taking shape

Hello team,


Things seems to be really taking shape. that's great. Some superb, and creepy clips and images Fedias, thank you for coming up with so many ideas. I personally like the more ghostly / foggy kind of thing than the blood thirsty themes, but that is probably just my response to the 'goosbumps' concept...that of being uncomfortable / fear of the unknown, rather than the 'known'...? 


I've sent out some very basic sound files, but I'm thinking with the direction this is going in, that it maybe more appropriate for me to create the soundworld as a response to the imagery. If you could bear in mind one of the first ideas we had of sound / image not always playing at the same time, so perhaps not even as blatant as darkness / silence, but moments of stillness in either the image or sound (for example, i could create a track which is just a heartbeat, or breathing as a still environment?)


The test based whisperings are just made up vocabulary, but I could probably find some kind of satanic text if you prefer a specific text based undertone...

Sylvia, the Sweeny Todd thing made me think...
last week we met Stephen Sondheim, the composer of Sweeny, and he was talking about how the musical was adapted by Tim Burton to make the movie. Originally, the movie was going to open with men singing the sweeny theme. At the opening, we would not know who these men were in relation to the story. However, when these men made their first appearance throughout the film, they would have a small cut on the side of their neck, with a drop of blood. It would transpire that these were the men who were going to be Sweeny's victims...
as it happens, in the end, this clever idea was not used, because Burton found that trying to incorporate it into the movie was interrupting the flow of the film. 
Anyway, I don't know how relevant that is, but I thought you'd find it interesting, that's all!
