Final Presentation

On friday afternoon I presented my final presentation which amounts to most of my grade for my FMP. I went pretty bad from my end was really nervous and went pretty quick, didn't feel I explained stuff well enough.

Anyway heres a link - final presentation

Got some feedback on the presentation of mine after it was over:
One person said:
- clearly well planned
- interesting
- kept my attention

Another said:
- great explanation of how you would write for different mediums
- very creative ideas
- good amount of research

The evaluation is due in for the whole project, in two weeks I have a week of from college then I week to finish it. So a pretty hefty document. 

By the way an update on my back. I was sent for x-ray and will get the results soon to find out what the fudge is wrong with me. still hurts but is on and off. The tablets seem not to work. 

FMP File - 17/05/13

This week I have built a file and completed the production of my FMP.

The file consists of everything I have done for the FMP and is being handed in at 4 GMT on 17/05/13. Well at least everything that is submittable I am glad to have done what I have done for my FMP and I have furtherened my knowledge in writing for both for games and other medias. The file is built and is ready for sending just need to print of this final blog post add it in and then give it to my tutor. 
Come up on a conundrum today or last night I did. The USB that contains all of my FMP was empty and later I searched the internet for a fix which I did and then I had a folder called found and it had recovery file fragments and a lot of them in there. Having no clue and stressing a lot I went to the technicians for help, they helped a fair bit and are now trying to revive my USB back from the dead hopefully with all my work in its haul. Bear in mind its the rest of this years work on their also not just my FMP. 

So today I finished of completing Critical Approaches file and was done quite quickly really only took me a few hours. 

- Link to Critical Approaches

The next time you'll hear from me is when I've done the final presentation and the Evaluation/ Report. If it wasn't for my tutor Craig I wouldn't have been able to gain the base knowledge to build my FMP, so thanks to him and to most of the other tutors that helped me along the way.
So I suppose I'll speak to you all in a few week.

Completed Production.

Well sort of completed production. On thursday night (09/05) I finally completed chapter 3 and with that the major document for my FMP, at that time it was a very hard thing for me to do considering how I was but I'll explain that later. I'll also link the document so you can access and read it in all its 'glory'. 

- Death's Apprentice up to C3 done

I hope you enjoy it in all its entirety (of 3 chapters). I always thoughts I'd have more time but turns out it was not meant to be, not part of my courses grand design it seems. reflecting back chapter 3 in itself is too long it probably worth 2 chapters in it self. I don't even know why I'm calling them chapters I mean transferring them into a game setting what I've wrote would mostly all be cinematic with gameplay added in here and there but thats because in the timeline of this its the start and chapter 4 would be start of the proper tutorial this just introduces you to the world and gives you some premise to jump off into and at the same time making you feel and connect with the character. The main contagonist/ protagonist in these parts at least he plays these character types is David and when writing him I've always imagined it being me as David. So when I give the 'player'/ 'reader' a choice it's always what I would've done. 

Reflecting on the quantity of this, I don't feel it's enough I feel like there should be soo much more but I do hope when and if someone reads it it gives them a taste of what my skill is like, I'm no master writer, I'm only a padawan that needs a lot of training but has bags of potential. 

On the notion that I've 'completed' production I've not as far as my tutor' are concerned, we had a discussion on what he actually wants from me as production is concerned and this is the results:

- Story/ Narrative itself/ Production

GDD type documents
- Story with edits dictating what I envisage the game play will look like with images

- Story with edits dictating GDD type edits, like at what point the main gets certain powers, what chapters are which levels/ locations, so for example 5 chapters might happen in just one level or 5 levels might happen in which chapters, also in this dictate when and where cinematics or game play happens

As I said the main document is done, everything else that needs to be done will be based of this, which both of them are in progress and for my FMP to be seen as part of my course I need to show how this relates to games and gameplay and insert game design edits into it. 

This was the feels I had when I finally completed it on Thursday night

On personal note, so anyone who doesn't give a crap about me and just wants to see stuff about my work can leave now. 

oh you have back pain thats always online... 

