making a movie about LDing

Ok, Within the next year im goin to make a movie about LDing, Its going to be such a long span because im going to try and make it the best it can be, (actual sequences of levitatin and such) Iv already worked out how im going to do all the levitation and telekinisis (what I think will work anyway) so now im going to start on a good plot and stuff

the main thing I want to accomplish in this movie is It will be interesting for both LDrs and normal folk, So if any of you have any links to real LDs you or someone else has had that were totally amazing please link
---------------

one of the more fanciful plots summary:

guys working in a lab on opening up a new dimension,
experiment goes wrong and he's sucked into a wormhole
when he reaches other side he walks around in a world without anger, hate, or lust
He finds a scientist guy and asks why everyones so happy,
Scientist asks if he's serious etc but then tells him that everyone learns to lucid dream at a very early age
Guy asks what it is etc, he's given a slight overview of LDing
Scientist tells him how to and if he has any questions just ask him
guy stays with the scientist and goes to sleep, has an LD, trys to fly and fails (flys up and then falls on face and wakes up)
guy asks scientist for help on why he couldnt fly etc scientist telkls him
guy flys next dream and meets his dream guide, from here he either wakes up and asks about the DG or he stays in the LD with F/As and stuff for the ret of the movie
--------
will update with more later (an entirely diff plot) not enough time atm

Well, for your information, in addition to the game I am making that is about killing Terrorism, I am making a game that does take place in Dreams and in waking life.

I don't have a title yet for it, but in the real world, you'll be exploring the town, doing whatever you want: Shopping, playing sports, talking to other people (it is a WWW game), stopping criminals, watching TV, and more. You can also go to bed in this game, and 1/2 of it is LDing. You may do as you wish in the LD: flying, morphing, exploring parallel universes, TK,...er whatever you want (except it is E, so no porn [not even in dreams]), though if you wish to Dream Share w/another player, you will need to insert a code, the other person will too. Then both of you have to call out to each other at the same time.
There are also other not-so-normal abilities that you may use in the real world, but all of which require a code in a specific location (the personal fav of mine is the ...? ability, and being able to explore other dimensions [have to have codes for those as well] w/it). The following I am going to program in the game:
Dream Sharing
(whatever the flip those heat balls you throw from your hands are called!!)
Mental Communication (great for secretive talk)
Guess wizardry (i.e. The ability to figure out someone else's past, the lottery number, and Precog [can be activated in dreams])
TK
...?
Accessing XP5 (must have ...? code activated)
Accessing 5PX (must have all of the above activated)

There are more abilities to come, but each of which will require a code.

Im actually using a 599$ cam and yeah the blue screen was one of my choices for the flight scenes (I also have another but I'v never edited a movie before and have no idea if it would work so I wont ask so I wont have to be humiliated if its not going to work :P )

Im also prolly gonna buy some slightly good software for movie editing

No there doesn't!! My LDs are perfectly rid of that, and any guy that tries to touch me in them gets killed!!

One of the best PC video editing software packages is Adobe Premier, and it retails for just under $300. I prefer another program called Ulead MediaStudio only because I am more familiar with it. MediaStudio is probably about $20 less expensive, but I really don't think it's inferior to Premier. For mac, the best program is Final Cut Pro which is almost $1,000. I'm pretty adept with both premier and mediastudio, but I've never got the chance to work with Final Cut.

Premier and MediaStudio are intended to be used to edit 720x480 digital video which is considered "broadcast quality."

<GULP> :holycrap:

I hope to be able to identify you in someway...just in case we meet in the dream realm! Not that I walk up and schtoof every female LDer/DC I come across (my companions get jealous!), but it helps to know!

On the other hand, it would be a spectacular battle!!! :mrgreen:

Hey BBob,

If you're really serious about this thing I can help out. I've done some storyboarding, posters, props and some special effects for an independent film producer before. I can also do animation and other multimedia motion graphics (like credits and titles).

I'd love to be part of just about anything that relates to our special interest here on DV, so when the time comes, give a holler :D
