I attended a great class today about building a complete story world in order to market your script to its fullest potential from the very first pitch.
I recorded most of the class so I'll go through it later and post the relevant gems for everyone here.
This was a great weekend that totally stoked my fire to write and write until my fingers bleed. Well maybe not that much, but close. I can't thank you enough.
I attended 5 classes this weekend and I didn't pitch at all since I didn't have a script ready to pitch, and some of the wisdom I got in one of the classes steered me in the direction of not pitching until I had some thing ready.
The classes I attended were:
SUPER STORIES STUDIO WORKSHOP- Talks about Transmedia (The various methods and mediums to disperse your story into the marketplace)
ROCKET FUEL FOR YOUR CREATIVE CAREER - Talks about killing your inner critic and methods of finding material that is near and dear to your heart to write about.
VIRTUAL REALITY STORYTELLING - Talks about some VR stuff.
WORDS OF FILMMAKING WISDOM - Imagine all the discussions we have on here about how things are really done. These guys had the answers. Probably the best class of the weekend.
THE ANTAGONISTS JOURNEY - Danny ended up reading his handout most of the time and never really got into the meat of the subject like I had hoped for. There were some good tidbits of knowledge, and he knows what he's talking about, but I had hoped for more.
Most of the classes were 90 minutes long, which will take...well...90 minutes to re-listen to, so if anyone has a preference on which one you'd like to hear about first, just let me know.
I'd be curious about the VR writing class. I've had a few producers ask me lately if I could write them VR scripts. I have absolutely no idea how to do that or how they are different to regular scripts.
