u00a0 You see, part of me is saying “Yes!\u00a0 Buy a camera and make some shorts!\u00a0 Maybe even film a simple feature!\u00a0 Why wait until you have $100,000 to invest in production?\u00a0 Just buy a decent enough camera and start now!\u00a0 Experiment!” And it’s very tempting.\u00a0 But then the other part of me says “A couple thousand<\/em> dollars?!\u00a0 Are you crazy?\u00a0 You need to be saving your money!\u00a0 And it’s not like you’d be able to make anything that you could sell to help you regain your loss!\u00a0 Even with a nice camera, what are you going to film, the family dog?!\u00a0 You’ll have no sets, no lighting, no actors, no big group of friends that will do as you say for no payment… you’re really gonna have to wait until you have more $$$$… a LOT more…” and then the other side says “But it would be so much fun!” and the other side “But at what cost?”\u00a0 So the internal battle rages on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m still mentally plotting my second screenplay (I have to know exactly how it will end before I begin writing), but I’m thinking it will be called THE SHADOW PRINCE.\u00a0 Doesn’t that sound exciting?\u00a0 Of course it does.\u00a0 I’m not quite ready to say what it’s about; that will have […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[175],"tags":[178],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gI4B-93","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
