Escapade intro vid translations

[tzikeh]

I had a few people come up to me at Escapade and ask for the Elvish for "turn off your cell phones" - so here is the full Elvish (Sindarin, not Quenya) from the intro vid (with huge thanks to loreleif):

"I 'lamhoth prestar aen" = "Fandom is changing"
lit. "the speechcrowd is changing", also "the noisy orcs are changing", which I find particularly apt

"Han mathon nan mereth" = "I feel it at the con"
lit. "I feel it at the festival"

"Han mathon erin haegovadel" = "I feel it on the 'net"
lit. "I feel it on the remote meeting"

"Luithio lin palanlamath" = "turn off your cell phones"
lit. "Quench your far-voices"

And yes, the intro vid will be on the con tape.

You are just too cool for words.

They said at the con that there wouldn't be a con tape this year; can you confirm or deny?

At the last minute, a hero stepped in and saved us.

There will be a con tape. Hallelujah, Amen.

Ahahahaha! So true. *g* That intro vid was a total highlight of the vid show--fabulous work!

Also, con tape: yay!

Oh dear god. ::falls over laughing:: I can't wait to see this. I hope Rache remembered to sign me up for a con tape; must ask her...

You know, I don't even know if orders were taken. Not sure how that's happening. As soon as I find out, I'll post in my lj (as I'm sure others will too).

You were missed! ::waves::

I don't think they were. By the time the decision was made, the dealer's room was already closed.

And yes, the intro vid was totally hysterical. You outdo yourself each time!

Yeah - makes sense. They'll probably announce on the lists.

Aww. Thanks! And you? Need ICONS. Talk to me, baby.

[melina123.livejournal.com]

Yes, need icons. Must have icons! I have no tiny pictures!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Tell me what you want, honey. I will find you the tiny pictures of your choice.

Hrm let me think... Duncan? Methos? Duncan AND Methos?
Aragorn would be okay too. Hrm... "Aragorn" and "okay" in the same sentence, that's just wrong.

Thank you hon!

Lookit lookit lookit! You have Duncan and Methos!
