@Pale_Jewel: Rob is the guru of how transmedia can be used for lots of different situations, whereas it's my first transmedia story :) #scriptchat

July 10, 2011, 7:05 pm           




@BerryScripts: @Pale_Jewel Hi Kirsti, what were your main concerns regarding using twitter for Hurst movie? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:05 pm           




@robpratten: It would be nice to know how many scriptwriters are interested in venturing beyond the page into #transmedia #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:05 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @Pale_Jewel I'm looking forward to hearing both of your insights as I'm developing MY first #transmedia story. @robpratten #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @Mina_Zaher Yes, do! Would love to catch up. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@Mina_Zaher: @RolandMooreTV Great! Have you been following @KarenBarley per chance? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@BerryScripts: @Mina_Zaher Yes, gonna try and think of a diff way to approach, want to learn off these guys first tho :) #scriptchat

July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@Pale_Jewel: @robpratten I think how difficult it was to load all her tweets on one page for an archive site. It should be simple in theory. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @robpratten ME! I'm totally ready to explore. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:06 pm           




@Mina_Zaher: @robpratten Would you be able to define #transmedia? Cross-platforms but how does it work? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@authorViviAnna: @robpratten sorry for my ignorance, but what is #transmedia #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@robpratten: @AlexisNiki my first insight would be you need a good story however you plan to tell it - movie, book, twitter etc. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@momentsoffilm: @Mina_Zaher A short film I'm producing #clowningaroundfilm may have some #transmedia elements. Aside from that I'm on the fence. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@Pale_Jewel: @BerryScripts My main concerns were that people wouldn't get it & no one would be interested lol #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@robpratten: @AlexisNiki always comes down to good characters #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@Mina_Zaher: I've just asked that too. :) RT @authorViviAnna: @robpratten sorry for my ignorance, but what is #transmedia #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:07 pm           




@BerryScripts: @robpratten def, but haven't looked into it enough yet #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:08 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @Pale_Jewel How far into your project are you? I've only seen the twitter feed so far... #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:08 pm           




@RolandMooreTV: As a way to make people aware of another project, transmedia looks interesting. Do you hope it'll draw people to see Hurst? #Scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:08 pm           




@robpratten: @Mina_Zaher "transmedia storytelling" is telling a story across multiple platforms - books, websites, videos, images... #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:08 pm           




@momentsoffilm: I like this video about multimedia storytelling http://bit.ly/qM5AXg but I don't know if it's for me, entirely. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:09 pm

@AlexisNiki: @robpratten I'm good with character, less good with complex storyworld. How to build storyworld around character...? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:09 pm           




@BerryScripts: @Pale_Jewel it's going well,the intermittent videos are crucial to empathise with characters otherwise people would lose interest#scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:09 pm           




@Pale_Jewel: @AlexisNiki There's one more week to go for @KarenBarley. The tweets are here: http://karenbarley.tripod.com/tweets/ #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:09 pm           




@RolandMooreTV: @Mina_Zaher Yes, I've been following and get the tweets. #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:09 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @robpratten and around more intimate stories? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:10 pm

@AlexisNiki: @Pale_Jewel What comes after the tweets? Or have you already launched that? #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:10 pm           




@Pale_Jewel: @RolandMooreTV I think it was always meant to be a way for me to get my story out to an audience, so itwas entirely transmedia #scriptchat
July 10, 2011, 7:11 pm           




@BerryScripts: @Pale_Jewel the intermittent videos are crucial I think, too long without one would cause people to lose interest I think #scriptchat

@Pale_Jewel: @RolandMooreTV So if someone wants to go further with it, then yes It's a great way to produce a story to show others. #scriptchat

@Pale_Jewel: It's been interesting to see if people will stay with a character by just reading her tweets, so lots of media is key if you can #scriptchat

@MichaelOrton: @Mina_Zaher @authorViviAnna @robpratten #transmedia #scriptchat A good ref is Frank Rose's "The Art of Immersion."

zacsanford2 Hey everyone, it's #scriptchat o'clock. Tonight we are discussing the development process with ME! Let's get rolling! #scriptchat -5:00 PM Jul 10th, 2011

TheWriteScript Hi all! #scriptchat -5:00 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 I know @kim_garland and @jeannevb will not be around as they're both busy with production and pre-production right now! #scriptchat -5:01 PM Jul 10th, 2011

TheWriteScript Time for Scriptchat, so come join us! #scriptchat -5:01 PM Jul 11th, 2011

Jamie_LD Yay @zacsanford2 is our lovely guest #Scriptchat -5:01 PM Jul 10th, 2011

sethruffer So how are you developing? Just kidding-can you talk a little about who's involved in the dev. process & the new writer's role? #scriptchat -5:01 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 So for those who are already here? Has anyone optioned/sold a script and then gone through the development process? #scriptchat -5:01 PM Jul 11th, 2011

Ghop56 #scriptchat What's a usual amount of time for a project to be in development? -5:01 PM Jul 11th, 2011

Jamie_LD @Ghop56 It's called development he'll for a reason! Lol #Scriptchat -5:02 PM Jul 11th, 2011
zacsanford2 @sethruffer During the development process usually the ProdCo and their development staff is in on the mix. #scriptchat -5:02 PM Jul 11th, 2011

