Brain storming ideas for an artistic intro video

[Modern Day Myth Prod. LLC]

What should my lead actress and I include for a one minute artistic intro video for our film? We are hoping to shoot this Sunday. This is for our entry into the NYTVF.

Classics intros:
James Bond movies
MIB (1)
Extreme macro cinematography of some innocuous object in the opening scene.

Depends on your skills and abilities.

WG, they don't want the movie teaser explosive opening from the script. They want an introduction to the artistic direction of the film. I'm thinking we should talk about what has happened to Earth on the future and how Delta Four differs from Earth. Squeezing that into one minute will be a challenge.

Sorry, I don't understand you


Sound like they want a "directors technical cometary" introduction the movie.
Sounds like you want a "mini backstory setup" for the plot.

Yeah. I'm using the festival's terminology. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

When they ask for an artistic intro, it sounds more like they want the. Combo and it is to be presented by a cast member and the creator of the film, according to their guidelines.

It is called, One-minute “Artist Commentary” siting anything of interest viewers should look out for.

Anyone do this before?

When they say playable DVDs and data DVDs with files burned onto a data DVD, don't they realize those are 2 different types of DVDs?

This isn't brain surgery people.

This is what I came up with so far:


We need to point viewers and investors on what they should look out for in the film. Shooting with greenscreen to use virtual reality sets and shooting in public parks with a forest for a military background to save money. If the series were to get picked up by a small network, such as SyFy, we will continue to work very thrifty to save money where expensive sets won't be necessary.

The pilot begins with Artemis creating the universe and jumps 14 Billion years later to when the Earth had a nuclear war where three cyborgs leave to journey to a more advanced world, Delta Four that evolved differently than Earth where women have physically superior to men from the beginning of their history. How that effected their history to be different to Earth's is what we introduce and their world at a point where they have created artificial beings, cyborgs and robot spaceships with greater than human intelligence as their history is about to change as their AI machines struggle to take their place in the world of humans.

What happens when humans play god and god comes knocking on their door to head off a conflict that can end with the extinction of humans? Who can benefit from this carnage? An ancient evil who draws its power from war with the destruction of life -- Ares. As a fertility goddess who creates life throughout the universe, Artemis is the enemy of Ares because she stands for life and harmony.

As powerful as the cyborgs are compared to their human creators, they too can become the pawns of the gods in their battle over life and death.

This series will not be limited to just a war between humans and machines. Our universe has other dangers which will bring cyborgs and humans together to fight common enemies, such as the silver demon hunters who hunt humans for sport on far off alien worlds.

So, please enjoy our show as we introduce our strange new world.
