What if you don't care about your script being made into one of those little movies? Is it alright to follow the genre and theme without constraint?
~Zack~
It is fairly certain that whatever films are made and distributed over the Machinima network will get at least 5,000 views. Computer Girl V1.3. is currently close to 9,000 views. Some of the videos on this network have over 100,000 views. So call it little if you want but there is a huge potential audience out there to see your work.
We can write what we want as long as its to do with 'the dark'.
If you don't want to write it under the machima constraint, then don't. All that happens then is it won't be picked as one of the six. It will still be read and reviewed the same. If it is a good script, people will say so.
I'm gonna try and do two scripts - one a machima, the other not.
Actually, I don't quite get the theme. Are we suppose to write something that has a dark tone, i.e. not a comedy? The explanation of the theme is kinda abstract.

As I understand it, a dark tone is right. You are to write a short based on this with the tools used to make the anamated story. The tools mentioned eariler are what you have to work with. In other words, this is an exercise that challanges your use of dialog with limited props.
Remember the twilight zone? All great writing, very little props. That is what this challange is about.
I've been searching the Machinama movies for a beach/ocean EXT. Can't seem to find one. Does it exist? The closest thing to nature that I found was a park/forest.
Also, who's gonna produce the winner's movie? Will the screenwriter have any say as to how it gets put together?
I will be producing and directing the selected films. There's no winners as this is a challenge, not a contest.
I intend to work the screenwriters, if they are interested. Mostly I will film what you have or ask you for the changes I need up front. I'm a pretty good guy to work with, ask anyone.
I have also encouraged the other directors at Moviestorm to have a look at the unselected scripts, since they will be written with Moviestorm in mind. So while, your script might not get selected for The Dark, it has a chance of being produced by another director.
I'll do my best to enter...and submit, it a solid script. Plans may see me cruising to CO for some skiing...Could be a last minute sprint to the gate, but I already have what i think is a cool solid script, in line with what is available.
If I can't get it in, please...everybody, understand that it's the female persuasion that is drawing me away this week. You know...kind of like a starving puppy that sees a free meal off in the distance. I'm a very hungry puppy these days.
Best of luck to all who choose to enter! Great theme, great opportunities for all. Bring it, people!!!!
You crack me up! I hope you find your free meal satisfying and stills your hunger.
As far as the writing goes, I know you can do it. I know you can whip something up in a hurry. I've written 2 now...are they good? Don't know...
