Script, yes, script!
Yeah--I'm with Tom. I love the lok of this sketch--like it's got its own surfer story behind it already.
Make the magic happen, Goodson!
Big tip about working on revisions to a script.
Use the speech function and have the robot voice read it to you ask you read along.
I was dead bored with the idea of re reading my Lion Killer script.
But having that voice read it along with me was the extra bit of oomph it needed. I even imagined my little robot firend was having her voice rise in excitement in some portions of the story.
Big news is I still like the story I have.
But I I left the writing right as things should get express train hectic in the 3rd act.
And I now realize that was the reason I quit.
I didn't have enough that is exciting going on in that section. My hero isn't menaced nearly enough. My main built up bad guy is TOTALLY absent.
The rest of the script is actually broken down into panels per page it's so detailed. And I dig that shot break down effort. Brought it back in a strong visual way.
The part that needs the work, I gave up on shot count and page count.
So, I have just a smidge of work to do on the script. It's fun. I've read so many pieces about story and writing since I started the script that I can see clearly what it needs.
I'm kind of impressed with that.
I think I'll go back to long hand for a bit and then back into shot description.
Very cool to hear of your positive reaxn to re-reading yr (fantastic) story script. You know I love that story!!
Very interesting about the "third act." I think of the villain committing the ultimate act of hubris, eating the (cursed) meat and thereby (unwittingly) condemning himself to the very fate he sought to wipe out.
A great tragic, ironic finale!!
And the midget riding the dog...that's as memorable an image as the human mind can devise.
Do it, baby! Include it in the TAG Annual Sampler--of 2014!
p.s. I like that this sketch reminds me of Geoff Knoble.
It does look like Knobel.
I can't get over your recall of my story. You remeber it better than I do. Having it read to me by the Andromeda Strain voice was a great experience.
I am a total believer in the computer read-back technique--I do it with my own writing all the time. Really helps get the writer some distance. Also, no performance cheats--when I read stuff outloud to other people, I always embellish the emotions, make up different voices for the characters, etc. The computer keeps you honest on that front--you can really tell if you are properly developing each character's "voice," so to speak....
Of course I remember that story--it's frickin' brilliant! I keep waiting for it to appear on the book shelf of my local comics store!
