Camlann - Teaser Trailer Transcript - 6th November 2023

[Camlann is written and directed by Ella Watts and produced by Amber Devereux at Tin Can Audio, with production management from Ross McFarlane. This transcript was written by Ella Watts.]

A dial tone - it’s a low, warm trilling beep which rings in sets of two, six times, before stopping abruptly.

The voice that follows is feminine and light, with a precise English accent. The character speaks with a sense of formality, and formal warmth - like you might find in a hospital.

RECORDING 1:

Please hold. Your call is very important to us and we will get to it as quickly as we can. The Cataclysm is frightening for everyone. Remember, in times like these we need to stick together more than ever. If you need emergency assistance, please call 999 -

The dial tone returns, ringing three times. The voice that follows is light, masculine, with a Scottish accent.

RECORDING 2:

Your position in the queue is -

The voice that follows is androgynous and light, a different Scottish accent to the one before.

RECORDING 3:

Three-hundred and thirty-three

A long, continuous droning beep as the phone connects, which ends abruptly. 

The voice that follows is feminine and Scottish, specifically Glaswegian. She sounds confident, but somewhat rushed - like an emergency phone operator. She is immediately authoritative and polite.

PHONE OPERATOR:

Hello, you’ve reached the Cataclysm Casualties Hotline. Can I take your name and date of birth?

At this point, a very soft static begins to build in the background. 

The first voice we hear is androgynous, English and precise.

PERRY:

Peredur Green

The second voice is a low, feminine voice with a Welsh accent.

MORGAN:

Morgan Jones

The third voice speaks with a Chinese accent, and is light and feminine.

GWEN:

Shújūn Liu

The fourth voice is low and masculine, with a broad Scottish accent. 

GWAINE:

Gwaine Turner

The fifth voice is light and masculine, with a light Welsh accent.

DAI:

Just call me Dai

The Phone Operator is business-like and professional.

PHONE OPERATOR:

Ok, and who are you calling for today?

The static keeps building softly, getting slowly louder. 

Dai sounds frustrated and anxious, and he speaks quickly.

DAI:

My Mum. Siân Thomas? She was in Aberystwyth.

Gwaine speaks firmly and slowly. He falters when he clarifies Kirkwall, revealing his anxiety.

GWAINE:

Matthew and Louise Turner. In Kirkwall on Orkney. 

Gwen sounds audibly anxious, speaking with urgency and a slightly higher pitch.

GWEN:

My father, Kai Liu.

Morgan says Ben’s name as if around a lump in her throat - she sounds sad, like she already knows something has happened to him.

MORGAN:

Ben. Ben Jones. 

Gwaine sounds comfortably skeptical - as if what he’s referring to cannot possibly be true. 

A new drone builds alongside the softly building static - like a swarm of bees or string instruments being played vibrato. It slowly gets louder and louder, a low pitched sense of intensity and dread.

GWAINE:

I saw something on the news about a sea serpent?

Morgan sounds like she’s going to be sick. She’s deadly serious, firm and clearly seriously worried.

MORGAN:

He’s fifteen years old.

Perry is authoritative and comfortable with the bureaucracy, though they still speak with a sense of urgency.

PERRY:

Anna and Sophie Green, in Portsmouth. 

When Gwen speaks, there’s a sense of dread in her voice.

GWEN:

What’s happening in Kowloon?

Perry sounds incredulous and confused as they ask their question, full of disbelief. 

The droning bee swarm sound gets louder, it’s hard to tell if it’s musical or a sound effect, only that it’s building a sense of dread like a horror film.

PERRY:

Listen, is this real? I’ve been seeing news reports about dragons -

The phone operator sounds guarded and distracted when she answers, clearly avoiding the questions.

PHONE OPERATOR:

Let me look that up for you. Where are you calling from today?

Each of the following answers comes quickly and firmly. Gwen’s stands out.

PERRY:

Bristol

MORGAN:

Bristol

GWAINE:

Bristol

DAI:

Bristol

GWEN:

Leicester

The phone operator sounds sincere and sympathetic in the way that a doctor might when delivering bad news to a patient. 

