Story cards I

Back when I was wholeheartedly committed to being a struggling screenwriter/filmmaker, I would draw story cards to help me keep track of how a story was being plotted. I’d tape the cards to the wall so I could scan them with my eyes and let each image incite my memory of the scenes and how well they were playing out. That seemed to work better for me than the usual index card method with the written scene descriptions.

A lot of them actually ended up looking kind of cool, as far as manic scribbles go. They’re kind of provocative, out of context:

A while back I was feeling a little paranoid about somehow losing all my artwork so I started compulsively scanning all my old stuff and uploading it to my external hard drive. It holds one TERABYTE of information – that’s 1,024 GIGABYTES, in case you were wondering. I didn’t even know terabytes existed until earlier this year.

So now I have this little black box that’s continuously being filled with digital copies of everything I care about that can be digitized (mostly old photos, projects, my music collection). It’s a miniature version of that monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
