I'll post two early scenes.

The setup is that this is told from the point of view of a WWI German submarine commander.

Here are two scenes:

3. July second. We send the British freighter Victory to the bottom of the Atlantic, along with her lifeboats and the cowards within. The footage is splendid.

4. Later that day, upon surfacing, we remove a corpse from our hull, a member of the Victory’s crew, no doubt. The only value this creature passes on is an odd ivory cameo, confiscated by Lieutenant Kienze.

This particular movie is going to be done in the same style as The Testament of Tom Jacoby, with stills, so think of images that are stills, flickering by, complementing the text. The idea isn't to shoot what's written, but to shoot what, when combined with the text, makes a BETTER picture.

The images will pass by about as fast as the narrator speaks the lines, although I expect there will be a gap between "scenes" of a few seconds. Go ahead and give the first scene a try and see where you get and how it feels. Basically, you're drawing out what the photographer will shoot.
