14 days. That's how long I've got to finish the script for the zombie film. 14 days. The phrase your looking for Bob, is "oh shit!" For some reason I'm sure made sense at the time we've set the first read through of the script for August 17th. At the moment I'm at 29 pages. Add in time for some of the action pieces and it's about just over half an hour. For it to be feature length it needs to be at least 90 minutes....eek! It's strange how a script can just take over your life though. It's pretty much all I think about just now. Not about the plot, Mandy sorted that out ages ago, no it's the little bits. Bits like 'ok, he's in his flat and I need him to be in the pub by the next scene. How do I get him there and make it plausible?' That's were having a production partner comes in handy. You do however need to be fluent in production speech. Here's how it works:-
Joe: hey! I just had an idea what about if they did this?
Mandy: do what you like (translation:that's shit!)
Joe:well what about this?
Mandy: if you want (translation: that's really shit!)
Joe: what then?
Mandy: try this
Joe:ooh! That works!(Translation: damn! Wish I'd thought of that!)
I have faith that it will be done in time. Be prepared though for a blog in about 10 days time that simply says "AAAARGH!" Until then time to get writing. Cya later
