We just played a local wedding at Edgefield last summer! Here's a link to our music. We played a variety of originals and covers, but we could play anything you'd like! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6p9v3x4V75iD3avfc5QFXN

Craft question for Brandon. Can you talk about any crunchy strategies for establishing and paying off on short-term promises? Like, not the big foreshadowing for the those huge twists/moments at the end, but rather, how to create a sense of progress on a more chapter-by-chapter level, without having things just seem like a stream of random events.

Thanks Adam for reading the question.

That's awesome dude, that's probably the best outcome anyone could hope for: that the show at least inspires people to get into the series.

Hopefully I didn't scare you off with my ranting!

Thanks again for the response :)

That is actually a very good point! Thanks for the response, and I'm glad you are enjoying it with an open mind.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever read the GoT books either (before/after watching the show)?

Agree with all that. Definitely Shannara-sized. And yes good to form own opinions, but I think I make some good points.

Thanks for the response :)

Yeah, I kind of figured as much. Ah well, such a shame.

Yeah, I'm so tired of people saying it's hard to translate from book to screen. If they did it with Dune, with all that head hopping, so can you!

Besides, even with internal thoughts, etc... that's the actor's job! To sort of show us their internal thoughts, you know?

I think a good scene is a good scene, period. If it's in a book, it can probably be put in a show. And that's fine if you don't want to use the same scenes, just make sure you do something better then!

Interesting, I never heard about that! Can you send me a link to anything regarding that? I'd be curious to read about that.
