scene directory

[bonibaru]

This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to know of the existence of a directory (spreadsheet form or otherwise) of Guardian (drama) scenes by episode - what characters are in them, time stamps, and so on?

I am getting to the age where I can no longer rely on my memory to get me through 40 episodes of material every time I want to look something up, and before I start making one I thought I'd check and see if it already exists.

If not: perhaps crowdsourcing a google doc would be a benefit to the fandom? I have no problem setting one up and then people can chip in, many hands make light work, that sort of thing.

Friends of mine have been keeping one (I sadly failed to contribute much), but IDK if it would be useful / appropriate for public consumption - I'll alert them to this question!

[riventhorn]

This would be a very useful resource. I'm on my second rewatch and am regretting not noting at least the major SW/ZYL scenes in each ep. Some I remember but there are just so many good moments.

[asya_ana]

I would really love this. My memory is crap and I'm always struggling. Google Doc would be great. My dream is a wiki :D But a Google Doc could lead to a wiki!

This list of characters might also help with putting something like that together

Also these transcripts in Chinese -- there are some embedded pics and you could check out translations yourself, etc.

This would be super useful! I'm making a clip library and it's basically just been watching through the series via frame-advance so far, lol.

I checked a bit earlier today when we were talking about making a wiki, but apparently wikia.com is down or broken or something? I hope it's nothing permanent or I would say we should just go for it.

(Or if anyone else thinks a fandom wiki should belong somewhere other than wikia.com, I'm all ears.)

[phyrry]

likealeafonthewind and I (mostly her) have been working on a wiki on Imp's Hubzilla server, for whatever that's worth.

[bocje_ce_ustu]

I'm slowly working through (Italian) transcripts of the series for a friend, so I could help with keeping tabs on the scenes.

[trobadora]

OMG, that would be a fantastic resource.

[china_shop]

That would be amazing!

I put all the transcripts in a single Word doc so I could search them, but that requires me to come up with accurate scene-specific search times, and I still spend a lot of time hunting around for things!

[bonibaru]

ME TOO we should definitely talk.

[bonibaru]

You are very kind! I just hate to duplicate effort and am more than willing to jump in and help in any way with something that's ongoing. 40 episodes is a lot, but not if 40 people do 1 each!

[bonibaru]

My problem was I know where the big things are but I can't find things like casual stroking of the hallows that I need right now for ... reasons.

[solo]

DM! :) (Just because I want to have SOME idea of who has the editing link!)

[likealeafonthewind]

It's kind of slow going right now so any help would be much appreciated! This is what I have so far for Episode 1. If anyone has suggestions for how else to structure this so it would be helpful to people looking for a reference, please let me know.

[bonibaru]

That's amazing!

[tinny]

i'm in, what do you need? what do i need to do?

(I already have a ton of other fandom responsibilities, though, so i might not be very fast. but i love organizing and cross-referencing, so i guess i'd have fun with it?)

[likealeafonthewind]

Thanks!

Oh, what do you mean by time stamps?

[likealeafonthewind]

Yay! Any help you're able to give we are happy to take, no worries about speed. (I also love organizing and cross-referencing, and I have been having fun with it.)

You'll need to sign up for a Hubzilla account in order to directly edit the document. I literally just stay signed in and don't use Hubzilla for anything else besides editing this thing. You have to use Markdown to code the entries, but there's a link to a cheatsheet on the Home Page of the wiki and it's not hard to use if you've never used it before. And then just go forth and conquer! Feel free to edit any of the pages, or add new ones.

If you don't want to sign up for an account and make direct edits, you can also just compile whatever reference info you want and link me to them and I'll add it for you.

The minute/second where the clip appears. For example 15:00 - 18:30 is the time stamp for a scene that starts at 15 minutes and ends at 18 minutes 30 seconds.

[asya_ana]

That's amazing! Is that something you'd be willing to share in a gdoc or something for the Common Good?

[china_shop]

Ahaha, oops, I said transcripts when I meant subtitles. /o\ It's less impressive than it sounds. ;-)

[likealeafonthewind]

Oh, okay. That...might be a bit much for any one person to do but maybe if we as a community split up the episodes? I think someone else suggested that in the comments already.

[galaxysoup]

I made this in December - it's by no means comprehensive, but it does at least mostly get all the Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei scenes and it does have timestamps.

[tinny]

ah, i already registered last month, to check out Hubzilla in general. (I just forgot my password lol. But I'll figure it out again.)

I know how Markdown works.

I just... am not the person who actually knows what happened on the show or has any documents with information. ;)

I will just try and ask around who is willing to share their lists/posts and then transfer the contents to the wiki.

[p.s.: I have ideas for cross-referencing and stuff! what would be your preferred way of contact? the only chat i have set up is the guardian discord. For slower communication, DW DM is good enough for me.]

[tinny]

I remember this! This is what I would actually love to put into the hubzilla wiki, if you'd be okay with that? (Of course you'd be credited as the source and the wiki pages would link back to your post.)

I'd use it to make episode stubs to be extended later.

There's a couple of us working on this and none of us know what happened on the show or have any info documents. Part of the reason why we wanted to put this together is to try to understand what happens on the show better, and the mythology and "science" behind it. I just add to the pages as I rewatch episodes or scenes.

I am Ally#2902 on Discord (I'm a member of the guardian discord but I have it muted because it's just too active) and I'm also likealeafonthewind@fandom.ink which is a Mastodon account so you can connect with me there through Hubzilla. The others who are involved in this project also have accounts there - phyrry, asya_ana, demitas.

[galaxysoup]

Yeah, absolutely! I've tinkered with the idea of expanding it but never got around to doing it. Use away! :D

[tinny]

Ah, right. I never really clicked with the mastodon. :/
Maybe that'll change when i have stuff to talk about there. :)

I'll contact you once I'm home/awake/ready.

Thank you!
