Hi Russell... so you're a lawyer, eh? Good to know. It's great to meet other Torontonians on Stage 32. I write screenplays and own Julie's Cuban Restaurant here in T.O. Both keep me pretty busy. Very nice to meet you.

Expand postI have an animation screenplay that won a Nicholl Fellowship a few years ago. Since then, it's been bouncing around the major animation studios. UTA pushed it for a while, as did a number of different producers. The story is somewhat unique and definitely presents a challenge for potential animators. It's called Letter Quest, and it's about the letters inside a children's book. I think at this point, if it's going to get over the top, it needs to be made through whatever indie channels are available for animation and/or it needs to be presented visually, so investors see it can be done. I'd really appreciate any suggestions or ideas. If any animators would be interested in possibly working together to push this story forward, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks! Doug
TYVM!
Hey, Dan, sounds very cool. My twins happen to be turning 8 tomorrow! Best of luck with your project!
Thanks, Dan!
How many pages does it take to write explosions, or a gun battle or Kung Fu fight? Just curious I never write any of that. I have my own ideas about writing and what it takes to create a script or a novel.
It really depends on how important it is to you to keep the page count down on your script - sad as that may seem. My wife works as a Prod. Mgr. and her and the ADs will curse when they see a big bloc...
Expand commentIt really depends on how important it is to you to keep the page count down on your script - sad as that may seem. My wife works as a Prod. Mgr. and her and the ADs will curse when they see a big block of description, describing a complicated action scene that comprises a page or more of screen time. Keep in mind, generally a page is a minute of screen time. If you have one or two sentences like "Bob takes off in a car chase that leads the cops over half of Los Angeles", clearly you're cheating a bit. One thing I keep in mind, but I never hear discussed is, if a page is a minute and the old line count of a page used to be 60, then every line is a second. Something to keep in mind. Having said all that, if you break out a big action scene line by line and now it takes up three pages, a producer is going to tell you to collapse it a bit.
I've got a screenplay that's good and obviously as always needs work. I've got a friend who is also a screenwriter and has had a couple of films actually produced with some decent name stars.

Expand postI've got a screenplay that's good and obviously as always needs work. I've got a friend who is also a screenwriter and has had a couple of films actually produced with some decent name stars. He's read my script and likes it. He also would like to collaborate with me on it to make it better. So of course I'll have a collab agreement. My question is this: I have a specific vision for this film. He probably has a different vision. So before I agree to working with him, how do I deal with reconciling two different visions for the same film?
Hi Annie. Great point. I'm starting to feel that a bit. After not getting a few calls and emails returnedm or if they are with some "running around" excuse I'm wondering about the commitment part. Of course, life does have a habit of often being uncooperative with all. So, we'll see.
I agree with Dan, get paid, get credit, give up your vision if you must. Then write another great script.
And I agree with you. Thanks.
Hello Stage32 Family! I have just created my own composition for the trailer for the movie "The Paperman". Please let me know what you think: http://youtu.be/y6fTpGgNmwU I appreciate all of your time and thank you!

Expand commentThank you to everyone for the feedback. With the trailers that I re-scored my goal was just to have an exercise with writing to picture... finding the tempo and creating a fluid work that matches the ebb and flow of the edit and scenes was my intention for this. I am in no way taking credit for the wonderful production of "The Paperman" and I consider it more a "fan-work" than anything else. You guys know how hard it is to find good inspiration and this and the other trailers visually inspired me. Thanks again for everyone that took time to share their opinions. I truly appreciate it.
when the rhythm starts; your horns/orch and rhy section are not quite together. Otherwise well done.
Thanks for the feedback

You are the owner of Julie's - very interesting. Love that place. I live up on Hepbourne and it's been too long since I've been to Julie's. What sort of things are you writing these days?
Hi Bruce... Not sure if I responded... I write Thrillers. My latest has been sent to L.A. for Coverage. A bit of a rewrite is the order of the day. Thank you for loving Julie's Cuban. It keeps me going.
