THE LADY IN WHITE, STORY DEVELOPMENT
The Lady in White, Story Development
I like the arc. And I like theme of unity. See my non-fiction comments: Being One. A well known unity story is “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” Such stories probably need a lot of introspection by the protagonist. Hard to do in SL. So, of course, we should do it.
The clothes change is a great plan. Tells that part of the story fast an without talk. I think we could do two more vids showing those parts of her character. I don’t think we would have a story if we stop there. Missing: character development. These will look like three people with the same name unless we tie them together with the transition. It would be an interesting idea, however, to present the three arc point first. Then think about the transition parts. There could be more than one story for the same transition. Maybe we would make several vids for the white to black and several more for the black to bright. Or maybe other people would make some.
One advantage we have is that we are not presenting a finished product. The theater has the same advantage, but its products are expensive, even off-Broadway. We don’t have to get it right the first time. It would be great if we get it right the last time. But, as Huck Finn knows, the catching may be more important than the frying.
Yes. Hedges in the credits. She will probably do the bright outfit also. (Let’s not say red. Let’s say bright and let her think about designs that convey the feel. Maybe we’ll do a separate style show on emotional designs.)
