3D Foundation Logbook

Notes for the Character Dossier:
We settled on Phil Bulbman (as in Philips bulbs, ha!)
He's a 60W (not real bright) light bulb (still debating whether or not he's clear or soft-white).
Occupation: Lighting
Eyes: Black text - "Philips" and "60W"
Marital Status: Single
Lives: New York City Apartment, 3rd floor, 2BR
Height: 100cm (big bulb!)
Base: Shiny metal (alum)
Age: 35
Personality: Impatient
He's jealous of CCFL (high-efficiency) light bulbs, so he is trying to better himself through meditation. After 15 years in NYC he is losing his brightness and is trying to regain it. He's feeling a little "burned-out" from working so hard to a make a living in NYC. He moved to NYC to find a better life and experience the big city. He was born and raised in Alburnett, IA (pop. 559). Sick of living in a small town with nothing to do so he moved to NYC to experience more things. Trying to make himself patient so he can make friends and find a girlfriend.

General Notes:
It has been quite enjoyable coming up with the fictional life of Phil Bulbman. Andrew and I have had a lot of fun. We seem to work well as a team, both bringing ideas to the table and hashing them out without drama. He seems keen on the project, which is good as we have quite a bit of work ahead. We need to clarify our specific roles as we go ahead with the project.

I have been using a free program called celtx, available on the net. It helps do pre-production. It has been handy for organizing our ideas and collaborating over the web.
We need to get our storyboard sorted soon and loaded into celtx as it is due on the 11th.
