Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Sydney was ready to start filming when Professor Leroy explained the next steps. Thank goodness she didn't have the camera rolling yet! Not that she didn't thoroughly enjoy this lesson, but she didn't want background noise to mess up her short film. She stopped what she was doing, listening with rapt attention. For the record, she agreed 100% that color conversion was completely unnecessary. Most films, especially the older ones, looked better in black and white anyway.
Come to think of it, she wasn't sure she wanted to use color conversion on her film at all, but she supposed there was no harm in at least trying the spell. Maybe it wouldn't make much difference since her drawings already were black and white prior to filming, and if it did, hopefully she'd be allowed to use the other spell to convert it back to black and white.
She wrote down the spell information and resumed her work, carefully framing each shot so as not to accidentally film the table or her arm moving the drawings. It was a painstaking process setting up each shot, but she finally got her short filmed. Now all that was left to do was convert it, but first she decided to practice the incantation a bit. ”Co-loh-VA-ree-ah Po-lee-crow-mat-is,” she said quietly under her breath. ”Colorvaria Polychromatis, Colorvaria Polychromatis…”
When she felt confident with the incantation, Sydney carefully removed her film reel and placed it in the tank up front. ”Colorvaria Polychromatis,” she cast, pointing her wand at the reel in the tank. The liquid bubbled up but didn't spill over like it did when Professor Leroy cast the spell. Did that mean she did it wrong?
