Sali!!! I had so much fun talking to you about being lesbians for our romantico assignment! Its sad to see you go, but I'm glad at least I could be on the eliminee block with you

. Judge one was right on the mark actually. I was thinking of the bride from kill bill, but I did also worry about the glamor part =/. I kept thinking of action movie posters more then glamor i guess (wanted to show sue's killyouyetstaypretty side) but I dunno, we'll see with the next assignment.

Oh and congrats to Rosemary and Ashling!

Queen Kitiara · Oct 10, 2007, 01:16 PM // 13:16

Wow that's awesome ty Stalker! I have so much on my plate right now that even though I checked the thread about 20x looking forward to the next assignment, I feel super relieved that I can get much other needed stuff done and know I might even get ahead without any TNTS work possibly suffering

Assignment 7: "Märchen"

So, we are now down to six lovely ladies, who are destined for the top spot in TTS productions. Who will it be?

I'm sure a lot of watchers have their favorites, whether they are still there or long gone. It would warm my heart if there was more support for the lady that has captured your hearts. Cheer them on, wave their colors, sport their look. It's getting down to the nitty gritty, and I'm sure these wannabe actresses are so worn out and getting frustrated while the numbers whittle down, that I'm sure their spirits will pick up if they knew they had some fans.

Of course, I have my favorite, but that is undisclosed for now.

Now on to the next exercise that TTS Productions will sponsor in order to find Tyria's up and coming actress. We are going to put you in a creative and magical role this week.

As you may know, from the many movies that have come out in the past years, that there has been a lot of remakes of movies. Whether they are remakes of old movies, old books, old cartoons, and even old pastimes that we loved so much. Remakes are making big bucks nowadays, with new technology rearing its head into these classics to make them more real for the audience. TTS Productions has now decided to dabble into this popular trend and we want to try it out on six ladies that are left.

We have only one problem, we haven't decided on what we want to remake into a big motion picture.

I was hired to be one of the writers of these movies, and I have a list of six stories that could possibly work for the next summer hit.

I felt that I could just assign a girl to each story that I have selected. I want each of you to portray a certain character of the story that is given to you, and become that character. Once you have found your character, I want you to take the story and come up with a movie poster or DVD cover to give to the graphic design team, so they can put the title of the movie and the credits for each movie. You must make this poster/DVD cover to unique and recognizable to the story so that the graphic design team can match the title to. So try to not make it so obscure that they cant recognize it.

As for the stories, I'm sure everyone has heard of these stories so no one should have trouble recognizing them and making them their own.

Little Red Riding Hood - Rosemary Marron

Hansel and Gretal - Tasha Darke

Rapunzel - Ashling Fey

Snow White - Queen Kitiara

Rumpelstiltskin - Eryn Shadowbane

The Frog Prince - Sue Aside

If you do not recognize your fairy tale, please e-mail me asap for the story. If I do not respond as fast as you thought I could, these are all Grimm Brother's fairy tales, and are very easy to look up.

I wish you luck girls, TTS Productions' summer hit rest on your shoulders.

Headgear is allowed, but be cautious of it.
No picture editing, Graphics's team will do that, but remember they don't know who has what fairy tale so make it easy for them to tell.

This assignment is due Saturday, October 20th 11:59 PM GMT +5.

Rosa Vixen · Oct 14, 2007, 01:08 PM // 13:08

Woah
Awesome Theme

Queen Kitiara · Oct 19, 2007, 04:22 PM // 16:22

Thanks Tidus! It was nice to meet your brother

that is so cool u 2 can team up on GW together

And thanks to all the kind volunteers I met last night to help with with a daunting task! Snow White is a tough one! Im already looking at shooting some more for what I know can be an awsome shot

They were all cool with being posted on TNTS so here's a shot of us setting up

Kahlindra · Oct 19, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

/dies of impatience.

I didn't expect to get hooked to watching this, but I am. Eagerly awaiting the next round of shots.

