Thanks for posting that Jody. I was thinking of gathering inspirational quotes and putting them in a special file so I can look at them when I need to. I guess this will be the first one, followed by some by Mel Brooks :) I love that guy. Maybe this can be a thread can be a sticky and people...

I would love to buy books, but unfortunately I can't afford to right now. I'm currently unemployed. Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll definitely keep them in mind for the future. And about what I'm looking for, it's more than just about screenwriting. I also need specific info on how law...

Thanks Jody. I want to ask about outlining, if I may. How do you do it and what should it consist of? And about the Lethal Weapon/Bad Boys type of script I said I was working on: Last night I decided to work on the scene that I wanted to begin the movie since I had it so developed in my head...

I guess I'll give an example of what I'm trying to do here. I have a few screenplays in mind, and not sure where to go with them. First one is a mafia comedy. I know what it's going to be about and I know what some of the characters are going to be about. I have a couple of scenes in mind that...

Thanks Jody. Helpful info. I've looked at most of these threads already I'll go back to them later as I need them, but I'm not sure it's going to help me with what I'm trying to find out now. I've also been searching the forums but haven't come across what I'm looking for. Perhaps I missed...

Should you build your characters first or write a treatment, or develop a plot? Or anything else? How do most people start screenplays, or does it depend on the individual, inspirations, etc...?

I'm trying to get ideas for a couple of scripts I've started but not really gotten very far with. The first one is a mafia comedy. The second one is a paranormal type of film, very loosely based on something I saw when I was 3 or 4 years old. What I saw wasn't bad but I'm taking what I saw and...

Sounds good to start with. It got my attention. If you choose to post more, I can't wait to see it.

Is there a basic story line? Maybe more suggestions will come if people know more about what's going on. Or is it too late now and you've already shot this part?

I'm currently in Houston right now, visiting family for a couple of days. I live in TN.

Yeah. I was able to download everything straight to a flash drive and transfer it to my PC from that. :D

I've got everything on my PC and it's all working. I'm learning from a tutorial I got online and it's a lot of fun. I'm creating a yellow submarine and it will be an animation when I'm done. I've seen videos on Youtube of people's creations using Blender. I saw a few really good ones. I can't...

I got Blender downloaded onto the other person's pc, but I can't figure out how to copy it to get it to my pc.

I'm going to try to unplug this other perons's computer and hook mine up and see if I can get online. I hope it works. I want to try animation so bad. :)

I think I figured out my graphics card. I see Nvidia GEforce 2 mx/mx 400 I have Windows XP and a Pentium 4 processor. The Blender website says it will work with Windows XP, but I don't know if it will work with my processor and graphics card.

Thank you Red Prince. I just checked out Blender. It looks pretty nice. I don't have internet for my pc. I use somebody else's computer to get online, which is old and slow and doesn't have much room on the hard drive. I wonder if I could hook my pc up in place of it so I could download free...

Thanks Bumike. I'll check it out. I'm sure it will help a lot. Reading a script helped my uncle with his script.

I don't know. LOL. I don't know how long it should take to reach certain points in the writing process. I've never done this before so I'm not sure of what I would be doing. I have A.D.D., so it would probably take longer for me than most people. I have ideas for stories and some of the...

I'd like to mess around and learn some animation on my pc. What are some good programs to use for beginners? Can I get something cheap or should I just get software like Maya? I don't know how much animation software costs but currently I can't afford much. Maybe I'll have to save money to get...

I guess I better start writing to see how much I really love it. :wink: What's the purpose of setting goals and deadlines for myself?
