Grown Up Ghost

Hail humans in time and space, the DOG is with thee. Blessed are they who call her friend, and blessed is our feedback coming soon, for all scenes.

Daughter of Godcast Season Two Crowd Creation and this is Episode 094, Grown Up Ghost dropping on June 13, 2018. We’re now a little over halfway through the Chinese year of the DOG. Just 6 months left to wrap our DOG, or Daughter of God and that’s exhilarating, intense and all sorts of wild. We’ve been making steady progress, plenty of cinema offered and feedback received.  Poised for a triumphant climax, the big finish yet STILL quite an adventure ahead. An even more thrilling ride about to begin, and we’re standing check by jowl at the helm, the tiller, the steering wheel.  We’re all gripping the spatula, the joystick, the paintbrush. Everything depends on us. We can do this.

Episode 093 was another respite from the constant barrage of scenes. We went Low Level and looked at some charcoal drawings of the shots in Welcome Back, a drastic simplification intended to hone our compositions. Intriguing shapes and engaging designs. Plus taking suggestions for even more post apocalyptic props.

Susan’s saucer in the sky idea is fun, I wonder if her suggestion can be plugged into the contraption that Gerry’s messing with? Perhaps the dish antennae catches the dawn light and flashes, or maybe the device is pumping out tiny halos that drift up and away, kind of a variant of the electric discharges in the original 1931 Frankenstein.

Maybe Gerry’s device is a beacon, projecting a holographic halo into the azure dawn sky like the Bat Signal. Another approach would be to just enlarge the moon and then alter the crescent to suggest the halo. Maybe a cosmic cataclysm has changed the appearance of the moon.

How would these different options alter or expand the story? For example, why would Gerry project a holographic halo in the sky? Maybe he’s signalling the crew of the big boat to return from their scavenging expeditions, that’s why Christina is coming back.

I could have a blast imagining how your suggestions might auspiciously integrate into the existing scenario. I&
