The Spectacular Incredible “Untitled”!

Now that Perfect Ending is over (“it’s finally over”) it’s time to move on to new projects to continue to hone our skills and increase our hands on experience in the wonderful world of no-budget filmmaking.

First up is the Untitled documentary project starting a just a couple of weeks. Untitled because we keep getting good leads that related to the central theme of the original idea but don’t quite match our original intention. But, instead of passing up these great opportunities, it seems better to constantly adjust the unifying theme of the documentary rather than saying “no” to people gracious enough to let us in to there homes and share their time with us.

So, here’s a run down of the evolution so far on “Untitled”:

First working title: “In the Original Box”
Concept: A documentary about toy collectors that have meticulously kept their collections neat and tide in their original boxes. Documentary would include tour or the collection and candid interviews with the collectors and their close friends and family.

Second working title: “Don’t Call Them Toys”
Reason for the title change: We found too many good collections and willing collectors that featured toys and collectables out of their original boxes to stick with the “original box” theme.
Concept: A documentary about toy collectors, mainly Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Superhero. Documentary would include tour or the collection and candid interviews with the collectors and their close friends and family.

Third working title: “Fanaticism”
Reason for title change: We found 2 “things”, I don’t know what you’d even call them, that aren’t toys but are a collection of sorts and would be fascinating to film.
Concept: Uh… I’ll get back to you.

Forth working title: Untitled
Reason for title change: Found even more indescribable collections/homage/I don’t know what to call them, so until I have all the interviews and tour scheduled, I’m not committing to a title.

Oddly enough during the course of these changes, the questions we’ve been tossing around to ask the collectors and the friends and family don’t need that much adjusting, they’re still applicable, at least with some minor tweaking. Good thing I haven’t actually written down any questions yet.
