Random idea

Film Chess Set.

King: Director (obviously)

Queen: Producer/Production manager (because your not get far without one and they have to know about everything)

Bishop: Camera (because they shoot in straight lines but you can do neat tricks with angles to make them show what you want)

Knight: Sound (because sound guys tend to have to get in at weird angles to get what they need and not effect the action)

Rook/Castle: Lights (because light travels in straight lines)

Pawns: Actors (because they get moved about by the director, they're out in front as the most visible part of a film, and sometimes they decide to take on another role like directing/producing etc.)

I may have thought too hard on this.

I even figured the pawns/actors could be different genres, like action, romance, drama, sci-fi, fantasy etc.

It's a pity I have no idea how to actually make a chess set like this.

Nether do I have the talent to do a series of drawings.

oh, well.
