Recon?!?!?!?

INT. JIM JANNARD"S OFFICE -- DAY

Action happens as the 3rd movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony plays. Jarred and the rest of the team walk towards the blurred shape of Jim's desk, where Jim labors on his computer. They quietly surround the desk, the camera cutting to their POV, looking down on Jim, who's smoking a cigar and looks at them with a trusting, inquisitive smile on his face. From Jim's POV, we see the onlookers suddenly move in on him, their arms filling up the screen. In quick cuts, Jim is subdued, his distraught face shooting looks of virile rage towards Jarred, whose reply is nothing more than a cold stare. As we start to go out of focus, Jim is being dragged through a corridor, the outside light coming through the windows surrounding his struggling body and those of his captors, rendering them into silhouettes. Cut to CU of Jarred's eyes, coldly following the action. He then turns around towards Jim's desk, sits, grabs the mouse and starts working in Jim's computer. All secret RED files start being deleted, as diagrams of the Pro lenses, Scarlet, Epic, Mysterium X, etc flash on the screen. Eventually, the message "Full Deletion Complete" appears and Jarred starts getting up. A cut to his face shows he's remembered something. On quick CU cuts, Jarred tipes away on the keyboard and we see the controlling interface of Reduser being opened. The message "Permanently delete Recon thread?" appears, and Jarred's eyes move from that to the header of Recon, where in a quick zoom we see the "Words by Jim" under Recon. Jarred's eyes blink almost imperceptibly. His finger clicks the mouse button. As Jarred gets up and walks away in out of focus foreground, the message "Recon thread permanently deleted" flashes on Jim's 30" Apple monitor, and to the side of the screen, his Cuban cigar smolders away. Cut to a room with metallic walls and a cold look, a big vault door at its center. Jarred enters, walks to a phone on the wall and dials a long combination of numbers. He then speaks into the phone in what sounds like Japanese. Jarred's hand hangs up the phone, and from there we follow it to a pocket in his pants, from where he extracts a switch blade knife. In a wide shot, we see Jarred remove his clothes, exposing his naked form. He then makes a deep lengthwise cut into his forearm, exposing a titanium endoskeleton underneath, and in one sweeping, monumental move, he rips the skin off from his body, leaving a blood smeared, glowing T-800 terminator body exposed. CU on the red eyes, and to a blurred word imprinted on the metal in between the eyes. As the focus racks in, we can read the "Property of Sony Electronics" tag. The terminator pounding theme music grows in crescendo. Fade to Black.

so now you know what happened to Recon...



Nothing personal Jarred, but story telling comes first and this was the best plot point :-)

Heheh, Rudi! - This is too funny. I can see how it would begin.

OPENING SCENE - PRESENT DAY​

T-Jarred intercepts a young Boy walking home from school down a country road during the fall months somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. The Boy is intimidated by the tall figure who steps out from behind a tree and gazes down upon him, obscuring the sun.

T-Jarred​
"Hello. I am going to ask you a few questions and I want them answered immediately..."
"Who is your Daddy, and what does he do?"...:cool:
 
LOL, loved the story arc. Especially loved the terminator reference (T2 was the film that got me into cinema!).

I think it is a great idea, Jarred. Just a question: how is the new section going to be organized? Are sticky's such as David Mullen's thread going to be moved there, or is it going to be RED TEAM only? :}
 
Rudi, very good! Bravo!!!!

Sony yes, but I believe Jim also has film/Arri in his blood?

Think about the vision/mix that brought the Red One all the way to existence!!!!

How dose Jim's blood run: pixels or silver? How dose the eye see: 2/3" or 35mm. How dose the arm move 180 degrees or 1/48th?

Jim what say you El Capitan? digital or organic?
