A few words about my 1st script

Somewhere in March(This year):

My table clock showed 9 am. The book that lay open on the table showed some random physics lesson. My eyes were unfocused. As I failed to register the line I was reading for the fifth time, I sighed and looked up. The pale yellow wall suddenly had become much more interesting than the physics shit. Bored, I started thinking. Within 5 min, a text was directed to my best friend containing the theme I had devised in the 5 min. I vividly remember the last line I typed-
I am having an irresistible urge to direct this into a movie.
We texted back and forth over it for next 45 min and finally I dismissed it as one of the things life can't fulfill.

The next morning I got a message from him-
Would you like to make this into an animation movie?

Hell, YEAH!- Was my instant mental reflex. In spite of not being much into animation, if the dream materializes into a motion picture, as per my whims, why not?

So it turned out that his friend who's into animation wants to make a 10 min film for his own resume. Of course it will be posted on youtube and I'll get to display myself on a bigger platform. So I was all for it and within the next week got the script ready. That I did it at the cost of my studies is a different issue. But my satisfaction at the way it turned out ate up the disappointment at myself for ignoring studies.

Eventually, the film didn't work out for some other reasons and though my friend says, " There's hope. But don't get it too high," I take these words as " Nah dude, its not gonna happen."

Note-

1.The poem in the story is not my own. I lifted of straight from internet shelves. Yeah, its sad that I am not much of a poet.

2. The script has been written in an informal tone. I am not much of a script-writer either.


Anyway, presenting before you, a script that is more than a script. It has details of cinematography, some instructions for direction. Hope you can visualize it.

P.S. I backspaced the original last line " Hope you like it" because of one simple reason- I know you will!
