REVIEW: THE "CORE ELEMENTS METHOD"
SCREENPLAY STRUCTURE COURSE

I’ve been writing for decades and have been steeped in screenplay writing techniques from McKee, Truby, Field, Vogler and others. But I just discovered a screenplay structure course that makes it easier, faster and more enjoyable to write much better screenplays. 

Special updated offer!

After the emotional depth of Kung Fu Panda, the lazy humor of Monsters vs. Aliens was a major disappointment, and as a result I wasn’t holding out much hope for DreamWorks’ new How to Train Your Dragon. Guess what? I was wrong.

Rango signals a long overdue transition for U.S-made animation: animated features specifically for adult audiences.  A new generation of filmmakers is knocking at the door.

 

 

The canceled Comedy Central series’ feature length finale is a low-budget direct-to-video effort designed to provide its fans with, as the cliché goes, “closure” and to say farewell once and for all to its cast of animated archetypes… maybe. “Buying the DVD is a vote for the show” returning, its producers say. “Besides, there’s a part of the movie you can’t download that will change your life.”

It's been a busy an exciting three days, but such a wonderful time. Some highlights and pictures. I’ll sketch in details tomorrow.

I'll wait.

Ten years have passed since that I wrote that. How's internal selection going?

Let me tell ya:

"Is he just giving us all the finger?" said someone to someone about someone during the something something animation festival.

"God, why on earth did he choose this?" told the other one to another one that's not the same someone at the something animation festival.

"Are you drunk?" I've asked myself watching a few competition screenings over the years whilst wondering why I selected a few of the films.

Was no easier when we had a selection committee. I got ripped all the time for their choices. Didnt bother me. I just blamed them. Hell, half the time I agreed with the rippers. Cant do that no more. S'okay.  Bullets bounce off me like raisins off a Prius.
