Re: There and back again; a Neverending Tale. Neverending Nights

Post by Tawmis »

Made another one this morning -

This was originally supposed to be used in Episode 60 when Grayson trains with John the Journeyman. And looking back - I actually don't know why I used a different track during the training session. As a result, I can't recall if this track ever got used - and so wanted to make sure it got heard - and laid it over the training scene (where I should have used it!) and it literally fits perfectly. So it will be a mystery as to why I never used this track rather than the one I used. (Other than I really love that haunting chant that can be heard on the other track).

Nicely done. ;) But John the Journeyman has an enchanted sword (enchanted with acid)? I thought no-one except the heroes/villains should have enchanted swords. (Heck, Peter & Grayson don't have one until nearly the end) :P

Grayson actually gets an enchanted sword VERY early on (Episode 9). Peter, however, NEVER gets an enchanted weapon (however, he does use the sword, in Episode 64 to kill the dragon).

And there's guards, seen in Episode 16, who have swords that have electricity coursing through them (a gift from the dragon, Peter and Grayson encounter in Episode 21).

Yes, Grayson has a sword that talks. I was thinking of the classical fiery sword/ice sword/etc.

As for the guards with electric swords ... OK. But isn't it a classical element of fantasy for heroes to have magic swords? ;) Think of Rakeesh and his glowing sword, for instance.

You've played NWN. :)
There's a few people seen with magic weapons throughout. :)

When I asked Travis Richards to create a pirate song for an upcoming episode of Neverending Nights – he delivered – in spades. The song can be heard in Episode 33 “There Be Pirates” – where Peter the Ranger tells a (fictitious) tale about how he and Grayson were pirates on the Scara Sea. (And Scara refers to a friend of mine named Sara, who came up with – quite accidentally – the phrase we used frequently in the series – “That Kicks Rocks!” She’d meant to say “That kicks @$$” and “That rocks” – and came out with “That Kicks Rocks!”)

Neverending Nights - Music Video: Chaos (and Chaos Orchestra)
I don't remember why Travis Richards had made this song - I can't recall where I would have used it. As a result it was never used, but since I had the music - I wanted to high light Travis' music so I just cut some footage to the music and uploaded it here for everyone to enjoy.

Once again, just highlighting the incredible music Travis A. Richards provided to us - I took the footage of Episode 57 (which this song is used in, but it's so faded in the background buried between voices and sound effects) - I have been going back through and apply just the music to highlight how great it is.

Even though the show itself is over, I try to keep content going on the Neverending Nights channel by splicing music Travis had given me to scenes from Neverending Nights -

This one is "Into the Fire"




This one is "Lullaby" -

Someone newly discovered Neverending Nights and was commenting on some of the episode videos; which made me get a wild hair up my rump to knock out a few more music videos.

First one, "Funeral March" was made by Travis Richards for the death of Grayson.

Next one, "Inferno" was made for all the combat that we used in Neverending Nights (which was pretty rare, since I typically focused on dialogue when I wrote the series; but there are a few scenes of battles, the music video captures some of them from the series). Music, as always, by Travis Richards.

This one was called "Mother (Crimson Draco Legion)" and was used specifically whenever "Mother" appeared, who we learn is actually a Red Dragon.
She was voice by Pat Freese, Adam's (who voice Grayson), who we lost this year in April. So this was a bit emotional to go back and hear her voice again, as I was piecing this together.
Music, as always, by Travis Richards.

"March of the Hero" was intended to be the end musical piece; but there was so much dialogue it's barely heard in the episode.
So like always, wanted to just focus on the music, and stripped out the talkie.
