Some words of wisdom told me that this could have a religious interpretation today, and that was not intended when I came up with the theme.

Please disregard any religious and/or political references this paragraph might have!
"The Elements" can be widely interpreted.

What do you mean "Once upon a time"? The world IS made up of those four elements. The hundred plus
rest of them are bogus. Let simplicity rule!

:) Simple is often the best.

Simple, huh? Well, in theory finishing this round should be elementary… Thanks, Trond!

I think the element in this round will be "pleasant surprise" when we all sit down in the new year to watch the many interpretations of the theme. I for one have already churned over several ideas and already my mind has wandered off in various directions. Thanks Trond for another great theme

Mick.

Interesting theme , surely one which may bring about colours from all the parts.

Mick,
As of now I have not been able to think of one idea:)

The thing I liked about the theme is that it leaves so much of room for individual interpretation , making it perspective driven challenge ,so we will get different perspectives from all parts of the world .

All the best to everyone

Best regards

I might have thought of of a lot of ideas, writing a story and filming to fit well !!!! Vishala, few years ago I spent a very magical time in Bandhavgarh, here is a clip from then The Tigers Of Bandhavgarh, India. on Vimeo I'm sure your part of the world will give you plenty of inspiration.

This theme is open to a wide and varied interpretation.
As in: a key element to a good film is _____________.

Hi Trond

Just a quick question: Are you limiting us to those four elements or do other elements, like the elements found in the periodic table, also come ito it?

Actually - thinking about it - that was probably a silly question because the elements in the periodic table are found within those four elements. Anyway just checking because one idea I have includes some of those elements.

No silly questions! (But answers might be)

The idea was to have at least one of the 4 elements included... in one way or another.
The imagination is the limit.

Thanks Trond.
