Hello everyone! I'm pretty darn impressed with all your reference and videos that you guys have been posting. You guys are awesome!
Just so you know, the story is changing. Steve Hickner helped us realize that the film is luke warm, and we need to either up the funniness and make this a cornball movie, or up the drama and make it a reincarnation of Kites. Naturally, I decided to go the cornball route.
Jeff's acting will be over the top from here on out. No more subtlety. As in Jim Carrey or Chris Farley over the top. To build an idea of what he is, combine the athleticism of Po the Panda, the narpiness of Baby Brent from Cloudy, Chris Farley's spaziness and Flynt Lockwood's dramaticism.
The ending of the film is changing big time. We're cutting the whole family photo thing and going with something goofy. He's going to move gracefully to the window like the ballerina hippos from Fantasia, fling the window open and spin around. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I have a very specific way I want this part of the film to go down. There's a look I want to go for.
I'd like to meet with you guys and briefly talk. I'm not sure what you guys have in the way of schedules or what you guys have planned, so just tell me when would work. Thanks!
Wesley
