We should start a Goosbumps type thing..... Call it Duck-zits or something.

I think it could be gold.

All jokes aside, I would love to be a part of some on going " Tales from the Crypt" "Creepshow" kinda thing.

I'm ready.

Quoted from Grandma Bear My kids read the goose bump books... All I'm saying is that if this is going to be TV clean I won't take part. My favorite script of mine is when I went "balls out" and didn't care what people thought. Now I try to fit in with what people want and I hate it!

Pia, you know you are always welcome to go balls out whenever you want and I would never complain.  

Soulshadows isn't a kids show and will never be one.   I don't have an objection to someone starting a kids show if they want.  Any practice is good practice.  

Yeah, I'd be up for a third series.

Regarding the narration, I think maybe a character that is in each episode could be an idea? Instead of an object it's actually this guy (or girl) that affects things. The bookends could just be voice overs. They could even take on different 'human' forms in order to attract or trick the protagonist so the writers would have room to play around with them.

Quoted from Grandma Bear so, what's next? and how is writing 3D any different than any other script?

I thought that was interesting.

I suppose it's about creating 3D moments...you need to invest the scripts with moments that are geared towards 3D..whether that's certain elements protruding from the screen (eg the pick-axe going through the eyeball in Bloody Valentine) or by creating set-scenes that really work 3D on a more interesting level.

Tron Legacy was shot in 2D in the "real" world...then jumped into glorious 3D in the computer world. That kind of thing would be in the script as well...the flat, lifeless normality juxtaposed with the vibrant alternative reality.

Quoted from Grandma Bear and how is writing 3D any different than any other script?

It's not that different from writing any other script but you do have to be considerate of opportunities where 3D could be utilized in an effective way. I think the way I tend to write scripts, there might be a handful of moments that could make for good 3D in a given script of mine but not necessarily enough to make producing it in 3D worth it. That said, I've written a script specifically for 3D and tried to work in a lot of moments where the visuals could really jump out at you.

You can see the difference in the movies. Some movies are made for 3D. Others get the 3D treatment at the last minute. Which ones do you think are better?

And for the record, if the new SoulShadows is officially happening, I'll totally write a script for it.

While I really think the major contribution for 3d films comes from the director I think as a writer there are some things we could do to assist.

Like James says we can provide 3d moments.  But we also should avoid moments that imply fast cutting because this ruins the 3d experience.  Montages, series of shots, and intercutting should all be kept to a minimum.    

I'd love to be involved with another season of Soul Shadows!

I think a new host would be great as well, but I'm not too keen on the 3D thing.  IMO, it's pretty much a waste, as first of all, these things aren't being produced, aren't of the quality to shop (as a package deal), and TV shows aren't being filmed in 3D anyway.  I can see a bunch of blatant attempts to incorporate cool 3D scenes that would most likely come off incredibly cheesy.

I think we should first take ideas on a new host...as in 1 writer who will take over Bert's impossible to take over role, as well as an actual character.  Maybe whoever is interested can put together a little character study with some ideas, including settings, etc.  Then, we vote and see which we like the best.  At the end of the season, the narrator gets to tell his/her story, like Bert did with Tanis.

The 3D thing isn't just about cheesy scenes.  It's about writing with a slightly different type of production in mind.   I think it's a good exercise.  It shouldn't be a huge change to the way anyone writes it but it will give them something to think about when they do.   And it will give us something interesting to comment on when we do read them.

Bumping this so it doesn't just disappear from the portal and everyone's attention. Clearly there are enough people who want to write an episode to put together a new season...who's up for narrating? Granted, bert and Tanis' shoes are pretty big ones to fill.

No one replied to my post or ideas.

Any ideas out there?

Quoted from mcornetto More like Dr. Who with a new Doctor.  It will definitely work.

Or like Rosanne with a new Becky.  Or like Bewitched with a new Darren.

Quoted from stebrown Regarding the narration, I think maybe a character that is in each episode could be an idea? Instead of an object it's actually this guy (or girl) that affects things.

I guess there were some replies...sorry.

That's not a bad idea at all, Ste.  Actually, I like it, but I do feel it would also pose problems for many of the writers in keeping with whoever/whatever/however that character is portrayed from the get go.

But, as you also mentioned, this character could take on different forms and the like, which would do away with trying to write the same characteristics in each episode...but then again, if this central character takes different forms, what makes it a central character?

Not sure, good idea though.  Sorry I missed it.

I would offer my christian character up but I think people didn't like him before so i do not know who.
