[game simulator]


[science fiction] ... Mi-Kee (Michelle-Keela) Thomaine is an 8th grade girl who likes StarTrails (retro-quel to Spring) so much - StarTrails TV episodes, movies, magazines, internet-news groups - she's won a summer-fun contest to ride NASA's Deep-Space Simulator, but she's more qualified than NASA's own captain, so, she gets the captain's chair ... and it looks all too real for a simulator. They launch from Earth for deep-space rendezvous with Pluton and whatever planets, gravity-singularities, space-clouds, are way-out there at the edge of our Solar system. The Game itself I've suggested as a seven-player simulator-trainor for tomorrows' deep-space astronauts: it's time NASA looked ahead with help: in the 1960's America went to the moon, and developed nuclear-powered space engines with the thrust equivalent of the Space Shuttle's main-three running for hours, for going to Mars ... now it's time to return to immanent domain, power, and glory. (REF Mi-Kee's identity: Gary's sister in SPRING FLING Scene 17 - a junior high school graduating 8th grader female student: the concept is that SPRING seems as realistic as what her university-professor brother does)

The movie shall be available primarily digitally recorded wide-screen [2:1] 'stereo-eyes-ed' on digital video disk or digital video tape. We expect the initial 'shoot' may be direct minute-by-minute to giga-byte hard-drive, 4 megapixels/frame, wavelet-compressed, copy-saved to CDROM - the digitized sound and music edited in synchronized fractions [frames] of a second - and the final product released on HDDVideo Disk. The advantage of digital video is its reproducibility for the future of both broadcast FDTV [Full Definition 'stereo-eyes-ed'] and movie-house. Image generation shall be further enhanced and assisted by state-of-the-art computer facility. The final result shall be viewable stereo-eyes-ed with white 'sexichrome' or polarized '3.5D-safety-goggles' ... telecined celluloid film and other substandard versions may be available.

[The music exampled in the following outline is the Strategic-Director's selection from hundreds of CD's of existing works by artists whose timbre and lyrics fit each on-screen activity, and is not otherwise representative of project SesQuatercet and its purposes]
