First impressions from the prompt
« on: August 02, 2020, 01:36:07 PM »
Hi all, really excited to be a part of this! It's been so interesting seeing the different takes on the image prompt already.

Mine is pretty short, but here goes:

It's really impressive how much emotion comes through this photo, especially considering how minimal it is. I like the minimalism of it though, it gives everyone a lot of room to breathe their own interpretations to life.

I'm interested in producing an SF short from the prompt, but that might be a pretty tough pull. On first glance, there is no technology, no unusual wonder or inexplicable phenomenon happening here. Adding an SF element will require focusing on what is hidden in the picture. Maybe the building is really a nondescript entrance to keep out prying eyes. I'm immediately reminded of Tito's secret bunker here in Bosnia. Its facade is surprisingly similar.

That's all I have for now, but I can't wait to read all of the different stories produced from this photo.

Yes! Another person wondering what's unseen in this photo.

I had a similar reaction after turning the image around and manipulating it a bit... that for all that's seen, there's so much hidden in those valleys and behind the camera.

Can't wait to see how SF crawls out on this one!  :heart:

Ooh, someone else trying to inject some SFF into this prompt! Excited to see how you do it :)

A nondescript secret bunker! More looking for the secrets, for what isn't shown! Excellent! This is going to be great!
