Filming Tips :

Remy got to the prison after a little attempt of his attorney to reduce the jail terms he was given 15 years. In the prison cell, different creatures started appearing to him, saying multiple  things at the same time, he started screaming get out of my head while raining curses and abusive words. He started losing his mind, then degenerated to hitting his head on the wall, he was declared demented and was sent to the psychiatric hospital.

The news spread all over the world that he had lost his mind. His mother saw it on the TV and went to the hospital with his daughter to see him. He was brought out to them in chains, his mother busted into tears likewise his daughter who was seeing her biological father for the first time. Remy was sober, he recognized his family, his mum told him he can’t fight the devil in his court and expect a win. His mum led him to Christ.

In Oklahoma City, Tina was about to mount the stage to perform before thousands of audience, she had lost her joy because of the news about Remy which she saw on the TV. She was feeling guilty for her role in his downfall. Her doppelganger showed up and told her it wasn’t her fault, that he was stubborn and that he knew the repercussions and still went for it. Tina was not interested in all she was saying, suddenly, the doppelganger entered into her. Her face lit up and glow, she mounted the stage and performed while some fans were crying because of their love and loyalty to her.

At the end of the performance the doppelganger came out of her at the back stage and asked her if it was fun or not, she didn’t respond, the doppelganger hissed and walked away. Joanne rushed to her with excitement. That was amazing she said, I  have never seen you so fearless and powerful before, whatever you took that gave you the performance of your life must be taken before the next show. Tina didn’t respond, Joanne was surprised,  common girl, snap out of this, what’s your problem? Are you seeing things again? Will you go to church or something? Tina said nothing.

Remy was taking back to the prison after he became stable, he accepted his daughter and started growing in faith through constant visit of his mother. The spiritual warfare started, inmates were sent by the cults to beat and torture him, officers of satan also started tormenting him. The more the pain he endures, the more the Lord helps him to grow. He kept saying it is better to die chasing God than to be comfortable with the devil .

Thanks for your time, the final saga comes up next week, it will be long, so be prepared. The screenplay  won’t follow this trend, it will be much more intense and intriguing.

Prime Suspect Trailer
Please share
https://youtu.be/KzCMSVspah4

Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I am so sorry for the delay, it was due to Nigeria peculiar mess.

The video is the first Trailer cut of Prime Suspect as announced last week.

A conference was held in Los Angeles not too long, it was majorly for movie editors all over the world. Some questions were raised during the interviews of some of the participants. Like, what software do you like using most? What is the greatest challenge you usually face as an editor?

I was impressed and encouraged by the answer provided by almost all of them. The major challenge they have is how to cut down the contents they have meaningfully without leaving out any important thing. Based on my observation, foreign stories are often more than they need in order to make it tight and so nice without dull moments.

Often times, our stories maybe sincerely 30 to 40 minutes content which we then stretch and make it 2 hours film, some group of people will even make their own part one and two. Then you will see such space being filled with meaningless elongation, then you need to watch it with your remote control, then you start fast forwarding. I have seen two hours movies in 5 minutes before. I know you must have seen such movies both secular and gospel films.

Some of those things I know as the reason for this are lack of exposure, laziness, ignorance and pride.

Exposure: If you are so restricted by the doctrines of your church and your pastor, you may not reason deeper before you write. If you are not watching the news, going to other people's programs it will affect your world view which will in turn affect your reasoning.

Laziness : If you are too lazy to read you maybe very shallow. Read read and keep reading. Read novels, newspapers, writeups, and different literatures that can help you soar higher in knowledge. If you read other people's opinion in their books you will learn one or two things which will energize you, and encourage you to reach deeper. The Fire Dancer was started like a joke, I wanted to show us what horror story should feel like, after the first one, I made some research and decided to add a pending story I have for some years now, then it started getting bigger and better. Then I started making research online on the theme, I went on YouTube and Foreign TV stations for the life of the celebrities and their vanities. I read literatures in line with my theme and that enlarged the story in my heart through the inspiration from the holy Spirit of God.

IGNORANCE : Under the law, ignorance is not an excuse. Some people produce movies believing that their stories are much more powerful than Agbara Nla, Emi Fun Emi and The Story of My Life in their mind. When it is out and others see it, then they will face the reality that they have no story to tell. Get wisdom, in all thy gettings get understanding.