Stalker Haras · Oct 21, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

And once again this week, we have quick results for you all! Less then 2 hours after the contestants had to turn int heir assignment! Good job to all turning things in early to give the judges and I stuff to do!

Sue Aside

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: AWESOME effect! Loooove the special effect you used, and Sue's surprised look! A few small corrections would be that the prince looks stoic, and I had hoped he looked more alive. The frog is great. Your angle is a little weird, I wish to see a little more of Sue's face, and you could have easily solved that by turning her a little to the camera. Clever use of effects!

Judge 2: Ooh I love the effects, and the surprised look of Sue in this picture. But I got to admit I didn't even know what fairy tale you had...and it took a comment from one of the other judges to point out the frog to me to understand what was going on here. Now that I know its there...this picture is really great with little swirly sparkles rising above the frog. Another angle would brought the frog out more. You need to realize your surroundings and positions, but I do love your creativity.

Judge 3: I love the animation showing that the price appeared. I figured he had already appeared and the frog part was already over, but then i noticed another judges comment on the frog being there. It isn't something that catches your eye, and when you finally see that, then you finally see which fairly tale you had. I felt you could have portrayed it better, by changing an angle to show the frog a bit more.

Ashling Fey

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: You had a very very hard fairy tale to portray, and I feel you did it justice. I mean, I got romance immediately and I saw the prince charming theme in it. Obviously you couldnt add on lengths of hair so I feel your initiative to be creative and make this romance instead of "fairy tale -ish" very smart. As well, the angle you put the audience in, makes me feel like the witch peaking at the couple and about to throw the prince off the tower. Good job.

Judge 2: Boy, I applaud you Ashling. You knew that you didn't have long hair to portray the princess, but you studied the other elements of the story. That was the basis of this assignment, was to study the other elements and produce a very eye-catching DVD cover and you aced it. If the girl doesn't have long hair, whats the other element of this story? The tower of course! It's very romantic and very fairy tale-ish, and I love that you both used the same colored armor, to make that glow from the light even more magical. You are the Queen of lightning, dear. I would of just asked you zoom out a little to see that tower a little bit more, but its great!

Judge 3:

...I wish I was the Prince Charming...:P

On a more serious note, i love how you didn't go right for the obvious scene. It's awesome that you still included a tower in the shot, which floored me when I saw your submission for this week. I totally saw Rapunzel in this, before even seeing the title you where supposed to show us. Only thing i felt was bad is, you are kind of small in the picture, but I guess theres not much you can d about being high up in a tower.

Queen Kitiara

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: What a shot! Each of the elves have their own personalities, and you two make such a cute couple! Great GREAT shot, I looove the elves. But that might be a slight problem, when made into a cover, there might be just a litttttle too many distractions. However, the focus is still on Prince Charming and you. Another small detail is the legs, they look misplaced and like, torn apart... but I believe thats more of the armors bugging up than your fault. GOOD job.

Judge 2: Hehe...I love the pun that was defiantly intended here with the snow atmosphere, its really wonderful and brings out the dreary, yet beautiful outlook of the story of Snow White's plot. I especially like that you went out of your way, and had some kind friends to help you with the seven dwarves in the background(even if there isn't really seven). The only problem that I see, is the from the waist down of you and your prince. The waist up almost looks like he is lifting her up to give her that romantic kiss...but looking down it looks like a mess because of the boots you have. Other than that, I can really tell that this is Snow White, and good thing the graphic design team did too.

Judge 3: Damn, lucky prince. I want to be him too! *raises hand *pickme**
I love the snow, I love the white on your armor, and I love that you introduced the elves, in which are doing their own thing, instead of all doing the same thing, which you have done in previous assignments! It seems you finally got out of that habit hopefully, and you seem to be doing a lot better! Only thing is the boots glitch to much into your prince charming, but it's nothing you can help, unless you removed them.

