Scripting Process

So Docky out? Nemo in? O.o

The more I try to work on my concept, the more I see it from the Abalone's point of view - the Victim.

I was discussing my idea with a couple of friends again over the weekend and for some reason I constantly seem to be getting the same response. Oh, you are doing something like Finding Nemo??

Euh, nope dude, not exactly.. finding Nemo is awesome but no my abalone is not going to be traveling the world... It's going to be less adventurous and stay closer to home. And I probably will not be having talking sharks either! So duh!

Anyway, transmedia seems like the best way to go.  Real life footage of the beach, underwater and waves integrating animated figures is the way I am planning the piece.  I am currently working on a script with a talking abalone (speaking abalonish would have made thing easier but so not happening). Oh well! :)
