Get ready to laugh a little, anytime I see Nina from The Forbidden Dance, I start laughing… but that’s what it was. She’s the real thing, baby. She’ll tell you. I don’t know what to…do there. Maybe later on…so you don’t expect lol, and you know a little more about the story. It’s funny, isn’t it? I thought, I’m not sure if I can totally make it look like a CD, and I can photoshop some of this text out, but it has a rainbow effect. I did a few mock-ups of this one. There’s something about the disc that I like…I’m just experimenting with the crystal chandelier effect…can’t find the right photo and it’s not the priority right now. If I can photoshop something simple…
I don’t know about the trippy text effect though in the first image maybe that works…There’s something emotional to me about Sarah from A Little Princess in the second photo with her arms raised…everyone knows that movie. Like, ooooh, it’s going to be one…of those…some tragedy is going strike some girl and she’s going to make it through…a love song? What?
“Because you loved me…” now I’m hearing that one.
It’s about a house, there’s music in it… this is going to be a love song, check. A classic. That’s what this is. Maybe Sarah might be the next image, but to me, that’s the right sentiment. In terms of presenting a character off the bat. There’s a kid involved. Rather than Penelope Cruz…lol, Nina, I keep doing it for fun. Not yet. But…it IS that…but for real, because she’s truly Brazilian dancing sexy in her room 24/7. At the right moment. Hopefully, the person will laugh out loud. That’s what it is.
I can photoshop later.
Anyway, I’m going to bed. I made it pretty much the whole way through the bible except tone but I’m getting there — the advantage is…MARIA sometimes becomes the perspective like Immensità but it’s much simpler…it’s an ensemble piece, for sure, that revolves around these two characters though as the family drama really flares up…that becomes something else as the family is going to have to do what they do best — get through this together. Her husband has to grab hold of the reigns since his wife is off. What the hell are they going to do?
Again, I think one of the advantages of this is…MARIA can take the perspective sort of like the daughter in Immensita…but probably all she has to do is stand there. And you see what she’s seeing… I mean, their family videos? To Through the Years? You’ll get the parallels she’s seeing…playing “make-believe” with Nicole..who really believes in OZ…looking over at an adult…wondering what that line is...staring at their heated fights, her, the door opening to her mother, Dr. J, coming in to deliver a performance… of make-believing she is not there…
I can do a VoiceOver in the beginning and end like Ford vs Ferrari, we’ll see, I can feel the potential for a voiceover, but I think it speaks for itself…maybe what this mother says about the lambada can come back…her angel voice… lyrics… maybe something can come in at the end…as if…she wrote it…you know? Her mother’s name is Joy… I had that thought in the end…since what she says about the lambada comes back at the end right now…I couldn’t even believe it. Joyce. And they are rejoicing, literally. That was the theme. And this is her family now…
Feel great, gotta go to bed. I think I have at least a week. If there was some code red time frame, he would tell me. It’s just, a couple of weeks outside of a month is one thing…but if it’s like, oh, I had two months? I mean, even better, truly speaking! Just work in my favor. I’m just going to be done over the weekend because I can’t gauge. That’s my goal. I know that’s right. He said “At least two weeks,” so that’s this week. I’ll done this weekend then.
I feel like I’m starting to see the final product…
I’m supposed to connect with a feeling of knowing…approaching the task as if it’s already done…so what if I did it, just like that, and I just want to cry. And this CD cover is good, I think. I can do the back…so it feels cohesive even classic.
