NZ Book Council - Going West

Colortheeyear Says:

May 10, 2011 - After writing a couple of times to the NZ Book Council, my co-author, Fernanda Rigoni, finally obtained the correct transcript of the video. Thank you unlooney for the effort. Here it is:"By train, from Loomis Station, the track ran straight for several miles, with straggly town on one side. Ah Lap's grocery where you could by Chinese ginger in jars; the Scout Hall, the Anglican Church, the jam factory -- and vineyards and farms on the other.The line began to curve...

May 10, 2011 - Transcript 3waiting for the big match Saturday; then the prison, an English castle, with the quarry where the prisoners broke stones, and Auckland Grammar standing above, its Kublai Khan buildings in the sun and boys in navy-blue kicking footballs high. What happened when a football went into the quarry? Newmarket Tunnel, with men's cigarettes in the dark, and kids making ghost yells, and the smell of sulphur -- and once in there, the big kids said, a Seddon Tech boy rooted his sheila...

May 10, 2011 - Transcript 4...and they both had their pants pulled up and were sitting as though nothing had happened by the time the train came out the other end.At Auckland station the ramps made you run and the echoing big hall threatened you and you felt that you might travel up or down instead of along, by slanting, sliding ways or by the plucking of a Hand, and hear a big final Voice. The dusty straggling walk along to Queen Street ended that."

DavoidWill Says:

Nov 10, 2011 - anydoodles: Andersen M studio did both, so they are similar for a good reason. Pottermore came second. Fantastic job -- this one more creative/expressive by some way.
