Story Breaking
An interactive exercise in breaking a single episode of an hour drama. We'll decide by consensus if it's to be an episode of "Angel," Firefly" or "Wonderfalls." Using a white board and the group mind, we'll recreate what happens in a writers' room, with slightly less profane humor. We'll conceptualize an original episode, then board out teaser and four acts. Emphasis on theme and structure.
Hooray for Professor Minear!
Oh man, I so want to attend that and pitch the one Wonderfalls story idea that I've had (while sadly lacking the talent to actually execute it as a fanfic).
My favorite part is: We'll decide by consensus..
Our sweet boy has never been to Bureaucraxy.
Teaser:
She is awful dang cute! What's that? My eyes, my EYES!
Act One:
Life sucks, and then you get a boss.
Act Two:
Right about when you figure out your boss, there is a commercial.
Act Three:
You were wrong about your boss.
Act Four:
Ok, it was your boss, but he had a good reason.
Tail:
Your boss is getting a promotion.
I pass now, right? Tell me I pass.
Too bad I'm drinking Postum, Gus.
I was thinking about having Joe go, but if Tim's not going to teach about Buffy, NEVERMIND.
I think it should be an episode of Buffy.
Cuz Minear really peaked with his work on Buffy.
ETA: Heh. Xpost Imperial goodness...
I think it should be wonderfalls.
I would love to see how his mind got form A to B and still made it make more sense then your averge crime drama.
Xpost Imperial goodness...
Great minds, Ro. Great minds.
Did I tell you guys that Tim is going to teach a screenwriting class?
I'd give my left (insert appendage of choice) to be in that class.
