My newest pet project: Fantasmagoria!
16 years ago
General
Recently, I've been spending a lot of my time putting all my work into a movie project of an original basis. That project, my friends, is called "Fantasmagoria"! :D Partially inspired by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" & Ralph Bakshi's "Cool World", it is a delightful, family-oriented film combining animation & live-action, classical music & modern-day tunes, comedy & drama, & all sorts of other things! :D
Now, what is the premise of the movie, you're probably wondering? Well, it all begins with the heroine, Chartreuse Oman (portrayed by me). She is an aspiring cartoonist who is working under the wing of her mentor, Walt Rogers (portrayed by Prince); she hopes to make her big break in the animation industry, just as soon as she completes work on her "pet project"--an animated TV show about a multi-sectioned universe, filled with all sorts of zany characters (& it's called--what else?--"Fantasmagoria"). Chartreuse & Walt meet up with a potential agent (Gabriel Byrne), who will be more than happy to represent the former when she finishes her script for the pilot episode of "Fantasmagoria"--& illustrations for all the worlds & characters that will be a part of the show!
Filled with new hope of getting her feet off the ground, Chartreuse goes on a creative streak, then--for reasons not exactly known to her--suffers a "slump" in her artistic output. She turns to Walt for guidance, & Walt tells her, "Inspiration can be found in the strangest of places...often where you least expect it." Walt's words prove to be more than true when Chartreuse, in the middle of the night, is whisked away from her bedroom / studio into the Central Hub of the very world she plans to portray in her TV show...the world of Fantasmagoria! ^_^
From the moment she arrives in the "magical, mystical, madcap" universe of her stories, Chartreuse finds herself going on a series of imaginative adventures, as she befriends several of Fantasmagoria's inhabitants, including (but most certainly not limited to) Alexia (a benevolent Alex-DeLarge-like character), General Buck Scott (a tough-talking army general modeled after Gen. Buck Turgidson, George Patton, & George C. Scott), Ace (a hyperactive gambler), Betsy (a knowledgeable centipede-like creature who's got information in her built-in computer consoles on just about everything in Fantasmagoria), Donna (a lovely mouse dancer), Rainbow (a good-natured lady hippie with an obsession for the very thing she's named after), & Mr. Demetrius Metamorph (a comical character based on Peter Sellers who has plenty of multiple personalities, each with their own different name, look, mannerisms, & whatnot).
But danger soon threatens the idyllic paradise of which we speak, as the conservative political party (the evil Left-Brainers) is planning to take possession of a powerful Super-Crystal that could change Fantasmagoria forever...& not for the better! Will Chartreuse & our band of heroes be able to defeat the Left-Brainers, & prevent Fantasmagoria from turning into a Realist dystopia? That, my friends, is for you to find out! ^_^ If I ever get this baby finished (so many ideas flooding my brain...!), & turn it into an actual movie (as I hope to do with my other movie projects), I think it'll be a real treat for you to see! :D In the meantime, here's some "Fantasmagoria"-related art & writing to hold you over...& there's plenty more to come in the future! ;)
