"You once were a ve-gone, but now you will be gone." - Scott Pilgrim

Very quickly I would like to just look back and make a post on one of my biggest inspirations for this project: Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010)

This movie has been my favorite movie for years now. Not only does it star some actors that I absolutely love (Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, etc) but also it is based on a super cool comic series of the same name. However, none of these things compare to the true reason for my love of this game. This game inspires me so much and brings me so much joy because it is truly designed to feel like a video game. Its pace changes at the drop of a hat, and there is a very clever use of retro game sounds for different events occurring such as whenever Scott is in a battle or when he finds something. The visual editing is also incredible and very reminiscent of retro games such as Pac-Man or The Legend of Zelda. These vibes are exactly what I want for my film opening since mine is based on a solo indie game developer, I think the video game aesthetic would look really cool to kind of immerse the viewer in that video game world and mindset.

Now I'm not saying I want to go full Ready Player One (2018), but I think some video game sound effects and maybe a pixel font for the opening credits could really sell the whole video game creator idea and give the kind of aesthetic I am hoping to create with this film opening.
