he makes some interesting arguments....

Yeah well, I am thinking about doing a film with a DV camera and incorporating a 3D animation into it using Toxik. something cool I think.

idea

I have an idea for a movie where. It seems like it is supposed to be a generic slasher movie at the start. But it turns out to be a dream in which the dreamer is lucid but chooses to let the "nightmare" play out so he can mess with the other characters. They other characters are freaked out by the stoicism of the dreamer and the fact that he keeps laughing at them while this slasher guy is trying to kill them all. Even the slasher guy thinks the dreamer is supposed to be another victim in the story. But the dreamer ends up flying in the air and shooting energy balls out of his hands and killing the slasher.

Guess what? Another person lost their project because they didn't know to save their footage with the project! Maybe we should mention this in class!

This will make you go WUUUT???

Honestly, I shouldn't write this....

During the summer of 2009, I had a weird dream, which I frankly got worried over. This is weird, inconsistant and has really... I donno, it's just weird. Enjoy reading this tl;dr post.

It starts in a very fancy department store in Tokyo, Japan. I'm, in the basement level, noticing that this fancy department store was refurbished with new things. It was extremely large and lavish, but nobody was around. I was looking for somebody, a friend perhaps, but I couldn't find him so I went on the elevator to go on some other floor. The elevator has only one button to the second floor, but instead of working properly, the elevator ended up at 2.3 floors. (wut?)

Moments later I was visiting some street market on a narrow road. Nobody was selling anything, in fact, it seemed like closing time for the vendors. There were lights still turned on, and some of the stores had stuff laid out still. I swoop through the blue sheets, and the clowd of busy people heading home.

After walking through the chaos, I found myself at an enterance to a small, cylindrical building. I enter it, and find a small, but complete gallery of rocks and minerals. It seems like this was a small museam owned by a collector. There was an old woman in the museaum who was wandering around the place. I asked her a question about the minerals on display, but I never got a reply.

SUDDENLY, I was watching a police car-chase. The car that was being pursued by the police was a 1970 Trino (Ford.) The car haults by some really modern looking building, and the men who were in the car began chasing after me. I run into the modern building and hide behind a desk, afraid to go out. But I wanted to observe what was to happen.

Then I was called up. A doctor, lifted me out of the corner, and made me sit on a stool. He was an old man with some white beard.

"Well, what were you up to?" he asked me in a nice tone. "You look like you were being chased by somebody."

"I..."

"Well, don't worry," he interupts me, "however, I have some bad news. You're going deaf very soon. And I can't stop it."

"Hold on, what?" I'm stunned at this news.

"Though you should still feel lucky, you'll still be able to hear with your left ear. You can also see music."

I tapped away on my laps, and suddenly I saw squares and circles float away from where I tapped. This made me honestly worried and confused.

Then, I rushed out of the doctor's office and ran into a very open hall with minimalist architecture. A warm sunlight shined through a large window and I met up with several friends of mine and we began talking about how things were and what was happening.

I was then alerted by something. I began walking towards the stairs, and headed down the building. At the bottom of the stairs, I was in a cavernous hallway, lit only by sunlight which shined through from the top floors. It was quieter here as there was nobody around. I see a person walk from the hall, upon seeing me, she began walking faster. I noticed she was a nurse.

"He'll be fine. Please don't worry." she told me, then she left.

I wonder to this day ... what that meant.
