"The First Thing Out of Her Mouth"

I was checking out this service as a possible script 'pre-visualization tool'. For free you can input your lines and basic camera angles to get a quick idea of the flow of your script. For more elaborate sets, change the race of actors and other more advanced options you'll have to fork over some cash. However, for just a quick and dirty pre-vis, it's tough to beat.

Tips on 'Pitching' your script....

Any scriptwriter or producer who's ever 'pitched' a script as an 'Indie' knows 'pitching is a bitch'. Hardest part is crow-barring some time in between a busy media professional's time for them to listen to your pitch.

Character Arc: Growth or no growth?

One of the hard and fast rules of scriptwriting comes in the form of the 'Character Arc.' During the course of the story, the protagonist undergoes a journey of some type which during so allows her/him to change from what they were to 'something else'. Generally it's a spiritual, moral or sometimes a physical transformation from a person of lesser understanding/capability into someone (or something) with a wider scope or greater capacity. Now here's the thing, just as 'Morpheus' said in the…
