TV Writer, Bob Goodman, Chat Guest on May 30, 2010


TOPIC: Guest Bob Goodman, @b0bg00dman, from WAREHOUSE 13 for USA chat, and an OPEN topic for EURO chat.

The Euro group started us off with an open topic.   Lots of iPad discussion in regard to what it will mean for the future of independent film viewing, amongst other topics.  Check it out.  Then, the USA chat was granted the pleasure of Bob Goodman, story editor for WAREHOUSE 13 and Emmy Award winning writer for BATMAN BEYOND and JUSTICE LEAGUE.  He created and produced the Batman spin-off THE ZETA PROJECT.  You won’t want to miss a moment of the chat… Bob even gives out a pie recipe! @jeannevb

7:24 pm             filmutopia:             @DreamsGrafter It reminded me of early Oliver Postgate. You should try writing some narration for it #scriptchat
7:24 pm             momentsoffilm:             @Pale_Jewel I saw his interview on #prodoffice the other night with examples of the three films. Awesome! #script2screen #scriptchat
7:24 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia OH! haha #scriptchat Um, not totally sure. I think we're due for a technology backlash and this could bring it.
7:25 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace Thanks so much for persisting. The b.f. describes it as demonstrating a fevered imagination. Haha. ;) #scriptchat

7:29 pm             lupiilu:             @filmutopia it would certainly make it easier, much like Lulu.com online publishing. don't you think it would bring quality down #scriptchat
7:29 pm             lizziside:             @filmutopia Ifeel that iPad will be the transition to something evolutionary in that respect. #scriptchat
7:30 pm             Pale_Jewel:             @DreamsGrafter I think he had some good premises that people wanted & the scripts were good. People passed it along, & ... #scriptchat
7:30 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia I'm thinking of writing a short story to adapt and am definitely considering voice over for that story. #scriptchat

7:31 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat distribution and accessablilty is still the main issues though. Ipad just provides another media access point
7:31 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @filmutopia I don't have an iPad yet but I think it will help join the various media into a single experience... #scriptchat
7:31 pm             HayleyMckenzie1:             Hi #scriptchat guys. Thinking of launching a US Script Angel. Any good website for US screenwriting comps?
7:32 pm             filmutopia:             @lupiilu I don't think so because movies on iTunes are controlled. So it's not like iTunes #scriptchat
7:32 pm             Pale_Jewel:             I'm sure @livingspiritpix website will have a podcast of some sort with Dean's desription how he got Death At A Funeral made. #scriptchat
7:32 pm             momentsoffilm:             Without flash video I fear the ipad is doomed.. after all you can buy a laptop for much the same price! #scriptchat
7:32 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @filmutopia ...more books w/ moving images accompanying them, more moving pictures attached to text, image, real world content. #scriptchat

7:34 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat however, you're point is valid as easy of access is critical but we, as film makers, --
7:34 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @DreamsGrafter Do you see your focus shift more to the film making side as opposed to the writing alone? #scriptchat
7:34 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat --still need to resolve our issues over reaching our target audience and the ipad dont' help us there.

7:36 pm             filmutopia:             @dcwritesmovies #scriptchat no single thing is "the answer" ... I just don't think people understand how game changing this product is.
7:36 pm             rabbitandcrow:             #scriptchat Smart content producers will create, for example, extras that take you on walking tours of locations a movie was shot.

7:37 pm             dcwritesmovies:             #scriptchat - what I do find interesting in the ipad, 3d film writing is the idea that consumers are more interested in senory expirences.
7:38 pm             momentsoffilm:             @rabbitandcrow That's already happening. Multimedia is a great marketing tool.. #scriptchat
7:38 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @lupiilu I... what? I was just helping Mina get an idea what they.... *sigh* yeah, you're right. #scriptchat

7:38 pm             rabbitandcrow:             #scriptchat Movies, with iPad & related tech, can actually interact with the physical location of the viewer and time of day.
7:38 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace Don't know. As well as making the short this week, I finished my first short story which I equally loved doing. #scriptchat

7:39 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @DreamsGrafter Cos I keep getting the urge to dive in and retry a short horror, but feel I should focus on writing. #scriptchat
7:40 pm             lupiilu:             @lizziside probably a good idea. #scriptchat
7:40 pm             rabbitandcrow:             #scriptchat Down the line, the "iPads" will become mobile storytellers who will adapt to the needs of their users. Mini Scheherazades.
7:40 pm             filmutopia:             @dcwritesmovies It's a combination of things. iPad owners are a narrower demographic than trad cinema goers. More intelligent #scriptchat