PRIDE: This goes before a fall. When you hear that someone made a serial film and he is known for it then you decide to produce yours, you then patch some things together which shouldn't be more than one hour story, and made it 6 hours, this is not right. It is not a must to write your own movie, you can produce other people's story.

The Fire Dancer story continues later tomorrow in another post.

Filming Tips :

As the blindfold was removed, they each saw their beloved in tears before them, they were so scared, their beloved then disappeared as the congregation continued with their chants. Tina passed out! She opened her eyes several hours later  in Celina’s apartment,  she asked  if what she just was a dream or not, Celina told her not to be hard on herself,  'your mum is only going to fall sick as a result of the seal,  that’s all!' What seal? She asked with astonishment. 'The seal of the covenant' she replied. What covenant? I didn’t agree to sign any covenant that will get my mama sick; she said angrily. 'You signed your soul to Lucifer the day we went to the first party you attended, besides, nothing goes for nothing my dear; Presidents, Congress men and women, entertainers and famous people you can think of signed the same document followed by a seal.' Tina got up angrily, ‘nothing must happen to my mama, okay?’ Celina walked to her gently, 'I assure you that nothing will happen to her but you must not say anything about this to anyone for your own good.'

Tina was extremely happy when she got home and met her mum healthy and hearty; she hugged her mum specially. The woman kept wondering what has come over her, and what it was with all these excitement. Three weeks later her mom had cold, it was not taken serious by anyone until the situation degenerated. Three months after, her mother died! She tried to convince herself  she wasn’t the cause of the death.

Back to the present day, so I killed my mother Tina said with tears, her doppelganger then told her she didn’t like tears and disappeared. Joanne came backand saw her cryin; 'What is it, are you still burdened with your nightmare?' She asked. 'I just remembered some things but don’t worry’ she said as some radiance returned to her face like she had a solution to her problem which she just realized. She took her phone and went to her room to call Remy but the line has been blocked, so she  called another friend who gave Remy’s current number. Tina asked Remy whether there is a way out of the evil covenant which they had signed.

Remy told her he got tired of the fame and so called wealth since the day they took my first love in a covenant sealing sacrifice without my knowledge, then the next girl friend I managed to love after that was also killed because I was trying to warn you not to make the same mistake I made. Then they both started lamenting the days of odd sacrifices and ritual sex with animals and illegal meetings in odd times. ’People envy us for our fame and glamour, we envy them for their freedom' Tina said . Remy told her they’ve been told there is no way out since they control the system that governs this world but 'I will rather die chasing God than to be a king in the kingdom of satan' he said meaning every word with great determination!

Remy refused to attend any meeting, black Friday or black moon, Tina couldn’t stay back for the fear of her doppelganger. Some fellow rappers came to visit Remy to find out the reason for his absence, he told them he was done! He was made to understand that it is not possible to be freed from the owners of this world but he said he would take his chance. The visitors left after making him realize he was on his own from that day on. Few hours later, a demonic spirit appeared in his bedroom and told him to prepare for war after which he will come back to beg. Remy confidently said Jesus would help him, the spirit left, then he heard a still small voice, “go to your mother”, it’s been 5 year since he saw his mum, he was angry with his mum because she took a baby whom he considered to be a bastard from a girl he didn’t love.

He was packing his luggage the next day when the police came into his house with a search warrant, he was further shocked when they brought out some guns from his closet with a bunch of drugs. They said he was reported to be a drug Lord and that his drug shipment from Cuba has been found with illegal weapon importation. TV stations and journalists filled his street. The defamation has just begun…!

Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? Mine was a busy one with more work on Prime Suspect color job. Regarding the issue of close captioning which was mentioned last week, there is a software that makes it easier which I just learnt through YouTube, it is called Maccaption. I met a friend who just came in from the United States, he is into production like myself, he told me about this great software but it's only for big production studios because it's from 2000 dollars upward but it will enable you to do a month's job in a day.

"The Ignition" movie by Damilola Bamiloye actually fell under three different genres and they are: Drama, Romance and Comedy. "The Tribulation Night" by Mike Bamiloye fell under horror and thriller. "My Conclusion" by Shola Mike Agboola fell under Drama and so on, to mention but a few.

I mentioned these people because their films are well known. I remember the day I raised the issue of writing other genres other than just drama, a brother commented that I was right but surprisingly said that youths of nowadays love to see romance. He went further to say that as a means of meeting the needs of the youths, he will cast married couples  to make it real on screen.

