Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes

There is a lot that goes into making a project as large as The Kingdom of Ikros.  This section will scratch at the surface of just what goes on behind the scenes here in the land of make believe.  

Location Production

Movies and stories just wouldn't be great if they were shot on a blank stage.  Great sets and scenery add depth, emotion, and set the mood for the upcoming action.  The Kingdom of Ikros is no exception.  Here are three pictures of some of the sets used in Chapter 4, Noble Words, of Ikros: Chaos Skies.  You'll notice that even though two of these sets are supposed to be of a large forest, the actual sets are very small, and in fact have re-used parts.  Yes, nothing goes to waste in Ikros, well, almost nothing.

Concerning Pictures

So how does Anthony decide what shots go where?  Well, first he writes out the script.  After printing, and usually somewhere in the editing process, pictures are assigned on the pages next to the paragraphs where they will be placed.  Here are scans of the last three pages to Chapter 4, Noble Words, of Ikros: Chaos Skies.

Deleted Scenes

They're not all winners.  Sometimes certain pictures, or even entire pages of a chapter are removed so as not to harm the story as a whole.  Here is a scene that was deleted from the original Chronicles of Ikros .
