Alright, so I've been working on this love lad for a little over a week, and I thought I would give it a try and see how much time hes willing to waste for 78,000$ (cough). Well, this is the snippet from my converstation with him. Well I finally recieved my trophy from him today, and I must say I am very happy, happy enough that I want him to write up the rest of the movie (and maybe the other 2 sequels as well, but we will see how it goes)..

(2:46:48 AM) ME: If you rent the movie for a month, and it costs 100$ we will pay for that as well

(2:49:48 AM) lovelad: am interested jst becos of u
(2:49:54 AM) ME: =)
(2:50:26 AM) ME: So can you please get the movie as soon as possible, its called 'Lord of the Rings: Fellow ship of the ring'; its directed by Peter Jackson
(2:50:36 AM) ME: and write me a 15 minute sample of EVERYTHING that is said

(2:54:24 AM) ME: Thank you SOOOO MUCH
(2:54:28 AM) ME: You just saved me so much time

Anyways, without further ado, I have attached the 15 minute sample, I see many things wrong with it, but I think I might just let him slide and get him to write the rest of it.

Very nice work!! What a tedious job for him to do for you. Twisted Evil

Very Nice. I especially like the evil lord Sharon. I might use that.

By the way, your second link is to the thumbnail not the full-size image.

I have a girlfriend named Sharon (who knows that I bait). She'll be touched to hear of her new identity.

BTW - great result, mzda.

I couldn't see page two ...and I wanted to know what happened next. Crying or Very sad

Anyways ...an excellent trophy mzda ... well done clapping

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 2:42 pm

Ok, all fixed, second link should be working..

I should have the rest of the movie script done within a week or two..

Then, maybe/possibly the 2nd/3rd parts of lord of the rings as well..

I'm also interested in Harry Potter, we will see what happens.

I knew a Sharon once, and I seem to recall her being pretty evil. Nicely done.

Have him do a porno movie next. Very Happy

Hmm thats a good idea, maybe I should get him to rent a homosexual porn movie (I hear that West Africa is extremely anti-gay).

Although, there isn't much talking in those types of movies, just the occasional "Oh ya baby, you dirty little animal"

Would take him 10 minutes, the reason I decided on LOTR (Which I dislike, incase anyone cares) is because the entire 3 parts makes a grand total of like 9 hours, but if you add in the 1000+ times he has to play/pause it to right down the next thing said, it would take him a very, very, very, very, long time. Which means he won't have much time to romance any other possible victims.

Great trophy Mzda ! Has he started on the secondd chapter of his handwritten book yet? Laughing

Well I shot him off an email from my baiting account as my Characters partner (who i've refered to before) and thanked him for his work, he already said he was willing to continue and write up the rest of the movie.

he did say though, that 15 minute sample took him an hour...

So if any math guru's are here, that's 1 hour work for 15 minutes...
Which a rough estimate means hes looking at like 12 hours of work, just on the first part (Fellowship of the Ring).

Hmm... I hope he gets done by the time "The Hobbit" gets done filming, thats due to release in like a year right? So i've heard.
Ill definatly keep you guys updated.

Surely with your deadline being Star Wars Day, it should have been The Phantom Menace that you made him transcribe?

Excellent work though! Nicely off script and onto something utterly useless.

Just talked to my lad, looks like we are on for the rest of the fellowship of the ring (at least)

Quote:

