RPGWW Radio Dramas!
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:48 pmHowdy!
I recently came upon the idea that, though I have no drawing skills and my writing talents, though potentially good, are usually too time-consuming for me to flex, that I actually have another way I can enrich this community.
Keep in mind that what I'm about to say is highly theoretical. It's just an idea. But it is one that I think could work.
It occurred to me that there is a *slight* chance that there are none of you with my background in acting and music. This is more shady in terms of music, but I'm much more sure about the acting part. If you want I'll post a resume with my credentials. Unfortunately for me, the music I can do tends not to be of the kind that loses little in translation to electronic medium, so I doubt I can do anything along those lines...
HOWEVER...
I am a skilled and trained actor, and I also have access to skilled and trained actor friends who are usually up for anything... and I mean anything... so long as it involves acting. So, what I thought I could end up doing is making a series of RPGWW-based radio dramas using existing characters and scripts written by the members of the RPGWW community. No, the episodes wouldn't air on radio, but they would be made in a radio-type format.
There ARE some limits- I don't think I could do sound effects, so it would end up more like a book-on-tape than a radio show.
Anyway, in order to do this, I'd need to have both approval and permission from the owners and creators of the characters portrayed, as well as scripts written by people who know and understand that what they write is not inviolate and it most likely will undergo some kind of changes during the creative process.
I'd also need descriptions not of what characters look like, but what they *sound* like, and try not to use Gaera terms when doing this, since the people doing the interpreting have a 99.9% chance of not knowing or caring what any of those terms mean.
Also, if I manage to pull this off, I want to say right now that nothing produced will fit your exact image of your character. Don't expect it to come out exactly right.
That said, I think I could really do this with enough support, though it might take me awhile to get it rolling. I'd just like to see what the community has to say about this.
