A Love story

I was watching this Mini Documentary on you tube about the talents of a well known hip-hop legend by the name of Pete Rock, and he is mostly known for creating what's called the "Remix", Inspiration took it's toll on me, and so my mind starting to spin into a creative cycle of ideas for a short film that I think would blow the minds of ordinary people away, at least visually any how.
This piece could be described as my own "Vanilla Sky" or "Across the Universe" of sorts, I'm talking about a piece that's basically Orchestrating multi-generational songs into a ST(sound track) and I don't care if I have to get the rights to the music or do my own versions of the song or create songs with similar tones! I want to do it.

But that just won't be the entire point of the video, it does have a story arch to it! I'm thinking of a love story that deals with the oldest theme of them all, It's actually Shakespearean! the theme of "Great love, can even defy death" Two characters I'm thinking, with a few supporting characters, etc.

Now I already now that I want to utilize the green screen in this piece in some way, So on that note it will have SFX and I will write out a treatment and the script before the end of the week, if I have time I'm thinking before this following Friday, and let the class read it on that same day with a possible production schedule.