Rosemary Marron

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: Lovely. The light on Rosemary's face makes her seem innocent, playful, exactly like Little Red Riding Hood. The background does not overwhelm any detail, and truly adds to the ominous ambiance created by the wolf. That wolf looks TERRIFYING, and I love how you got it to be positioned right behind the rock. Great execution of this shot. Ya know? Your hair also looks like a hoodie from that angle, and really, superbly done.

Judge 2: I really love this shot! The background is just so great, keeping with the scary and mysterious forest that this fairy tale had, along with the bright colors that you noted in this piece. Plus, how would it be Red Riding Hood, without it's antagonist the wolf?m I love the fact that you had placed him almost in a hiding position, while Little Red looks almost lost and confused and that cheerful innocence. I loved it!

Judge 3: Wow! I totally saw Red Riding hood here. I love the outfit you chose with this, and I love how you are int he woods, and the fact that the bad wolf is right there behind you! Theres nothing I can find bad about this picture, it's exactly what I would have expected from Little Red Riding hood, good job!

Eryn Shadowbane

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: I loooove the little elf in the background and you contemplating your escape. However, I must first point out that big board blocking your arm, very distracting, and like I've reiterated a million times... little details are soo important. Another small detail is that standing.. thing (Can't make it out) behind the elf. Its there and it shouldn't be. However, I really liked your concept very clever placement of characters!

Judge 2: I can easily tell which fairy tale this belongs to, and its very cute and simple. Which is what we are looking for, because if you give to much of the plot away in just the DVD cover...why should we watch it? It's really subtle, and I like that. I especially like that you used an elf for your Rumpelstiltskin(my god that is a hard name x.x) and the way you positioned him far away with the campfire...it makes it more personal. I loved the scene you picked where the protagonist is being sneaky and trying to listen in on the goblin. It would of added a little more touch if you had him dancing...because he is a freak. Other than that, the only thing that is distracting is the board that is in your way and the brightness of your clothes. Yes, your the center of attention but you don't want to blind us.

Judge 3: Very simple to tell which fairy tale you had. Only thing that really bugs me ...and i mean really bugs me is the "board" or whatever it is right in front of you. You seem to notice things that distract the image from you, but it seems you don't want to fix it, instead going with a shot that you can clearly see mistakes in. I think thats something you could improve on, and should. But all around a well performed assignment.

Tasha Darke

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: You really have a great sense of color, it always makes your pictures pleasant to look at. Great execution of Hansel and Gretel, I totally got that, and with both of you looking sad I wish I could just jump into the picture and lead you back home. The use of coins were smart, however I wish you placed the male in front of the shiny effect because right now, the shineys look like they're coming from him. Lastly, your shoulder looks displaced, not completely your fault, but small details add up.

Judge 2: Hansel and Gretal. Hehe, I liked that you used a fellow ranger, and honestly I couldn't think of a better profession to use in this fairy tale (way to go Bob!). I like your position along with "Hansel's" and how you are both contemplating either where to go or where to get the hell out of there. Snowy atmospheres seem to be popular when trying express doom hehe. One thing I kind of find faulty in your execution is the trail of gold that you added (which is a nice touch), is hard to tell if there was a trail or not and the fact your "Hansel" was sitting on one. Possibly a better angle to show the trail would of been nice.

Judge 3: The gold with Hansel is the first thing that caught my eye. It was very distracting, although I did understand where you where trying to go with this shot. It's very creatively thought out, and the fact that you used another ranger as your brother worked out well. As another judge said, another angle could have been used to show the gold trail more.

Results to be posted soon!

CasterOfShame27 · Oct 21, 2007, 05:50 AM // 05:50

Ahhhh good job everyone! Competition is getting SO much harder. You all are putting on your A-games!

Stalker Haras · Oct 21, 2007, 07:22 AM // 07:22

Well, here we have the results for this weeks assignment. You all did great in portraying your Fairy Tale, but as we all know, someone has to be eliminated. Here are this weeks Scores.

