Film and Lit, 4/26/07 (final class!)

[actingreaper]

Daisy was sitting back in her arm chair next to a table laden with snacks and beverages, trying (and failing) to eat a Der Wafflehouse mini-waffle with dignity.

"Well, kids, this is your last class. I'd like you to each give a quick little presentation on your final projects, just tell us what movie you picked and how you would make it into a film, put your treatments on my desk, and then you can feel free to stick around and have breakfast, or you can all run off to go back to bed. Either way."

[ooc: OCD is going up. Thanks to everyone who helped make this class pretty derned cool!]

Cassie gave a presentation of her adaptation of 'Little Red Riding Hood' into an action adventure epic where Red crushes the big bad wolf after an amazing battle with lots of explosions.

Hamlet described his final project, which was a film version of the classic play Amleth. In his version, the four hours of the full text were cut down to the most important bits in two and a half hours, and the setting was moved up from a 7th century Viking Hall to a late 19th century western European palace.

Most interestingly, he'd also changed the ending a bit so that Amleth may have possibly survived the massacre at the end of the story, and ridden off into the sunset with the love of his life. Hamlet had always felt kind of sorry for that poor guy.

Zero presented her treatment of Sabersedge. It was a fairly straightforward adaptation, but included a few more fabulous swordfights just for the hell of it and made the deliciously frakked-up relationship of the protagonists a bit more...explicit. Ahem. In her words, "Sex sells."

Other chatter

[actingreaper]

For before, during, or after the presentations, while you grab snacks and such things!

Talk to Daisy

[actingreaper]

Or at least pass her a napkin?

Seriously, guys, you all took a difficult RPG class concept and ran with it. Awesome.