I want to believe that I didn't understand what the brother meant by doing things real. I know he could not have said that couples should do a pornography in the name of the Lord. I love making things as realistic as possible but not to the extent of causing anyone to stumble and no one can ask me to do anything stupid with my wife on screen. Please, we should be careful of what we dish out to people in the name of the Lord. We shouldn't place a stumbling block and stain the heart of those who are still struggling to stand.

The video below was put together by one of my guys, you will see the full version on MZTV and Redemption TV North America later. I also promise to dish out first trailer of Prime Suspect next week. The horror story titled the Fire Dancer continues tomorrow. It is written for the American audience and the people of the western world. You know the targeted audience will determine a lot in any screenplay, I have had this in mind for a while now with a little feel of real life story, just read along and you will understand, see tomorrow on that.

Filming Tips :

Tina was hanging on the top of a high mountain inside the forest crying out loud for help but none came. There were evil creatures flying all around her, too big and terrifying that she called out to her mother, who showed up at the top of the hill for help. She knelt down and stretched out her hand to help her. As her mother grabbed her right hand, she started climbing up, she climbed up successfully but her mum slipped and fell off the cliff.

Tina screamed! Alas it was a dream! She was on a flight to meet Celina in California, “thank goodness it was dream” she exclaimed breathing heavily. The flight landed and she was welcomed by Celina who later took her to the same mansion where they had their first meeting. It was an all night event, Remy was there but like someone forced to come to an uninteresting party, dignitaries in the entertainment and politics were there merrying as usual. The host of the event raised his voice speaking to the microphone and led them to the next phase of their meeting. People started walking in an orderly manner into the mansion, Tina looked at Celina who signaled her to join the people.

Inside the mansion there was a golden door with a strange inscription, everyone entered through it, Celina took Tina by the hand, took her aside, brought out a scarf to blindfold her, Tina asked if that was necessary Celina nodded in affirmation and whispered into her ear that it was a surprise. She walked blindfolded into the same door.

When Celina removed the scarf, Tina was shocked to see herself in a very large hall bigger than even the whole estate. The whole place was dimly lit, there were thousands of people in attendance. They were all dressed in white with a red tall cap and veil. To her right, she saw six people whose faces were left open without the uniform and eight people to her left. They all had a table – like computer screen before them and an electric pen. Their host who was also in uniform announced to them that they are about to take their businesses to the top of the world, he promised them fame and fortune, then asked them to think about the person they love the most who they will like to choose as their manager.

He started asking them one after the other, and told them to click the forehead of the person they love with the pen as his/her face shows up on the screen in front of them. They were all told to do it together at once, none of them argued or asked any question. He further told them to touch the liquid that comes out of the computer with their left middle finger and stamp it on their names in front of them to show their approval.

They all did it! It was blood that came out of the forehead of those they touched, Tina reluctantly placed blood on her name as instructed though there was confusion written all over her face. Only few of them were indifferent about it. The crowd of witnesses then echoed some chants together in a Strange language, these new members were scared, then their host took off his veil and welcomed them properly; congratulated them once again, then the rest of the members unveiled themselves.

Guess who the new members saw…. To be continued next week!

Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had a nice time with my family, lesser work and more family time. There are some new inventions in the technical world which really amazed me. 8k cameras has started spreading though we are yet to move into HD in Nigeria due to the fact that the Nigerian broadcasting coperation kept changing the date of the final switch to HD. We are still in SD till date, there is no HDTV broadcast in Nigeria except those ones brought in by DSTV the south African company.

I saw 360 degree camera at work at the just concluded Siggraph conference in United States https://youtu.be/Uz2CWipbekw check out that video, use your hand to move it 360 degree, use your mouse if you are using mouse. We are yet to move to 4k shooting with normal camera and now there is 8k 360 degree sensor camera. I kept wondering what led to this technology and in what way can the world benefit from this apart from documentation purposes. Then I thought this should be very good for security purposes, I mean one of this can replace 8 security cameras, if your company need this I can supply and install it for you (sorry for the advert).

DaVinci resolve has released a new version of their software that will really benefit windows users, get to their website and download it, proress can now be easily decode on windows. Phantom 4 by DJI has now become the smartest drone on earth with four special sensors that detect obstacles and avoid it on its own. The world is not stopping or waiting for anyone, knowledge is increasing all over the world, please don’t just lay back, improve on yourself daily, spiritually and mentally, with these you can be the best of you.

Fire dancer story will be too long to add to this post, so I have decided to add another post tomorrow night for the continuation.

