Not that take specs but they are one of the few scripted cartoons that isn't a story boarded show.

All 22 minute shows are more or less scripted. 11 minutes are mostly storyboarded.

Hey Ted, were you looking for scripts aimed at kids? I thought I remembered us talking about that before...

That's awesom. Good luck!

Good luck!

Good luck Chuck.

me too!

i posted my pilot in works in progress. I can't give you a female perspective because I'm a guy though!

Right on and thanks for the encouragement!

I'd Skype in for a chat...script swap and notes?

That could be something Castor. LA is the correction assumption. Anyone know any bars with a good selection of craft brews?

I'm down. I'm in LA. Beer Belly or Biergarten in Koreatown have a large selection of beers.

Panic Room

Thanks for all the answers! Got a lot of research to do

Dial M for Murder is mostly in just a room or two. Rear Window too, obviously.

Yes.

Technically, one can kickstart a moped or a Ducati. Apt.

Japer...Or...A Vincent Black Shadow.

Glad to hear it was a good flick. He went on a little rant and got over it lol. Just the initial idea of kids fighting and using their imaginations is what he says was his idea. But I know there's no grounds there.

Wait did your cousin actually write out a full-length screenplay or did he just have an idea for one?

He wrote a whole script. I've explained to him that "similar ideas" isn't anything to stand on.

Not sure where all the hate 's coming from. Check it out, it's fun.

Very nice! I always feel like once the outline is done, the rest is cake.

Excellent! Need some of that myself!

Way to go Charlie!

HELL YES!!!

Hahaha - The pie was the least impressive for me as well -- especially the apple! But the coffee, the other pastries and the space are nice.

Is this the new JJ Abrams Sci-Fi pilot or an actual place?

lol. It was just a cool place to hang honesetly. I didn't buy anything. The name (as well as the status) reminded me of the movie Brick.

What are you reading?

Once upon a time scripts and a few episodes of The Middle.

I thought I killed you in Brazil, you son of a donkey. And here you think you can set foot in MY town? On the count of three, draw! ;-)

HIYA!

Ignore the source, here's my pitch:

10 people get picked to be on a reality show sent to Mars. It's shot like Blair Witch/Apollo 18, it's a lot like Halloween: Resurrection with a touch of Dead Space the game. Oh and somehow Bioshock is in there.

And on the way, people start disappearing and going insane....so maybe it's a lot more like And Then There Were None.....F who wouldn't buy that?!

The twist is they're in a hollywood studio and no where near mars.

work craigslist. Everyone I know eventually finds their place (apartment or house) here.

Found my first place on Beachwood in the 068! Yeah, work Craigslist... work it

i had both padmapper and westside rentals because a friend let me use their account. Padmapper/craiglist is just fine.

Not gonna lie... I love our community!

Agree. There are some fantastic people on here.

Agreed. This is easily my favorite community on the internet, you guys are wonderful.

Been 6 months for me. Moved, had comp issues, new job, no software, etc. Luckily my bro picked up the slack. And I've been outlining and doing story notes like mad. But, FD is on sale at Writers Store, so my drought will end this weekend! Can't wait!

Give yourself some forced, mental encouragement so that you are certain of yourself, CB.

When I get "stuck" I just write a scene of something completely unrelated to whatever it is I'm working on -- like a James Bond intro or maybe Michelle Yeoh kicking some ass... whatever forces creativity.. and then I transition into project at hand. Maybe I still end up with crap but you know you sometimes gotta get it all out before the gems emerge. Write on!

just posted Pandora

Thanks Cole! I had already read this one actually. One thing I remembered immediately was how sparse the descriptions of the minor characters and how they were all unique. I'll read it again for sure. Thanks for the post!

Fiction, I'm downloading it now.

it seems war of the worms is gone...

I don't think anyone ever hated on flashbacks, its just that you see them done terribly and pointlessly a lot. Same with opening a script with a flash forward. If it serves no purpose, axe it.

I don't like them as a general rule and almost never use them. They are easy to make funny, imo, but they take me out of the story.

The constant flashbacks on the Following are gradually making that show unwatchable

Thanks Josh! Joblings, dude if it was those people no effing way. Off to the top of my head, one alumni did That Evening Sun and another group of alumni did the kid and grandma dorito commerical as well as the guys in the dresses one this year.

Sounds great. Congrats!

Congrats, Charlie B!

Thanks for all the thoughts and responses everyone. At this point, it definitely was a hardware fail. I do some computer work on the side so I actually took the sucker apart myself. One of the components had actually SCRATCHED the disc where memory is stored. So unfortunately I lost a lot, but the good news is that i had been emailing myself to read drafts whilst at work. So I didn't lose as much as i thought i did, but I still lost a lot. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Big fan of Dropbox. Change your FD or Screenwriter default save folder to Dropbox and all will be well.

Dropbox is definitely a good option. I also use Carbonite, 40 bucks a year, and it uploads everything invisibily in the background. That's my last ditch defense against hard drive failures or loss of the computer.

How about giving each character their own unique way of speaking. I wish I was better at it and the vast majority of amateur scripts have the characters all speaking the same way.

Good idea!

Had it the day after Christmas, thought I was gonna die.Man, and the dreams I was having.scary stuff.

Don't have it. Don't believe in being sick... well, physically, anyway.

I think I caught it replying to some of these threads.

I remember really enjoying that film. I also remember when they filmed it here

Yes to most of what was said. You're the best diet green tea, i swear I'll send you a case of lipton one day.

They said they weren't ready for a serious movie and they wanted to laugh and that movies that bum you out don't have a purpose.

A Simple Plan is fucking fantastic and anyone who hates it must be intellectually challenged. (Yea, I said it. What? What now? WHAAAAAT?!?! )