Sue Aside - 1 + 1 + 2 = 4(UP FOR ELIMINATION)
Eryn Shadowbane - 2 + 2 + 1 = 5(UP FOR ELIMINATION)

Tasha Darke - 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
Ashling Fey - 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

Queen Kitiara - 5 + 5 + 5 = 15(UP FOR IMMUNITY)
Rosemary Marron - 6 + 6 + 6 = 18(UP FOR IMMUNITY)

Immunity Holder: Ashling, you've lost your immunity title to the winner of this weeks winner. Congratulations on getting it, and your performance this week to show us you put 100% effort into your shot.

Eliminates:

Sue Aside - You've held Immunity multiple times. It seems that after you did, you let it get to your head, thinking you could hold the top, and since then, you haven't done so well. To stay alive in this competition, you need to keep the same focus, or better, not jump around.

Eryn Shadowbane - You've done a mediocre job throughout this competition, and we feel you could have done much better on some of your shots. You realize some of your own mistakes in the shot before you submit it, but choose not to fix them before you turn them in to us.

Immunity:

Queen Kitiara: Congrats, your first time in the immunity bracket. Surprising isn't it? This week you've earned it. You've gone from being someone who was in the eliminatee bracket, to mediocre, and where stuck there. Now you've risen to the top, and we hope you can keep yourself here.

Rosemary Marron: Once again you've given us a stunning performance this week. We hope to see more of this from you whilst in the top 5 of this competition.

And now, for the eliminatee:

And as for our New Immunity Holder:

Congrats to you girls, You've made it into the top 5. From here now, this gets even harder then before.

iriyabran · Oct 21, 2007, 08:27 AM // 08:27

oh my..i've been looking at the thread from the beggining and never posted but i'm quite sad that sue got eliminated
her shots were always very appealing to me T__T

Perynne · Oct 21, 2007, 08:44 AM // 08:44

All I can say is... wow. So many surprises this round! I was so used to always being a little short of the top that getting immunity really made my jaw drop. Also, I really wasn't expecting Sue to get eliminated. It would have been really weird to see Eryn get eliminated, but it's just as weird to see Sue go.... You had such wonderful shots, and I hope to see more of your mesmer one way or another!

Competition is getting really fierce.

Eeeek.

tidus yumemiru · Oct 21, 2007, 11:47 AM // 11:47

nice job ladies u can really tell what u were going for

Ashling- the big red armor and the black wolf make it very striking as well as descriptive to the fairytale

Kitiara- thats the stuff! go the elves

Eryn- a bit off the mark this week but, not by much looking forward to the bounce back this week

Morag D · Oct 21, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

congrats Rose! very nice shot - I also loved Kitiara's, it's a brilliant setting

Sue, we'll miss you! is it only me or is it really freaky how fast the time goes?

well well. even though I realize it's not my desicion, and it won't change anything, this time I feel like i want to explain a few things about my shot cuz the stuff on there is not just so random as everybody seems to think

I know this will not make my shot better but still...

the board thing is actually part of a carriage I'm hiding behind. it might not have turned out that well, but it was carefully planned - Eryn was meant to be half hidden in order to appear as if she's just sneaked up to Rumpelstiltskin. the person in the back is there on purpose too, it's supposed to represent the hunter that originally overheard rumpelstiltskin. the queen isn't even supposed to be in this shot, however I thought this the most remarkable scene of the märchen and interpreted it with a little more freedom. and third, the brightness of my dress. again, this is probably due to 'bad' light conditions, but I don't think I have armor that would be less white - plus, Eryn's supposed to be a queen, I wanted to bear that in mind. the elf is dancing, even if it doesn't look like it.
I don't want to seem /pout-ing all over the place, but just to show you I do think about my shots

xxSilhouette · Oct 21, 2007, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Wow you guys, I have to say I am completely in awe at some of the work you guys are doing, especially this week!!

I really love the effects in Sues picture, and my favorite has to be Kitiaras this week, I also love the lighting is Ashlings.

All of you are doing fantastic!
