yeah i started writing it already but its prooving a hard task... im so lazy about writing in the actions & cut scenes etc. i might just do the diologue then fill in the rest after my new plot is : An old man Jake who lives on the street with his dog buster and he busks on the streets to make cash... he had a washed up career as a musician and turned to booze... and we see his path back to the big time and in the end he releases a number 1 single & album and tours around the world[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]then dies...[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

good luck to ya.. ive just started working on aplay myself....it can be pretty tough to actually get motivation to work on it tho...ive considered making mine a graphic novel instead. only advice at the moment i can think of is...aside from the script itself...take each character and write out a full page or more of them speaking....almost in a diary/journal type feel. go nuts and have fun with each separate character....figure out which certain traits each of them have....how they relate and contrast to the other characters, also how the different characters speak and react..giving characters depthis really the most crucial part of writing..in my opinion at least. a story with 2 intensely created charcters could entertain someone even without a real plotline. |

Jeweller, film script writing, acting, making your own album... you're *darn creative. *note the 1960's slang.

i am one of the makers of Me & Jiggs (www.geocities.com/personaljiggs) thanks for the kind comments. i recently put together another online animation @ http://www.geocities.com/littlehidemovie not as much effort went into it. just put together for a laugh really. I reckon the best way to come up with ideas is just through chattin to others, then just start on it and you'l find the best stuff comes to you as your writing
