Yes, Mr. Voyse will be joining us at the scripting session today. I'm glad, because he said that he'd like to have some input in the content of the script. And thanks Max for saying you thought my sound project was good, you lovely man. I'm hoping we can work in tandem on the sound design too, it should be fun and exciting.
I'm thinking that because we're only making a five minute film, the script will be under 10 pages. The general guide is a page per minute, but you can never be sure, due to the pace and delivery of the scenes, if you'll over or under run. It's better to do more and be able to edit it down than doing too little and under run, forcing you to pad out scenes. If we're stepping over 10 pages with minimal dialogue, however, it's probably best to keep an eye on it and make sure scenes are able to be edited out seemlessly. We'll have a blast today though, I'm sure. I haven't written a script like this in nearly three years.
The storyborard is another thing. If we're having to wait for each panel to be drawn up before we can move on to the next stage direction, then we should probably go on ahead of the drawing. When the first draft of the script is finished, we can then all help out with the drawing of the storyboard. I mean the drawing shouldn't take that long really, but it takes longer to draw the desription "She sits up" than it does to write it.
We're glad Max is back with us anyway, we're a whole entity once more.
Be seeing you!