Filming Tips :

Joanne walked into the fifth living room, well furnished with an Italian touch - french fabrics were used on all the curtains in blue with a touch of gold, the white Italian tiles on the floor were laced with royal blue flowery design, all electronic gadgets are voice automated; courtesy the high speed internet operational in the whole mansion.

The first thing Joanne noticed is that the room seems darker than usual, she said "Light on", and the lights came on, then she sees her friend coiled on the golden sofa holding a brown coffee color throw pillow sobbing with her face turned away from everything but the chair.

Joanne quickly dropped her bag on the floor and rushed to her friend, her black high heel shoes and her tight black micro skirt almost made her fall on Tina Kardashian her long time friend already clad in her white night wear. She gently placed her friend's head on her laps as she sits on the sofa,  she starts to ask different questions without any answer from Tina who is staring at nothing in particular.

Tina runs her own show on national TVs, she is the most popular beautiful screen goddess,  her dark skin and perfect figure 8 shape makes billions of men on earth yearn for her nakedness while some secretly masturbate while holding her picture, and she is very wealthy in her late 20s. Joanne started wondering who or what could have put her dear friend in such a state? After much persuasion Tina finally speaks...

"The place was very dark, the darkness was indescribable, there was noise everywhere, I couldn't see anything at all, oh....the darkness,  I can still feel it in my throat  (coughed)", Joanne interrupts her: "what in the world are you saying?"
After a while, I was... oh! This is too much... (crying aloud) Tina continues, "I was actually standing at the feet of a 17 year old girl, I just know she should be of that age,  I saw a tiny snake crawling out of her left leg from a hole that looks deep inside, oh! You can't imagine the pain in her voice as she gnashed her teeth in pain, it took me some time before I could figure out what she was saying, she was begging for death then I cried out in fear when I saw a terrible creature using a hot iron to burn the left breast of this teenager, the girl was wailing but no one came to her rescue, ho... what a shame.... she looked at me in pain and said "you sent me here, you destroyed me", with tears I responded "I've never seen you before ", the girl answered, "you were my idol", then someone dragged me like a piece of sheet and threw me into the midst of fire, I started crying for help, then I had totally forgotten all I have acquired  on earth, I shouted Jesus the name I only use for fun because I once overheard a TV preacher that it could save me, instead of safety, a sharp object pierced my face, oh, I can still feel the horrible pain on my face. I wished to die but it seemed to be totally impossible,  I was... I was much more terrified when I saw that the person who had pierced my face was actually me, she was 100 percent me, then she transformed and became a very horribly looking creature. She told me to start dancing in the fire, I was naked, the fire was filled with dollars burning, I was too dumbfounded to ask a question,  then the creature told me, I must keep dancing because he had appointed me to be a fire dancer since i was a teenager ... to be continued. .....

This is a horror film, it's just an extract from a film titled "THE FIRE DANCER". Let's explore other genres, don't limit what God intends doing through you. Thanks for your time.

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.Don't tell me you don't know me, the creature exclaimed! I was shivering with my pierced face; she changed again and this time in one of my best dresses, the whole place was full of thick smoke, there were horrible sounds from everywhere, I didn't know whether I was sweating water or blood.

Something that looked like a scorpion entered into my right leg; it stung me inside, as it  crawled to my upper part, this my doppelganger kept talking, I couldn't think staight! I should lose my mind but that didn't happen, I can still feel the pain. "she looked at her friend who was still shocked and speechless and continued", my doppelganger yelled at me, let me refresh your memory; she gave me a terrible slap that sounded like the string of 10 electric guitars in my ear. Many people appeared there with tons of evil creatures around to deal with them mercilessly. They seem to multiply every minute both old and young, the cry and agony in that place is inexplicable, no one cared about anyone because we were all in pain.

Her slap landed me on a stage in Atlanta where I held a live performance with 100,000s in attendance, waiting to hear me sing and dance. The floor manager got on stage to notify my guys that it was time. I saw myself coming out in that dress, I wasn't really strong to take the stage because I just sniffed a little cocaine and the crowd was the biggest I have ever seen, the scream from my fans was too much, then I saw my doppelganger in the same dress come out from nowhere, merged into me; I became bold and strong and felt like a goddess who is ready to recieve worship, i started singing and the whole crowd was engulfed in it. I even heard someone scream "I will die for you Tina", then I looked at her, I didn't know what caught my attention to the statement from that young lady, I winked at her in appreciation though I don't remember any of that.