Anyway relating to what I said above how it was very hard for me to complete this. The past week or so I think since Monday/ Tuesday I've been dealing with a lot of back pain or at least I think its back pain, I have no idea where its come from or how it happened but I've been feeling incredible and immense pain on the right side of my back and its been mobile to one moment it might be on my right side the next moment it might underneath my shoulder blade. Its not the type of pain that goes away either its the headache/ migraine type of pain to say loosely 'its always online' (like the next xbox or we think so). So in a term it doesn't freaking go away. But also at the same time I have a sort of cold thats a tickly cough and a bunged up nose which all compiled and fused together makes me feel like well.. not well at all. Kinda hard to do work while all this is going on? 
So yeah I had Friday off because it was a workshop all day and I genuinely didn't feel up to going in at all. But present day now I'm feeling a little better, my cough has gone to my chest which it usually does my nose hurts when I blow it. And my backs playing temperamental but feels better. Fresh air helps my chest and having a hot shower helps my back a lot. So yeah. 
Thats pretty much it. I'll work on the rest of my FMP and the production, seems as well the whole freaking thing is in for next Friday which is flamin great news. 

FMP: Documents being produced

- Story/ Narrative itself/ Production

GDD type documents
- Story with edits dictating what I envisage the game play will look like with images

- Story with edits dictating GDD type edits, like at what point the main gets certain powers, what chapters are which levels/ locations, so for example 5 chapters might happen in just one level or 5 levels might happen in which chapters, also in this dictate when and where cinematics or game play happens

08/05/2013 - 8th May 2013

I've been obviously doing alot more writing and I still need to do alot more. It's like my brain keep saying "MOAR WRITING IS NEEDED".
To be honest I could kill for a cafe with rain in italy or a wine villa in italy, or a modern cabin in the montains preferaly in Canada. It's just the right environment. But yeah at the latest it needs to be done as soon as.

05/05/2013 - 5th May 2013

forgot to update yesterday I basically tried to write some more but got nowhere you could say I had writer's block, I just stared at the words and couldn't process what came after what I had written. Today I finally clicked and had 'ah ha' moment so I'm writing some more now. I'm on the cusp of the end of chapter 3 and the end of the production phase of my FMP and to write I should be with time dwindling down like grains of sand in a timer every day counts. I hope to god to finish production ASAP.  

T minus 2 weeks to go...

- 03 May 2013

Today my tutor went through what we have to include in our Final Presentation and I of course took notes so I know what I'm going to be doing when creating this all singing and all dancing presentation. This presentation is the final one and will go towards my final grade for the FMP. 

After he finished he went through with me what I personally have to put into the presentation in relation to my project because showing this project visually is a hard thing to do to say the least. This is what we both came up with discussing what I have to put into the presentation:

"Narrative - explain

Writing for games, difference between writing for games, book and film

Show examples of story driven games (one certain game came to my mind which was Bioshock Inifinite or just generally Bioshock)

Give a synopsis/ plot of your story - short version

level break down - visually show, so say what chapters are cinematic or game play

story - visuals (e.g. Characters, environment, 

Say what parts of this massive block of text is what so for example this massive piece of text is only the second level"

But in relation to what I'm going to do now, I am going to try to write some more. Wrote the first appearance of The Devil last night, aim to finish it today and that should wrap up chapter 3 really unless I think of anything else. 

3 - 2 weeks to go

FMP - 3 weeks to hand in

- 26/04/2013

My tutor wrote this on board and told us we had 3 weeks to we have to hand in our WHOLE FMP:

"From this point on wards start to think

- How much I have to do

- How much can I finish

- Is it better to complete/ finish some or half finish more

Most marks are for evidence of planning/ Research and managing (Blog/ logs) yourself/ time for the project

Research needs to compare your project to other analyse"

So basically my production and my chapters are worth less percentage than everything else? Yes. *brain-splosion* 

But anyway because the system was down at college I wrote these notes from the boar down and answered them:

"- How much I have to do?

3.5 chapters done so far, need to do 1.5 if I'm doing 5

- How much can I finish?

Finish 3 maybe? complete 4 and 5 but highly doubt it at the present moment. Or try to complete 3 and start 4 or complete 4 and start 5."

Above is just speculations and the way my thought process was going at the time.

"- Is it better to complete/ finish some or half finish more?

In this and my case it's better to half finish more and go for quantity but it might be rushed or on the other hand finishing some would be more quality but in less quantity."

 So overall thinking about all these things above and the fact that I have bits of my FMP that need touching up and completing properly, this is the result and what I have decided:

Deciding on doing on 3 chapters insead of doing the 5 I proposed in my last presentation
I know, I know, I've cut back on the quantity again but considering it the whole FMP due in, in about 3 weeks, I think it's better to go for quality, I can't be arsed going through all the stress and sleep loss trying to get 5 done in a few week. I think it's better to cut my losses and doing the best I can with the time I have. Bare in mind I have other college work on top of this FMP. 

