Dim lighting

Alicia was saying that she'd like to make an art movie someday, involving certain bizarre scenes and clan members. I've thought of a neat scene. It would be cool to get everyone in the group around a table -- a round table -- and just have them talk. Maybe it could start out as taking turns discussing a certain issue.

It would be interesting to note how it progressed over time, who spoke in which fashion, what alliances were formed, whether the discussion became a group of smaller discussions, each involving a few people. Focus on the ones who are talking, focus on the ones who are not talking.

As well, there would be the less evident things. How do people look at one another when they don't know anyone is watching them? What objects would fly over that table (notes and the like), what gestures would pass between players in this game?

Quite a few personalities could be created. Does person A often side with person B? Does person E chew her hair, staring into space, when person C brings up something in particular?

I realise this isn't feasible, given that it would never happen naturally and it wouldn't be the same if we knew we were being taped. I like the setup, though.

Don't get too near. You might catch what I have.