A new sound effect joins the static and drone - background voices or muffled clanging metal, like the echoes you hear in a swimming pool. It sounds strange and surreal, contradicting the sensible pragmatism of the Phone Operator’s delivery.

PHONE OPERATOR:

I’m so sorry, it looks like we haven’t got anyone listed under that name on the database. This means they have’t been listed as a fatality. Call back tomorrow, and if you haven’t heard anything from us or your loved one in three days, try the online form. 

Very softly, music fades in - synthetic strings playing a warm, hopeful folk music kind of melody. The strings build.

PHONE OPERATOR:

I know this is scary, but it’s ok. We’re going to get through this…

Everything pauses - the sound effects, the music, and the Phone Operator herself. There’s a beat of silence.

PHONE OPERATOR:

…together.

The music resumes, louder than before, as everything else fades away. The tune builds from strings into a melodic keyboard like-tune on a synthetic instrument that sounds like fairy lights. The music is warm and hopeful. 

It dips in volume under the following voiceover - delivered by a light, masculine voice with a Welsh accent, the same actor as Dai. His delivery is confident and formal.

VOICEOVER:

Camlann, a post-apocalyptic audio drama by Ella Watts, inspired by folklore and Arthurian legends. Coming January 2024. Produced by Tin Can Audio. 

The music builds - the synthetic keyboard and strings joined by a synth that sounds almost like an organ, building to a gentle, slow crescendo before dipping back down - each instrument falling away until only the strings are left playing the core melody of the tune, more and more quietly until the music fades and the trailer ends.

“They dared to pass into the bitterest North; and finding no other way they endured at last the terror of the Helcaraxë and the cruel hills of ice. Few of the deeds of the Noldor thereafter surpassed that desperate crossing in hardihood or woe. There Elenwë the wife of Turgon was lost, and many others perished also; and it was with a lessened host that Fingolfin set foot at last upon the Outer Lands.”

-JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of the Flight of the Noldor”

Lyrics:

[Intro: Jessica]

Ha, ha

[Verse 1: Jessica]

Must have been outta my mind

When I'm looking back

I can't help but to find it funny

How your love had me so blind

So, now I'm saying, "Thank God"

Feeling like I dodged a bullet

[Refrain: Jessica]

My queendom never needed a king

My fingers still be covered in rings

We didn't stand the test of time

I could not have saved us even if I tried

[Pre-Chorus: Jessica]

All those lonely nights

You were never by my side

(No, you're not, you never were, no, you're not)

Kept me up all night

With my tears that never dried

Had your one shot, blew it up

[Chorus: Jessica]

Baby, tell me why you lookin' down

Look at me now

See what you lost, I'm so long gone, I'm out

Tell me, where is she now?

She ain't around

So, was she worth the thunderclouds?

Tell me why

You did what I never could

It's goodbye

Get it? Got it? Good

[Verse 2: Amber Liu]

Said you would ride for me

Showin' up to lie to me

Called your bluff, you outta luck

Uh, hold up

Got more, I ain't done

Want you to know that you ain't nothin'

Go back to where you came from

Hold up

[Refrain: Amber Liu]

My queendom never needed a king

My fingers still be covered in rings

We didn't stand the test of time

I could not have saved us even if I tried

[Pre-Chorus: Jessica, Amber Liu]

All those lonely nights

You were never by my side

(No, you're not, you never were, no, you're not)

Kept me up all night

With my tears that never dried

Had your one shot, blew it up

[Chorus: Amber Liu]

Baby, tell me why you lookin' down

Look at me now

See what you lost, I'm so long gone, I'm out

Tell me, where is she now?

She ain't around

So, was she worth the thunderclouds?

Tell me why

You did what I never could

It's goodbye

Get it? Got it? Good

[Bridge: Jessica, with Amber]

Now, you be hatin' yourself

Can't even look at yourself now

Calling your mama for help

She will be tellin' you, "told you so"

I should've left you long ago, oh

[Chorus: Jessica & Amber Liu, Jessica]

Baby, tell me why you lookin' down

Look at me now

See what you lost, I'm so long gone, I'm out

Tell me, where is she now?

