Is it possible for just one real person to make a real movie?

…By a real movie we mean having scenes with 'actors', scenes, sets, all kinds of cameras, props, lighting, movement, action, voices, drama, adventure, romance, etc., at a two hour length.

The one real person, and only one, would be the writer, the screenplay maker, the director, the producer, the camera man, the wardrobe/prop person, the lighting person, the editor, special effects person, the marketer, etc., and also the maker/publisher of the illustrated book that goes along with the movie.

Have computers come far enough along? I there a program to do all this? Maybe. Just a few years ago, video was too slow, voices, if any, stunk, and the 'movies' made weren't much more than a bunch of scenery going by, but with one narrator voice…

Oh, and the movie making has to cost next to nothing and only take about a week.

Do we need lifelike quality? No, not totally, but not a 2D cartoon look. Must have 3D characters and scenes to qualify as a real movie.

Lots of people, if it was good. There would also be self satisfaction.

There is no such thing as a real movie with real characters. The movie of life only appears real, but its only a dream playing on the screen of awareness.Only the screen is real, not the movie playing on it.

Nothing is real Austin.

OK, then, a person in this dream making a real dream movie by one's dream self that other dream selves would know as a real dream movie.

(I know that 'nothing' is the only real nonexistent thing.)

And we would also put the real person's face onto the computer movie character, although I may not do that the first time around, but I'll put someone from my house in a dance clip for now.

I'm using her face from the above photo.

Yes, I know you do. Without the screen of awareness the dream could not appear, so the screen is always here.

Good luck with the movie, I know it will be fun to watch, as is life.

Book page example.

One would capture still frames from the movie
to use for book illustrations. That's the easy part.

Everything appears on the screen of awareness.

I have OS X Lion on my mac and it has two great voices, both Australian, one male and one female, so they are for the main characters. Other voices which are only fair can be for other actors.

I put the script in the Narrator program, labeling the characters. The narrator is also the main male character, so I didn't really have to label him, as he defaults after other characters have spoken. That sped things up a lot.

The Narrator program went into a loop and hung when I tried to output the voices. I think it doesn't like the voices from OSX Lion, but they are a necessity; however, it can speak the voices if one plays it through at regular speed, so I turned on the Wire Tap program, which can intercept and save mac audio to disk. This normal playing turned out to be good since it helped hear typos and wrong labeled voices.

Then I transferred the voices to itunes, since imovie can pick them up easier.

Next I would need to make some film via iclones, but it only runs on windows, so I started up Parallels to run windows on a mac. Then I scoured the internet to find some free iclone content.
