Bathroom Stall Galactica - Production Post #1

It has been a little while since I have written an update, and a lot has changed over the final month of the semester. The pitch for Spaghetti Western was well received and enjoyed, however, it was a bit ambitious in scope and therefore rejected as one of my cohort's senior thesis shorts. Now, I am collaborating with my friends on a short I contributed to early on, called Bathroom Stall Galactica.


The premise of this short film is a man, lets call him Jeremiah Beige, gets abducted by aliens and struggles to use an onboard bathroom. The film's north star is expectation subversion, so the whole short is a lot of literal button mashing and physical comedy to escalate the confusion into utter panic.


With a plethora of other projects and responsibilities to focus on, our team has stayed pretty close in production materials to the initial pitch. We have met several times, and those meetings were largely oriented around creating our schedule for the upcoming semester. As it stands, we have a sizeable asset list, a shot list, a drawn animatic, a white boxed animatic, and a loose calendar for our Spring semester. We know that we are interested in having our short in Unreal Engine, so we are going to dedicate our first three weeks to refining any art direction materials with a specific context of functionality in Unreal Engine. Afterwards, we are going to start building the bathroom environment, our alien and human characters, and the exterior of the UFO.


While we aren't resting on any laurels, as this semester comes to an end, we are going to step back, focus on our families, and rejuvenate so we start the next semester off running!
