Filming Hloch


Filming Hloch's Introduction to The Earth Book Of Stormgate

We hear a narrator reading aloud the entire Introduction.

We see:

Hloch "...on the peak of Mount Anrovil in the Weathermother..." (p. );

the Wyvan Tariat, elsewhere, speaking to Hloch;

the country around Spearhead Lake held by Hloch's parents;

aerial views of the human towns, Gray on Falkayn Bay and Centauri on the Gulf of Centaurs;

Hloch's father, Ferannian, working as an engineer alongside human beings;

guests roaming and hunting near Spearhead Lake;

the nearby copper mine;

Ythrian and human members of Stormgate Choth in flight;

Hloch's mother, Rennhi, writing The Sky Book Of Stormgate, assisted by Hloch;

Ythrian ancestors, Avalonian founders and their descendants;

space combat in the Terran War - previews of The People Of The Wind;

ruined landscapes and skies gone strange;

Hloch on Imperial planets in a merchant crew;

Ythrians and human beings on Avalon.

Kaor, Paul!

I can see some appearances by Hloch in filmed versions of a few of the stories in THE EARTH BOOK OF STORMGATE. But I think they should be kept fairly minimal, because Hloch was simply an editor or compiler, not an active character in any of those stories. It's the story people will want to watch, not the editor!

Ad astra! Sean
