    How many stages of screenwriting?

    Assuming I am understanding your post here, that you have no aspirations for this project beyond making it yourself. Seeing it all the way through from A to B by your lonesome, just like like Baron Von F and his beloved creature, sans any Igor's foolhardy enough to follow you into the abyss...

    Is my movie screwed before I start!?! PLEASE HELP!

    A couple quick points... False. "Godfather". Next. False. And kind of a scary perspective. Moving on... Yes, in your real life it seems. That aside if you are going to use a mythology/religion, and you want to do the contemporary christianity thing, I'd go Catholic as well. They're the...

    Official Selection - Laughlin International Film Fest

    Tanks main! Yes, this one is basically in my backyard. Indeed. Took me a while to realize that is a full time job in and of itself, but aw well, who needs sleep... or health or relationships right? Appreciated.

    Screenplay Cat Skinning

    Yeah we're getting into the thick of things now for sure. Interpretation, imagination, etc. When I finally allowed myself to break neutrality for a second, I pictured it quite different, even capitalized GASP to drive it home. So picture if you will, unfolding on a movie screen - The audience...

    Thinking on this more, with my additional off-the-cuff-for-fun details for the scene... The sexton GASPS, sits up in the bed. BUT I don't want this to detract too much from the exercise, which is more so: Which I appreciate. Seeing a trend (not only here) leaning towards the staccato comma...

    Just found out we are an Official Selection of LiFF: https://laughlinfilmfestival.squarespace.com/ Super stoked for this one, 5th year running and relatively speaking to our laurels to date, they have a very professionally organized 4 day event scheduled with all the trimmings. Saturday...

    Screenplay Cat Skinning

    Well first let me say nothing here is "to my mind" - but for exploration purposes, sure. Let's say the writers intention was: springing up into a seated position from a coma. I'd say your categorical rewrite could be construed as a bit busy/clunky when we're always going for lean and mean. Let...

    Screenplay Cat Skinning

    Hmm. I believe you may have misunderstood the purpose of this post and the section of the forum it's in. I'll try again. This is just a screenwriting exercise for creatives that are either well beyond this sort of unsolicited blanket statement "industry" advice in their career, or have no...

    Screenplay Cat Skinning

    Oh my. You do realize you are in the "screenwriting" section of the forum, correct? A place where discussion about... ahem... "verbs and stuff" is encouraged. Ironically, the importance of the phrasing of a single line is exactly what this post is about. While there is a certain degree of...

    I'm not sure Adobe Story still has a free version, it may, if so then its online only (no offline) and is also sans all of the reporting, collab and shooting script transposing. I have been with adobe since photoshop 1, let alone premiere 1, so when i accidentally discovered adobe story "plus"...

    They changed everything actually. The free version is now just script writing, as in they took away all reporting, storyboarding, shooting script conversion, etc. Everything beyond script writing that was "free" prior is now pay. It's now in the cloud subscription based, which is fine, but I...

    editing Incorporating Illustrations in Film

    This is just turbulent displace in AE, then brought into Premiere to superimpose. Google "jittery text" - same concepts apply to graphics. You can even find a lot of these already drawn and animated on stock video sites ready to slap right over your footage, if you don't need anything too custom.

    Instead of straight printing it from Celtx, try first saving your screenplay as a PDF, then printing the PDF. Worth a shot.

    Describing weird world with "from now on"

    My first response above addresses what you're asking. The first time you enter EXT. CHICAGO mention the blue. If you ever return to EXT. CHICAGO you don't have to. Same thing applies if you visit EXT. SAN FRAN. First time blue, subsequent no need. (The SAN FRAN set is already built so to speak)...
