For the past few years I’ve been trying to get to a point where I can produce (mostly comprising stock footage, photos etc) my own 9/11 Truth documentary. In the last six months I’ve got to a stage where I have several pages of script written, but due to a sheer lack of time to write an entire feature length script without constantly procrastinating and getting side-tracked, I had something of a revelation whilst cooking dinner the other evening.

The premise of the documentary is strip away the speculation around what happened before, during and after 9/11 and focus on the facts. These events have become something of a specialist subject for me over the years, and as a true skeptic I always look for facts to support any conspiracy theory. The bottom line is that there is a great deal that the general public do not know,  and that is for the most part down to a complete failure of epic proportions by the U.S/Global media to actually behave like proper investigative journalists.

If you spent just half an hour of your time on a site like 911research.wtc7.net you’d find yourself asking a lot of questions, and I want to make an effort to produce something that will ultimately make more people ask themselves those very same questions. After all, I believed the official version of events myself until I looked into things more closely.

So, what am I going to do?

The decision is to spend five minutes on each key point, and produce episodic content rather than a feature length documentary film. The clips will be produced in chronological order i.e. events before 9/11 will be covered first and I’m aiming to knock out somewhere between twelve and eighteen episodes.

I’ll be blogging more about this over the coming weeks as I want to have the first finished before May.

I’m currently trying to get the beginning of the first draft of a documentary script written, and I could use your help and knowledge. I’m looking for examples to refer to in the opening few paragraphs of dialogue, and could use your help in the comments below.

As part of the documentary I’m making, I use the concept of ‘suspension of disbelief’ to help lead into the actual topic I’m covering. This concept of course refers to things that books, films and television programmes throw at us that we simply have to just accept, regardless of how implausible, ludicrous or overly convenient they may be.

One example, if not a poor one, is in ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ where the U.S Navy just so happen to have a weapon able to take down Devastator with a single shot, or perhaps the other example of just how an entire battle group of armoured vehicles and reserve troops magically appear as reinforcements in the final battle only minutes after getting the order to ‘go’. Don’t even get me started on the convenient resurrection of Sam toward the end…

Any help welcome! If you can quote several from one source, please feel free.

Good night, and good luck.

P.S I may be a Transformers fan boi, but I can still criticise the plot.

Well it certainly has been a while since Le Blog got updated. I’ve been away on holiday, laboured away in Bernie’s garden for nearly two weeks getting ready for Anna & Mike’s Wedding, and have generally been trying to get back into the swing of things as I slowly creep towards September. Now is as good a time as any to exclaim: “I’m going to University!!!’. There, done. Continue Reading

Morning! I’ve had a lot of distraction over the past week, which amongst other things has affected by ability to Get Things Done ™ and the original film shoot I had planned for my Virgin Media Shorts/final college project short film never happened. Now, the deadline is edging ever closer (this coming Monday!) and I realise this is all a bit last minute; but I’ve had an epiphany and now have a different yet simpler idea that I intend to shoot over the next few days.

I’m keeping an Undead/Zombie theme, but shooting in a documentary style and will be calling the film ‘My Flatmate’…work it out for yourselves!

Heading out soon, and just wanted to post a quick update in regards to the short film I’m producing for the Virgin Media Shorts 2009 competition. This afternoon, I Tweeted/Facebooked asking for suggestions as to what kind of educational advice the public service parody will be dishing out, as I was looking for inspiration as I’ll have to get everything scripted over the weekend. The response was brilliant, but also has put me in an position where I have to make a creative decision.

The original plan was to serve up say, five ‘survival tips’ for the British public to take into account should they be faced with a Zombie/Undead, but after someone on Facebook mentioned etiquette, part of me feels that this would be a slightly better, and certainly more comical route to take. The potential hilarity of a wartime citizen taking a Zombie/Undead into their home, and treating them like any other citizen is just too much to overlook, and therefore serving up five ‘etiqutte tips’ is something I’ll have to look into.

Just goes to show that you should always listen to what other people have to contribute. Perhaps this idea could involve into ‘A Citizens Guide to Zombie Etiquette’, or something of that ilk.

Good night, and good luck.
