ChD Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 When I started writing Journey, I said it was hard. That was because I knew it was hard to make a good adaptation while gaining both, general audience interest and Oscar Nomination... The thing is, it became so much harder... The game tells the story in visuals, and when I say in visuals I say that you have to make out what story those symbols try to tell since it isn't very obvious...

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 My goal this weekend is to fine tune some parts of Spark 2 and begin to really pull through Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 On a random note, I'm planning on having Three-Month Funeral open wide on MLK weekend in Y8, so it will end up being the first film to open limited in one year and wide in another.

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm going to keep that in mind when doing holdover actuals for Y8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It will be one of the first. White Death opens limited in December and expands in January. Actually, Three Month Funeral will be the first and White Death will be the second, since TMF comes out 14 days before WD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Going to finish the first serious draft of Harald's Dream tonight. I could use some reviews (the movie isn't long - around 3.5k-4.5k) so if anyone wants to have a read and drop some reviews, I would appreciate it a lot.

Blankments Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm interested, but along with six major films (2.5K+ is major for me. ) I need to write and the Oscar ceremony too, I'll wait for the final copy. Very interested in it though; I attempted (and failed thanks to me being a terrible newbie) to explore composing in Y3. After To The Moon, I'm very excited to read that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clearing out that To The Moon is so good because of the story, not because I made it. It'll be good if Harald's Dream will end up somewhere around Rigger levels, but, after all, I didn't send Rigger to anyone to get a few reviews back to edit it and make it better. Hopefully, this will turn out to be better. Thanks^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Writing The Rise and Fall of Julius Caesar is interesting in how I decide to adhere to or slightly detach from the historical record. For example this is the historical account of the death of Cato, one of the antagonists of the first half of the film, after he attempts to commit suicide: Cato did not immediately die of the wound; but struggling, fell off the bed, and throwing down a little mathematical table that stood by, made such a noise that the servants, hearing it, cried out. And immediately his son and all his friends came into the chamber, where, seeing him lie weltering in his own blood, great part of his bowels out of his body, but himself still alive and able to look at them, they all stood in horror. The physician went to him, and would have put in his bowels, which were not pierced, and sewed up the wound; but Cato, recovering himself, and understanding the intention, thrust away the physician, plucked out his own bowels, and tearing open the wound, immediately expired. As you can see, if I try to depict that on film it would probably seem a bit too absurd and OTT for audiences (tearing out ones bowels with ones own hands), even though it is essentially what happened, so I am toning down the death a bit.

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you tone down some of the stuff, that probably won't be a problem, and it would only bother the most nitpicky history buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I am a history buff, but I can understand making some minor changes for the convenience of cinema. So that shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