NaimaHazelton Hi everyone. Happy to hear about development from @zacsandford2 - to join us at# #scriptchat -5:02 PM Jul 10th,

zacsanford2 @sethruffer As talent gets attached, most directors and bigger actors will want to give some thoughts, so they are in the mix 2. #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011

TheWriteScript @GinyMacGregor Hi Giny!! #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011

GCGeek Just coming down from my staycation high. Back to the day job tomorrow. But happy to be here for the writing chats! #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 @Ghop56 Development process can be one draft to MANY drafts. No development process is ever the same. #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011

sethruffer OK-thanks! So it's conceivable (perhaps even likely?) that at development's inception, a director might not yet be involved? #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 11th, 2011

TheWriteScript @GCGeek Hey, Mike! #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011


zacsanford2 It can be hell for the writer and/or the producer. RT @Jamie_LD: @Ghop56 Its called development hell for a reason! Lol #scriptchat -5:03 PM Jul 10th, 2011

GinyMacGregor Q: has anyone gone through to the development stage only to be dropped? #scriptchat -5:04 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 @sethruffer Usually the ProdCo will go through development before ever going out to any talent. Sometimes it is the reverse. #scriptchat -5:04 PM Jul 10th, 2011

bourbonroad I was afraid that I had missed #scriptchat....thank goodness I was wrong! -5:04 PM Jul 10th, 2011

Jamie_LD @zacsanford2 Switching back to laptop so !Pad won't change my words. Hell he'll whatever. #scriptchat -5:04 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 And let me state this... this is the way Suntaur has done the development process, which can be different comapnay to company. #scriptchat -5:05 PM Jul 10th, 2011

GinyMacGregor @bourbonroad Naw, just started. #scriptchat -5:05 PM Jul 10th, 2011

zacsanford2 @GinyMacGregor We've developed scripts and writers and then stopped the process after our option ran out/hit a dead end. #scriptchat -5:05 PM Jul 10th, 2011

sethruffer @zacsanford - thanks again! I ask because I hear a lot of "you gotta get a director attached", and yet that doesn't seem right. #scriptchat -5:05 PM Jul 10th, 2011

@GCGeek: Hey hey-hey! RT @TheWriteScript: @GCGeek Hey, Mike! #scriptchat

July 11, 2011, 12:06 am           



 
@andrealmcneill: But isn't it true that you can be in development without having an option? The sneaky way of not paying us writers. Ya? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:06 am

July 11, 2011, 12:07 am           



 
@zacsanford2: So when we option a script (even from a new writer) the development process usually begins right away. Option = ticking clock. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:07 am           



 
@sethruffer: @andrealmcneill - I was reading somewhere the other day that "no fee" options are becoming more prominent, too. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:08 am           



 
@zacsanford2: @andrealmcneill Yes, a lot of ProdCos will give one set of development notes before optioning to see if a writer can take notes. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:08 am           



 
@zacsanford2: @Ghop56 So many things can make us give up on the project. Most common is a writer who isn't a team player. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:09 am           



 
@Jamie_LD: @zacsanford2 What is the average option time? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:09 am           



 
@GCGeek: @zacsanford2 Does the writer have to deal with conflicting notes during this process or are they streamlined or consistent? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:09 am           



 
@zacsanford2: So once we option or decide to work on a script, we either give very broad notes or we give very detailed notes. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:09 am           



 
@LindaFausnet: @jeannevb how do I get to #scriptchat? I can't seem to find it
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@eyeda: What is the average amount of reworking that a typical script will go through from the start of devel to the screen? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@TheWriteScript: There's a difference between a script being "perfect to submit" and ready to shoot, i.e., why development process needed. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@zacsanford2: The more detailed the notes are given, especially when it gets into page notes over broad, you are closer to being finished. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@lisamondello: @zacsanford2 Is the writer in on meetings about development or just given notes to make changes after the fact?n #scriptchat

@Jamie_LD: @LindaFausnet http://tweetchat.com/room/scriptchat #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@zacsanford2: @Jamie_LD Options can run six months to 18 months for the first option period, with typically two option extension periods. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@Ghop56: @sethruffer No Fee Options? Oh dear #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:10 am           



 
@zacsanford2: @GCGeek We give streamlined notes. When we develop we have a meeting just on your project and one person will present the notes. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:11 am           



 
@Leemanrhymes: @zacsanford2 Can a writer do anything to help speed up development? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:11 am           



 
@zacsanford2: @GCGeek That isn't the case everywhere. And sometimes in a meeting w/writer conflicting notes can pop up. #scriptchat

@GinyMacGregor: Sorry stepped away so I could become a backer to *** Letterman...I'm in the big league now. LOL #scriptchat

July 11, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@LIMAMA: My first option was for $5K. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@andrealmcneill: $100? Are you serious? $100 to option a non produced writer? Really? #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@zacsanford2: But the development process is a tricky one. Sometimes a note doesn't make sense. That's why you have to look deeper at it. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@bourbonroad: @sethruffer Yep. "no fee" options, aka "dollar options" seem to be more and more prevalent in the industry. #scriptchat
July 11, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@sethruffer: @zacsanford @Ghop56 I think for a new writer (like moi) the exposure to the process is more important than the fee for an option #scriptchat

@malber: @2weddings in my opinion: no way. but can depend on level of notes. i might do a new step outline if structure is changed big. #scriptchat
