This legitimately makes me tear up. It reminds me of the practical effects from LOTR and the behind the scenes vlogs from that production. I didn't realize how much I missed this level of quality and passion in a movie project. Well done.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

Doing this video series was the best marketing the DW could _possible_ have done, in my opinion. Seeing the practical effects BEFORE watching the show is getting me _so much more hyped_ for watching it than posters would have. Or even a traditional trailer, honestly. I'm sure that's coming, but these behind the scenes diaries are just the BEST hype tool.

[@meganjaime7728]

It reminds me of what the production team did for Narnia. For Aslan and then for all the creatures. Very cool!

My God I'm so impressed with the production value of everything I have seen so far... well done Daily Wire.

[@alishadegroot9100]

Do we know when(abouts) in 2024 we might get to see this? Every time I see a diary, I get so pumped for the production. I'm so excited. I love how many things need to happen to make a movie and getting to actually see those things through these diaries. They should be done more often so people can have an appreciation for the industry and how much goes into it. Have I mentioned I'm excited yet? Because I am.

[@Ivywalls]

Y'all, this looks amazing! I just finished "Taliesin," so I'm super hyped to recognize all the scenes.

[@coleman318]

It’s mind blowing to see how much effort goes into movies. The complexity of just the animatronics team is breathtaking.

[@alexpaleale]

This legit makes me so excited about filmmaking… It made me want to go into film production 😅 it’s honestly beyond me how these big films would rather use green screen and cgi than actually shoot on location and use real props and special effects. Productions like this remind us of the magic of filmmaking :) I will definitely watch this- ideally on day one of its release!

[@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov]

Yeah so much better than A.I. Hopefully it doesn't take that away from us. I want to pursue filmmaking too (and to write the scripts and score, music, for my films, as well as draw the concept art. I'm not fond of CGI either.)

[@JRRob3wn]

When I was a kid, I fell in love with HW blockbusters like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, partially because of the amazing practical effects. You wondered how the hell they did that and watched behind the scenes making of footage in amazement. Models, matte paintings, actual locations will always look better than CGI if done right. To this day, films like Ben Hur stand the test of time because of the incredible care and attention to detail taken by thousands of craftsmen. I doubt most CGI laden films will be remembered in another 25 years.

[@mikey7747]

And the movies that do overuse cgi, green screen, etc still blow massive budgets. It's not like they save that much money. Nothing beats practical. The new Dune has done a great job it too.

[@rpgadventurer32]

When I heard DW was making this series, I assumed there was no way they could (or anyone could) pull off the bull dancing. Figured they’d skip it. Which made me sad because it’s such a formational time in Charis’ life. They are nailing it! 😊

[@fleeptough7714]

Dude my excitement for this show is almost like a Game of Throne/House of the Dragon level. Can't wait for the show to come out.

[@cieskidar]

I love this!! You guys are taking such care to stay true to Lawhead’s text. The characters look how I imagined them while reading. Can’t wait. This may be my favorite epic ever.

[@wkadalie]

They can't compete with name recognition....or with the budget of hollywood. So then they need to go for Hollywoods major weaknesses.....storytelling. And using practical effects. Chosen is a great example.... I think good storytelling will break through.

[@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov]

No, they should do "The Man who was Afraid" by Maksim Gorky: Russian/Soviet writer who was 6'4 (supposedly, according to the internet), had a deep voice and high cheekbones. I want to see Matt Walsh play Ignat as he fits the description of the character completely: he has dark hair, a deep voice and is six feet tall (in the book Ignat's exact height is never described but he is described as being a "giant". Six feet would have been very tall for a Russian back then and even now and that combined with broad shoulders...) 😅. I don't know who Brett should play, maybe Natalya, the second wife of Ignat who dies after giving birth to their son, Foma (not sure who should play him but it should be a real actor this time because he's the main character). Brett would also fit the description because Natalya as she is also described as tall (even though 5'8 was probably not what Maxim was thinking but whatever) even though whereas Natalya is described as being very quiet and contemplative, Brett is more peppy and bubbly in her personality. But hey, if Brett is a really good actress I'm sure she could pull it of.

Also if you guys weren't heading to making fully A.I. generated films and firing everyone you can to cut costs than for the fight scenes you should really hire and work with the Czechslovzkian, HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) channel Adorea Olomouc: they do cool videos with swords and spears and everyone praises them for their accuracy and realism (and let me tell you it definitely isn't the stuff you see in Hollywood. It looks exactly what is depicted and shown in the old fighting manuscripts) and to my knowledge are not "woke" as they are entirely male and European. And they're REALLY good.

It actually slipped it was 3M+ per episode. But in a very well managed way. Meaning the cost to do in USA would had been 2X to 3X depending the episode.

[@rpgadventurer32]

​@@AlexDiaz-gw5ov3m for how many episodes? 8? So 24-30m overall for the whole first season without marketing costs? That is relatively very cheap, especially based on the size of this production.

[@AlexDiaz-gw5ov]

@@rpgadventurer32 suppose 30M overall. + at least 3M in advertising and marketing. 33M. Indeed impressive. No doubt would cost 3x if it was done in studios all on USA. The abomination that is the wheel of time is over 100M+ per season. Willow was 120M+. Even the first season of GoT cost $100M ond that was over a decade ago now. Even if Got actually was impressive they made their seasons at 100M considering how impressive those productions still are. Apparently DW learned all they could from The Chosen first season production. Which is incredibly it was made at 1M per episode including A&M. The latest seasons now cost $30M+ which is why they had the genius idea of putting them in actual theaters too.

[@What-he5pr]

How is this different from what you normally see on streaming platforms?

[@rpgadventurer32]

Well, first of all it's more culturally authentic in terms of visual presentation than what Netflix and Amazon Prime have been doing lately. Beyond that, there is also a return to practical effects and filming in real locations. Another element that you won't find in current day productions of streaming platforms is the existence of faith based elements in the story. A significant part of this version of the story is how the people at that time period converted to Christianity and this is mixed with the fantastical/magical elements that are connected to the story of Merlin. This is not going to be for everyone, but it really depends on how they'll translate these elements to the screen. Imo, they should make it far more subtle than how it was in the book.
