Inspiration.
Often it comes from prior manifestations of thought, or sometimes, born from nothing at all.
A few weeks ago, I was playing The Matrix Online on the computer. I always knew the world of The Matrix was a vast one, consisting of both the virtual realm and ‘reality’. What attracted me, particularly, was the fact that in that virtual realm, how code merges seamlessly with the perceived world, built to a twisted form of perfection.
I was drawn in, the next thing I knew, I was watching the Animatrix shorts and devouring whatever information I can glean from the different stories and the raison d’etre of the various characters. In my head, I played with what-ifs and why-nots, focusing on an aspect from Final Flight of the Osiris, where the female lead, Jue, sends off a package, a metaphor for e-mail (a metaphor in itself really, but I shan’t digress).
I have tinkered with this idea and drafted a short script from the rough ideas. Slowly the script developed and by March, it was done. More on the development next week.
Signing off,
