A Transition Of Media · 9:19pm Aug 30th, 2015
So way, way back in time, TheBBofC read Checkmates and liked it. We talked back and forth a little bit in the comments about what it would take to make it into a live-action film.
That was something like two and a half years ago. Fast forward to last week, and I get a message in my inbox asking for permission to actually do that!
Whoa!
Turns out, he's been working on assembling the equipment and talent this whole time. Well, probably not the whole time. I assume he (or she) has been working on other things, as well. I was floored when I got the message asking to take the project a step forward. Today, he sent me an update saying that they film about half of it, but had a ton of standard filmmaking problems. For those that don't know, my background is in film production, so I totally get it. Making a movie is hard, frustrating work, people.
But it's so awesome to have someone making a short of my story! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Wow! Don't think I've ever heard of a live-action... Oh, wait, My Little Dashie.![:facehoof:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/facehoof.png)
Okay, I don't think I've ever heard of an entirely live-action performance of fanfiction. This promises to be a quite interesting!
Woo, congrats! "Checkmates" was on my fave list long before I even had a concept of you as a person, and truth to tell I had forgotten you wrote it. This is good news!
