I've been in contact with:
Custom flag makers to make some tapestries to use as props
Taxidermists to get some bull horns to use as candles, for props.
Lots of different Abbey's / Chapels / Cathedrals to film in their Undercrofts.
And I finally have a finished story, just got my first draft of a script last week and have asked my writer Sam Kearns to make a few changes here and there, he's very understanding of what I want and is totally great at taking criticism, thank God, I would hate to have a stroppy writer. This guy is pure freakin' gold.
Here's a sample:
INT. THIEVES GUILD - NIGHT
A dagger rams into a map of Skyrim. Vex, master thief of the
guild scowls at one of her subordinates.
VEX
The count of Bruma has a lot to
lose. Firstly, his Son. The idiot
has sent his own blood to carry the
package. Secondly, his prize. What
we know about the amulet tells us
not only of its considerable value
but the depraved history behind it.
Finally, his city. Its invaluable
to him that the amulet reach
Riften.
She traces her hand from the border of Skyrim to Riften.
VEX
He knows full well that if the
rebellion bleeds over to Cyrodil it
will come from this province.
Brumas population is 40 percent
Nord. If the inserrectuion reaches
his borders then his grip on his
own lands will fail. This amulet is
such a peace offering that our Jarl
would be against any strikes into
the heart of the empire.
Considering all of this, there is
only one conclusion. The Count has
much to lose. However, we would
lose much, much more.
THIEF
What will we lose?
VEX
Our reputation. A cataclysm of that
size would disrupt the country for
leauges around. The time of the
Thieves Guild will come. Now you
understand the magnitude of your
task. Steal the amulet and return
here. Do I need to explain what you
will lose if you fail?
This is by far my favourite scene of the script, and Sam is working diligently to get the rest up to scratch.
Oh, and Eastnor Castle very graciously waived their £2,700 per day fee to let me film there, provided I only film OUTSIDE of the actual castle, but I can use their landscape for filming on, which is exactly what I want, bloody fantastic. Here's a picture.
Looks fantastic, right?
Now my challenge is Actors and Clothing. I need three main actors, two actresses (though these are short roles) and two secondary male actors.
Next update I should have lots to tell.