My doppelganger then looked at me where we were standing and said "I winked at her not you, I made that girl go into drug overdose and die though she was a pastor's daughter and I am sure you have met her here", when she mentioned here I discovered that we were back in this place of horror and the scorpion - like creature in me has now reached inside my tommy then I fell back into the fire, rolling up and down in pain...

To be continued. ...

All what is being said in word will be displayed in visuals and sounds in a movie. THE FIRE DANCER continues next week Monday. If you have missed our past posts please go to Christian film institute page and like our page. Feel free to share.

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.
Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had a very busy one as usual but to God be the glory. Please brace up, this will be one of my longest post but trust, there will be no dull moment as we continue on the story: The Fire Dancer

I started screaming on the floor while this my doppelganger continued laughing at me, the pain from the scorpion was indescribable, the smell in that terrible place can't be explained, there was ominous sound and horror in the air, a lady was dragged along the left side of me by another horrible creature that was as short as a dwarf but fat with only one big eye on his forehead, a tiny nose and a very large mouth, the lady looked dead but my doppelganger had made me understand that no one can die here, only eternal pain and anguish, different types and sizes of insects were coming from her body, I managed to role to the other side of the fire when I saw an extremely big insect like creature dropped out of the soul of her feet to join the scorpion bites in me.

Back into her gorgeous livingroom. Tina continued; that was when I found out I actually role out of my bed, she turned to Joanne; what is wrong with me Joanne? Joanne was speechless,  later she took a deep breath and told her friend to try to go and freshen up first while they think about what to do. Joanne was about to remind Tina of the show she had to present in the evening but cautioned herself that it wasn't the right time.

Tina managed to get up, her friend gaze on, Tina still held unto her tommy, then Joanne offered to help her to the bathroom, inside the bathroom the doppelganger was already waiting inside the mirror, Joanne entered first, held her friend's right hand, walked her to the mirror where she supposed to brush her teeth, Joanne helped her to put paste on the brush, since Tina's left hand was still on her tommy, Tina took the brush with sorrow written all over her face, she started brushing, Joanne was looking into her friend in the mirror, then Tina lifted up her head and saw her doppelganger smiling at her, she passed out immediately.

Ambulance sirens was blasting as they rushed Tina to the hospital, this is the biggest hospital in the city of Boston in United States, three doctors surrounded the stretcher including her personal doctor with seven nurses running with them, Tina's nose was covered with oxygen, Joanne was not allowed to enter into the emergency ward, lots of attention was given to this great celebrity, some journalists managed to force their way into the hospital but the security was at alert to push them out, Joanne didn't have to answer any of the questions being thrown at her.

Inside the private room, Tina woke up as the doctors were still trying to carry out some tests on her, her personal doctor, Dr Alfred asked her if she was okay, he flashed the light into her right eye and left eye, when Tina came into her senses she screamed out in terror, she wanted to jump out of the bed with all her strength but the doctors held her down, Tina was not seeing the doctors, she was seeing doppelganger in all the uniforms, she was crying for help while they were trying to inject her which they did as she passed out again.

After eight hours, Tina woke up, but this time she opened the right eye slowly, the terror had made her forget the pain in her stomach, she discovered she was alone, she sighed and opened her left eye, she saw her own news on the TV in her private ward, the reporter was saying that Tina Kardashian had been in coma for the past eight hours, she looked around for a bell to call for attention, then she saw her doppelganger sitting beside her, then she smiled and asked her not to scream, I am a friend, she said smiling, Tina wanted to shout but she couldn't open her mouth, she was shaking and sweating in terror.

Have I done you any wrong? She asked. I am your friend, now let me show you what I mean, she touched her finger and all her pains disappeared.  Tina was very healthy and strong, her doppelganger continued talking to her, "I have been with you long ago, when you decided to take your career to the next level and you got our approval, why am I even telling you all these since you were part of the whole process. I am sorry about the nightmare you had, that wasn't from me, so long as you remain my friend and cooperate with me, you can never suffer any after life bull sheet, if you are my friend you will reign with me forever. I will see you at your show tonight, please when you see me don't Frick out, your show starts in two hours time, don't worry, I won't come to your show like this and don't try to look for me because you won't see me, we will talk when you return home tonight but don't try to go elsewhere because you are smarter than that. She winked at her and left through the door, her personal doctor came in as soon as her doppelganger left, she was looking at Dr Alfred suspiciously, when the doctor smile she stood up in bed, the doctor was approaching then she screamed and said "don't come near me", he was astonished, "I want to go home now" she demanded, "it's okay, relax Tina, can you just allow me to check if you are okay to go home now?"

