Make the hinges to attach the earpieces. Apply mineral oil and buff with beeswax. Pop the lenses into the frames."
article: Take apart a pair of cheap sunglasses and use the parts to create a template for your wooden sunglasses. An easy way to do this is to lay each part on a photocopier and make a copy. Alternatively, you can try to trace out the shapes of the parts using pencil and paper. Cut out each part of the sunglasses from your paper template. Also keep the lenses from the cheap sunglasses to use in your new wooden pair. Remove them by pushing them gently out. Each block of wood should be approximately the length of the cheap sunglasses. Don't worry about depth, as you'll need a margin of error. It's quickest to use a scroll saw or some other powered saw for this. However, you can use a coping saw to do it by hand. It will take longer, however. Place the lenses on top of the openings where they should go and trace their shape with a sharp pencil. Use a drum sander attachment in a drill press to sand near, but not over the lines you just traced. You could also probably do this with a rotary tool with a drum sander attached. The reason you are doing this is to leave a groove for the lenses to sit. . With a wood chisel, cut away the excess wood from the back of the frame. Make sure you don't cut too much away. Next, observe the curvature of the original frame, and attempt to copy it on your wooden one. You can use a drum sander attachment on a drill press to do this, or a rotary tool with the appropriate attachment. At this time, you'll also want to sand down the frame and the earpieces until they are smooth. You can do this using a combination of a rotary tool, wood files, and sandpaper. For this, you can cut away the hinges from the cheap sunglasses you've been using. You can also cannibalize the hinges from another pair that no one wants. Cut away little cavities approximately in the shape of your hinges in the frame and earpieces. Then glue the hinges into place. You'll need to use clamps to hold them in place while the glue sets. Leave the clamps on for about an hour. Attach the earpieces to the frame using the screws that came with the hinges. With a piece of cloth, apply a coat of mineral oil to the wooden frame. This is helpful because of the amount of time the frame will be in contact with the skin. Finally, buff the frame with beeswax for a smooth finish. The final step is to snap in the lenses for the last time. Don't force them in, or you might break them. Simply push gently until the lenses pop into position.

Write an article based on this "Secure the advice of an entertainment lawyer. Prepare a rights deal with an option agreement. Set an option period for the deal. Establish the option payments. Include back-end compensation for the author in the agreement. Determine the amount of any royalties you'll pay to the writer for subsequent productions. Include reserved rights in the agreement. Sign the option agreement along with the writer and pay the agreed option price."
article: Entertainment lawyers specialize in the legal aspects of the entertainment industry, including optioning film rights. Since they are so well-versed with the process, they are invaluable to those seeking to purchase the film rights to an established work. This is the preferred method because you don't pay as much up front. The option requires you as the potential buyer to pay the author an amount of money for the option to purchase the film rights. The contract typically lasts for a specific period of time, during which you may try to get everything together to execute the production of the film. Once you are ready to produce the film, you will then exercise your option to purchase film rights. If the option deal doesn't go through, the author may, depending on the agreement, retain the initial payment amount and any renewal amounts received from the buyer and still keep the movie rights with the ability to sell them elsewhere. This time frame can vary and can include extensions on the initial period of time that often require another payment to the author. Often, the option period will last 6-12 months. Extensions may last 3-6 months. You may also ask to renegotiate the option instead of ask for further extensions. You'll have an initial payment, which may be a percentage of the total purchase price, and the amount you'll pay for any extensions included in the agreement. The initial payment may very likely go toward the purchase of the film rights once you take the option to buy them, but extension payments may not. Maximum percentage-based initial payments usually fall within 2.5 to 5 percent of the purchase price. The author may want a small percentage of the proceeds of the film to go to them, should you go through with the purchase and produce the film. This is generally a small percentage of those proceeds and can be negotiated prior to signing the agreement. These productions might include sequels, prequels, or even television series that are based on the original literary work or first film adaption of the work. There are some industry-specific figures for these royalties, including a royalty of 1/3 the purchase price paid for the rights of the original work per remake, etc. Television films and series may have different, yet negotiable royalty shares. You should make clear the rights the author reserves in the option agreement. These may include publication rights, the right to publish sequels, prequels, or other canonical works, or other rights. If the author has particular rights that he or she wants to reserve for him or herself, be sure to include them in the option agreement. You may need a lawyer to assist you in the signing because the agreement will be written using specialized legal verbiage. After signing the agreement, pay the writer the option price.

Write an article based on this "Select the players. Set down rules. Find a suitable location."
article:
The first thing you need to do to play "Hide and Seek" is to recruit players. At least two players are needed to play the game. Naturally, however, the more players you have, the better. If you have players of different ages, take this into consideration. Younger players can fit more places, but they sometimes choose less-than-brilliant places to hide and don't have the longest of attention spans. If you do not set down rules, you will have people running to places that shouldn't be hidden in -- either antiques end up breaking or private places get intruded upon -- or someone gets stuck in a washing machine. And, people may run outside when everybody's inside. Block off rooms like the attic, parents' bedrooms, any room that holds heirlooms, and bedrooms. Or let people hide in those places, just say things like, "All right, you are allowed to hide in my bedroom, just don't mess up the bed and put everything back in its place." Make sure everyone stays safe. You don't want your friends falling out of trees or climbing onto the roof. Make a rule to only hide in places two people could fit or to hide in a place everyone would/can go. We'll talk about game variations in a bit. But for now, set down the ground rules -- who's hiding, who's seeking, where to hide, how long you get to hide, etc. An outdoor location works best, although indoors is fine for rainy days. It will be necessary to set boundaries for hiding or you will have players running off to too many far-off locations. It's not called Run a Mile and Go Seek! If you're playing with your parents around, make sure they know what's going on. They may not want you hiding in the cobwebs of the garage, under the porch, or they may not want to jump in the shower to already find you in it. Try to play in different places every time. If you do it in the same spot (different games, not rounds) then people will remember the good places and search there first.
