Re: [lojban] Re: any news on the movie?
Our local Lojban group members and I have been in touch with a local
amateur film maker. He is eager for us to translate his films. The
most likely candidate is a short film called "True Extremes", about an
amateur film maker who snaps under adversity, travels to Hollywood,
and goes on a very cold and philosophical killing spree among those
who harmed him, which he films to make a point.
Here is the script: http://www.nemorathwald.com/TrueExtremes.htm
After the comments, names, direction, and other non-spoken text is
removed, there are six thousand, five hundred spoken words. This is a
do-able chunk of work, especially if the online community joins in. I
have read several of his scripts, and unfortunately he does not make
any films that do not have massacres in them.

I've been snowed under and had one of those weeks. Computer and palm
pilot died at the same time and with them a lot of the archives of work
in progress. (Someone up there hates me :-| ) so I haven't been able to
keep that ball rolling.
HOWEVER...
If you look into the internet movie archive there's plenty of public
domain or cc licensed films available which could be set up as projects.
check: http://www.archive.org/details/movies (of which a personal
favorite is "voyage to the planet of the prehistoric women ;) There
doesn't appear to be a great deal registered with cc
(http://creativecommons.org/video/) yet.
celtx looks like a good cross platform collaborative screenwriting
authoring tool (cvs not yet implemented but a bit of
coordination/delegation can fix that) which could be used for getting
down the scripts and splitting out sections for translation, dubbing,
sound effects and such. http://celtx.com/
Anyway I'll be tied up for a week or so sorting work and things out
before I'm back working on projects. In the mean time check out the
resources above and you might find something worth a look. (There's a
vincent price film - i think it's called "the last man on earth" that
though feature length has little dialog, and enough quiet space to
splice the actual environment and soundtrack back in to bed overdubbed
voices, but I haven't had a chance to watch it all to figure
appropriateness.)
Chat you all soon
