Project's kinda hit an awkward standstill based on some critique last week. I dunno quite how to explain it, but thefirst 40 seconds of this Um Jammer Lammy video should give some explaination. Think of Parappa (the hat wearing dog) as me, PJ (the bear) as my tutor, and the guitar as my plot.
Yup. God damn bear. =(
Basically, he wants me to take out any reference to the fact the main character's going on a date by himself until the end of the movie, but I cannot in any way think of any way that's gonna work. The fact we can see there's nobody there provides pretty much the entire basis for the visual gags in this thing. Apparently, I'm supposed to compare it to films like Shallow Hal and Fight Club, but the more I think about it, the more I believe this project has very little to do with those things, in the way their perception of vision is implimented. If I were to compare it to anything, I'd go with sexually depraved mime, except his girlfriend's the only thing that's invisible.
So yeah, I'm currently stuck in a slump with a half-finished storyboard. I can't think of any reason to go with his idea, though the entire class is supporting it, meaning there might be a bit of potential grading damage if I stick with the idea that makes sense.
It's generally just....urgggh.
