It's great to have a film insider's take on this.
The screenplay examples do only go up to the "scene card" level, but we plan to have more columns so you could add the script there as well. That way you could go start-to-finish, or have overviews as well.
> I do think this would very useful for film students doing analysis.
Interesting, thanks.
A question: would this be useful for pitching a film? Say if there were concept art sections, character descriptions, and additional notes, as well as the script itself (from logline down to linear form) ??
> BTW I also feel that if you offer people the opportunity to try it, you should let them try it
Again, sorry about this. It's what we've got, and we're trying to make the best of it.
- anigbrowl 13y agoSomewhat. A fully developed proposal will have a book with all that stuff, but OTOH it's a fact of life in Hollywood that you shouldn't spend too much money on that stuff before you go into production, for 2 reasons. One, it's a fast way to go broke. Two, you wouldn't have all that stuff to hand if you were trying to turn your friend onto a great film that you had seen and thought your friend should watch right now. Studio execs don't want to be distracted by eye candy or character sheets, they want to hear something that fires their imagination.
- adriano_f 13y agoI see. Again, thanks for the insider info. I didn't consider that presenting too much concept art & story details might detract from the experience of letting the concept blossom in the studio exec's own mind. I'll have to sit down with some screenwriters again, and see if Gingko is something that they'd be able to use or not.
