Huh boy. Another "dynamic duo" series with bland-named characters. It doesn't sound like you gave them personalites, either.

The first thing you have to do to make a series is create the main characters. I see you gave them (average) names already. You have to give them personalities. What adjectives would describe your character? This is important because you need to know how a character would react in a given situation. Next, you need suppourting characters. They're the people that the main characters interact with in the story. When a supporting character appears, he should be there for a reason, something that relates to the story. Using your idea as an example, Larry and Bob could run into a neighbor or a crook who wants the treasure. They could also meet a museum curator who wants the treasure in an exhibit. Suppourting characters are the main thing that moves a series away from mediocrity, all the typical dynamic duos have just the two main characters.

Next, you need to come up with a story idea. You've done that. Now, you need to go into detail about the plot. I'll help you with that part. Just one thing about the exposition: I think the treasure should be in a chest, like a pirate treasure. Well, after Larry finds the treasure, he's going to think he's rich, going out and buying things, dragging the chest with him. Then, people start to take interest in it; buisnesses, a greedy neighbor, a museum (because it's a pirate's treasure), crooks, just to name a few. After a while, people start to chase after Larry and his treasure. Larry ends up going to a appraiser and finds out the treasure is almost worthless.

It's definitly not a cartoon style comedy. It will be a little comical but much more serius than a cartoon. And the charecters do have personalities Bob very adventurous, loves excitment, and some times gets himself into tobble because of it, while Larry on the other hand is a little more catious and less rash. He still some how gets in the middle of Bobs messes. I just named them that because I couldn't think of good names.

Thanks for you advice.   I must not have exlened their personalities as well as I ment to however, because Bob or what every I'll call him dosen't exectly act stupid but is all ways looking for something fun to do. I was thinking of Bob hoping that their going to be rich with the treasure but it turns out they have to hand it over to a museum which was one of your ideas but I just can't piece it together.

Sorry if I seemed rude I just thought you assumed that from what I said. OK, It start by Larry cleaning his attic which is a horrible mess when suddenly he hears the door bell. He opens the front door and it's Bob who askes if he wants to play soccer but he says he can't. They both go up to his attic and Larry ends up finding a metal detector he had no knowledge of. Bob convinces him to try it out and they go to the beach. After no luck they try a cliff like place. Again finding nothing Bob decides to go. Larry tries one last time gets a strong signal starts digging and gets swallowed up in a big hole. Bob comes back because he forgot some thing and finds Larry gone. Bob gets done in the hole and they find a huge treasure. That all I thought of so far.

So... Is that a yes or a no to the scriptwriting offer?

Put me in the credits of your film, what else?

We'll do this via E-mail and PMs, okay?

You don't have to use the script that I'll write exactly as I write it. You can edit it if you want when you get it.

EDIT: Please write your comment before the quoted text. It's easier to see what you're responding to before seeing your response.

You can use my username or my real name, it doesn't matter. Or both. It's your choice.
