  Episode 11 words, round 2!Oct 20, 2010 11:29 AM PDT | url
 
Okay, think I've finished the script, so next I get to do...about twenty fewer storyboards than I had to do for episode 10, which was probably too long. :D In fact I'm fairly pleased with how concise the episode 11 script has ended up, considering that it summarizes about half a year (story time, I mean) of the story through to episode 10--not to mention an event or two that took place well before it began--and then covers something close to another two years after that. How's this for a general summary of Vero's story in a single line of dialogue, for instance?
 
"She had been tracking a shipper--Vero Plank--in connection with an advanced, clandestine Core Sys cloning project: a project that appeared to have some degree of access to Perriman's perfected cloning techniques."
 
Perriman's Perfected Cloning Techniques! Available only from A* and licensed resellers!
 
Ahem. Anyway, I don't want to give you the impression that there isn't any new action going on in this episode, because there's actually plenty! Covering two star systems and even a goodly bit of interstellar space! And oh, those corporations...
 
"It MUST have been one of the corporations. Only they could afford to be this devious. But why?"
 
But it isn't all just suspense and big speeches! Nope, there's the down and dirty, too:
 
"These are robots we're up against, men; don't make the mistake of thinking they'll accept surrender or escape."
 
Robots?! Whose idea was that? They always turn on mankind and cause trouble, don't they? Boy, maybe the high rollers cruising around near A* should have read more sci-fi.
 
Okay, that's probably more than enough dialogue leakage. Next day's update will have what will probably be the first of two batches of sample storyboards from the upcoming episode.
