Those were some excellent points guys.
1.) I agree about the newsreel footage. It wouldn't make sense if it looked newsreel-ly. But I do want to avoid having anything too clean or familiar also.
2.) I also think we should have the visions build from moderate to horrific (or as horrific as we can while staying true to the spirit of the series). This way we can imply that the visions get worse as they go until ultimately she seess things that noone could handle thus contributing at least to her combustion.
3.) What are your thoughts on sound and music? Should we use a nice hauting piece of classic Indy music here? Just sound effects? Nothing?
4.) I also think we should avoid going TOO much into the future. Again, we hint that that is the direction the visions are heading, but we stop around Vietnam i think. I don't want to make a commentary here on current forgien affairs - ESPECIALLY Iraq. We need history that is distant enough to have been studied and examined for decades with perspective.
5.) I'm excited by this, but it clearly requires resources and skills that I just don't possess... I'm afraid that unless someone takes this particular bit on, that I will have to just live with the climax as is (or with minor cuts). I'd lveo tostep up, but this is a risky and difficult edit that will require a high level of seamlessness and polish to do the idea justice. If done correctly though. Wow. Could be very powerful and more importantly it gives us some good stuff besides aliens to provide payoff in the end.
