That story evolved into something that I did not forsee. Something about Arkansas, a fatalist group, tree boarers, dying trees, and the Wildman percolated the smell of an interesting narrative.

At first, I was just going to record the sound of my voice telling the story. But the project turned into a big monstrous class-wide effort so I had to re:vise my story to better fit the overall narrative.

What was the best way to bring all these ideas together? Shooting video of everything was out of the question. Production of all the fantastical elements of the narrative was more than one man could handle. It probably would have come out looking like a 21st century resurrection of an Ed Wood film anyway.

I looked everywhere for pictures to use in my narrative. Real pictures lacked the emotional impact that I was looking for so I started to look at some children's books, and at last, found my visual style. I found drawings in these books that just wowed me. I wanted to make posters of some of them. With some manipulation, these images had the potential to make an impact on viewers.

I spent countless, dull, monotonous hours scanning in tons of pictures into my library, pulled some Photoshop action on them and started to storyboard my project. Once I had the images in front of me, the dialogue started to flow out of my head.

Once I had the dialogue recorded, it was Premiere time. The first roughly done story was just the images and my voice. I found it a little lacking in flavor so I decided to add music and some effects. After playing around in Premiere for a couple of days my story was good to go. Taking into consideration the time we had left and the production constraints, I set a reasonable goal and I am glad that I accomplished what I set out to do.
