Captured Melody is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of Captured Melody must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
 

Pitch:

My name is Melissa Garza and I am seeking financial and equipment contributions for my Chapman University MFA thesis film Captured Melody. For the past two years, I have worked in the visual effects industry on such projects as Tron Legacy, Avatar, Night at the Museum 2, and various other multimedia theme park attractions.

This 23 minute film will be shot in stereoscopic 3D and utilize performance capture technology to bring the story to life. 

Captured Melody will be a brand name that provides impact and entertainment on an educational level to young girls.  It will inspire them to be confident with whom they are inside and make better choices in love relationships as they grow up to become adults.

For all you 3D enthusists, you can view the pitch in 3D on YouTube at:

Currently YouTube does not allow embedding of 3D videos and you must play directly from their site.

Logline:

A 10-year-old girl learns the secret to her own identify and the real meaning of love through a story her Grandmother tells her.


Synopsis:

Depressed over her first rejection in love, 10-year-old Beth Callahan finds herself stuck listening while her Grandma Rose attempts to cheer her up with a story.  With her prized music box in hand, Rose tells of how the little ceramic fairy inside was cursed by an evil fairy prince and sentenced to dance round and round whenever the box was opened.  Beth doesnt buy the story, but her curiosity gets the best of her, and she sneaks a closer look at the music box.  When, unexpectedly, Beths touch brings the fairy figurine to life, and the evil prince returns to regain his captor.  With the chaos that follows, it is up to Beth to find a way to defeat the prince and return the fairy world to its right order while at the same time discovering truths about her own identity and the real meaning of love.

Fairy Wedding:

Currently the date of the Fairy Wedding is TBD, it is planned to take place in August 2011.  If you choose to bring your own costume, it must be approved prior to your attendance.  When we get closer to the goal of funds needed, we will post this information as it becomes available.
