Quoted from stevie


Hear, hear, Murph!  Rugby league, union and cricket are all shit!



Its the Ashes next month Stevie. I am not a cricket fan but always love a good old England vs Australia contest.

You not going then? We got out tickets for the first test in Brisbane, have not decided yet who I am gonna support. I never used to support England in anything when back home of course, but being in Australia makes it fun to support England, even if only pretending. Especially when the English beat 'em.

Can't believe I am looking forward to a cricket match, but can't wait.

I used to really like cricket years ago but the decline in sportsmanship and the appalling drop in standard put me right off the game.

Most of the players now would not get a game in the teams of 20 years ago.

Cricket is a game accidentally invented by a British man who was trying to define the concept of eternity.

Hey, Michael

How about you pullin' Don aside and asking to make a done-up, right and proper radio drama out of one of these OWC horror screenplays?

Couldn't help but think of you when listening to these.

So Roadkill reminded you of me Ray, eh, thanks?


Just kidding.

The problem with doing these scripts would be that they would need to be written as a radio plays rather than a screenplays.  While a screenplay could be adapted it wouldn't be the same as if the author had written it directly for the radio.   And it even might not be appropriate for the media.

No, no, no.
Not the problem.
THAT'S the challenge itself!
It has to be good both visually on screen AND as just audio.

Any wiener can write a 6 - 10 pg visual delight with little dialog or sound.
But can that same wiener write a screenplay that sounds great with no visuals AND it looks good AND it reads good?
That'd be fun.

You're missing the point.  The media is different.  And just like you don't write a stageplay as your screenplay (at least some people don't) or vice versa.  You wouldn't write a screenplay as your radio play.   There are things you can or can't do in both.

If you were going to write a piano concerto you would very likely use as close to the 88 keys as possible.  And while maybe you could play an adaptation of it on the accordion you couldn't play the same piece of music because the accordion doesn't have 88 keys.  And even if you did adapt it, it wouldn't guarantee that it would ever sound as good as it would on the instrument it was written for.

Only the OCT 2009 OWC.
Sounds just like a fella reading the screenplay.
iScripts could've at least used one narrator and at least two other voice actors for the dialog of the characters.

Whattami missing?
Is there something else?

I think what Raw is saying is that he wants a group of fella's to actually "ACT" the script out.  And that's a great idea.  But I don't think it's something that's going to readily happen anytime soon.  

I do, however, think a 10 page OWC like this one would be the ideal place for something like that to occur. Maybe I'm wrong... I dunno.  

Eitherway, I'm a little upset with my script at the moment.  In an attempt to save content I've reformatted into Trottier's format and not the beautiful and clean Cole & Haag format that reads so fast and so clean.  Depending on if I can get content down I want it formatted in C&H badly.  We'll see.  It just looks so much better.  aaaaarg!!

Bingo.
Although "voice" it rather than "act", but yeah. That! Sound effects. Music.

I thought (mistook, it appears) that was the point of the iScripts add-on.

Everyone was tickled pink to have the FEB 2010 "The Dark" OWC turned into machinima, so naturally (Ha!) I (erroneously) figured the iScripts "audio presentation" would've been akin to the "machinima" presentation.

Michael, you're not making those still shots of "The Dark" standing around the fireplace reading the screenplay's aloud, are you?
Probably not (I hope).



However, for the iScripts audio presentation it's just gonna be a dude reading aloud... for the legally blind.
??

Okay.
No big whup.
Mooooovin' right along...
