Is this going to be more Radio Drama esque than a pure script read? Since we have one of those already http://audio-drama.com/doku.php/directory/audiodrama/duel_of_the_fates
My intention was to make it much more of an audio drama than a pure script read. I had run into that performance and although I think it was fun for what they did, I think that there’s a way to both have the narrator an active participant in the story–creating tension, drama, emotion–but also to make it a little more seemless.
Example:
ORIGINAL SCRIPT:
INT. KUAT ORBITAL RING - CORRIDOR - DAY
The graphite BB Unit swerves to avoid a brutish LABOR DROID, scraping BB’s spherical side against the wall.
His head tilts down, checking a scuff in his paint, revealing ORANGE beneath. It’s BB-8, DEEP UNDERCOVER.
He lets out a familiar “uh-oh” and rotates the orange scuff beneath his head.
MY ADAPTATION:
(Gliding down a corridor,) the graphite BB Unit swerves(!) to avoid a brutish LABOR DROID, (and) scrapes (it’s) spherical side against the wall.
(The BB unit’s) head tilts down, checking (the unfortunate) scuff in his paint, revealing (a familiar) ORANGE (hue) underneath. BB-8, (is) DEEP UNDERCOVER.
SFX *UH-OH!
He rotates the orange scuff beneath his head.
So yea, my hope is to not diverge too far from the script, but also make it a bit more seamless and narrate it with inflection.
