How long does it truely take to complete a screenplay?
Could be. It all depends on the size, the genre and how many rewrites. Also, if you need to do extensive research, you also need to take that in account. For me a first draft of a short usually takes...
Expand commentCould be. It all depends on the size, the genre and how many rewrites. Also, if you need to do extensive research, you also need to take that in account. For me a first draft of a short usually takes a week and that's about 15 pages. But if you want to be really good, then take all the time you need.
The reason it takes so long for people to write something is that most people don't have a story. Wait, what!? This is how it happens: they start writing and figuring out things as they write it. Then...
Expand commentThe reason it takes so long for people to write something is that most people don't have a story. Wait, what!? This is how it happens: they start writing and figuring out things as they write it. Then you meander into never-never land going in circles - it's called "stuck in the Second Act" (Syndrome). Why? Because you don't know how to end it! So this is what you need to do before you pick up your pencil, or start pounding on the keyboard - know exactly "how will the story end". Then work backwards, you'll whip out stories/scripts in weeks. As a corollary, if the ending is mediocre or just run of the mill ho-hum, don't write it - change the ending until it's great, then write it. My opinion only, of course; and YMMV :)
If you have a story and know the characters it will take you two weeks. I just wrote my 65 page TV pilot in eight days. I wrote my first feature film 99 pages in two weeks.

Just finished producing 5 projects in Mexico. I must say: Speaking Fluent Spanish Helps A Lot! As one of the projects, we filmed a safety video and company overview for an electric plant. This was new to me and exciting.

Expand postHello Mr. Virgo. On my web site “ aclepd.com “, I have posted a lot of free stuff including my book Mental Essence - “ http://www.aclepd.com/metal-essence “ - which I am trying to get on TV and the Big Screen. We are looking for someone who has been there and done that? I do have the money for a trailer type promo, but then what? We are also designing a building that artists and stem cell researchers can use for free. Thus far it will probably be a total of 100,000 square feet in three segments. One segment will have a 22 foot ceiling for booms and green screen. Before we begin construction here in Utah, “ some time in the spring of 2014 “, we would like input from as many people as possible as to size and shape. ie. what works the best. The cost for the building will be roughly $3,500,000. We are setting aside another $250,000 for equipment and supplies. I am also donating the proceeds from my paintings, writings, and other creations to the project. “ http://www.aclepd.com/art_and_science “. If you would like to participate, feel free to give us a call. We are usually working 24 /7. Thank you, Robert Evan Howard aclepd.com aclepd@aclepd.com 1-801-856-3200 / U.S.A.
