Welcome to watch Mojo, and today we'll be taking a look at how a fictional universe is created.

If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out the full song at the link below.

For this video.

We're looking at the entire process of building a world from scratch from the author, taking notes to the costume department of a movie adaptation that's talking they really treat.

The quintessential example of world building is J.

R.

R.

Tolkien's middle Earth, where the Lord of the Rings takes place.

But you could make a case for earlier works being made up.

Fictional universe is of their own.

Mythology is like the Greeks and Romans developed could arguably be considered a shared world, as could the England that King Arthur reigned over that romantic fodder of so many poems and stories from across Europe.

But a fictional universe is the brainchild of a singular person, certainly does date back to told Keene, and has only become more proliferate in the last century.

As faras creating one goes, Tolkien literally wrote the book, and he left very large shoes to fill.

A good fictional universe has to have good lore, but this doesn't mean it's necessary to spend years beforehand coming up with history's side characters ruled and maps.

I can't carry it for you, but I can't carry you.

It's possible to come up with a rich universe after already developing the bones of the story you want to tell.

And often you can tell that new layers are being added to a big franchise the longer they go on.

The original Star Wars trilogy wasn't created with full exact outlines for the prequel and sequel trilogies in mind.

But it's not the lack of seventies foresight that makes those movies good or bad.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

These aren't the droids we're looking for.

You can go about his business.

You can go about your business.

Similarly, the sprawling world of the emcee you was not planned out in its entirety in a room by Kevin Baggy in the days leading up to Iron Man.

What's going on, Tony, You can't afford to be.

When I was naive before, when they said, Here's the line, we don't cross it.

This is how we do business.

Nobody knew exactly what would happen.

An endgame.

When the M.

C.

U was set into motion, he did exactly what he said he was gonna do.

Santos wiped out 50% of all living creatures.

That being said, creating a rich mythology should still be part of the process.

And it's the world's themselves that make franchises like Harry Potter, Star Wars or Star Trek so beloved expect.

One of the things told Keene is most famous for and which often sets a good fictional world apart from a great one, is the creation of fictional languages.

Since childhood, I have been fascinated with language obsessed with it.

I've invented my own full, complete languages look.

He studied English literature and language at Oxford University, eventually becoming a professor of Anglo Saxon literature.

And he put this knowledge of linguistics toe work when he came up with Elvish talking German.

I think so, from the Anglo Saxon bounds.

But Elvish and its many dialect isn't the most popular fictional language that owner belongs to cling on the most widely spoken fictional language in the world, which, along with high valerian, is available to learn as a course on duo lingo, the first smatterings of cling on were first sparked into being by James doing a D Day veteran known better as Star Trek's captain Montgomery Scott and better known as Scotty.

Any man haven't managed such a feat wouldn't dare disappoint.

However.

The germs of what doing began were flushed out, organized and developed by Mark Okra and a linguist hired to work on the third Star Trek film, which was the franchise is first a big screen cling on heavy adventure.

Jump it, That bitch.

Oakland has said that the best way to make the Klingon language sound like real language was to make it one.

People even have wedding ceremonies and cling on.

Howard, Bernadette, Dr Dodge More But you don't.

But you don't need to learn another language to understand why people love Lord of the Rings or Star Trek away from the minds of writers like Tolkien, Martin and Lucas.

Universes are made whole when they reach the silver screen, and a lot more people are involved in making them shine.

While Peter Jackson was certainly able to make the Lord of the Rings trilogy the way he wanted, there were hundreds more people working behind the scenes.

Multiple people worked on The Screenplay and Fellowship of the Ring, spent three years in preproduction before filming began, during which dozens of people worked on concept, art, costume design, set design and the creation of props.

You spend that time refining the work and making it as good as you can make it.

All of those people are integral to the process, not to mention the actors who brought the novel's characters to life.

And while Star Wars is often held on a world building pedestal and an example of George Lucas's unobstructed creative vision theory journal Trilogy also had multiple screenwriters in addition to Lucas.

When I Left You, I was, but I know I know.

He did provide the story he didn't direct Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi because the workload of both writing and director was too much.

So while we may think of fictional universe is being the property of a single creator, this is rarely the case as the more popular piece of media gets, the more people are involved in bringing it to life, and they all deserve recognition.

Fulfill your destiny, your father's Please, my But just because something isn't the product of one person's creative vision doesn't make it any less valid.

The emcee You isn't bad because it isn't the work of one single writer director.

In fact, that's rare even through its comic book source material.

Innumerable writers have also done wonders for the Catholic mythos that all the tropes and themes of the mythos were created by H.

P.

Lovecraft.

Even during Lovecraft's lifetime, he encouraged his writer friends toe liberally, use his creations if they wanted and a lot of them did.

Lovecraft's bigotry has left an unpleasant legacy, but today divers and marginalized writers latch onto the Kofu Lou mythos and keep it alive and thriving far more than Lovecraft ever did.

Only 12 of his short stories are actually counted in the official mythos.

This is your rightful place.

Everything is yours.

Old world is dying and we're giving birth to the new look.

While a fictional universe can be vast and exciting, if only one person has worked on it, it takes an army to realize the depth and scope of middle Earth, the wizarding world, westeros and that galaxy far, far away.

And that's how a fictional universe is created.

I'm going.
