when screenwriting is your style of writing, very few people want to read it... because screenplays aren't really meant for reading... as you know.
omg 😂 SO true. its kind of WEIRD, rlly......
theres nothing like it. writing is so abstract to begin with, and no one reads screenplays, and even when ppl DO read your screenplay, like say some assistant looking at my spec pilot, THEY DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE DEATILS, cuz its prolly gonna change in production anyway
it took me a loooong time to accept that grim fact 😂 as opposed to a film or a painting or anything else that you might produce creatively, a pilot and story bible are like an elaborate log line — it seriously boils down to key conceptual elements that ppl might key into. ofc there are exceptions, shows that virtually flow from a single writers pen, but boy are they rare
sooo many FAMOUS examples of the former tho, its nuts — beetlejuice was not a comedy, it was way darker. good will hunting was abt a guy getting recruited by the cia or something... u kno??
ive finally embraced this, and its allowing me to be way less precious with my writing, in a good way. and lord knows that if youre trying to pitch a show, flexibility is in your favor...! so im currently more concerned about the view from 30,000 ft up, and my big brush strokes, as opposed to my [delightfully entertaining] writing cuteness
so its going good lol

@mercer thats frickin awesome!!! go get em!!!!
hows the writing going, in general? definitely helps to dooo it right?? i mean i bet you can feel yourself becoming better and more confident all the time...! its tough bc its a huge investment to write anything, believe me i kno 😂
like i mentioned, im writing a spec show that ive had in the back of my head for awhile, and its going pretty well i must say...!
im currently into this concept of a story circle, im sure youve heard of it, but ive basically started laying out my notes as callouts from a circle, and i rlly like it... its all there at a glance, unlike a long vertical list of stuff, u kno...?
kinda kewl

Anyone heard what codec/bit rate/depth this thing shoots? Knowing Canon it'll be like 6 bit 4:0:0 or something goofy like that. So that and price are the big reveals.
kayleerumors is reporting that 8k is limited to 7-bit

Well well well, life keeps rolling along and now I find myself writing a spec drama series pilot...!
wild, right? whats shocking is that i kinda feel like i know what im doing?? like, if you said to me, years ago, “Just make a story bible to go with your pilot thats really visual with pictures and stuff,” i wouldve had NO idea what you were talking about
so, i wouldve looked up the term ‘story bible’ (/‘show bible’, etc), and i wouldve said to myself
WOW
THIS IS A LOT OF WORK. (😂)
a story bible, for the uninitiated, is simply a document that contains all the ‘big picture‘ ideas for your series (a stand alone feature film would be self contained, not needing elaboration), as well as character and location breakdowns, notes on tone, sfx, cinematography, etc. a cool contemporary example would be the stranger things story bible, originally called montuak—easy to search out that pdf...! check it out maybe if this is all new to you (see good article link at bottom of post)
all this stuff IS a lot of work (lol/smh), but ironically ive discovered that for me as a writer the whole mythology actually comes easier than a tight pilot, the big view of the world and the characters in it, i need that to makes sense of what im writing, and i LOVE how a story bible can be visual and all, as opposed to a teleplay in a strict typewriter like format
anybody here ever attempt anything like this?? any tips???? anything.... any comments are relevant lol. feel free to reply out of pure ignorance, i do that all the time lol
if ~I~ have any tips (i dont), its that youre writing for buyers who need a killer logline. like, if it doesnt sound somehow DIFFERENT, like a SHOW YOU WOULD WATCH, and producible in reality, forget it. as an unproduced outsider non guild member writer, its hard to get anything ‘read’ by the powers that be to begin with. theres a reason that ppl use the phrase ‘break in’ to the business — the front door is not open 😂 they are not taking applications 😂 so, imagine that youre that executive who always has 30 sec to hear a great idea — and if its hot it doesnt matter where it came from. i try to think about projects from there, and then elaborate...
*THIS* is why i need a proper tea regimen 😂 any comments appreciated guize

fwiw ive always loved the idea of one lens to rule them all
wheres my stabilized ff 17-105mm 1.4 ?? 😂 until i learned a lil bit abt how lenses work i was like Why dont they make one of those 🤔😂
anyway, I’m looking forward to the edit and future vloggings from you guys...
as in andrews recent article, maybe “Cup of Tea” could be a gimmick...? like, you guys have tea and complain abt stuff. the longer the better @Andrew Reid @BTM_Pix
what kind of tea do you real english people drink anyway...? dont spare the details; i like earl grey with cream and lots of sugar lol, but im from california what do i know

ohhh, very cool!
yeah, I'd say get the owners story, do some pan and scan on some old photos of him doing his thing, see if u can shoot him actually cutting hair with some customers, and film them as well...! get some regular customers saying how much they like Don the barber, etc...
-
yes! what's the business-- bakery? tax preparation?
regardless, you wanna make it personal, all about the business owner and their personal story, putting smiles on faces, etc etc
So What Will You Do ?