She ain't around

So, was she worth the thunderclouds? (Oh)

Tell me why

You did what I never could (Never could, baby)

It's goodbye

Get it? Got it? Good

[Post-Chorus: Jessica & Amber Liu, Jessica]

All those lonely nights, you were never by my side (Woah-oh, ooh, yeah)

Kept me up all night

With my tears that never dried

Get it? Got it? Good

Songwriter:

[Outro: Jessica]

Tell me why you did what I never could

It's goodbye

Get it? Got it? Good

SongFacts:

“Get it?” Got it? Good” by Jessica (제creasing카) featuring Amber Liu is a song that addresses the aftermath of a failed relationship and the empowerment that comes from moving on. The text paints a picture of a person who realizes that their previous partner was not faithful or supportive and who now finds strength in their independence.

The song begins with Jessica reflecting on the past and acknowledging that she was blinded by love. However, she now sees the humor in how her ex-lover's actions led to their breakup. She thanks her for dodging a bullet and emphasizes that her royalty (her life and happiness) never needed a king (her partner).

Jessica and Amber convey a sense of confidence throughout the song. They say they don't need someone who left them and made them feel lonely. They emphasize the fact that their worth does not depend on anyone else. Both artists confidently claim that they would be better off without their former partners and have moved on to better ways.

The chorus serves as a direct message to their exes, asking why they look down and feel regret. Jessica and Amber triumphantly declare that they are no longer affected by the past and turn the question to their ex-lovers' new partners, asking if they are worth the turmoil. The repeated phrase “Got it? Understood? Good” signals her firm stance on moving forward and leaving the past behind.

Amber's rap verse further reinforces the idea that ex-partner's promises and lies no longer hold any value. She confronts them and expresses that they are nothing and should go back to where they came from. The verse reflects the feeling of independence and resilience found in the rest of the song.

In Bridge, Jessica sings about ex-partner's remorse and the inability to face oneself. She suggests that they have reached a point where they regret their actions and seek help from their own mother. This further reinforces the idea that Jessica has moved on and no longer has any desire to help or get involved with her ex.

Overall, “Get it?” Got it? Good” a song that celebrates self-empowerment and independence after a failed relationship. Jessica and Amber assert their worth and emphasize that they don't need anyone who doesn't appreciate or support them. You find strength in leaving a toxic relationship behind and moving on to better things with confidence.

Late, but getting there in the end! Thank you for the tag @dream-thief-forever-amen, you'll forgive me, right? 🙏

NO CHEATING: You’re starring in a movie with the last person saved in your camera roll and the last song you listened to is the title. Who/what is it?

Cinderella's Dead, starring Amber Liu

I don't usually save many celebs to my phone but this pic with the sleeve... omg 😻 plus Amber fucks in general and would absolutely slay in this.

I wanna play a scruffy hacker who helps her escape and then take revenge on some kinda mafia family in a neon-drenched asian capital. We'll smoke blunts in her trailer on set and send inappropriate texts to each other during serious sets just to see if we can get the other to crack. It will be a good time.

Tagging some folks I know will have interesting answers to this one! (but sure just ignore if you aren't feeling it/already did it) : @misspoetree @chanrizard @snug-gyu @hyunpic @saturnskyline @cloudburst-ink @negrowhat @princeofjinhae

[justtextmeoppa]

You Beautiful...

I hung my head low, avoiding the sky, hiding

The nights were endless in my dark heart, yeah yeah

I couldn’t spread my wings in this world

that was like a small birdcage

With struggling movements,

I’ll sing for you, who will come to me some day

So my dreams that spread its wings can shine even more in the blue sky So my coldly shut heart can beat again, I’ll go up in the sky to the stars

[blazinbeautywrites]

Also I do texts for Amber, CL, Jessi and Hyuna so yall can send in requests for them.

[multifandom-disaster]

Jae/BM: Yo, dad?

Eric Nam: Yeah?

Amber: Did you just call Eric "dad"?

Jessi: Did he just respond to it?
