A bit late for Valentine's Day

I'm not going to have the "Soulmates in Peril" video ready in time for Valentine's Day but hopefully in time for when the Self-Portrait is due. Dennis is usually pretty flexible about that deadline since I doubt anyone else in the class will be ready either. Krys didn't have that romantic Flash project she was trying to do ready for out anniversary either so I'll just have to do some other stuff for her tomorrow and give it to her when I'm done.

I think I've gotten most of it rendered, now I have to come up with dialogue for the narration and for the comic balloons. I've been looking at different styles, like this romance novel blurb.



But Krys didn't seem to like it as much as the clip from Voyager, she seemed to like more of the Klingon style of Romance Novels.



I can do more of that kind especially during the sword fight between her and Belle. I was going for a mix of styles between a Fairy Tale, Romance Novel and Fractured Fairy Tale.


I like the humorous style of the Fractured Fairy Tale and the way they always had a moral to it since the whole point to the video was the way that love, intimacy and cooperation triumphed over selfishness, competition and betrayal. What I have so far is:

"Once upon a time. There were some Soulmates who dwelled in a beautiful garden. They shared such an intimate connection that their lives were a dance of joy where they flowed as one.

But just as there is no light without darkness, some were too selfish to be filled with that awareness of joy and coveted the source of power in the enchanted garden.


Like a snake Belle slithered into the garden to grab his imzadi by surprise then disappeared before her soulmate could react in time to stop Belle.

Belle did everything to escape from him by fleeing through all part of the globe.
But his imzadi meant more than life itself to him so he followed Belle like a bloodhound.

He chased after Belle desperately since there was no mountain too high and no river too wide. For he would go to any lengths to rescue his soulmate.

Even though he was faced with a terrible danger if the Purple Rose fell into the hands of such a malicious entity. When his imzadi was in mortal peril he did not hesitate because his love for her was too damn much. He would have to trust her that they could change the situation together. so that the masses did not take the damage meant for her.
