I've already noted that I'd like to create a scene where my character walks through a small tunnel and his memories and thoughts appear on the wall, very lucid and transparent.
I spoke to Brian about this and he did say it was possible; after playing around with a few effects nothing has really come good so far. However he did say to leave it with him and he'll report back to me when he's discovered the right effect for my film.

Pan's Labyrinth Viewing
As I'm looking to do a film based on woodland folklore I thought it would be a good idea to watch Guillermo Del Toro's criticality acclaimed 'Pan's Labyrinth'.
Being honest I still don't really rate the film and it didn't really help inspire any new ideas. The film seem'd, to me, more focused on the period it was set and instead of expanding on this amazing fantasy world it treat the scenes with Ofelia and her visits into the nether realm as a hindrance.

Test Shoot Date Set!
On Monday the 4th of April I, along with Ryan, Oscar and hopefully Milly will be going to Witton Park, then Billinge Woods to do a test shoot for my FMP. Here I'd like to see how Milly handles her role wile I can play with the various shots needed for the film.
I'd also like to see if we can get the effect of walking on water. I've an idea in mind, set at the lilly pond in Witton Park, for Milly, the nature spirit to walk across the water. I've discovered that I've got two options; the first being simple camera tricks, so on Monday I'll see if we can achieve those shots. The second is the option to use a green/blue screen. That option would be much more difficult and there is no guarantee the shot will even look good, more research into this will be needed.
Hopefully after this series of test I will have a better idea of what I can achieve.
Edit; I've also remembered a place near Feniscolwes, there is a huge thick wood near the church and in the middle of it is a really old structure, I'm not sure what it is but I may have to go and take a look. Perhaps there is a way to get there, it would certainly add to the film if I could shoot a scene there.
