Quoted from RayW

Your black and white cast ratio doesn't really matter.


12 Years a Slave... just make all the actors white. What does it matter about ratios?


Quoted from RayW

Your specific locations and much of your dialog doesn't matter.


Who else is going to write it? The actors? Through my limited experience I have learned that allowing actors to ad lib too much is not a good idea. There's a reason we're writers and they are actors.

Locations, I'll give you. They can change at will.


Quoted from RayW

(P.S. In filmmaking marketing is more lucrative than content, so get over yourselves little writers. )


Marketing is more lucrative to a point... as the product must still deliver in the end. It's pretty much how pirating works. If you make a great product as an indie filmmaker then it may be an option to release the film to the torrent sites. What you lose in profits you save in marketing costs and gain in reputation, which equals £s later down the line... maybe even a big budget for your next project.

Quoted from Grandma Bear
So for me, and probably everyone else non native English speaking person here, and there are quite a few, those readers that take their time to point those typos and grammar errors out are much appreciated.  


For me too - I always go "thank you" when I see grammar stuff.
Although I do manage to come up with something new in my scripts - not that I don't learn, but I'm a bit more "inventive" in the grammar department than you, Pia. At any rate - pointing at grammar, telling me my mistakes makes me thankful.

And for that reason perhaps, when I point at grammar in someone else's work, I think that I'm being extra nice))

Well, couldn't think of a feature idea for this challenge and since I've vowed not to write another short...I'm out. I'll definitely be reading though. Curious to see what everyone came up with.

I'm done, at least for the time being. I think it turned out better than I thought it would. I'm tempted to change some stuff, but I'll wait for the responses.Now the trick is figure out a logline.

Hang in there, peepers.

Just submitted. I had the bright idea to let it develop in my head all week and bang it out in a couple of hours today.

12 hours later. I've got something readable but I'm far from happy with it. This one stumped me for some reason. Thought it was gonna be easy.

Comas are useful in any script.   

Won't be entering this time, but I look forward to reading some twisted tales.

I'm off for the night because I've got an early morning, so I bid you all adieu. It had better not turn into a free-for-all in here tonight or I'm gonna start kicking some asses. Oh, who am I kidding? Just don't bash each other on a personal level for the next eight or nine hours. Hope you enjoyed part 1 of the OWC. =)
