Errors/Mistakes

I write scripts for animation too, and what I find very usefull is reading mute scripts, like Wall-e. Speaking of it, I found a page with tns of scripts, here is the link for the Wall-e Script.

This is A Tight Question

I recently got feedback from two (unrelated) people about my first ever screenplay and what they both had in common was that they suggested me to "tighten" my screenplay more.

I do reckon the fact that my screenplay has some loose ends and some loop holes but still, can any of you advice me on better tightening a a screenplay? Thanks a Lot :)

Adite Banerjie

One advice that I was given and works for me when I'm revising and rewriting: cut out any scene that doesn't move the story forward. Good luck.

Vanshdeep Singh

Thanks Adite :)

Just to add to the variables of this meaning, it could also mean that you are stating the obvious, such as: using too many parentheses, using unnecessary transitions, explaining things in the action l...

Hello fellow creatives

I joined this site many years ago, but, due to life circumstances, I haven't really had the ability to utilize third great resource in the way that I hoped. Hopefully this will finally be my time to learn more and connect with like-minded individuals. I can't make my dreams come true just sitting on...

I actually see that happen all the time, David. You should message Brandi Thomas- she has gotten composing work from all over the world on Stage 32.

Ian Fortey
My Name is Ian and I like pie.

I write internet comedy and the odd screenplay in my spare time. My first feature length script Nic Cage vs Zombies was an official selection at a handful of festivals and even managed second place at Zedfest, and 4th place at Horror Hotel. I write for Cracked.com, spreading mirth and such. It's a good time.

Benjamin Pearce

I read the subject line and thought "troll" and then read that you were a comedian and it made sense.

Tomasz Mieczkowski

I SO wanna see Nic Cage battle Zombies! You had me at a title alone!
