Quoted from dogglebe I would wait until people read your script before resubmitting it.  Yeah, they'll point out the typos and stuff, but they'll also point out other things that you don't see that may need correcting.  In this case, you may end up resubmitting a third time. Phil

Well, actually I went back because I wanted to take out a line of speak which I was having second thoughts about. It was then I spotted the error. I say if I'm there and I see an error? I should correct it there while I'm there. Sure, some feedback may address other issues- but it's before deadline AND it saves the reader the trouble of seeing the error- and writing up a whole essay on the damn mistake.

I never realised we could do this to our posts.
It is so cool.

Why does everyone just stick to boring black text?

Ray, you might have just saved this message board from stunning mediocrity.

Make sure you carry this trend over to your title pages and even some of the actual script.

Enjoy!

LOL!
What can I say. I like to play with my toys until I break 'em.

Next thing you know we'll be seeing






Aren't I?

Quoted from Ryan1 Ray, just put the guy in a damn wheelchair.

And if that's how you work with your boss or co-workers - cool.

We all have varying professional standards for whatever reasons.

I find it much simpler just to take a few minutes for a brief conversation about simple things before people spend hours working under incorrect assumptions, such as the person in the wheelchair really needs to be in the wheelchair or can I put him in a bathtub as well or on the sofa or have him play another part because really he's an actor.

Does the producer or director want to explore what a wheelchaired actor can do or are they making something that appeals to a wheelchaired audience?

When people are on the set, spending gobs of money for a professional production or a few peeps playing with their visdeo/audio/editing equipment, it's quite relevant, thus the story can be fabricated accordingly.

Tis no big whoop.

(I'm gonna dress up my male as a female so that I can have two hot chicks messing with the wheelie! I'm using my actors- "Any way I see fit"!)

That is TOO COOL!

Welp, mines done. Very skeptical with this one. Since you guys are doing some quick peeks, wondered if anyone else would exchange. I've left almost the whole tenth page blank and I'm sure there's a scene that could use a bit more development if not two. PM if interested, will go up regardless. James

Nothing to do with professional standards, I just think you're overanalyzing this OWC to a ridiculous degree.  You're not writing for Stephen Hawking or Johnny Depp, just a character in a wheelchair.

I wouldn't be all too certain about that.

While I agree that a lot of people are overanalyzing this, I disagree with your comments regarding Hawking and Depp.  We should never say we're only writing only for the riff-raff on these boards.

I wrote my script so it could be produced by a film student; simple and low budget.  While I'll probably have to do a rewrite on it, I will shop this around.  There's no reason why everyone else shouldn't do the same.

I agree.  I definitely wrote mine with production in mind.  I'm very happy with what I could come up within 10 pages time and, although I need a rewrite and to add back in some scenes, this is a complete project.  One I took pretty serious.  I don't see Depp clamouring to play my lead, Dylan, but he's too old anyways.  Regardless if he looks it or not     

If Stephen Hawking reads my script I will poop my pants. Personally I have only written mine as nothing more than an exercise to show the world what a huge talent I am. I am not expecting an agent to call based on this script, but will be surprised if they don't. The world needs my screenplays more than it needs another Transformers Movie and I expect this is my calling card to fame. No other motive here, I am not trying to punch above my weight or anything. I am just writing for myself...and to get a Ferrari and have a coke problem.

there's still 14 hours left... I might try tomorrow while at work since I can't do much else there other than read.

Well, I would never say I was only writing for the "riff-raff" on these boards, whatever that means.  I'm just surprised how some people have taken such a simple, straightforward writing assignment and thrown it under a microscope.

Exactly.  I write my shorts for the same reason, for low budget production by a film student or independent producer.  Which is why when I saw the names being dropped and the questions being asked about what specific audiences we were writing for, it just seemed a bit much.
