Full Disclosure: There’s nothing in my head! But that’s a good thing, because writers are the only ones in Hollywood who create something from nothing. And I, for one, have a vast amount of nothing to share with you. Thus, from the void between my ears springs this blog on writing for animation and live action. A blog not just for writers but for producers, directors, animators, storyboard artists, VFX specialists and even studio...

Mr. Scott,
I recently purchased your book, How to Write for Animation" and I have found it tremendously helpful.
My friend and I are just about done developing our own animated series. We just need to write our pilot, but there are some scenarios I am unable to find examples for in your book or online.
First off, is it proper to use INTERCUT in TV animation? I found an example of it for feature film, but nothing for animation.
Secondly, how would I note something written on frame, but that is not a subtitle, i.e. words on a crate, or on a banner?
Since we have no formal training in script writing, is there a book or Web site you may recommend which we could use to help us answer further questions as we proceed? I've found information about how to develop ideas, but other than example scripts, I am unable to find a resource for formatting.
Thank you for your time,
Matt Johansson
