Not too sure where to put this but Shock Tactics, the local theatre group for my school, have authorised me and some friends to do a play on the first KOTOR, and if it is successful teh second as well. (I have been cast as Malak, and will also help directing it as I know the games the best.)

Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Feel free to post.

I suggest buying Force FX lightsabers...if your budget can afford it.

Yeah, I hope it will be. We actually have about 10 Force FX sabers (in all varieties) and the theatre is really good with effects so it may work quite well (or be a total flop).

Is this something your production's studio is writing or a real play?

No it's a real play, which will be shown in my school but to anyone who wants to come. We have edited it quite a bit and cut A LOT out but it still follows the game accurately. As to when it happens, should be December ish. Emperor, what do you mean by treatment?

Ok, an update...

The group, being the wonderful kind people they are, have agreed to fund us with a grant of £1850. This is great news as it means we can do pretty much everything we wanted - it is more than 3 times our budget. However, this means we have to do a lot more work, so I won't be as active as I used to, as long as the play is still set to show in December. We were discussing delaying it to February, but we are still at odds. If it is shown in Dec, then the next one will be April, if not, October.

test out the camera beforehand and experiment with the best settings for the lightsabers, etc.

The thing is, the lightsabers are Force FX, so in order to get the best effects everything has to be DARK. REALLY DARK. So we were thinking about enhancing it in post preduction, and leaving them as they are in the actual plays, (most don't know properly about lightsabers anyway) which would make it far more like a fan fiction (the video).

We also have been experimenting with putting different powered torches actually inside the cheaper lightsabers you get, actually dismantling them in the process. It does work and produces a great effect, but the blades become loose and, of course, there is no sound.

So, people, I need you help and am holding a brainstorm here. What would you do (reminder - we have the money) ???

Anyway, the sound of FX sabers are not loud enough to hear clearly from a stage. You should add the sound to scenes externally during the play but surely this will prevent on-stage improvisation, so your moves in duels will be pre-defined. During the duels, you can turn off the headlights a little and add smoke to the scene so it can cover the fakeness of FX sabers.  Another possibility is using triangular shaped fabrics attached to rods (to generate light trail effect) I know it sounds stupid but if you can be really fast with those, it would look superb. (Some Kendo talent needed here). The third way is generating the duels on a canvas with projector. You will wield normal rods looking like lightsabers and with light projectors, your shadows will be on canvas back of you. By making the shadows bigger, you can increase the epicnessl of the duels and it will be cheap Razz. By using different color lights projected on player's area on canvas, you can focus on duelling sides. (For example one wields blue ls, other green ls, Blue wielding guy will be illuminated with blue and the other with green)

Yeah, the lightsaber thing is quite a problem. Your triangular fabric idea looks good, but we have also been developing a soundtrack for it. We did a pilot of Taris, and it worked well.

This sounds stupid of me...but which ending would you do, and what about the side-quests?

And...what about Revan's voice?

We're following the male dark side Revan, light side female exile plotline that is generally accepted. As you know from KOTOR Revan only says things like "Yeah?" and "What?" So we don't see a problem.

Oh, and we're only following the main story. We changed it, slightly, in saying that Revan randomly unleashed bursts of Force energy at people on Taris. We had to cut out the Star Map on Manaan. It seemed pointless. So now, we're trying to do the Leviathan scenes - revelations etc, but the girl who plays Bastila is really ill, so we have to delay by two or three weeks.

Very daring, Crozeus, very daring.
