Hi creatives, how are you?
Today I want to share with you a tool that you can use to enrich the backstory of your character sheets. They adapt to anything, comics, films, series, novels and video games. Ready?
If you have a drawer full of junk, this is the right time to use it! This...

Cool exercise thanks for the share @Ugo. Objects are merely props yet can show us the inner character or even be a plot driver in a scene.
Ugo Cavallo I love this exercise! I do something similar when I'm creating characters, first I create an empty environment and put my character in it then I write a story about my character that I won...

Debbie Croysdale the funny thing is ...yes! Objects are merely props that can show you how deep your character is! Thank you for the commen, enjoy :)
@PolyDFLint I used to do also the 50 key question, it's a good start, but in my case, I ended up by looking for something that was much more a "inner thing" and possibly much more conflictual than a m...

Ugo Cavallo yeah I go more into the inner structure of the character's mind in my videos. So I have questions about their background, where they fit in society, their social mask/persona and who they...

Last I checked, there was no scriptwriting software for VR. I have a screenwriting background and use Final Draft. How are scripts dealt with in VR/immersive? Thanks for any help
I write my VR scripts like regular scripts, Kimberley Kaiserman, but I label the VR shots and normal shots in my VR scripts. I've attached a page from one of my VR scripts. And I use Final Draft too (...

Thanks Maurice Vaughan - super helpful!
How did you sell your first VR script, or get a foot in the door, if I may ask?
You're welcome, Kimberley Kaiserman. I haven't sold a VR script. Selling a VR script should be like selling any script: building relationships/networking to find the right producer, director, etc. for...

Thanks for the reply, Geoff! "How do scripts load into the main programming platform or coding program." I've been in a plane, WiFi in and out. Im new to this platform and to writing for transmedia -- any help, corrections, alignment, education or opportunities to learn are much appreciated.
Has anyone played or just viewed plays of the new game, Stray Gods? It's a unique, interactive, single-player musical adventure game based on characters from Greek mythology.
I actually found it fun to watch (there are people who post their play-throughs on YouTube ). However, I will admit bias as La...

This is so cool! I haven't played, but I'm definitely interested now!

Hopefully, you've seen one of my previous posts about Xtreme Saga. This is a transmedia project with animation, comics, and novels. I write/co-write the content for all 3 mediums and act as the narrative director for the whole project.

Will definitely be giving this a look-see. My next project is going to be a motion comic-Kind of in the vein of the game Stray Gods that was recently released. It would be good to see how you guys are managing this.
@Terrence I love this, so quirky & unique.
Elaine Haygood I've seen that game, but haven't played it. The art style reminds me of 'The Wolf Among Us' which is phenomenal if you haven't played it.
Terrence Sellers, I haven't played it. There are people doing play-throughs of SG which is how I got to see the game itself. There was also a concert done for the release where Laura Bailey, Ashley Jo...

I share with you the first writing exercises. This is not to be understood as limited to cinema, it can be useful for creating a novel, for the concept of a TV series or for a video game (that's why I wrote this in transmedia).