(7:52:50 PM) ME: By the way, nice job on the script, it's exactly what we are looking for
(8:03:13 PM) LAD: i have checked the mail
(8:05:49 PM) LAD: are u there
(8:06:09 PM) ME: Yes
(8:06:11 PM) ME: Of course I am [removed]
(8:06:14 PM) ME: Whats happenin?
(8:06:53 PM) LAD: i wanted to mail him back
(8:10:03 PM) ME: Great, let me text him, I think hes still at the office
(8:10:20 PM) LAD: ok
(8:11:09 PM) ME: Umm, so are you going to do the rest of the script for us?
(8:11:36 PM) LAD: yes
(8:13:11 PM) ME: Alright, sounds good.
(8:13:20 PM) LAD: OK
(8:13:21 PM) ME: Just do the rest of the movie exactly how you did the sample
(8:13:26 PM) ME: How long will it take you to complete?
(8:13:57 PM) LAD: IS IT ONLY THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
(8:15:21 PM) ME: Yes, but I talked to the investor today, and he might be interested in the 2nd and 3rd sequels to the lord of the rings
(8:15:43 PM) ME: I presented the sample to him, and he was very excited, and offered even more money.
(8:16:23 PM) ME: He said to me that the quality of work you did, deserves much more then 78,000$. We did not talk about how much, but I believe I am safe to say it is a 6 digit profit margin.
(8:16:59 PM) LAD: ok
(8:17:15 PM) LAD: so wat about the invoice
(8:17:54 PM) ME: Well since we are hiring you to complete the entire movie, just hold onto it and we will pay a lump sum at the end.
(8:19:10 PM) LAD: are u there
(8:19:41 PM) ME: yes
(8:19:58 PM) LAD: so wat about the invoice
(8:20:10 PM) ME: (8:17:54 PM) ME: Well since we are hiring you to complete the entire movie, just hold onto it and we will pay a lump sum at the end.
(8:20:20 PM) ME: We will pay the entire invoice when the script is complete, is that ok?
(8:21:18 PM) LAD: but we had an agreement
(8:21:58 PM) ME: Yes, I told you though, that if we did not hire you until, we would pay for the sample, but as we are paying for the entire movie, I will pay you one giant check at once
(8:21:59 PM) ME: Ok?
(8:23:10 PM) LAD: is not done that way
(8:23:33 PM) ME: Yes it is, [removed] I told you that before, that if we did not hire you for the entire movie, then we would just pay you for the sample.
(8:23:54 PM) ME: [removed], you're going to be getting over 100,000$ for this script, if you want you can quit.
(8:23:55 PM) ME: Just tell me
(8:24:04 PM) ME: It's your choice, but I ALREADY TOLD YOU what was going to happen.
(8:24:10 PM) ME: It is not my fault you didn't read it carefully.
(8:24:29 PM) ME: now if you want to finish the script, we will pay you for the entire thing at the end, if not.. then send your invoice and we will pay for the invoice
(8:24:45 PM) ME: If you want to make more money, ALOT MORE MONEY, then finish the script please.
(8:27:04 PM) LAD: am willing to work with you guys but send me a prove
(8:27:29 PM) ME: [removed], that is not how we work, finish the rest of the script, and submit your invoice then. I will not negotiate, this is how it works, take it or leave it ok?
(8:29:03 PM) ME: I just talked to Jeff, he said the same thing, since you ARE WILLING to complete the script, then we will pay you in the end, after we get paid by the private investor
(8:29:13 PM) ME: We do not currently have any money from the script either, we get paid when it is completed also.
(8:35:01 PM) LAD: you know am doing this because of you
(8:35:41 PM) ME: Yes I know, and you are helping me out a great deal, even if I wanted to pay you for the invoice, it would come out of my pocket, and then I would still have to get someone else to do it, it's just easier/faster if you complete the script, and get it to me, so I can pay you in the end.
(8:35:42 PM) ME: Please [removed].
(8:36:23 PM) LAD: ok
(8:36:58 PM) LAD: but u are still hiding something from me
(8:38:11 PM) ME: [please], I am not, seriously.
(8:38:18 PM) ME: So can you do it please or not?
(8:38:26 PM) LAD: ok
(8:38:29 PM) LAD: i will

OK he's doing it, phew... for a few minutes I thought he might not be doing it.

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 4:56 pm

Excellent job. There are quite a few spelling mistakes though. Don't you think he should do it again? Twisted Evil

I had a hard time convincing him to do the rest of it, by making him redo the sample, I think it will be a sure fire way to stop him in his tracks, ill let him complete the entire LOTR movie first.

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 6:30 pm

Nice job - I'll bet that took him a while.

I look forward to the full version of "The Two Towers" in ball-point next Very Happy

You'll never forget your first trophy. May you get many, many more.

Well done!!! clapping

Hilarious! I love it. Make him go through the movie and establish each scene shot by shot and he'll earn extra LoL

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 10:36 pm

well done,i cant wait to see the rest of your bait. Very Happy

Fine work, shipmate Thumbs up

This is an excellent modality. You might tell him that the optical character recognition systems are having a field day with his sample. The input of the handwriting is almost a hundred percent accurate. There should be no problems with payment if he can keep his handwriting at the same level.

The script is useless if the handwriting isn't in cursive, isn't it?

Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 2:46 am

If he already turn Sauron into Sharon (I also know a Sharon, quite a nice girl actually) what is he going to write when they start talking Elvish?

But indeed, a very nice trophy. Can't wait to read the rest, especially as I'm currently reading LOTR (again...).

Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 2:54 am

Better make certain he writes both what is said in Elvish/Orc/etc AND subtitles!
