Sean Shimmel... wink back at the Reaper
LOST: Jungle Mystery... Beautifully
I wonder how screenwriters begin to draw out her character? Maybe brainstorming over coffee and a white board with random words such as these. (check out Tom Kelly's ART of INNOVATION www.theartofinnovation.com/default.htm He and I chatted by email long ago during their heyday after creating the Palm V)
What would you add? My old college friend who's now a writer invited me to visit his monthly screenwriter's group. Got me thinking.
Biochemist, nano, ninja, Europe, Costa Rica, specimen, regiment, gene splicing, empaths, dancer, mafia, soldier, fever, hot zone, ancient languages, hypnosis, twins, camps, ballet, HEROES, cryogenics, poison,
Then I think music. Like director John Woo's famously ironic mixtures (Somewhere Over the Rainbow during a slow-motion shootout in the John Travolta/Nicholas Cage movie Faceoff). Or maybe just the serendipitously, simultaneously carefree and hypnotic songs by The Doors such as People Are Strange or Love Street.
I love discovering untapped potential. A fun example of this is in casting. Just like a producer and director, I look for that... something different... in a person. And then I go deep trying to describe to myself the impressions that person makes.
