The witch who fortells your death could also be considered The Prophet of Doom (which has a great picture). Also, one could make an argument for the circus performers as The Wanderers.

This could be a fun experiment for several movies!

Talking about epic battles… I’m trying to turn a Final Draft (6) file into a pdf – the first page are all revisions (marked in red and with the asterix on the right) and for some reason the first script page of the pdf shows these HUGE BLACK STARS on the right. Anybody in the hive know the remedy??

This is the work of Tom Gauld, which seems to be uncredited on the “Team Forty” website.

I like the Skeleton ;) The Minotaur reminds me of one lecturer’s short movie ;)

I think the camaraderie/handshake in films is more about knowing where the line of dialogue came from:

"Wait, come back! I was going to make espresso!"

"Even great men have to pee."

"If we've told lies, you've told half-lies. And a man who lies, like me, merely hides the truth, while a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it."

So if we use ALL of those characters in our story that pretty much guarantees Lord of the Rings-esqe fame and fortune right? ;^)

Not superstition – we’re not in a theatre, after all. Just habit. Call it the Scottish Play in the right circles and you can go from outsider to insider in moments.

I wonder – is there a similar handshake for those with a long background in film? I suspect not, it’s a different kind of camaraderie.

Scottish Play, huh?

Someone is superstitious! Won't say Mac****? :-)
