Wow!!!!!!!  

Large, overly BLOATED blue boulders...about ready to EXPLODE!!!!!!

Alright.  That's enough, guys.  This is supposed to be a useful thread for INFORMATION.

That is, information about the OWC -- not the status of anyone's cajones, OK?

Quoted from Dreamscale Large, overly BLOATED blue boulders...about ready to EXPLODE!!!!!!

Oh.... That's fucking nasty. Go watch some porn. Hahaha.

~Zack~

OK, agreed...Bert is right...as he usually is.

How's everyone coming along in their scripts?  I haven't started mine yet, but I do have a workable idea...at least IMO.  We'll see.  I hope to start the actual writing tomorrow or Thursday.

There won't be any blue...or any color boulders in my script.  There may be a goat, though...do we have goats available to us?

2/14 - 12/21 - scripts posted without author's names review, critique, comment, guess who wrote what
2/21 - Author's names revealed.


Michael,

Might be a dumb question, but just wanted to clarify that the above rules mean we submit our script with nothing but the title and copyright on it.  Correct?  

Thanks.

Correct.

Sort of...they are not really rules as this is not an official contest.

usually Don adds some fun fake author names to the scripts which he later changes back to the real author's names about a week later.

Yes, please do NOT put your name on the script. Part of the fun is trying to guess who wrote what.  

Yes, Mike...you'll also want to make sure that when you click on the actual PDF, your name isn't there.  You may have to download some extra software that will do that for you.  Mike Shelton helped me before, and since I lost my computer recently, I'll need to find it again.

Mike, if you're there, do you remember how you led me to that?

First of all, that's a really cool 'Concept Reel', Michael. Particularly liked the spooky telephone shot.

Just also like to thank you for undertaking such a large job with the production of 6 shorts. Look forward to the end product and many more than 6 great scripts from this 'OWC'.

This challenge is great, 'cos it could mean produced work at the end of it. At the minute, I'm interviewing for prodcos for writer/producers roles here in Singapore, and almost every one of them seeks a 'Showreel'. Not having one, or next to no production experience, I've had to mock up samples, and am now only able to get my foot in the door by conceptualising TVCs, corp videos, etc to show what I am capable of. This challenge provides a fantastic opportunity to anyone looking to build a showreel up to help remedy such problems.

That's the crux of this challenge, it's such an opportunity to help aid the self-promotion of one's skills going forward. I've seen a lot of talk about people struggling to self-promote and the discussion in the SC, taps into it also. But that's another discussion.

Also, not necessarily pertinent to this challenge, and this suggestion may hint at a 'contest', but I did see a chap logging a new thread with a call to action for scripts his new company could produce, and I wondered if next time round, he/or another prodco that's part of the community could conceptualise a genre/theme and offer production at the end of it. I know it kind of lurks towards a contest, but is essentially just an extension of this current challenge.

Just food for thought.

In terms of a question: Is it easy enough to dress the same character in different outfits?

Look forward to all of the scripts.

Andrew

I'm really looking forward to seeing what great scripts you guys come up with too.

As far as a quick answer to your question is yes.  But only within the same gender.  

You can't dress a man in woman's clothing and vice versa.  So no stories about transsexualism - sorry.  I should make a post over at Moviestorm telling them they are excluding a whole segment of the population.

I would be interested in doing such a thing. As it happens I've already spent a bit of time thinking about the mechanics of how it would work.

I've been spending a lot of time looking at internet marketing and recently met a guy called Scott Kirsner who is something of an expert in that field to put together a plan of action to raise awareness of my company.

I've come up with a concept that I think could be of mutual benefit to a number of us, along the lines we are discussing.

You have to adjust the properties.  Go into the description portion, delete, and save.

Is there a limit as to how many scripts we can enter?  

Generally, it's one script per person during these challenges. As far as I remember it's called the Helio rule.  But I also think it's informal and since a couple of other people seem to be entering two scripts and none of the other moderators or Don have chimed in against it - then I suppose it's ok to enter more than one but I'm going to check with Don about it.
