Thanks Pia, I think there's plenty of writers, with varying degrees of experience, that would be great to interview... I'll keep trying to line them up

Thanks, Anthony:

An interesting read. I am all for more competitors in the software business - should lead to lower prices and better products.

And all should bear in mind: It's ANTHONY'S wonderful and hard work that made that interview (and all the interviews we feature on STS) possible!!  

Thank you AC: you're awesome.

Aw shucks, thanks Janet... I'm blushing again!!!

Dave - agree and Fade In is already pretty good value at the standard price of $50! With the generous discount I'm gonna buy it and use instead of FD for a month or two, see how it handles.

Have the 2015 Page Award winner and this years Nashiville Winner lined up for future interviews too.

Anthony

Just when I caved and finally started using Final Draft...



Also, am I really missing out not listening to Craig Mazin and John August? I tend to find what professional screenwriters have to say discouraging to the point where I wonder if it's even good for me to listen to them.

In any case, good interview, Anthony.

And thanks James.

It's a fine product. You won't regret the purchase, IMO.

I actually picked it up last year and already do not regret the purchase. It only feels like I just caved because I've been writing for over ten years (and 2015 went by fast). Definitely makes writing easier. It's also got a wonderful system for taking notes, which is a dream for a serial note-taker like myself. I used to just stick them in between lines in bold, which made the pages look like all kinds of a mess.

Yep - I always write in split screen. The note cards on the left side and the script on the right. The color codes for the script boxes have been a great tool for me not getting frozen. I use red-yellow- green,

Red - I think it sucks or has a plot point problem - move on and come back later

Yellow - pretty good - needs some clean up - come  back later

Green - love it as is.

Rather than getting stuck for days in any one scene - I just hit the appropriate color and keep moving.

If you want to hear an interview with the Final Draft guys check out the Scriptnotes podcast, episode 129 I think... very funny!

Just a suggestion for Don, Janet, Anthony or whomever:

How about compiling all the interviews in a subcategory in the STS section? That would allow users to find all the interviews in one place.

Thanks Anthony. Just thought it would make newer members aware of them and help current members make sure they don't miss any.
