September 12, 2011 Scriptnotes, Transcribed, Writing Process

This week, Craig and I follow up on our earlier comment about kids being the death of screenwriters, then dive into the process of outlining a script, from index cards to whiteboards to spreadsheets.

Along the way, we discuss Curious George, Torchwood and V.

Some links:

  • My Dad Lives in a Downtown Hotel. Beau Bridges!
  • Curious George Goes to the Hospital
  • Torchwood: Miracle Day
  • Elizabeth Mitchell boiling water, perhaps.
  • V theme cover by Bottin.
