Didonian Forest

The Rebel Worlds, CHAPTER EIGHT.

All of this, except the odours, would have to be reproduced on screen:

Odours
fragrant
sharp
rotten
spicy
ozone
nameless

Sounds
chatter
caw
whistle
wingbeats

Plants
gnarly, thorny dwarfs
soaring slim giants
vines
fungoids
diversely shaped foliage
spongy, springy mat underfoot

Colours
no green
brown
deep red
purple
gold
different shades

"The overall effect was one of somber richness." (p. 443)

No shadows; gloom; trees; thick brush; pearl grey sky; low clouds; the sun, Virgil, marked by a "...vaguely luminous area..." (p. 444)

This scene cannot be filmed in a regular forest or jungle.

Kaor, Paul!

Film makers/directors will have to use a lot of CGI for any good movie version of THE REBEL WORLDS.

Ad astra! Sean
