just fine too by the way) Yes, Enya will definately be involved, the Doctor of course, although new to her job, Mercedez will have to take a much more active role as well. We had a great time putting the story together. DE was the motivating factor for this one. We went to the location twice as the first time it got dark on us. But it was a lot of fun to shoot as usual.
Pre-planning.....first we wanted Nahnaya and Frank to run into each other again so we thought about how we wanted to do that. I still needed to get Enya a computer and we often like to tie different stories together in the same chapter so after we decided they would meet by "accident" I decided Frank was getting Enya the computer. We usually don't do the script first. We have an idea of what we want the story to be about, but it has happened so many times that the pictures actually change the direction of the story that we wait until after we look at the pictures to write the script. The pictures often speak for themselves and ideas change a lot from how we first think the story is going to come out.
Hope that answers your question.
