Sleep-game writing
Dec. 7th, 2009 07:53 amI had a dream about a game where you were a film director. It looked reasonably like Habbo, with the scene you were shooting viewed isometrically, the actors in the middle of the set and the crew and cameras around it. Your objective was to move the cameras about and switch between them to capture as much of the scene as possible without also getting any of the equipment, crew or multiple other distractions into the frame (one of the scenes was shot in a living room, with three yellow chicks zooming around the walls).
If you got anything on camera that you weren't supposed to, such as when I moved a camera too far over and saw the bearded lighting director hiding halfway down a flight of stairs, it would announce this with the noise from MGS that can only be described as "!", and your little director jumping up and down with steam coming out of his ears and a giant spiky speech balloon shooting up above his head and proclaiming "ARSES".
I remember another scene where you were filming for the news with a massive crowd running towards you, having to hold your resolve to get it on camera until they were nearly on top of you. But just before they ran you over, the FBI agent among them would reveal himself and stop them - he was the one who was disguised as an ice cream van.
I wonder how workable it would be.