Another white doctor brought her friend in, Joanne had wept seriously which had affected her makeup, Joanne walked to her friend and hugged her, they were both crying. Joanne asked her friend how she was feeling, she said she was okay but still afraid of every moving object.

An hour later, Tina was home in her livingroom with her friend, one of the maids came in with some wine, her friend encouraged her to drink, she then asked her to follow her to the bathroom one more time to freshen up but this time they were both afraid, she came out dressed gorgeously since all her clothes were of the highest class, she wore no makeup, her friend told her she needed to use the toilet, she stood up, as she was going Tina's doppelganger sat beside Tina, she wanted to call her friend to come back but she couldn't talk though Joanne was still within the sitting room .....

To be continued next week

Thank you for your time, if you have missed any of my past post please visit Christian film institute page and like our page, feel free to share, this will later be screenplay as a movie.

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.

Filming Tips :

Joanne didn't notice what was happening as she walked out of the livingroom, Tina's doppelganger smiled and said "why are you making things difficult for yourself, I told you your nightmare was not from me. Nekushti was just messing with your brain just to ruin our relationship, you know I took away your pain, I love you Tina". Tina was still in puzzlement when one of her house maids came into the room with a serving tray of two glasses of wine intended for Joanne and Tina. She was shocked when she saw the doppelganger and she almost threw off the tray but smiles when the doppelganger winked at her. Tina was confused the more when Nancy the housemaid served the doppelganger, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, Nancy placed the wine on a stool and left.

Are you surprised Nancy could see me? The doppelganger said, don't be, Nancy should be your best friend among your maids, because she is a loyal servant, she is an hybrid. I know you want to know what an hybrid is. Tina shook her head to indicate no, the doppelganger started seeping her wine,  by now Joanne was approaching, the doppelganger placed the cup on the stool back, Joanne almost sat on the doppelganger, she shifted for her to sit beside her friend.  Tina started reflecting on what brought her to this.

Seven years ago, Tina was in her parent livingroom with two friends of her, one is Jenny and the other one is Joanne, they were watching  a show on TV, Celina the greatest singer and dancer at that time was singing with hundreds of thousands in attendance.  Tina adore her and started seeing her as a mentor, the three of them started dancing as she was singing their favourite song.

Tina did a video with her friends, she sang as the lead singer and showed some dancing steps. The video was placed on YouTube, it generated over seven million views, Tina started getting calls from different recording companies, she was only eighteen years old, her parent was glad their daughter was getting noticed. Celina was at the roof top of her penthouse sitting down besides the pool, she was watching Tina and her friends on YouTube with some interest, she signal one of her bodyguards to bring her phone then she made a call.

Tina was shocked to receive a letter from her screen idol Celina, she shared the news with her friends who were equally excited. A week after, a limousine was sent to her to take her to the airport where a private jet was waiting for her, she was a lone in the jet with air hostesses and one of Celina's bodyguards, they gave her more than she requested for. The flight took them from Mississippi to California where she eventually met Celina who gave her a royal welcome. Tina explained how her life dream has come true by meeting her mentor, Celina was excited as well, they spoke together and Celina promised to take her to the top of her career.

She got back home and shared her experience with her parent, her dad decided to be her manager but the mother objected and said she was the best candidate for the job since she was a choir mistress but their daughter told them she would decide who her manager would be later, Jenny's mum who was there when Tina was sharing her experience told them she had a strange feeling about all these Celina issue, Tina's mum claimed she was envious and that was what separated the two families.

Three months after, Celina sent her private jet to  pick Tina for a special meeting with the industry tycoons she was excited as they stepped into a very big mansion, majority of the people there were great men and women in politics and entertainment, they all looked glamorous, Tina was excited the more. Celina whispered to her as they walked by that they were going to have a meeting over night, and that she should be ready to sign up a deal that will make her forget about lack forever. A young man who was also a popular musician was there, he saw the young Tina and looked at her pitifully, he walked up to the two of them and ask Celina if he could have a dance with Tina, Celina agreed and Remy took her hand heading to the dancing floor.

