Topic: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

I have to admit it, I'm not a professional writer. I do not write very good scripts for my movie. That's why when I start to shoot a stop motion film, I usually don't start with a script stored on my computer. Therefore I would like to assemble a team of people who knows how to write good dialogue.

I have the whole script finished, but I don't feel confident people will like it. So I want the team to give me advise on it.

This is how to sign up, if you dare. Before July 1, reply to this post with a name you want me to put in the credits of the movie (when I'm finished), your email address (example at gmail.com), and if you use Celtx and have an online account. On or after July 1, I will pick two or three people who I want to share the script with. Then I will send an email invitation via Celtx to those people.

If you read the script and find that it's so bad it's not worth helping, you can step down, and I will choose someone else to help, but you will still have reading privileges to read and comment on the script.

If you are not picked to see the script, you will still be in the credits, for no reason mini/wink

Thanks.

Updates:
You do not have to have Celtx to sign up. If you do have it, I can send you a PDF of the script via email.

Okay, It's now July 1, so I'm going to post what I'll do.

I do not have enough people who actually signed up, so I'm posting a PDF of it onto public access. People can view it, and comment on it here. I will email kriz a copy because he offered, but any other help will, uh... help.

I seem to always make revisions to my stuff, and I'm still fixing parts of it right now. I'll post the file once I am done with the latest draft.

If I do not get any people to sign up, I will provide a link where anybody can download a PDF so everybody can give ideas.

I originally did not want to do this, because it would spoil some things.

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

I don't have celtx; I don't understand why everyone has to be on one of the numerous other web sites when good old email always worked fine for me.  If you want a content advisor, I'd still offer my help.

I could send you a PDF of the screenplay over email.

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

You won't be doing any editing to the script. I will only have writing permissions. You just read the script and suggest any changes that might be needed to the dialogue

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

oh, ok i might be able to do that

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

I'd love to help but there is some stuff I need to get setup, which is on hold because I need a new name. I have a decent bit of story writing experience, however, I do not know too much about scripting format. I have used celtx a few times and am fairly familiar with it's interface.

BISCUIT!
My website is in construction!

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Actually what I'm thinking is that I'll send anyone who signs up a PDF of the script via email because I'm not even sure how Celtx screenplay sharing works.

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Celtx is free software that helps you create scripts in the professional way. You don't have to have it now to sign up.

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

I suggest you try it. That is, if your parents allow it. Also there is a wiki book related to screen writing so if you want to learn, go to http://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Movie_Ma … lay_Format

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Oh dear! Okay… yeah, that might or might not be helpful.

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up!

Re: Attack of the Erasers -- IN NEED OF WRITING ADVISORS

Send me a copy of the script, and I will see what I can do. My e-mail address is on my profile.
