Mortal Kombat - from Rackaracka
@Alan Brash @David Hinnebusch @Chris Dyer We talked about this in the New Member Coaching today... a YouTube short that broke out and was part of what lead Danny and Michael Philippou aka Rackaracka to break into making mainstream horror like the fantastically dark Talk to Me. This is intense, so you've been warned!

You can't have a vision without eye sight.
I thought of a silly video game movie. Tonight I finished two small scene's from the first two days of shooting. 9 tracks. I just have to get with my screenwriter and hire my voice and avatar actors now. 2, 2 hourhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVu0_Ve9MEo shooting days. 1 week of editing. 3 minutes of movie. I should be in post within 5 months!

WOW! THAT’’S SO COOL!!!!!! Can wait to see what happens. I think what I saw was the lady is mad at the man, then some warriors come visit him and he’s mad about something- YES? I wish you could add medium and close ups!

Friday's Coaching Session (Feb 6) What are your take aways?
Huge turnout today! This was our biggest yet. Every one of these is a learning experience for me. Especially seeing how the pages play out now that we're doing table reads and seeing how other writers respond. Curious what came out of today for you guys. @Temycka Carpenter Carlton @Jason Byrley @Jason Smith @Chad Desrochers @Anna Fermin @Pia Crawford @Shauna G @Iii Party @Krystel Biasotti @Chris Dyer @Ian Campbell @Lena Lieuvin @Piter Marek @David Hinnebusch @Godfrey Virgile We couldn't get to everyone and will get you in future sessions. Meanwhile, I need to create a sign up sheet of sorts here, so we can schedule more than one session out. But this platform doesn't allow me to do that, so any suggestions on how to do so would be appreciated!

@Anna Fermin I think it’s the teacher’s call because he sees the big picture. I for instance can’t or won’t put up anymore pages until I’ve done my HW- and my notes are to study shows I think are a good fit and break them down- I’m still trying to envision(?) what my show is going to look and feel like- STILL! But because I am really trying- watching a show- writing the purpose of each scene and how it either develops character, sets tone and or moves the story forward (all three is the best I think) I am having little but meaningful breakthroughs! And sleeping on it! One thing I picked up in Atchity’s book- going to bed with a question (to these wild islands in your brain that bring all the ideas about story to your rational continent) and even before you open you eyes in the morning- listen for the answer and marker it on anindex card by your bed first thing! So far… just old girlfriends haunting me! Hehe But there’s hope still! Have a beautiful day FORGE SKOOL PEEPS!

What's Everyone's Go-To Screenwriting Software?
Tell us if it's paid or free (and if it's free, what are the limitations? Only 3 free scripts at a time, etc.). If you're not using screenwriting software, what are you using?

i’ve written 100+ unreadable vomit drafts on Trebly but my PC is now old and crashy - I’ve been experimenting with Celtix so far so good although I can only work on one screenplay at a time so I just export it to start a new one !

Sprint ideas
Hello Forge people, I was listening to David in tonight's call and thinking that I could probably use some exercises to improve some specific parts of writing. For instance, write a great opening, write a specific description, write great dialogues, etc. I was wondering if anyone would be interested: maybe once a week or once a month, we get a common writing challenge and we compare results/give each other notes? I feel like it could be a good way to improve on specific aspects. Let me know if anyone is interested in this. Cheers

@Anna Fermin you guys should consult @David Stem - the work came from our Emotional Authorship workshop - it’s basically putting your characters in the scene with out changing the waitress’s lines to see if your character arrives fully formed- If Tony Sopranos or Walter White played Jack’s character in the scene (trying for a substitution) IN THEIR WORDS you would recognize them immediately. @Jason Byrley
