Dennis Michael Lane gave a shot "Can Do The Poetry" for The Atomic Kids

The Atomic Kids > Create the dead girls Art and Poetry > Can Do The Poetry
Hey all...so as part of the marketing I would love to create the "dead girls" art. Paintings and poems and video imagery without anyone in it. It should be solemn, lonely and at times ANGRY in an advanced "teenage angst" type of way. Anyone want to take a stab at how society resembles the highschool hierarchy? Remember they are also into psychedelics.

Hi,

I can write you a range of poems for this. In the time that you have been working on this have you developed the character further, names, any other details? Is this movie to be contemporary? etc. etc.

Have some samples of my poems at http://dennislanebooks.com/#/poetry/4544651060

I like where you are going with these themes. I would love to have each of THE SIX represent various states of fame but I don't want this to be over the top. I want it to be played subtly. However with that said, I like these themes: Girl 1: -The celebrity who becomes obsessed with their own image, using every moment to train themselves for their media career. She is an "internet" whore. Girl 2: -The celebrity who becomes the victim of a stalker. Online, and eventual real life. Perhaps this person is throughout the film, kind of like the obsesses girl in law of attraction. Girl 3: -More famous now that she is dead. This is thier friend who kills themself. Perfect. Guy 1: -The celebrity who tries to ignore their fame and live a normal life, but keeps running into problems caused by fans. Guy 2: -The least famous of the six. He becomes insecure with himself, yet he is talented in his own right. In the end his art rises as the others fall. Guy 3: -The controversial celebrity whose every move is nothing more than attempts to getting attention. There. Those are the 6 basic characteristics.

I think this is a good start. You have hit the nail on many parts. If we can get a few people giving ideas on this site and me/you guide the storyline a little bit we can come up with something brilliant. I would like to sprinkle in the Beatles rise to fame storyline a little bit. Not event for event but enough for some to see similarities and be familiar. Plus the Beatles are a good hot word for description and marketing AND it goes along with the storyline. I am really looking forward to this. We just need to get it active.

A friend on FB, and a fellow writer asked me to explain the project to her a bit more, after she saw the post. Here's what I told her "I think there's an inciting event, and there's definitely a premise, but I don't think we have anything close to a story or plot just yet, though it looks like there's plenty of options and promise in the character descriptions and premise. I think that's kinda gonna be my job... So far, it seems like a group, perhaps a collective or some kind of communal situation. There's the dead girl, which really has promise, b/c she gets to start out perfect, unlike the rest of the gang, who are still alive and can easily showcase their flaws. With the dead girl, you have to wait to learn her flaws through flashback and/or anecdote, and if you pair that with her posthumous rise as an artist, it makes my mouth water a little as i think about how the other five choose to deal with this accidental legacy that is left them and the events that it can work as a catalyst for. The theme seems to be something along the lines of fame, its fickle nature, and how it affects this group."

Are these anywhere in the vicinity of the direction you are looking for? BTW.. How many kids should there be on top of the cloud? Four or five? PS. Don't use these in anything official. These are just drafts. I don't own the rights to the photos or the kids' pictures. If you like 'em, i will paint the cloud and draw the kids myself, and realize the second one in one way or another. !Ý gracias, Roberto, por tu contribucíon! Intentaba seguir el espíritu de tu idéa en el secundo y tercero variación de estos croquis...

We know there are 6 main characters. None of them have names, none of the have characteristics. All we have is the concept. I am looking for ideas, thoughts, images, anything that may spur the characters.

The Atomic Kids > Defining the characters > Dead Girl
by: Larry Mitchell
What if the Dead Girl's art is not only created during prod, but marketed in it's own right, kind of similar to what I think you'd like to do with the twittering, etc. And, if she had a Face or Space page, the other members of the group could argue about the propriety of her posthumous prosperity on that page(s). Who in the group is responsible for posting her stuff and capitalizing on her art?

It is a decent idea that I think needs a little flushing out...I want the group to be cohesive but I could see an argument about it. Maybe at first they start running it as a community group and as they raise to stardom.

New task: Create the dead girls Art and Poetry

Hey all...so as part of the marketing I would love to create the "dead girls" art. Paintings and poems and video imagery without anyone in it. It should be solemn, lonely and at times ANGRY in an advanced "teenage angst" type of way.

I have decided to give this another try...the current process will be about creating the "vibe" and images that will help market the project online. I will be making some executive decisions soon to move forward with. I will cast 6 actors who will take on these roles and who will create the art that the Atomic Kids will become famous for... Watch as we experiment with the internet/filmmaking process.
