<p>Arts and Sciences Competitions</p>
<p>Words Can Be Prettier Than Pictures</p>
<p>"Bring out your dead!" "As you wish." "Did my boy change his stars?" "It's only a flesh wound!" ..... Abundant are the memorable phrases from the medieval movies we've seen over the years. At Baronial Birthday, a calligraphy competition will be held. Entries should be a favorite phrase from a medieval movie, done in a period hand (document please). The hand need not match the time period/place of the movie. Limited illuminated embelishments please. Cadels, flourishes, pen work encouraged. Please indicate novice calligrapher, practicing calligrapher, or advanced calligrapher on your entry form.</p>
<p>I Can Make One of Those!</p>
<p>How many SCAdians have day dreamed about being able to work on props or costumes for the movies?Here's your chance! Choose an item from your favorite medieval movie, and recreate it. Should you wish to create a more SCA usable item, you are welcome to adjust the characteristics of your item to make it more accurate. OR you may simply create the item as it is in the movie. Either way, please document what you've done, how it was displayed in the movie, and how it may have been different in a more period form. Creativity with item choice is encouraged.</p>
<p>Fictional Examples</p>
<p>A dress. (This dress exemplifies the dress as worn in the opening scenes of the Princess Bride. (see pictures of original) I adjusted my pattern to incorporate a more accurate 15 century lacing style on the back of the dress.)</p>
<p>An Orc goblet. (This goblet was created as a reproduction of the goblet held by Bob Orc in the Hobbit. A period goblet from the middle ages would not have had a base shaped like that in the movie. However, the design was very eye catching and unique, so I decided to recreate one as it was originally displayed in the film.)</p>
<p>In addition to the above description, standard information for A&S documentation (materials, method,etc.) is encouraged and will be part of the judging form, but not required. </p>
