Topic: My Uncle Sam--A Revolutionary War Film For TOY
ATTENTION! MY UNCEL SAM IS CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! I AM UNDERTAKING A BIGGER PROJECT AND WILL NOT BE ENTERING TOY (PROBABLY)! THE FILM WILL STILL BE MADE, IT'S JUST ON TEMPORARY HIATUS! THANK YOU!
MY UNCLE SAM
Hello, I'm working very hard on my TOY entry (like everyone else) and I thought I might create a thread for it. My film is about the American Revolution which is a rebellion that took place in colonial U.S for freedom from England. My story is called "My Uncle Sam", and it's about a young boy named Will who is trying to decide if he's a Patriot (Rebel) or a Loyalist (Not Rebel) in a town with severe consequences for both choices. A casting call is coming when I'm done with the script. There will be frames and tests posted, and feel free to voice your opinion when asked. I will try to update progress frequently, but be patient.

Still scripting. I am maybe 3/5 done with the script, with 3 days at it. I have maybe 9 scenes done, at 12 pages. This is the longest project I've undertaken. I hope to get to the climax of the story in a few days. I'm trying to get the dialogue natural for that period, and doing research to get my facts right, but it's still historical fiction. I hope to get this:
to complete the colonial village set, but I have no idea how.

I'll script some more tonight. I think it's gonna be better than "Small World".
