auwebber23 1 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It is so witty that the topic started back in 2016 and still has some activity, as many as 14 pages have been collected! That's what the Tolkien saga does to people! By the way, I read another good book, The Crucible. I liked this playwright so much that I wrote an essay about it at https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/john-proctor/ and I really want you to read my work. Someone will be interested in reading the full work after my essay. On this platform I help to write works for students of different colleges, so I recommend it to you.

Popular Post Jay 37,368 Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 It's so bizarre to me that a book publishing company would commission Doug to write this book and pay him to write it, and then.... not release it. When will that contract expire and Doug can ask another publisher to publish it instead, I wonder? And what happened to Impossible Silence?

When will that contract expire and Doug can ask another publisher to publish it instead, I wonder? And what happened to Impossible Silence? Wait, someone was supposed to pay me for that!? Rats! Contracts -- at least in my situation -- are not necessarily given expiration dates. Not that I think it would matter in this case. The rights are so specific that you can't really even shop these things around. Between the movie and likeness rights, the Tolkien Estate, and the music publishing, the book needs to be done a very specific way. Right now, I'm trying to see what comes with the Amazon show. My deep hope is that a) it sort of clears up some rights restrictions and b) it rekindles a bit of interest. We shall see. It doesn't help that the Amazon production itself is a bit of an enigma. (Note to Amazon: if you hire me as a music consultant, I will erase that last sentence.) Impossible Silence -- I don't want to get into it, but someone I was close with had a mental breakdown while we were in production. (This was not someone involved with Impossible Silence or film music at all.) Tragically, that person did not survive the ordeal. I turned my attention away from the book during that time, and it's been very difficult to regain momentum. We actually started the ball rolling again in 2019/2020, but the pandemic stopped everything once again. Compared to the suffering others experienced in both these circumstances, the derailing of a niche film music book is, of course, nothing at all. I only mention it to address the question. Again, I still haven't given up hope. In this instance, putting a little time between writing and publishing actually makes the rights a bit easier. The few things that would had to have been cleared will all be public domain soon. So that's good. And hey, Spielberg is making a movie now that he's been trying to get going since before the days of E.T., so sometimes these things just take a long, long time!

Popular Post Doug Adams 494 Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 Also worth noting that documentaries, by their nature, are still filmmaking. Certain elements are shaped to make them more easily observed. Clever editing, ADR, and even visual effects are still employed. (My first appearance in the Smaug video blog employs some subtle CGI, although you'd never know it!) Just saying.

For instance, the documentary from The Battle of the Five Armies that talks about the woes of the production, for instance, completely overstates the point, not because anyone is being disingenious, but simply in trying to provide a kind of "low-point" feeling to the narrative presented by the documentaries.
