I can't say what we'll be doing as we're not even close to that stage of production, but I'll keep it in mind as a possibility. If anybody would like to assist in the current stage of development, that would be the most helpful. We need to establish customs, holidays, and at least the block on which the protagonist is going to live. For the neighbourhood, we need to know what shops are where, who runs them, etc. Bring the area to life by giving its inhabitants life, even if they're only seen once every five episodes, or once at all. One life-giving element I would like to see is some kind of shop run by a "native" Lojbanana. If anybody else is intimately familiar with a culture, please come up with some kind of character and place for that character that is extremely characteristic of that particular culture. I think a Japanese restaurant is probably the best example for Japanese culture. I can't think of anything more culture-laden than a mom-and-pop washoku place. Maybe an old Scottish lady could run the school library or an old book store? I'm just basing these off of my experiences. Every used book store and library, in my experience, has an old Scottish woman, and every mom-and-pop Japanese restaurant has felt very welcoming to me, so I try to bring my positive memories forward and blend them in to all of this. If anybody else has any positive experiences or memories regarding a foreign culture, post about them, paint a picture of it, create a character based on it. Our character hasn't landed yet, so let's build up something before he does. =P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
