The Great Tree

Durin Mephit · Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2007 2:12 pm Post subject:

Public filming for Prologue Episode 7: Kidnapped! will take place on Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 9AM Pacific, 10AM Cavern, 12PM Eastern. We'll meet in Ae'gura at the Takotah Plaza.

The recent activation of the Great Zero will make filming for this episode a little more challenging, but the result will be well worth the effort.

Trust me.

I intend to complete the episode "Script" and a list of persons to contact by Tuesday night.

The contact list for Episode 7 is:

Pa'lua, Tutelary, Brian Fioca, Beatfox, Jeff K., Daedalus, Al'my

This episode is one long single scene, BUT, much of the action occurs on the bridge away from the explorers, so some of the explorer dialogue can be subtitled over activities involving the DRC.

The finished script is about 11 pages long, but there is a lot of scene text, so really there is only 9-10 pages of dialogue.

I'll post the script Tuesday.

I'm most likely not going to be able to attend, so someone will probably have to take my part.

Sorry,
Brian

Sorry for that, Brian and poor Marten as well Confused

I've just finished reading the script... Hey, this one is thrilling...
it's subtle and profound... I wonder how this will look like, when
it's completed and what all the translators will get out of it... Very Happy

Think that serious discussions will be necessary maybe...
I just love that... Wink

I have began to read the script and I have a problem with a word :

Erik · Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 4:29 am Post subject:

Yes, that's right Annick. I think "prophesize" is the American version of the English word. Wink

I think "prophesize" as a word much like "theorize"

To theorize is to develop or express a theory.

To prophsize is to develop or express a prophecy.

I hope that's helpful.

Annick is correct. I accidentally invented a word. Embarassed

prophecy is the noun meaning "a prediction"
prophesy is the verb meaning "to make a prediction"

The words "prophesy" and "prophecy" are not used in the same way as "theory", which is only one word that can be used in noun and verb forms.

The correct phrase is "He seemed to prophesy the return of the Great King."

And now I have learned something new today! Thanks. Smile

... and that would be why I taught Math and not English. Embarassed

I'll respectfully bow out of any further efforts to explain our language.

MS Word Spell checker indicates that "Prophesize" is a word though... /shrug

I've heard that Brian cannot attend. I'll do my best Brian impersonation for the film. Have we heard from anyone else? I sent Beatfox a PM myself just to be sure he has a chance.
