Neither Jean, nor I can get back in at the moment... Might have to try again later. It just won't load.

Several people all crashed out simultanously - MJ, Brian, GermanShepard, and at least one more person. GS told me that after that, he was finally able to get back on, but the Nexus was broken and he could not link to other neighborhoods.

Earlier, Tweek had mentioned that people had managed to sneak into Dereno ahead of the DRC's planned release. So, I suspect there are some severe problems with the server. So, I've called an end to the filming for this weekend. (Can't even get back to my own relto now.)

I am grateful to everyone who showed up - we got a lot filmed and although I may have to refilm a bit for consistency later, I should be able to "make this work."

:big thumbs up:

Edit Your Relto books should be re-energized shortly. Folks ticketed the outage with Yeesha's hotline, and they're on it.

Here is a small taste.

This shows Phil linking out using another explorers' Relto book after discovering that there isn't a Nexus book yet in the 'hood he is visiting!

Note that the pedestal is the one used at that time in Prologue, with the KI register. Smile

The nexus crashed about a half hour later... it was rather unpleasant.

Here's the plan.

Tomorrow I'm going to go through the footage from last week, identify names, and hand those names over to Eleri. Eleri's job will be to track down those people through whatever legal means necessary... Smile

If Eleri is occupied, the job falls to Mystlander.

Around noon on Saturday, March 24, I'm picking up and filming the rest of Episode 4's "live" scenes. The goal is to get as many of the original participants from last week back to continue their roles. If we can most of them, it will save a lot of time and effort (less re-filming).

After that, I'll probably finish Episode 4 in about 2 weeks, so, April 9 launch or so.

Simultaneously, I'm going to talk to Malakh and/or ghaelen about working on Episodes 5 and 6. ghaelen may not be available - I've heard she is very busy. But if I can get just one other person up and running with the camera, filming one Episode while I assemble another, this ship will begin to sail a lot more smoothly.

If anyone else is interested in being a videographer for the episodes, please let me know. To be a videographer, you'll need:
* FRAPS or similar
* DVD burner and spare DVDs
* A happy, outgoing personality - or at least be good at faking it

I'll be happy to discuss my approach to filming with you. There are a few little "industry secrets" I'll want to share.

Cool

As most plans go, "late Thursday" hardly seems like a reasonable expectation after I said "tommorow" back on Saturday... Sunday would have been more within the norm... but there you have it.

The persons needed for filming on Saturday March 24 are these seven distinguished individuals:
* Brian Fioca
* Zukeenee (green, straw hat)
* GermanShepard (purple hat/JC shirt)
* Geh' dahn (black Riven tee, brownish shorts)
* Rebekah (black jacket)
* Kyven (green coat, tan pants, ponytail)
* Thend (all black outfit)

The parenthetical notes are in case these persons have changed wardrobe by the filming date; they'll need to be dressed as they were for the prior filming session.

The objective in getting all of these seven people back together again is to minimize refilming. I am willing to bend my schedule to catch these people at a time where all can be present. If one or two cannot attend, I'll try to get extras to dress up the same as the missing actors. The extras then sort of get to play another person, playing another person... if that isn't too confusing.

Again, use any legal means possible to track these people down, please! If you cannot find them on the forums, see if you can get their KI numbers.

If you're filming and need an extra... just send me a PM and I'll head to the Bevin.

Mystlander · Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 2:45 pm Post subject:

Marten,

If you need a private Bevin that won't attract login lag, I can send you, your camerawoman, and the other actors Personal Invitations to Geh' dahn's Bevin.

Hmmmm... black Riven tee and brownish shorts... Now, where did I put that spirit gum? Wink

The Eleri has been the walking dead lately, and needs poked at directly.

The Eleri can delegate responsibilities to Mystlander while she is walking dead.

That's why you're a team Smile

Sorry folks - I was overwhelmed with various and sundry things this week and didn't get a chance to update even my own schedule...

Update But I got a PM from Mystlander saying she contacted all but one.
