Spencer From ICarly     Nickelodeon's classic television series ICarly  has cemented itself in TV history to the younger generation. Though it's lovable characters, quirky setting and interesting stories are the main attractors, one aspect of the show I kept returning to would be the character of Spencer. He is the older brother of the man character, he is played by Jerry Trainor and adds great comedic relief through his character's interesting art portfolio. The artwork that Spencer produces can only be best described as expressive and confusing. I believe that though in reality, all of the art was produced by the writers of the show, I want to analyze each piece through the mind of Spencer. Here is Bottle Bot , it has appeared in every episode of the show, as it is a piece set decoration in Spencer's apartment. Through the eyes of Spencer, I believe the piece to represent Spencer himself. Multiple times throughout the show, Spencer will break down and express his desi...

 How I Plan To Make The Film     Doubling down on this low budget aesthetic for the film, I plan to make use of the look for comedic effect. Adobe software's such as Premiere Pro and After Effects provide many ways for any film maker to preform many effects such as title sequences, and adding computer generated imagery, but I plan to forgo that for my film. The entire project will be filmed using carboard effects, titles, costumes, everything. There are multiples way I plan to get around the lack of computer effects, below I provided a drawing of how the effects will be made in simple ways. For most projects I have made, getting releases and permission to film on a location has added unnecessary time, so for controlled lighting and an open space, I will film a majority of the movie in my garage.

 Sources Of Inspiration     There are many many films that I love so dearly much, but if I was forced to pick a single favorite movie, it would be Monty Python And The Holy Grail . Though I live in a time where the group is long since pasted and I will never be able to the join the group, I can try my hardest to replicate the feeling of absurd and nonsensical comedy. My desired theme for this project is the Spirit Realm, so to combine the spiritual and serious theme of a different realm with the absurd and frankly stupid comedic tropes similar to that of the Monty Python group would be amazing to make. Although the serious nature of most spirit realm films would be hard to merge with the comedic nature, films such as Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters  have made the transition possible. 

 Production Update     As production continues, the desired look for the film begins to evolve as well. The desired aesthetic of the film will be hyper low budget, raw, and comedic. The reason for this looks comes from a previously mentioned group of creators on YouTube called Mega64 , the most popular example of this look comes from their comedic retelling of the Japanese animated show Dragon Ball Z . The group at Mega64 could not make quality versions of the characters costumes without appearing cheesy and crappy, so they instead doubled down on this look. The low budget look that comes with carboard costumes has always been appealing to me, so to make this film, I decided to make all the sets and costumes with carboard.  Here is the planned mask for the dragon which is the central antagonist of the film. The pig like look for the dragon came from the original look of King Koopa from the Mario Bros series.  And here is the link to the inspiration for the...
