I can understand that. Hitting a stride and being on that super productive streak where pages just fly by is a rarity, least for me. Gotta use it on a feature. But maybe the stride will end and you can jump in at the last minute. Not that I'm rooting for that. Think I just jinxed it.
The pages are definitely not flying by, but progress is progress. For the record, I wouldn't rule out jumping in at the last minute, but wouldn't do so at the expense of the other script.
I have an idea too, I just don't know about one thing...
It has a special effect. I don't think it'd cost too much cash. I mean, low budget can mean so many things. In Hollywood, low budget is 25M. In a small film school like UB, low budget might mean something like 750K.
Some might even consider low to be less then 100K. I mean, it takes at least 2K to shoot a movie. When I shot my movie, and that was in 92, I spent over 2K (mostly on script copying and random things like food and stuff, lifeguard etc).

Not much help perhaps, but for comparison the UK's effects heavy "Doctor Who" costs around 1 million pounds (about 1.2 million dollars) PER EPISODE. So it may depend on where you're making it...
I finally got started! And I'm actually kind of linking these characters and this idea; more already than I did for the other OWC I participated in.
Originally, I was thinking of putting a Ross and Rachel type of couple and have them bicker, but I didn't think that would be much fun. I like my idea I have now a lot better.
You can resubmit any script until the deadline.You are right though, everyone should submit the best draft they can write in the amount of time allowed. Makes it easier and more fun for those who read too.
You can revise your script as many times as you wish up until 11:59PM EST on August 12th, however try not to submit until you're absolutely sure you're submitting something you're proud to submit.
I think he doesn't want to see us submit, then resubmit multiple times. In know I've been guilty of that in the past )
The stuck in a taxi thing is what we're writing? Really? Oh man...just got back from WI and I find this?
Not happy...not happy at all! ARGH!!!!
Lasttime I took a cab, we almost ran over a huge monkey, then we stopped at a banana plantation and visited with the driver's girlfriend. We all had some rum at 10am and then we went to the beach. Lots of ideas come out of my story idea factory just from that trip.
Not sure what the issue is - how much different is it than stuck in an elevator?
No different, really. That, in itself, is the issue.
30+ script all set in some sort of taxi/car/whatever. mark my words, when the scripts are posted, you'll see the problem. Reading through these will be very difficult, as they'll all, for the most part, be the same thing.
We'll have a few killer cab drivers, a few killer cab riders, a few whacko out there ones, a few romantic/sex/taxicab confession ones, etc.
Using an exact or limited setting for an OWC does not make for good reads.
But it does make for an easy to produce script and that's the point. I can see a few of these actually getting produced... including my own. Thank you, simplyscripts!
