Thanks, Dead_end!
Just submitted the updated trailer that finishes up Part II. The addition is a stealth sequence.
HockeySam:
Do you think this scenario would fit the criteria for 'historical' for your design contest? I know the story of Tristan & Iseult is folklore in the same vein as the Arthurian legends or the Viking Sagas but, as with those, there's significant historical veracity for the legends.
I assume your intention was to not have completely original, designer-created fictional material for the contest; that is, it wasn't your intention to prevent a portrayal of a ten century old legend that was derived from historical events and persons partially but not completely shrouded in time.
If given a thorough history section backed by research on the historicity of the legend and a setting and story grounded in the historical 10th-11th century Cornwall and Ireland (with a few modifications for the medium and the audience), would this scenario be justifiable historical for the contest?
You did consider Haiku of the Ronin sufficiently historical and while it featured a historical character in Matsuo Basho, the story and the character of Soji was entirely my creation.
I can see either argument for admitting or disallowing this scenario but I would prefer to submit this scenario since I feel it will be a stronger and more accessible entry in the contest (this one actually has action!). Plus from what you've seen of my other campaigns, I do really try to infuse a lot of the history and culture into my works.
Thanks
