Professors Go Primal: A public lecture by the creators of the languages for Far Cry: Primal

Date:
-
Location:
Whitehall CB Rm 114
Speaker(s) / Presenter(s):
Andrew Byrd, Brenna Byrd

This Wednesday, Andrew and Brenna Byrd will explain in detail their incredible journey back in time with Ubisoft's game "Far Cry: Primal." They will describe the process of creating two entire languages based off of Indo-European, how they trained the actors and worked with the directors and writers off and on set, and what they hope this exposure means for the field of historical linguistics. Additionally, there will be a short lesson in Wenja (the main language of the game), a scene reenactment with two talented theater students to show the filming process, and two copies of the game to raffle off to attendees.