7:41 pm             b0bg00dman:             Before embarking on #scriptchat in a few hrs, should mention that I'm uncomfortable with the implicit suggestion that I know anything.
7:41 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace I really think you should w/ your gut feeling. You can write whilst make the short at the same time. #scriptchat
7:41 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             And anyone who likes and wanst the final 2 books gets them FREE from me with proof of purchase. How's that for a deal?! #scriptchat
7:41 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace In fact, you'll learn so much about your own writing through making the short. #scriptchat
7:41 pm             thewritertype:             Woody Allen said it's all about turning up, and there are now more digital places we have to turn up at. #scriptchat
7:42 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace The script I wrote was different to the footage I shot and very different to my edit. #scriptchat

7:43 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace You'll learn about pacing and how to hold an audience's attention. So much easier on the screen than on page. #scriptchat
7:43 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @DreamsGrafter Ilike (and think need) to stay focused on one aspect. Making the short is so much more. I tried before -- #scriptchat
7:43 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @thewritertype Pau! :) #scriptchat
7:44 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @DreamsGrafter -- and had my own production company set up but felt overwhelmed and missed the writing side. #scriptchat

7:44 pm             filmutopia:             #scriptchat I'm just thinking that the shift from cinema to TV definitely affected styles of storytelling. iPad is even more intimate.
7:44 pm             lupiilu:             agreed, RT @lizziside: @lupiilu Jonathan is great! #scriptchat
7:45 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @b0bg00dman Haha. Hope you have a great time. :) It'll be fun! Wish I cld be there but will definitely read transcript. #scriptchat

