But I digress...
While I was going through my production folder and just sorting things out, I came across a scene I had thumbnailed this past summer that had long since been excluded from the film so far. However, I still thought it was a cute scene and wanted to share it anyway:
I had talked about this scene in one of my previous posts and why it was taken out. My intention was the show Oliver's human side and how while he can hunt, he also lives in a cabin and relies on human resources as much as he tries to live as a wild, solitary animal. However, because his hunting skills aren't up to par, he is hardly able to catch his food and being a kid living alone in the wilderness, I can't imagine he'd have any money to pay for much human food. To add insult to injury, a little mouse comes along and robs him of both sources of food basically.
The reason I ended up scrapping this scene was it added unnecessary time and it made the point of who he was kind of redundant. I've already established he's not good at hunting and dealing with confrontation in the beginning and that he's basically alone. Still, I was pretty happy with how it was all staged out anyway and it's good to kind of look back on it from time to time because while it's small, it is a quaint little home. Also, was really proud of those hands...hands are never my strong point. His cabin still does show up later in the story, in fact, I am using the same establishing shot later (*cough* Act III), however, I don't think I'll need to show the inside of it...at least not for this film.