On the dancing floor, Remy started talking to Tina, he told her he was impressed with what she did on her YouTube video, then asked her why she was there, Tina wasn't comfortable with the question, after a little persuasion from Remy, she told him she was there to sign a deal, Remy told her if she wanted to still be in control of her life she better not sign any deal, she was shocked and asked him why did he say that? Remy said I can't tell you more than that, Celina noticed that they were actually doing more of talking than dancing, Remy knew that Celina was suspecting him, then she turned his back to Celina and quickly told Tina not to say anything to Celina, Tina asked him if he has not signed his own deal, he said he had and that was why he didn't want Tina to throw away her soul. Celina Started walking towards them....

Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great day? Sorry I had to delay the post till today for some obvious reasons. Before I continue the horror genre story, I want to tell my technical friends to take some time out to learn "close captioning". I know you know how to subtitle but that can only work for you in a third world nation like ours, if you get to the civilized nations of the world, you will have to use close captioning instead of subtitling. Subtitling is also called open caption, however, subtitle programs that can be activated and deactivated are called close captioning - this enables you to have more than eight languages on a video through authoring.
Authoring is a systematic programing of  media contents in an organized manner into a device. It may be on a DVD disk, a Blu-ray disc or in folders. We do this in Horeb Digital Network. Now let’s continue the Fire Dancer story...

Tina turned back and surprisingly saw Celina staring into her eyes. Celina gently touched her left shoulder and asked with a concerned smile “did he hurt you sweetheart?” No, she replied, “okay let’s get out of here”, she gently held her right hand and walked away into the mansion where there were few guests standing  in twos and threes. Celina greeted some of them and then introduced Tina to a particular man who looked more like the host in his tuxedo, the man later took Celina aside to discuss. After their discussion they called Tina to join them in a tastefully furnished office.

Celina narrated the reason for the meeting to Reinard, the host, who thereafter gave Tina a contract paper to sign offering her a record deal. In addition, she will be given one million dollars as sign-on fee, this money Tina is to lavish on herself to ensure she attains the classy status/ poise befitting of a celebrity before her next meeting with the duo. Tina's joy knew no bounds but Celina assured her that that was nothing compared to opportunities ahead. Celina on her part also added half a million dollar cheque for her parents in gratitude to them for raising such a talented child!

Tina got home to discover a card in her bag belonging to Remy, obviously he must have secretly dropped it in her purse. She was torn between calling him or not but since Remy had earlier warned her not to sign, she decided not to call.

Tina began to live in affluence, her parents also bought a mansion in the neighborhood of the elites of the city, where Tina had a magnificent room to herself.

On a particular sunny day, she came to accept that the thought of calling Remy had been on her mind. Remy was playing a video game in his big livingroom with his friends when the call came in. He excused himself when he discovered it was Tina and walked out to the poolside. Remy asked her if she had signed a contract; rather than reply, Tina asked him the same question. Remy answered in the affirmative and told her that was the reason he didn’t want her to make the same mistake. Tina bombarded him with an array of questions. Look Tina, I am willing to provide all answers but I  guess they will be of no use if as you already signed the blood covenant. Never! Tina exclaimed. "I signed with a pen and not blood." Remy went further: was there any ritual done on that day? "No, what in the world are you talking about? If living in a comfortable house is a mistake, then so be it”. As Remy was trying to explain further, a thunderbolt came out of the wall and struck his fiancée who was standing by the poolside with her friends, she fell into the pool, blood gushing out of her nose and ears. Remy dropped the phone on the floor and dove into the pool to get her out.

Inside the hospital, Remy and few friends were together waiting for the doctor’s report. The doctor came out and led Remy back into his office. What is wrong with my fiancée, Remy asked turning around to face the doctor. He instead saw the doctor transformed into a beast who then warned him not to divulge further information to Tina, "Our secret must be kept secret", he roared. Remy jumped back and hitting his head on the door. The death of your fiancée is just a warning for you to stick to the rules of our society. Mind your business!" There was a knock on the door. The doctor back in his human form held the door knob, “you have been warned, now get out of my office”. Remy rushed out to meet his friends. They were surprised to see the shock on his face and inquired why. Remy walked out of the hospital without uttering a word, his friends followed him wondering what the doctor did to him.

Tina received a message to finish up her music  demo which she had started working on with her friends. After an intensive week and upon completion of the demo, Tina and her friends decided to relax, with bottles of champagne and loud music. They were having fun when Celina’s men came in to take her to L.A. with the demo she has just finished. …to be continued