- 02/05/2013

Dates my tutor put up on another board in the room we're usually in:

- FMP final hand in Friday 17th May 4pm 2013

- Final Presentation either Thursday/ Friday 23rd/ 24th May

- Final Evaluation report: Friday 7th June 4pm

To be honest I think it's just a scaremongering tactic and trying to light a fire under our arses to get us all into overdrive. I'll acknowledge its their but I have things to write for example this blog and general writing chapters.

Also I'll try and update this more often seems its coming to the end of the project, again try not will. 

What I've accomplished over these two weeks...

Well you could say that after seeing everyone elses presentations that it lit a fire underneath my arse and got me going, that is partially true because it was I who lit the beacons that lit the inferno underneath my arse. But anyway here go, hope you enjoy:

No I haven't trolled you either its all there. Well sorta kinda the first chapters there but well theres extras underneath it.

- Chapter 1 (or C1)

 A few things before you rain hell on me:

- I know about the swearing/ cussing and if its thats big of problem it will be removed but in my defence look at the age rating and fact is you know if you've read the character bios enough that the influence for this main character has come from Rorschach and partially parts of my own self combined with other character traits. As well if you read the character boi's you would know how old the character is and the job he's in so I think I did right by him having him swearing on occasion.

I havent had the rest of the chapter read by an external person either, so far I've only had the first paragraph looked at and I do intend to have it looked at in the future. 

By the end of the first week of the holidays I had this first chapter done and by this time as well I had a plan written up in my head at least, it was to get 1 chapter done per week.  Because it seems we have 5 - 6 weeks left on the course, 5 chapters = 5 weeks. What I didnt account for was well, me. By the end of the second week of the holidays (so currently now) I was well into and near the end of my third chapter. There's been a few days where I've had my work on the bottom on my tab bar just staring at me saying "I'm here you know!" and me just there procrastinating or generally just either forgetting about it or ignoring it. I think it was the second sunday of the holidays I sat down with a cup of tea and just wrote straight for a few hours, I wish I had more days like those. 

- Where I'm up to now... 

- I think I removed the swearing from C1 onwards because my tutor said to me in just that first paragraph there was too much swearing

- Again it hasn't been checked for spelling or grammar or if it at all makes sense for all I know it might be jibberish and nonesense, so sorry in advance if it is.

I think the line in the middle of the second chapter is my favourite so far because it has been one of those lines thats been running on repeat through my head ever since I finished the design stage. The line I'm on about is the only line that is written in whole thing in CAPS and really that whole paragraph I like the most at the minute. I just knew I had to implement it in there somehow and so I did. 

I posted this very document above to my own personal Facebook a week ago before posting it to here and asked people for feedback there, I had one piece of feedback. She said:

- Needs more detail

- Less swearing, "it makes it looks like you are trying too hard"

- The swearing needs basis to fit but if I (Todd) think it fits then fair enough

I think the only reason I've done so well is because I've been concentrating on the FMP solely in itself for a whole 2 weeks, sorry to any of my tutors but not touching any other work what so ever just my FMP. 
Let me put into perspective for you: Imagine you as me can't juggle so save his life is trying to juggle 3 balls at once keeping them all up in the air throwing them up and recatching them as they fall over and over again. Until now these two weeks I've had one ball to throw up and catch and because it is just one ball I can concetrate and and I can juggle that one ball quite well its only when you add 2 more balls to the mix is when I struggle. I hope you get my metaphor, I like to confuse my reader most of the time. I prefer the Lost type of writing as well as the Once Upon a Time way of writing, I love the way the most little of things means something and the use of intertextual references in the two shows is very good or at least I've been told is very good. (To be honest I haven't seen Lost but I am an avid Once Upon a Time fan.) 

If I had to be honest the past two weeks I've had to re-discover why 'I want to do' what I want to do, I've been reading many the article about the subject of narraitve design. It has been mostly self doubt and me thikning my project in its whole is worthless compared to any other class mate of mine and their project. Again self doubt in my skill, I sometimes think my tutor thinks my project is worthless. I know these thoughts should stay in my own mind but it effects my own work becasue everytime I'd look at my work I'd think 'why am I even doing this?' so thats what I went to re-discover and I re-discovered my inspiration. But anyway enough of this depressing stuff. I hope you enjoy the above two documents, feedback would be very much aprreciated were possible. 

Todd.

