Guillermo del Toro is the master of story telling. After seeing Hellboy II, I realized one major thing you could see between it and Pan's Labyrinth: if you take away all the sci-fi elements, you have a really great story. His ability, however, to cross over the sci-fi with the actual story elements is more than impressive, it's downright awesome! Just wait till you see the drunken song that Abe Sapen and Hellboy sing over a six pack of Tecate beer! Not to mention the fight scene between Krauss the ghost and Hellboy in the locker room.
Also, as Brian mentioned in the previous post, we've been watching Alfred Hitchcock movies. If we are to meet up and brainstorm, I propose we watch directors like Hitchcock and Guillermo del Torro as we do it. It provides us a great opportunity to sketch as well as observe visual storytelling! I'm thinking we could meet once a week, possible on Tuesday or Saturday depending on your schedules. Any of our houses would be good, but for now we can settle on it through consensus. I have a rough Idea of the pre pro process, and I'd like to give you all a handout with it roughly explaned.
BTW, any of you are welcome to post anything interesting to the group on this blog. It's all of ours!
