There are other assets but I'm not able to find such a complete description of them.  I will have to ask at Moviestorm.

It's hard writing a script in one week.

I don't know how you do it.

I once managed a feature in two days, but I can't knock scripts out for these competitions for love or money.

Remember the challenge with the boat, probably years ago now...I've still got an incomplete script from that I intend to finish one day....

Two questions:

1) Having watched a number of machimina videos, it seems to me that camera movement is just as important as onscreen action. If we have specific camera moves in mind, would it frowned upon if we wrote them into the script? I know usually this is a big no-no, but since (if selected) we'd be working with the director and since this is a different kind of production, does that constitute an exceptional case?

2) You say that you should be able to find and include pretty much any prop that characters don't interact with. Can those props be active in any way? For instance (and neither of these examples come from scripts I may or may not be working on), a laptop where words appear on the screen, typed out without anyone touching the keypad...or a grandfather clock with a swinging pendulum...or a washing machine with clothes spinning round inside. You know, that kind of thing.

I know it must be pretty frustrating having to constantly answer all our queries. Much appraciated, Michael!

I think it's helpful to have a deadline imposed on you as it forces your mind to focus and concentrate on the task at hand. I think it's Parkinson's Law that states that a task will swell in perceived importance in relation to the time alloted to it. So basically if you had a whole month to write a script, you would complete it in a month. But if you were told it had to be finished in five days you'd still find a way to get it done in time.

I know I procrastinate too much at times so I find these sorts of challenges useful. I have written one and am giving myself a day to try to get a second one finished. The quality might suffer some but I'll be happy just to get two scripts completed in time.

As for writing a feature in two days, now that's impressive! I can't imagine ever being able to knock out pages at that rate.

So it's been a while since I participated in one of these, but I did write something.  Undecided if I'll submit.  It's kind of a wtf script ha-ha.

Really cool thing with what's going to happen with six of them, though.  Interested to see how this turns out.


Be excellent to each other

Done - just submitted mine. Not sure it's filmable given the list of props and characters, but it definitely fits the theme.

Thanks Don, and the rest, for squeezing another script I didn't know I could write out of me...

1. The usual rules about camera movement apply.

2. Animation of included items is not possible, with the exception of the lap top example you gave above.

But honestly, the point here is to do your best given the information you have.  If I really think the script fits the series and I think the story is solid then I'll find ways to do the things needed or I'll have you write them out before production.

Am I correct in saying we have a bit under five and a half hours left? Or has my shitty maths skills let me down once again?

Good luck to everyone on this one. I started writing one for this but decided not to submit and work on developing more since I have a tendency in making things confusing.
