My New Camera

I just got this yesterday and I am more that a little excited. I have to get to know this camera very fast because I have a project due tomorrow and I plan to use it. Too bad it is raining out. I am excited that I will be able to film my project in HDV. Now, how do I get an HiDef projector? Posted by Picasa

Perhaps, power destroys

I just had a thought about looking at how power corrupts. Looking at the government and the arrogance of power and how it makes people do things that they eventually regret. Also how people forget and after a while even the once most hated man in America can return to run for president.

Sitting at the EMMA Lab

This is me. Sitting and thinking about this project and trying to imagine what it will look like. I think I will create a character based on me, my look and to some extent my life. However, much of it will be fictional but based in reality. Posted by Picasa

Ron Vernon

Ron Vernon is the main character in this game. He grew up in a small North Carolina town. Religion was central to life in his small town and he was a very religious person mostly because that was all he knew. The world that he lived in was very specific in its ideas and in its purpose. Everything changed when he left town and met people who found his way of life to be strange and unatural. He looked for others who believed as he did so he could find comfort and so that he could know himself. If everything he had ever belived was wrong then he was no one. Nothing created more fear and panic in Ron Vernon than being without an identity. Soon he would discover that giving people and identity made him a very powerful person. This power would allow him to ingest great amouts of evil and still have people see him as good because of an ability to make them feel important.

First Idea

So, I want to create a live video game. However, it is not the video game I am interested in. I want to touch people and make them understand something that I believe. That is that everything must exist. The good, the bad and everything in between. We must find goodness whenever we can but we must also accept the bad when it approaches and arrives. We should not let bad linger neither should good become the norm. Somehow we should live on the edge of both worlds falling frequently into both.
