Can you write a script in one week? Can you write a script on a particular theme or genre in one week? This is the challenge for you. On February 5th, 2010 at 10:00 a theme and genre will be posted on this board. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a 6 to 12 page, properly formatted script on the theme and genre presented.
The Schedule:
2/5 10:00 pm est - theme and genre will be announced 2/12 11:59 pm est - submit your script (you can submit earlier if you wish). 2/14 scripts will be posted without the writer's names on them. 2/21 writers names to be revealed.
The twist this OWC is that one or two scripts will be selected to be turned into a machinima.
What is a machinima? See below to give you an idea of what we are talking about.
Nice idea! I skipped the last one (out of laziness, mostly) so I hope to enter something this time round. Hope, but not promise. I might or might not - we'll see...
Interest in these things has grown amazingly even in the 15-or-so months I've been on the boards, so hopefully we'll have a lot of good, enjoyable entries this time round too.
Not to mention ubiquitous fab four references (always welcomed in my books, I may add. Post "Help" preferably)
I'm thinking the lyrics to "Tomorrow Never Knows" intermingled with a signature Dreamscale death sequence involving a Converse shoe lace, kiwi flavoured gum, a used cue tip (de-chalked) and a single, slightly overdone poached egg.
I'll leave the rest up to ye, I can say no more...
I have considered it a number of times, it is a great challenge but I never get anything down on paper in time for it (see my post on the thread "How much time do you spend to write?) I realised a long time ago that I would be absolutely woeful if required to write something within prescribed deadlines, the thought scares me.
George, I think you guys started it too early...especially now that I know tomorrow is the new OWC!
I still haven't read Armored, and at this point, it doesn't look like I'll be in. Sorry, cause I really actually wanted to see that movie in the theater, and now that I hear that the script was totally compromised, I'm even more curious to read it and get involved in a discussion.
Doesn't look like it will be happening though. Sorry, all!
