"Explore verisimilitude using only light, paper and string. Hint: think
of the act of drawing."
I interpreted it this way: "explore verisimilitude" Use the simple materials listed to
make a creative cinematic representation/suspension of disbelief that might be
difficult to produce in live action. Perhaps in the manner that some trailers
function as an abstracted theme-encapsulating mini movie (e.g. in the opening
ceremonies article)
I'm going to explore two-dimensionalality and probably have a protagonist with an eyepatch. Paper targets on a shooting range is likely to be one of my scenes. Maybe a lifesize standup of darth vader too. Indonesian shadow puppet plays and silhouettes have so far provided some inspiration. Inverted shadows (shadow as a light in the dark) is a challenge I might like to attempt.
Thematically, I'm probably moving towards a story about regret and surprisingly, revised history, a bit like the last assignment.
