Definitely, just curious I looked at the script pages at the end the first volume of Gail Simone's Red Sonja series, and there's a big difference between the two. Is that other than one or two panels, most of hers don't go into anywhere near as much detail as Lane's, it was mostly just thing like Sonja and her companions ride their horse to the forest towards a big city in the distance, and things like that. There were a few that went into a bit more detail about how things are placed and stuff like that, but still not quite to the level that Lane did.
The problem with Lane's script is not the amount of detail. You can include more or less as preferred. The problem with Lane's script is the choice of details. That's why he wasted the first page just to show screenshots of a movie that isn't finished yet.

In AxaMonitor Daily:

  • Rising legal tensions as Axanar surrogate Jonathan Lane censures former Axanar director Robert Meyer Burnett for posting disputed footage from the “Heroes” vignette in Fan Film Forum. Accusations fly, prompting late-night lawyer’s letters. We have copies!
  • Alec Peters’ Friday deadline, which came and went; is he really suing Burnett in California after all? And why’s he trying to lay the blame for his failed settlement attempt on Burnett when Peters made settling contingent on a third party, Mike Bawden, forgiving Peters’ debt of thousands of dollars?
  • Finally, did Peters walk into a well-planned trap this past week set by YouTube conspiracists Midnight's Edge and MechaRandom? (who brandishes a mean riding crop, btw)

Fer cryin' out loud. The longer this goes on, the more ridiculous it gets.

There really should be a facepalm meme. Oh, wait. :techman:

Seems like Burnett is rising to the occasion of being a dick about all of this too. WTF.
 
Yeah, I'm starting to think nobody is going to come out of this whole mess looking good.

Not only that, it seems like the major players are TRYING to look terrible. That seems to be the only explanation. They can't all be THAT stupid and self-centered... could they?

[Ron Howard] They are. [/Ron Howard]
 
Well, when you get a bunch of people with *some* industry experience, and give them some money, and let them go on and on about how great they are, and people give them more money, and they get all wrapped up in how awesome they are, and there's sushi and tires that need to be paid for, and people gotta be paid for being so awesome, and a studio needs to be built, and equipment bought, and pizza, and alcohol for the office, and carpet needs to be laid, and people give them more money, and computers need to be bought and set up, and a green screen, the biggest in all the land, and cell phone bills, and underwear, because people have to have underwear, and socks, and there's the sets that have to be built, and more money is needed for costumes and craft services because people have to eat, and the SFX people need Doritos and Jolt Cola ...

It all makes sense, right? :techman:
 
So, interestingly, for the first time since I don’t know when, I just got an email from Axanar. Seems they still have my address after all these years (no update required) and saw fit to give me an “update” as to what’s going on.

Message reads:
Prelude to Axanar Watch party and Fundraiser Tonight at 8:00PM!
Our dedicated Youtube producer is on disability and his well pump just died! We need to raise $2,000 for him, so we will be doing a 2 hour YouTube Live Stream with a Prelude to Axanar watch party and Axanar chat for two hours! Find out the latest on the two new episodes, what kind of Andorians we will have, updates on the October shoot, and more.

Great prizes given away all night, and John is giving away Axanar swag on his GoFundme.

So joins us 8:00-10:00pm EST tonight on the Axanar YouTube Channel.

The Blueprints are Coming!
Axanar artist Alexander Richardson has been doing a complete set of USS Ares blueprints. He is almost done, and when he is, the complete set will be available to all Axanar fans!

Patreon donors are getting a preview, so sign up if you haven't already!

Thank you for your support!

I was kind of surprised by this, considering we early donators were pretty much left out in the cold since all the legal trouble began.

Damn them, I’m always a sucker for good blueprints. It’s going to be difficult to ignore those when they come ready. Since they’re not being done by AP himself, they may actually get done...

Is anyone else concerned that the go-to thing when something goes wrong that Kickstarter is the fix? It's becoming a bit ridiculous.

I love that the early access for the blueprints is exclusive to Patreon donors. How much damn money do I have to give for a little consideration?

Okay, how much damn money do you have to give, I actually got my Prelude Blu-Ray and patches, so I'm sitting relatively pretty.
 
Are you kidding? Has everyone here forgotten that RMB was a total dick whilst attached to Axanar? His attempts to act like a good guy post the fallout merely papers over that reality.

True.
I guess it’s so not in my nature to provoke people, I assume that’s everyone’s nature.
I don’t understand why all of these guys need to act like children in public.
