Step 1- Complete!

I'm pleased to announce that (a possible minor change here or there aside) the Artist of the Beautiful screenplay is finished. Judging from what we have on paper, the film, when made, will probably be about a half hour long.

Now that that chunk of work is out of the way, it's time for us to get going on other stuff. The next step is probably going to be to get shot lists made up and some concept art drawn, then to begin working on storyboarding this sucker.

For now though, it's time to celebrate. Huzzah!

Zeroing in...

Several drafts and several phone conversations later, it looks like Aaron and I are finally coming close to a finished version of the screenplay. I've got a couple more edits to make, and I'm also going to be putting what we have neatly into proper screenplay format using Celtx, a free screenwriting/ pre-production software my friend Stu so graciously directed me to. http://www.celtx.com/

Once the screenplay is finished, then the real fun can begin.

Back in Action

So I've done absolutely no work on the next draft of the AOTB screenplay.

Before you come after me with your torches and pitchforks, though, (all two of you), allow me to say that I have actually been productive these days. I took an extended break from the screenplay to complete my fantasy novel that I've been working on, a Greek Mythology/Wild West hybrid called Pantheon.

Now that that's out of the way and being critiqued, I'm going to get back on the task of tweaking the screenplay. I hope to make it more focused on Owen and his maturing process than on the attitudes and reactions of the people around him. We'll see how it goes.
