The second draft of Return to Earth is starting to take shape.  I’ve been thinking hard about the first draft and made some major changes to better define the story.  Two main characters have not survived so far, and some supporting characters have come to the fore, along with some major sequences being dropped.

The aim is to make Return to Earth on as tight a budget as we can, so I’m limiting the action as much as I can to the moon base, try to get a real sense of claustrophobia and unease.  

I’ve also been playing with Bryce to create some views of the Moon and Earth, the results can be seen in the header graphic.  Not bad, should serve us well for the visual pitch.

On the production front, I’ve secured, in the loosest possible terms, the services of a top notch sound engineer (*cough* BAFTA and Oscar^TM winner *cough*) and a very talented editor (no, not me!).  There are also willing designers, production crew and musicians waiting in the wings.

It’s early days yet, but it’s good to know that such quality people are keen to come on board already.
