Script updates & Sketchup render (Exterior of Owens place)

Added 2022-03-11 00:03:23 +0000 UTC

Here's a spoiler-free set of screen captures of the rough SketchUp model I threw together for the exterior of Owens apartment. I'll be drawing this thing up for a full page. It'll help me have time to explore the script/s (bellow), and will serve as a time-setup-cleanser between pages of faces! Hope you dig it - Our boy Owen lives in the top left apartment (that lucky devil). It'll be all rocky in the Sarah Square area (I'll also attach the inspirations I'm leaning into)!

If you're interested; it took me like 4-5 hours and is almost entirely built with free models or bits of free models - like for example - most of the greenery is from some dude's succulents models, but scaled up; it all looks the part.

I'll use it as a base, and will pencil over it and zoop it up as I go!

Ok, Spoilers ahead, and probably in the comments section too! As I'm gonna talk about Scripts.

A few days ago I sat down and tippy tapped out two sort-of-new scripts for the current chapter (you can read the spoiler-heavy 80% script here!) The reasons being that I've been long worried about the length of the chapters script, the walls of monologue text, and was worried that having an unconscious Judy next to an awake Nick n Owen who are talking about the things they would all do together - would be breaching some sort of consent and advocacy issue. Especially if you think about how much IRL time it would take for the chapter to get to a point where it would bring that unconscious character back into the loop!

With all that in mind, my two new versions looked like this:

- Judy is awake for the whole intense escalation conversation & participates.

- Judy's KO'd till the end, and Nick and Owen talk to each other one on one, Cuck-to-Bull (original idea, but trimmed down now and with a lot more space for 'we'll double-check with Jude about this when she wakes')

I'd thought by reworking things to have Judy awake, it would give everyone in the room space to play, and it would amplify the intensity. But what's crazy, on revisiting it with fresh eyes today, I realized having Judy awake and engaging with the conversation has actually done the opposite. Nicks lost voice and room to breathe his feelings without added pressure. With Judy excited for what's being talked about, it created a sort of unintentional 2 vs 1 situation. Pulling Nick's advocacy away from him during his key moment, and that's what this chapter is about really; Nick being honest and vulnerable. Somehow instead of gaining intensity, I've lost it!

I'll be tweaking this trimmed down original version a bit more before I share it; I still need to find a way to inject some of Nick's movie voice, but it's feeling tighter than ever now, and I'm really glad to have sat down and tried the other route; like seriously it was bugging me so much - I'm glad to have explored that route, even if it didn't work out... And before you ask, I'm tentative to share it? It's real rough around the edges =/

Very excited to share the trimmed down & tightened up original though (hopefully soon), and feeling so much more confident about it =D

Alright - gonna crack into this environment page. It's gonna be a fun pallet cleanser for me tbh, and maybe an easy one before I dive into the nitty-gritty pages.
