The screening of the "Sneak-peak" didn't go too well (too much material, too little time to compile it all, plus the controversy).
Alright. So instead of getting on those issues right now, I wanna say a few things about L.M.
First, I think I'll drop the whole "G.I. Transform:" thingy,
and just call the film "Lacrimae Mariae: The Tears of Mary" (I guess without the translation too).
Also, I am planning on having two versions of the film:
1. Lacrimae Mariae (Short Version)
2. Lacrimae Mariaw 3-D (The entire version, however long it is)
The first one will be with the toys and some comic scenes, and I'll try to minimize the 3-D scenes. This one will only include the most important dialogue to make the story flow, but will not have as many action scenes or dialogue. The reason is that doing stop-motion is extremely hard, and doing a movie comic-style can take up time, plus it can be boring if not done right (we saw this a
t the screening). Also, virtually all of the more controversial statements are taken off, though I'll leave the reference to Fr. Fessio's firing at the final speech. Everything else will be simply like an Action witty-comedy movie with a Catholic theme and message.
The second one will take much longer to make since I have decided to do it all in 3-D. I have gather some transformers models from around the web (but they do not transform) that I can use, plus I'll make the University 3-D model more detailed so we can have out movie take place there.
This movie will include almost all of the dialogue, including a revised line about the non-Catholic students (the revision should make it clear that the movie was not portraying non-Catholic students as evil, because that's not what was in
tended to begin with).
I should also say that while Fr. Henry did not read the whole script, he made some comments which I took into consideration, including changing the name of Operation Unholy Trinity and leaving out the part of Cobra inside the Oratory at Mass. I will possibly leave out some other lines and jokes, though we shall see.
Anyways.
I still need voice actors for Eagle Eye and for Duke, so if you know anyone who would be interested in filling up these parts, please let me know.
I will also be posting (not on the blog) a revised version for Lacrimae Mariae Short Version soon, since this is the one that I plan on going forward with.
Ok. Check back for new stuff.
God bless, pax Christi,

Lacrimae Mariae 3-D:

New blog? Catholic animation is your main theme? An underappreciated area of study I'm sure. If you need some help with blog design let me know.
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to say.
ReplyDeleteThe movie will begin with a disclaimer stating how the opinions stated in the movie are not of the university nor of the students.
I am still interested! - Dianna
