Man: potential actor = Michael Skinner....other options= Julia's friend, julia's actor (forgot their names)
Buddha/God/Theif/Consumer = Ben Ossia ... absolutely wonderful for the part
Materials needed
Black goo of word souls to be eaten by Ben: big thingy of yohgurt, black food coloring (Safeway)
Lights --> Glazers...ok..we seriously need more lights for this class cuz i'm broke
Men's Shoes --> collecting shoes from people's Dads (my dad, alexis shoes, julia's dad)
Buddha Earrings - Gold, in car
Microphone --> Alexis
Man walking around...empty shoes lying in places where ppl UPped. Like someone who was climbing the stair...one on one step, one on above step....man leaning against wall/or waiting for the bus...shoes surrounding them as other ppl who UPped while waiting for the bus too. ALL SHOES MUST BE UNTIED. The whole world will be scintillating (after effects)...can photo shop Ben blue (motion control photoshop zombie creative cow tutorial). As passes or nears the shoes can hear voices of words that were sucked up. (Alexis sound help)...need to pick out words carefully/maybe things about expression but also casual things...sometimes see trickle of words waft by, very subtle and very fast/sketchy...arrives at the buddha who eats this black goo...words sprout on his body...an "a" dribbles down his chin. See Man's shoes start to undo themselves.
Look out for storyboards/shooting locations posted 2night!

in the end my video ended up being born of a Buddhist practice as well - the deconstruction/reconstruction of zen shrines in japan and the impermanence of structure - but i think the core of so many Buddhist sayings and practices is the idea of living in the now - which i thought you got at nicely, and lends itself to time based media.
