My programmer friend Guy Goldstein designed software that lets you upload a screenplay and it will assign voices to the characters and read it back to you. You can even download an mp3 to listen to later. It's pretty awesome. http://readthrough.com/ He is still working on the look of the homepage, but the software is ready to use. Actors like it too because they can rehearse their lines with the computer reading the other parts and giving appropriate pauses. I hope you find it helpful!

I wanted to introduce my new bestselling screenwriting book—it's from the same publisher as Save the Cat and The Writer's Journey. It shows screenwriters what all successful movies do exactly same—storywise—every single minute. The book hit #6 on Amazon's Bestseller list last week for Television/Film books, and is also in Barnes & Nobles. It's called SOMETHING STARTLING HAPPENS: THE 120 STORY BEATS EVERY WRITER NEEDS TO KNOW. Been getting great reviews. I hope you find the book helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Something-Startling-Happens-Story-Writer/dp/1615930590 All the best, Todd Klick Hi.

I'm going to try and do this whole blogg and youtube thing over the next year to see where that leads. In other words I can't afford to fund your film as i can't even fund my own one at the moment but the thought is there, best of luck, amy 'hiccup'.

Well i'd preffer saying a bad timing for cutting of scenes, some are way too long, some shorter then they should have been. Well, sorry again for bad critics, i'm not the expert, but really had to comment cause i watched it full.

]]> Comment on The Lone Gun Manifesto by Teemu http://www.andycoughlan.co.uk/the-lone-gun-manifesto/comment-page-1/#comment-189 Teemu Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:32:37 +0000 http://www.andycoughlan.co.uk/?p=442#comment-189 As beautiful and great idea this is, I don't think it is bringing anything new (except the lighter-zippo thing was a great tip, thanks!) or adding new genre to the guerilla guys out there. There must be hundreds of young film makers who just take their Canon 5D's, run to streets with their (friend) actors with a decent script and just do it. When it is edited with their home computer, they put it up on vimeo, youtube, their website or festivals - and not for profit. I'm not saying that this is not the way to go but I don't want to let go of futuristic special effects, dream like sequences for cheap art-house street-theater done on pocket-money budget. Although in these times CG has degraded a lot of it's potential (just saw burton's alice in wonderland - I work in the CG industry and can honestly say it was a horrible movie), before that was expensive models, sets, costumes etc. Many great films would've never been possible without huge efforts for expanding the subject filmed. It is visual, after all.