  

What has been going on recently

- 28/03/13

Today I presented my third and penultimate presentation, the feedback I received from my tutor was:
- Explained my FMP well
- Knows his FMP well
- Feasibility

- I will link my presentation here to show you what exactly I presented

The speaker notes I had which by the way I didn't stick to because in it I sort of knew what I was talking about

Another criticism I had was that on the reading part near the end I was too quite, advice was to have a voice over for the paragraph itself

As of my say on the changes going from what about around the area of 30 chapters to 5 is very big, I know this and my tutor said its cutting the amount by a sixth, over Easter I'm going to concentrate on getting my FMP done. As my tutor reminded us we have about 5 weeks left

Anyway you'll hear from me again when the first chapters done

- 06/04/13

But otherwise production has begun oh about only a few months late hence why the changes on the amount I want to do for my FMP. Also over this easter break of 2 weeks I intend to work heavily on the production of my FMP itself and will try to keep you updated. This now being the second week and according to my own timeline and if I have interpreted it correctly I am currently writing the third chapter. I've also been watching/ procrastinating on Fraiser a lot just one of those shows I love.

Finished Design

I think I finished my design stage today, I only really had two documents to complete but they were very large documents, I was overall surprised at how long it took me to complete these two documents, which is what I started them late last year so its took me a fair few months to complete these two. I'm mostly disappointed in myself for the fact that its took me this long to complete them it should've been done in a month not two more on top of that, I can't say I didn't rush the documents near the end but I did, there also the fact that I have had a lot of other work to work on not just my FMP. So you can say I haven't touched my FMP at all becaus of this reason in thus why the design stage is so late in completion. 

- mood board of what the worlds are going to look like (places in each plane of existence, 

- mood board of what the people are going to look like (inhabitants of each world,

I suppose that another milestone done but its still a late milestone, hopefully I hope to start production tomorrow and eventually find an external source to look at my work, thinking about finding a forum or a least somewhere to put my work on so its out there and open to harsh, blunt and constructive criticism. 
                       

Research into more writing

Been told today I need to research and review others peoples work and need to look into others writers and how they go on about structuring there writing, I'll probably start doing this after some more work has been shifted out of the way and when I get writers block

Been digging through my work..

Been doing some digging prepping for Uni interviews and I found a short story I created for an assessment piece for my english resit last year, just tell me your thoughts and such, I had to keep a word count for the piece and such like it could only be 1000 words and at the most 1,500, the result was I got a B, I think I relates mostly to my FMP because the main character Michael jumps off building for his escape and my main character in D.A enters his journey by doing the same thing. It made me laugh though when my english teacher said to me is Michael an angel? I of course had no idea what he was on about but I realise now after researching Angels and such what he was on about.

City Towers: The Heist

I can remember the escape like yesterday. The mad crazy dash p a few flights of stairs, emerging on the roof, then standing on the edge and just falling… Then being yanked back by the parachute and floating down like a feather. I remember us all going our separate ways and agreeing to never to get into contact with each other.

We all said that we had enough money to set up us up for the rest of our lives. But I had a feeling David wanted more. A few months after the mile-high bank job, I was back in the shit hole of a back water town I call home, Warrington. To be honest I wish I was back doing it. Then I got a phone call one day that said ‘anonymous’. I was curious to who it was, so I answered. “Is that Michael?” said a man who sounded like he sang a screamo rock band. I recognised the voice, it was David’s. “David? Yes, what’s happened?” I said wondering if it was him at all or just a wrong number, “Is this a secure line?” he said concerned like someone was watching me or listening in. “Yes, it should be” I said, “Good because I’ve got another job for us since you were so good last time” he said exaggerating the ‘so’, “good it was all sure dumb luck far as I’m concerned.” “I laughed”, “Dum luck my laddo, no I think not you’ve got a knack for this type of trade, what say you wanna join my crew, it’s a dangerous life I should know and I understand if you say no…” he said northerner in his voice. “Yes!” I said cutting him off half way through his recruitment speech.

“Good” David said enthusiastically, “so then, where is it this time?” I said intrigued by my comrades new crazy scheme, “New York City, my friend” he said trying not to giggle, “Are you for fucking real David, Jesus Christ almighty there isn’t a chance in hell you’re going to pull this off you know, the phrase comes to mind ‘when pigs fly’ we’re going to pull this off” I said angrily and sarcasm in my tone of voice. “Calm down dearest keep your nickers on, Christ” he said jokingly, “not the same building is it?” I said, “god no, it’s the building near the chemist company, you know the FCB the guys who are looking into a cure for cancer” he said, “oh yeah I heard about that said they were really close just the last piece of the puzzle they said and it’s done, ok then”, “you know what I say ZOMBIE APOCLYPSE here we come” David said making zombie noises down the phone. “Where we meeting?” I asked, “You remember the black van we had, just tap on the side as you walk past” he said, “Ok, then” I said concerned but glad for what’s to come, hope I don’t end up like all the other British guys who come back from overseas, dead.

