Knightmare Transcripts: Interested?
-
I think it's a good idea. I think that this should go somewhere on a page on this site, because I found that the Series guides (except series 1) only give a rather rough idea of what actually happens. This will give a much clearer picture of all the rooms involved, because some are not even mentioned on the Series guides in the Teams pages.
-
Well done, Velda! Very dedicated, I must say...but if you're planning on writing out the whole series please remember not to overtax yourself - I'm sure others with a bit of spare time would be willing to help you out with any quest you are on to convert Knightmare into text
-
Wow!
-
Yes, I think it would be a good idea to have detailed episode guides (like the above) on the website. And yes it would probably be better to have a separate text file for each. Perhaps they could be eventually all zipped together and people can download them.
If anyone decides to write any, the best way to submit them is to e-mail it to me and I'll stick it on the site.
-
Yay, thanks Illusion! When I complete an episode I'll put it in a text file then e-mail it to you like you suggest. I've finished the first ep of Series 6 so I'll send you it first once it's in text format.
Does anyone else want to help me undertake this mammoth task - apart from BillyH? It means we can get the job done quicker...please? I'd be grateful!
-
Hi Velda. Well done, it's a great idea. I remember you mentioning the idea before, and you really did it! Kudos to you.
I've got a few ideas/etc., also after having checked your KM dictionary type thingumy. Mind if I IM them to you?
No, fire away! The only prob is that I've only got two days left at the course the site was made in so I'll have to be quick! I'd do it at home but I don't have ftp.
Still, I'll try 'cause I'd like to see a bit more there myself. -
You talk to yuor selft bicause of that too?
And I thought I was the only one -
I'm happy to help out with S4 scripts. It's not my favourite series, but one I have access to, and is always grand to watch and listen to closely as ever.
Not set up a Bristol Uni Knightmare fan club yet, but keep mentionning it in passing. Had S4 on the other day, and a guy from my block came in my room, and promptly screeched and left... I tried explaining that S4 wasn't the most sinister ever - but he just remembered KM scaring the living daylights (sorry, listening to A-Ha right now) out of him. Amusement. Anyhow, fingers up for helping out S4 wise.

This transcription is a great achievement - all the more since you enjoy doing it! Well done.
Note for anyone who comes to transcribe any Latin (from Hordriss, Brother Mace et al): If you get stuck, write it down phonetically and no doubt there will be Classicists available to check it (I for one!)
-
Assuming I can get my video working I could do a transcript of some of Series 8. That would include the final episode.
Majida: So it ends for them yes?
Treguard: For them yes, for us no.
But it did end.

Finger up as a classicist. Series 4 will not be a problem as far as that goes. Am studying English and Latin. Was just itching on the one occasion when Mace 'asks' - I don't suppose you speak any latin? - The thought at 14/15 of saying 'Oh, well, a little, yes!' Heh.. might have knocked the rosters a bit. Even correcting the pronounciation of 'iocus', which I think is wrong. Still, Mace was arguably my fav. in-dungeon character in S4 anyhow, apart from 'one's' old favourite, Magister Veneficus, Hordriss.
Hehe, what a splendid way to study latin; learning from KM. Bet you Virgil would have quivered in his old bare feet at Mace's res gestae tabernae.
Sempiternam requiem, and all that.
-
Majida: So you never giver up, ever!
Treguard: Well I will if he will. Shall we find out
Picks up and looks through spy glass
LORD FEAR! LORD FEAR; ARE YOU READY TO SURRENDER?
Lord Fear: WHAT! ME SURRENDER! YOU MUST BE ABSOLUTELY OUT OF YOUR TINY MIINNNDDDEERRRR

Salve! Good to hear from a fellow Classicist. I'm actually a graduate of the fine subject, now doing a Masters looking at Ovid. (Let me know how your own studies shape up.) I'm intending to start an 'anyone do Classics?' thread on here at some point, as I've always found that knowing about the Ancient Greek and Roman takes on 'fantasy' enriches the experience of watching Knightmare. Arguably, without the Aeneid, there'd be no Middle-Earth, no Galaxy Far Far Away, no Hogwarts, and no Knightmare as we know them!
So, there you go: at least 2 Latinists prepared to assist with fine-tuning the transcriptiones!

jumps up and down Majida-style
RedMage, of course you can help me by doing S4 - hehe, this is great! And with you and Drassil knowing Latin well that's really cool 'cause you'll have no prob with all that Latin. There's no way I'd be able to spell it correctly, lol!
Well here's a list of people so far up for doing scripts:
Motley - Series 3
RedMage/KaM - Series 4
BillyH - Series 7
PummiesterWhitely - Series 8
And I'm attempting Series 6. That just leaves Series 1, 2 and 5.

puts hand up Another Classicist graduate here! Joint MA in English Literature and Classical Civilizations. However, since it's a joint Honours, I didn't do a language. I wanted to do Latin, but the workload with English was just too high. Ah well.
Anyway, back on topic. I could transcribe Series 2 and 5 for you, but it might take a while.
