SlooooOOOOOoooooow Blog Updates

It's been a while since the last update.

I've been busy with my grad film, and our group has a separate production blog that we post our work on so this blog got kind of neglected, as well as my dialog project. I'm hoping with the impending grad film proposal assignment I would have more time to work on my dialog as a lot of the work for the proposal has been done with my grad film group.

This is what i have for the dialog so far:

There is some more blocking, as well as some camera fixes, most of the shots should follow the line of action now.

Dialog: Atrocious Voice work

I'm behind schedual, mostly due to me changing my idea half way through. Here is the storyboard along with rough dialog. The female parts are not voiced, as listening to the recordings made me want to dunk my head into a vat of acid......I'll have to find voice actors...... The sound clips in the video are just placeholders,the dialog will be re-recorded.



And here is the script along with character descriptions:

Character Dynamics and Script
Arin
Bio:
He grew up on in a small house near a well-traveled road in the outskirts of a small town. He lived with his parents and one older brother. When he was young the Country was at war, and soldiers frequent the road near his house. Since he was the younger sibling, he had a lot of free time while his older brother helped out with the chores. He was a daydreamer and he often dreamed of becoming a hero while watching the soldiers. He had a close friend named Milana who he would always role-play with. At 17 he left home to join the army to fulfil his dream of becoming a hero.
Goal:
To confront the antagonist for bullying his friend.
Obstacle:
The war is over, extra conscripts were sent home. He only has a small amount of army training.
Status relationships/negotiations:
He has a higher status than his childhood friend.
His low status with the antagonist does not change, he is slain by the antagonist.

Milana
Bio:
Her parents are scholars who grew tired of the city and decided to settle somewhere more peaceful. Her parents have high expectation for her, and home-schools her, intending for her to attend higher education. She has no goals of her own, as she is told what she should do at a young age. She spends most of her time studying, and thus has no friends except for her neighbor the protagonist, whom she plays with. At 17 she was sent to a big city by her parents to pursue higher education.
Goal:
Save the protagonist before it is too late.
Obstacle:

Status Relationships/Negotiations:
She has a lower status compared to the Protagonist.


Script:

Arin walked briskly to the front of Milana’s house, eager to see his old friend. Upon arriving at the door he puts his sword down to relieve his shoulders. He takes a breath and knocks on the door.

The door opens slightly as a small form peeks out from the crack. “Who is it?” the form asked with a small voice.
Arin lets out a wide grin as he spots his old friend Milana. “Hey!”
“Arin!” Milana squeaked as she opened the door and greeted him with a hug.
The two exchanged greetings and Arin notices the small bandage on Milana’s cheek.
Curious, Arin pointed at the bandage and asked, “whats that?”
Milana looked down, and replied, “I bumped into some guards on my way home and fell. Would you like to-” Milana paused as she noticed Arin’s angry expression.
“stay here, I’m gonna go give them a piece of my mind!” Arin almost shouted in anger.
“It’s-“
Before Milana can get another word out, Arin stormed off, so angry that he did not remember to take his sword with him.