So after my call with David I got a plane ticket over to New York, one way. As the flight was long I thought about who left behind and I forgot that a girl well…not just any girl, a girl I loved, my first love in fact moved here with her job she came here to take her promotion as a cop on the NYPD. Later that night I met up with David and some familiar faces, some not so, the new guy Luke, full name Lucifer but he preferred to be called Luke. The crew and I walked in during the day and decided to hide in closets and out of sight places till after closing. The pc specialist and hacker got rid of the cameras and downed the security system for a couple hours. We moved around like snakes in tall blades of grass it was adrenaline rushing. You could smell the coffee from the staff rooms as you walked past.

We got to the vault it was smaller than the last one and usually that means it stuffed with more dollars and coin for the taking you could smell the freshly made money like fresh bread that’s just come out of the oven. One of the guys said “god, this vault is tight as a little girl…OWWW what the fuck was that for?”, “stop fucking about and unload the vault the more you can carry downstairs the bigger your share.” David said commanding. I said to David concerned “does this seem too easy to you? Or was it the last one we did was hard as nails?” he pondered “this does seem a bit odd that there was no guards built like Russian soldiers with Russian Alsatians in toe”. Suspiciously David and I looked around for anything that could halt our heisting days and probably lock us behind and in a vault like prison that we could never get out. I found the cameras on the walls were bugged and told David and the rest, we covered then unplugged then smashed them all. I went round did all the safety deposit boxes and found a few handguns and rounds enough for all of us. “Here!” I shouted and threw a handgun to David “For protection”, “WOHHH!” “watch where you’re throwing that thing it coul...” BANG! The bullet bounced of the bullet proof that covered the entire room and round the room off the vault door into the vault bouncing round like a rubber ball at 100 mph, then out the door all I heard was “AHHHHHH what the fucking hell do you think your fucking playing at you fucking bastards all of you..” “Who was that?” asking David “Me you fucking retard!” in came Luke limping and holding his arm in agony blood oozing out through his fingers. “Better get that bandaged up or it might fall of and walk out the door” said one of the crew guys “Fucking smart arse” said Luke grumbling and mumbling under his breath. “What was that Luke?” asked David, “Nothing”, “Right, back to work the lot of you we’ve only got a couple more hours left” said David commanding the rest of them “Sorry it went off Luke” said David concerned “It’s fine, only a flesh wound” said Luke arrogantly.

One by one the sports bags to carry the loot out got bulgier and fatter like roast pigs on a dining table waiting to be cleaved of their meat or in our case money, all we needed was the apple to go in all our pigs pie wholes of mouths or the icing to go on our massive cake, the crown jewel of the vault. At the back of the vault sat THE most famous painting in the world, (because of where it had been taken New York it was bound for someone to steal it, so 4 fakes where made with one the real, all then sealed in vaults round the city completely random with only the curator knowing where it really is). The Mona Lisa. “What did you say about pigs flying Michael?”

Words: 1,199

Continued

The Mona Lisa hung on the wall like it had just come out of Leonardo da Vinci’s workshop. All their eyes widened at how real it looked but possibility it’s just another fake. “What are you all doing standing their gawping at it, it’s not going to take itself out of the frame and roll itself up and place itself inside the tube is it, I don’t see legs on it do you?” said David like a drill sergeant. I and the rest emptied the vault and I bee-lined straight for Da Vinci’s master piece. I examined it and just looked at in amazement and awe, I took the painting down of the wall and beforehand placing gloves on. I carefully took the painting out of its frame, checked if it’s the real deal; I beamed grinning like a Cheshire cat, rolled it up and placed it inside a cylinder tube. “Come on Michael, I wanna be in and out of here before the NYPD popo realised we have arrived” said David jokingly and commanding “Do want them to know who stole it, well then, that is why I’m taking my time” said Michael barking back at him.

