Looks wonderful, Marten!
I have a suggestion if we ever re-film anything for the "dvd version." We should make Dusante look like Dusante (his avatar is always blonde with no facial hair, and he wears t-shirts without gloves.. correct me if I'm wrong, Dus). Also, Tah is supposed to be female.

I have no idea whether it was being gone on vacation or being severely distracted that kept me from noticing before it was too late to do anything about it. Oh well. Razz

That's a nice idea, but I just don't think it is workable. I have many reasons, but overall there are these two that stand out: (1) it just adds too much work to worry over it, and (2) there's no way to get full historical accuracy for every person, so doing it for some people and not for others might smack of favoritism, and I don't want to get into that.

Except where we're running DRC members or their employees (Sharper, Henderson), participants are going to look like themselves. If someone feels that it is unacceptable to not look like themself in the film... they can show up and represent. Smile

(I bent over backwards to make everyone's schedules fit for Episodes 2 and 3... and some people didn't or couldn't show up even after I scheduled to fit their convenience. So this is a bit of a sticking point for me.)

There are going to be some inaccuracies. We've even got an "Until Uru" T showing up here or there... that didn't exist during Prologue either. It won't kill us. I've always said this is "as accurate as possible", not "100% accurate or your money back."

Also, fair warning... I can't control who shows up to volunteer as an extra, so sometimes genders may get swapped, even if I know in advance what gender a person is supposed to be.

Anyway, no hard feelings I hope - I just have to keep this reasonable.

I think that's fine, Marten. I can't imagine how hard it is to organize these shoots.

Episode 3 is rapidly approaching completion. Three translations are 99% complete, and the fourth translation should be ready this weekend... then we'll be ready to launch.

Professor Askew can begin composing his announcement now if he wants... Smile
