How it can be accomplished – Elohimfest live reenactment

Post by Lord Foul »

I think the most likely way with remote chances to have any result, unless making a cartoon is chosen, and that also requires a lot of effort, is to film it on one of the major fests in a theater-like style. Not like that's an easy way, but neither gathering enough volunteers together for that purpose only nor otherwise making it as separate pieces and collecting them together look as easier ways. What do you think?

I think that sounds ridiculously fun.

I think that would be ridiculously unlikely to produce something remotely good unless the people involved put an intense effort into it in their respective pieces months in advance.

I think making a trailer for fun and for awesome could be... really neat.

I think we have the resources to, between us, if people who might work on it could deal with the inevitable conflict it would cause* <sigh>, to write a good trailer, if the rather well-done writing of a hilarious bad trailer is any evidence.

I think that a trailer could be written in a way that modularizes things (into 7 to 12 short scenes that give a 'flavor' of the Land).

I also think I am Fantasy-Bedtime-Hour-illiterate.

* Because I'm pretty sure that anything that people really care about & and which they'd be investing in would gonna cause conflict between them.

Huhh... I hadn't realized that post has been sitting here the whole time since July...
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

I am somewhat ashamed that I was baited into naievely responding to this Foul thread... probably from the "new-LF" thread-creation spree of '12.

It should be a serious topic. These works really need to be made into real blockbuster movies to survive for another generation. People with Hollywood contacts need to take note. I have a plan to get to speak with Peter Jackson (not that he'd be my first choice, but still....).
