Visit to the Senior Centre

After a lot of running around, our hardworking producer Josh managed to get us into an amazing senior centre in Beaconsfield very near to the school.

We all were excited to go and visit them and have a real feel of the space. It was  a brilliant place with  many carers taking care of the old folks there. They were really taken care of. We saw them doing half an hour exercise. Afterwards we got to spend a while with them chatting about their life, their hobbies, their profession, their children  and also their current friends in the centre.

I realised, Data is not just one thing that you get, you also learn mannerism and character. Being with real people helped us feel the space.
With this information we went ahead to incorporate more specifics into the script.

One things we realised is we had to give a hobby to Prakash that is his but also comes out of story. As the tim deals with him and his shadow, light became an integral part of his world and creating that is fire. So matchstick art became a significant element that went with the story. Once we got all the elements of the story that created the event as well as created the dramatic parts, the script felt well integrated and cohesive.

Working on such specifics with Katerina was great!

Now we came to a point of starting to storyboard and doing more visuals.

More to come .
Cheers!
