That's cool because I did get a great amount of support from others on it and know that it is a viable feature script all on its own.
I think that the best result that could have come out of this exercise.
I also think that the fact it it is now developed by you yourself also gives it the best chance to having a sucessful conclusion.
Not really, more of a light wistful sigh. I entered into this thread without any real interest in either writing the script or being involved in the production. What I hoped was that by developing ideas together we could share our experience of the script development process, and by doing that we'd all be better equiped to build our own projects.
I think, all in all, that has been a partical sucess, in that Lilith has really got to grips with her project.
However, I do think it's been a lost opportunity.
What I would have liked to have seen was a staged and managed development process
Stage One -- Brainstorm general concepts
Stage Two -- Producer selects idea for development.
Stage Three -- Discussion and building of character profiles
Stage Four -- Construction of a beat sheet -- based around twelve to fifteen sequences
Stage Five -- An open contest where individual members submitted scripts based on the character profiles and beat sheets.
To develop a twenty minute film collectively going through these stages could have easily been achieved in about three weeks.
Basically we'd be going through scripts now and choosing the best one for production.
Like I said -- this really has been a missed opportunity.
