SLIDESHOW

 

MY THOUGHTS AS I LISTENED, it started at 5:00pm eastern standard time

5:18
i say 10 is in what the medals represent, they are proven rebel leaders

5:26
haha, yes i bought the rod sterling/richard matheson/charles beaumont  scripts for twilight zone to learn

5:27
many people don't have people in their personal lives who allow them to fail  

5:29
write for you. if you like what you write you aren't failing, and keep writing till you like what you write 

5:31 
what does it mean to be human? you need to know what it means to be human. 

5:34
and also extend the human comprehension to all characters. the hero isn't the only character to approach holistically 

5:36
you did say it before , the writerjapanese anime called "black clover" said he wanted to do that in his anime

5:42
exactly alot of boring science fiction or horror or adventure is in books/movies where the plot isn't existent, it is merely, experiencing someone doing stuff 

5:46
I don't usually write the other. Definitely need to push that forward to learn about myself more 

5:55
are the immortal villains in horror or scifi films , witness characters? 

5:56 
all writers get into habits and regular forms

6:04
I make storyboards that helps this 
writing without dialog in screenplays is vital, so that you can tell a story absent text

6:07
of course, you never know when the doors of imagination open 

6:09
i am on lifewriting, anyone else on the group from facebook? lets create together

6:09
exactly tananarive, the immortal villains in horror are witness characters:) 

6:13
I watched the twilight zone marathon while reading the scripts i had:) 

6:26 
screenplay elements for structure, remember just a template

6:45 beat sheet for danger word
I see, thank you,I felt it was a coming of age thanks for confirming

6:47 they funded the movie with a visual storytelling element

6:48 great story behind the scenes of danger word and crews influence

6:50 danger word was crowd funded for 30,000 dollars


QUESTIONS 7:09

7:52 great information on working in hollywood. I wrote in my own notebook alot. 

7:56
:) glengarry glen ross with M.A.G.I.C. will love to see that:)
