four weeks to do the first draft. 4 WEEKS!! #scriptchat

they bit or did they have the idea and needed a writer? #scriptchat

@reebotfilms: @momentsoffilm No, seriously. there IS a way
to write action. It's about making it as exciting to READ as it will be 2 watch

August 14, 2011, 7:06 pm
@TaroJ: @reebotfilms @momentsoffilm #scriptchat how much
detail do you put in an action scene do you keep it sparse and leave it to the
director?
August 14, 2011, 7:07 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ And I ended up in a meeting with a
bunch of people who had all been told they had to read my spec script

@alli_and_that: #scriptchat @reebotfilms What scripts did
you read for research?
August 14, 2011, 7:07 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ And, no, it wasn't action. It was a
thriller. But I guess it was written in a way that suggested I could write
action #scriptchat

@sweettweenie: @alli_and_that hi Alli #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:07 pm
@reebotfilms: @Mina_Zaher No I didn't pitch it. They gave me
a logline - literally a logline and a couple of other 'wish-scenes' and that;s
it #scriptchat

@reebotfilms: @sweettweenie Hi there. No, the 4 weeks did
NOT involve treatment. That was prob 3 weeks up front #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:09 pm
@reebotfilms: @sweettweenie I wrote a treatment based on
their logline (and knowledge of who they wanted to star) #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:09 pm
@reebotfilms: @sweettweenie ...and then we kicked it about.
It was signed off after a few meetings of 'notes' then the 4 week-clock started

@Mina_Zaher: @reebotfilms What were the brand new hurdles
you had to face when writing an action film? Have never tried. #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:10 pm
@FreddoJr: As action screenplays go, which ones stand out as
great? I think T2 is as close to perfect as they come. #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:10 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ This is always the question: how much
action do you write. The answer is ALL OF IT #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:10 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ It's a great question, because lots of
directors will just rip it up and work with the 2nd unit to create action on
set #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:11 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ But...in order for them to do that you
have to give them somethign to rip up! #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:11 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ And jopefully they won't rip it up.
Hopefully they'll love what you've done. #scriptchat
August 14, 2011, 7:11 pm
@reebotfilms: @TaroJ But you have to convince them that you
- the writer - know what you're doing #scriptchat
