So that's the plot of this post today, to give a little introduction, what I do and/or plan on doing with my life and maybe some facts of me!
First of all, who am I? From the right hand side of the page and my not-so-subtle profile picture, you'll find my name is Scott Burns. I was born and raised in the humble land of Scotland - a land of poor weather and many grassy hills. There was also a very well-known Mel Gibson movie based on our history, which some argue is not accurate but whatever.
Currently at the ripe age of 22. I'm of a husky build and I'm slowly watching as my hair thins every year! Am I depressing you yet? (sorry)
What do I do currently? Well, I'm not very good with jobs and job searching an all of that magical jazz, but I currently work in an airport as a "Customer Host" for a Cafe. It's okay, it pays and I can buy the little pleasures in life, no complaints. As of 2014, I finished college, graduating with a HND in Sound Production. What does that mean? I'm just decent with Musical software and stuff. When I do stuff regarding that, it's more of a hobby than a passion. When I started college, I wanted to become a composer. Composed music in movies, TV and videogames is something I find an interest in, but over the years, my interests have changed and shaped for what may be the better!
Beyond having a job, what I also enjoy doing is drawing and writing. When I was younger, all I used to draw was Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd draw the characters on my school jotters, on my folders, on the corners of my tests and so on. For the last 4-5 years I've been drawing and improving on my own characters for my own novels! (like I said, I enjoy writing too)
For example:
The inception of "Matthew Gray"

the updated look of today!
With time, you develop your skills and your results show. I feel the same about my writing. I wrote the novel that features Matthew in 2012, titled "Descendants of Honour" and it has since seen a re-write and is sitting stored away till I do the final re-write. It's a story I know like the back of my hand and based within Falkirk, a town local to me. Since then I've gone on to write many more personal projects.
I've written a Justice League script that one day, I'd like to utilize into a Youtube video in-time for the eventual Justice League movie!
I've written a script for a KFC Horror short. I loved every bit of it, it's crazy, it's hilarious and insane.
I've written part of a Pilot for a TV show idea I had called Strangemouth. It's something that really brought me into a dark place that when writing, I'd get these killer goosebumps and just imagining my words as visual pieces, I could feel the horror of what I was writing, exciting stuff.
There was also a time where I was writing a script for a Deadpool short movie but abandoned when too many suggestions and ideas were getting thrown at me, that I lost interest. I love Deadpool, I love and know the character well enough, but wasn't willing to chuck a cameo from every Marvel character under the sun...ugh,
And there's my Formidable Three scripts..more on that at another time.
Why do all of this? Simple - it's fun :D I take enjoyment out of it and hope to eventually finish all of these scripts and bring the projects to fruition. Usually I end up doing them myself because other people aren't interested, don't bring anything to the table or don't see the potential. But there's a potential in everything. So usually I pursue my projects on my own. I don't mind though, like I said, I enjoy it :)
I've collaborated in some form before. You see, I also have a Youtube Channel which I mentioned in the beginning blog posts. I called on others to voice characters on an audio comic adaptation of Space Detective. Below you can see the last video of the Space Detective series:
It's a right campy experience!
There's a mish-mash of different vids on my Youtube account. If you haven't, be sure to subscribe, you never know when I do something new, out from the blue ;)
What do I want to do with my life?
Well currently, I'm writing and collaborating with a friend and partner on my first comic, titled "The Formidable Three: Origins" It's a cartoony-slapstick adventure that I'll speak more of in a later post!
So for 2015, I want to see that progress and hopefully finished as well as doing a short Batman film that aims to achieve what no Batman film has done and provide a thrilling and scary psychological approach to the caped crusader. It will be filmed on a Super 8 camera which will hopefully give it that extra unsettling edge in a visual manner.
After which, I will focus on possibly more Formidable Three stories and more importantly, the third rewrite of Descendants of Honour which will be followed by a heavy campaign of looking for a publisher or/and an agent. Should this not prove successful, it shall be followed by an even heavier promotional campaign.
From there? Focus on a sequel perhaps? Or start with a new novel? Who knows...
Some facts about me!
Lastly, I thought I'd end this on a fun note, Five little facts about me. So if you bump into me in the street, you'll have a nice wee ice breaker to use ;)
1. I have a permanent scar on my left elbow from a time I fell as a child
2. I'm definitely more of a DC fan but Spider-man is my favourite Superhero.
3. When I was a kid, the Singing Kettle team came to my hometown and picked me (along with a select few others from my primary class) to be featured on a video, singing about keeping our teeth clean.
4. Despite only watching it last year, Twin Peaks is my favourite TV show and nothing's gonna change that.
5. I'm a big fan of NIN and How to Destroy Angels, but a favourite song of mines right now is "Doing it right - Daft Punk".
That's that for now! Goodnight everybody!