7:46 pm             HayleyMckenzie1:             @DreamsGrafter @Jonathan_Peace I agree. Getting writing made can be gr8 way to develop your writing. Requires lots of stamina! #scriptchat
7:46 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             Whoa! Missed that in the stream >> RT @lupiilu: agreed, RT @lizziside: @lupiilu Jonathan is great! #scriptchat
7:46 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia That's a really good point. Ppl will be downloading films to watch. So there won't be channel surfing as w/ TV. #scriptchat
7:47 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace my friend and I kept it simple (Cheap!) student actors, one week in woods, home camera. £145. approx #scriptchat
7:47 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             *digging out the BOLD as Brass Films Production Bible and thinking....* hmm.... #scriptchat
7:47 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia Gosh, that's quite exciting ... in which content will be affected. #scriptchat
7:47 pm             filmutopia:             @DreamsGrafter exactly and we're talking about a more intelligent, wider read demographic #scriptchat
7:48 pm             SusanaMai:             RT @danish_novelist: My #life is one big #hashtag. I visit #litchat, #amwriting, the Danes at #escdk, the great nerds at #writetip, #writechat, #scriptchat. Help
7:48 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat I see you're point. However, we're still talking about a SMALL market share. (Apple fan boys/girls will object)
7:49 pm             filmutopia:             @DreamsGrafter That's what I'm thinking at the moment. But this all just guess work, mind you #scriptchat
7:49 pm             momentsoffilm:             Agree! RT @dcwritesmovies: @filmutopia #scriptchat I see you're point. However, we're still talking about a SMALL market share.
7:49 pm             thewritertype:             @filmutopia Agree; I watch TV on my iPhone and it feels like I know all those little people in there. #scriptchat
7:49 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace Don't worry about the company side for now just how you're going to gain greater insight into storytelling. #scriptchat
7:49 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @lupiilu Dogging (my horror film) was a simple premise. 4 characters - including Camperman Dan and blood. Lots of blood. #scriptchat
7:50 pm             filmutopia:             @dcwritesmovies A small market share for computers maybe, but a huge potential audience for independent movies #scriptchat
7:50 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @HayleyMckenzie1 Hi Hayley, welcome! :) Yes, stamina indeed. Writers and directors are fundamentally different types. #scriptchat
7:50 pm             filmutopia:             @thewritertype it's all about the little people #scriptchat
7:51 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat Apple products and even "Pads" don't have the same presence. While there is a TV in every home, more than half 1/2
7:51 pm             MrSpiddy:             @lupiilu @Jonathan_Peace Good thing: with social media sites like Facebook, you can set up a fan page for your film. #scriptchat #scriptchat
7:51 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat of the world still don't have computers.
7:51 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @DreamsGrafter But if you're having to raise funds from scratch which I would need to do, surely you need legit company? #scriptchat
7:51 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace mine, Divided, 4 robbers forced to take hostage fight when they can't decide what to do with her. total 7 cast #scriptchat
7:52 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @momentsoffilm #scriptchat Most of the current use seems to be just high-tech versions of strategies used since the 1950's.
7:52 pm             Pale_Jewel:             Just randomly... don't ya hate it when you think of a good piece of dialogue in the shower & then forget it when you come out #scriptchat
7:53 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @momentsoffilm #scriptchat I'm wondering what'll happen when we're able to think about text & image, voice & movie, time & space in one art.
7:53 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             My plan was to do it as a short then sell it on DVD and use that to help start fund raise for a feature length version. #scriptchat
7:53 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia True re intelligence, the experience wld be like reading a book but watching a film on the iPad. #scriptchat
7:54 pm             thewritertype:             @filmutopia Tiny screen, little people, big stories, huge possibilities. Whoopee! #scriptchat
7:54 pm             filmutopia:             @dcwritesmovies If compare iPad to cinema audiences. They are also niche and easily defined, but they drive TV sales #scriptchat
7:54 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @momentsoffilm #scriptchat And how do you write that? The writer of the future has to be a composer, painter, & storyteller - and physicist!
7:54 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace next was The Rising, , 1 nights filming, 10 minutes footage. 5 people accidently call up evil spirit. #scriptchat
7:54 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia It is early days but as soon as prices start to come down in next few years, the audience will also get bigger. #scriptchat
7:55 pm             lizziside:             @Jonathan_Peace is horror your genre? #scriptchat
7:55 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @lupiilu Ooo I like that one. #scriptchat
7:55 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @filmutopia #scriptchat. I agree Independent movies need the biggest marketshare pipe line they cn get, wouldn't writing 4 ipad limit that?
7:56 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace finally, Junction 26. cast of 2, filming in woods night before new years eve. FREEZING cold. submitted for comp #scriptchat
7:56 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Yes. Movie experience becomes even more solitary & intimate - booklike. You can take your movie to bed.
7:56 pm             momentsoffilm:             @rabbitandcrow Screenwriters think along those lines anyway don't they? How else would you write a scene? Film is painting light #scriptchat
7:56 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             @lizziside Yeah, I think it is but not just 'gorey' horror. The horror hidden inside us all is the theme of Deadline #scriptchat
7:56 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Jonathan_Peace Yeah, that's true. I forgot about funds. Haha. I'm working within my limitations right now. #scriptchat i.e. zero quid. ;)
7:57 pm             filmutopia:             @dcwritesmovies I'm not sure that's what I'm saying. I think I've got my producer's head on today! LoL #scriptchat
7:57 pm             Jonathan_Peace:             Bubble-Butt is an OTT B-movie horror and Gunsmoke&Glory is a western horror -- oo, did I let that slip!? LOL #scriptchat
7:58 pm             fnafilms:             @dcwritesmovies @filmutopia - isn't it about knowing how your target audience consumes media rather than writing for a platform? #scriptchat
7:58 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @momentsoffilm #scriptchat Yes. I think you do have to keep all that in mind & remember you're writing image & sound & rhythm.
7:58 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace it was small prequel to feature called Event of the Year, same evil spirit plays game with 2 young couples #scriptchat
7:58 pm             Pale_Jewel:             Stupid things that go through writers minds: Will Coming Up Channel 4 mind if I print doublesided to save paper? #scriptchat
7:59 pm             lizziside:             @Jonathan_Peace Check out Italian director Dario Argento, especially early films...and on duality F.Dostoevsky, of course #scriptchat
7:59 pm             thewritertype:             @dcwritesmovies If iPad is what you can get your movie on, write for iPad, I reckon. #scriptchat
8:00 pm             dcwritesmovies:             Totally agree. RT @fnafilms: isn't it about knowing how your target audience consumes media rather than writing for a platform? #scriptchat
8:01 pm             momentsoffilm:             @rabbitandcrow It's just the same for games, multimedia etc.. you create a full world, and write the slice we see. #scriptchat
8:01 pm             filmutopia:             #scriptchat thanks folks. enjoyed tonight no end. Allowed me to unpack some ideas I've had kicking around for a while
8:01 pm             lupiilu:             @Jonathan_Peace Bubble-Butt sounds funny. Writing and Directing are very different, I don't think I could do it. x #scriptchat
8:02 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Wow, that went quickly! Guys, I'm going to shoot off and head back to bed. Continue running free. I love open topics! #scriptchat
8:02 pm             dcwritesmovies:             @thewritertype #scriptchat - but don't you think that limits your audience?
8:02 pm             momentsoffilm:             Absolutely! RT @fnafilms: isn't it about knowing how your target audience consumes media not writing for a platform? #scriptchat
8:02 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Pale_Jewel Not sure. Wish everyone thought like that re saving paper. #scriptchat
8:03 pm             thewritertype:             Writers have always been lonely (blog plug: http://bit.ly/8YVs5M ) and with iPad etc, viewers will be, too. #scriptchat