“Luke can you drive” said David “yeah sure” “get down to the van and man the wheel then, is everything loaded up and everyone accounted for?” I said “yeah should be, I got her clinging to my back saying ‘don’t leave me’”, then from down the stairs I heard hush voices and quite creeping footsteps. “What’s up Michael?” David looked at me to say why the fuck aren’t you paying attention to me, I gestured out the door and down, one of the guys went out to check. PING! The sound of a silenced bullet hitting the railings of the staircase. “God fucking dam it I knew this was too easy” I said cursing even coming back to the city that never sleeps. David gestured like a clown playing Simon says with 5 year olds counting down from 3 to 1 he said whispering “on one we make a mad crazy dash for the roof, ok” “just like last time” I said “just like last time” David said both grinning. The NYPD cops heading up the floors making their way to the vault, quickly fast walking up the stairs. David gestured 3, BOOM! They kicked a door in downstairs in the security room, then 2, BOOM! The door to room before the vault, because we were smart we locked it. Then 1, by the time they were in the centre of the vault the thing itself was empty and we were near the roof.

Running and running fast as I could felt like Flash from DC comics, scrambling up rubbing shoulders, gun shots being fired up the staircase rick a shading of the bannister, BOOM! We burst through the fire escape door, all gasping for air, “always..bring..a..parachute” said David trying to catch his breath. Everyone else jumped off like flying squirrels, and then left standing was David and I, “You ready!” David shouted to me, “You go first!” I said shouting back, “fuck that, you go!”, I pushed David off the building. She came bursting through the door gun in hand with a squad behind her, her face could have painted a picture a better one than Mona at that she was still as beautiful as god created her, she must’ve been first in line when they handed out the bodies. She was perfection in my eyes she always will be.

“So Michael, why are standing on the edge of a skyscraper with a Leonardo da Vince masterpiece on your back?” she said in a questionable tone. My first thought was dumbstruck love, then anger, now rage but mellowed like a volcano ready to burst. “Why is one of my old good friends pointing a magnum at my head?” I said questioning her back. “Don’t play riddles with me Michael” she said in a calming tone. “Best say it now seems from now on we’re going to be on the opposite ends of the spectrum” I said calm but nervous, “say what?” she said moving closer to him, “I like you, like I wanna be your boyfriend like you, you know” I said nervous and reverting back to my old high school self probably THE worst years of my life but Aimee was always there. “That’s cute but I’m engaged now, sorry Michael” she said sadden in her voice but I didn’t care my brain and heart worked as one the volcano had blown and I pulled the gun and shot in the air, BANG!, Aims did the same but aiming just in front of me as warning shot “GIVE..THE…PAINTING…NOW MICHAEL!” Aimee said demanding and asserting her authority over me. “As long as you let me go” I said demanding my terms “never” she barked back, I pulled a lighter and hovered it over the bottom of the Mona Lisa, “now LET.ME.GO”. “fine” she said like she was giving up but looking back ordered her men to shoot my legs when the transfer was made. I rolled the painting in its cylinder container over to her, she picked it up and said “how are going to get out?” she asked me “where there’s a will there’s a way” I stepped back and fell, falling, falling wind passing my hair like water, you could hear her from the top “nooooooo” she screamed. Her men checked the cylinder, it was empty. “Err…mam it’s not their” they said dumbfounded “what do you mean it’s not their?” she looked it was empty as a black whole. As I heard coming down on the TV news “Today scientists have found the cure for cancer thanks to FCB medical company, and in other news there has been rumoured that scientists were experimenting with eagle genes and pigs genes and that they have fully created a pig with wings and that one of their subjects have escaped from the facility. Well I guess pigs really do fly. I’ve been Cathy Weathers for New York news. For the date of 21^st December 2012.

Carpe Diem.

At the present moment I am still trying to snowball my way through design and at the moment working on the inhabitants of each dimension 

while searching of films i could watch and take notes in I found four in particular :
- The Prophecy (1995)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114194/
- Dogma (1999)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/
- Constantine (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/
- Legion (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038686/
- Spawn (1997)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spawn_(film)

Might also look in comic/ anime series called Spawn

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spawn_(TV_series) 

I have seen bits of Constantine and I have seen Dogma many a time but I have never took notes through them for a purpose but now I will, it is very tempting to just go watch Legion and not work on my design but technically I am behind according to my timeline, at the moment according to my timeline I should be in Production working on what.. my 5th maybe 6th chapter

If I do watch any of these films I'll take notes while watching them, these notes would include things about:
- comparing my angels and demons to how they're represented in the film
- What is the basic plot line
- visually how it shows the story 
- how it relates biblically
- censorship - sensitivity 
- portrayal of biblical figures for example God and Jesus 
-  

As usual I'll upload a document eventually to here in relation to this
