7:18 pm            Bursteardrum:            @TaroJ Bit of both really although I find it's the dialogue that changes. It's down to how the actors see their characters 1/1 #scriptchat
7:19 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum What can writers do to get their vision onto the screen? Write clearer description? Or is it out of their hands? #scriptchat
7:19 pm            sweettweenie:            @Bursteardrum have you had to make significant changes to a script due to budget constraints? #scriptchat
7:19 pm            Bursteardrum:            @TaroJ So it depends on whether the characters would say particular lines or words. The same goes for action too 1/2 #scriptchat
7:20 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher I mentioned before writers create the template and they should try and let the film crew interpret it themselves 1/1 #scriptchat
7:20 pm            mina_zaher:            Btw, have you guys watched @Bursteardrum's 'Chasing Cotton Clouds'? Here it is: http://bit.ly/gkKg2C #scriptchat
7:20 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher I don't like it when writers add camera set ups, that sort of thing, I sound a bit arrogant here but... 1/2 #scriptchat

7:21 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher If writers add descriptions and so forth then they should go and make it themselves! 1/3 #scriptchat
7:22 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher It's like having a blank canvas to work with in some respects 1/4 #scriptchat
7:23 pm            Bursteardrum:            @sweettweenie I can't remember if I've had to do that but I usually shoot the whole script then cut entire scenes out #scriptchat
7:23 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum Some directors believe you can't write and direct the same project. Do you believe this? Why? #scriptchat
7:23 pm            Bursteardrum:            @sweettweenie One of the joys of being a low budget film maker is you can afford to take risks #scriptchat

7:26 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher It's like the director is taking credit for everything when film making is a totally collaborating process #scriptchat
7:26 pm            TaroJ:            #scriptchat is directing someone else's script a very different experience for you, less personal?
7:26 pm            sweettweenie:            do you have a preferred DOP who shares your vision or do you use different people? #scriptchat
7:26 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum Tht's a refresing outlook. So process of interpretation isn't so crucial re getting the story/characters across? #scriptchat
7:27 pm            FurryWolfen:            @Bursteardrum It's fine you feel that way. As a writer, I hate adding camera set ups because that simply takes forever. #scriptchat
7:27 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher Thats what I love about film making, you work with the best camerapeople / editors / actors / producers #scriptchat

7:30 pm            Bursteardrum:            @sweettweenie Each film I make is different from each other so each DoP should be different really #scriptchat

7:30 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum I had a convo w/ a director recently who said a writer writes and a director interprets what's on the page. #scriptchat
7:31 pm            Bursteardrum:            @sweettweenie Although having the same DoP means the shoots are smoother & you don't have to start all over again on each film #scriptchat

7:31 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum The point was to keep the different crafts separate. i.e. not to do both jobs. #scriptchat
7:32 pm            Bursteardrum:            @WestgarthEnt Fair point! #scriptchat
7:32 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher That's pretty much it #scriptchat

7:36 pm            Bursteardrum:            @thewritertype As I wrote the script it meant I could be specific about the old school animation that was vital 1/1 #scriptchat

7:37 pm            Bursteardrum:            @thewritertype The animation was from a 11-year old's mind which meant it had to be home made / playful 1/2 #scriptchat

7:39 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher @FurryWolfen By keeping the scene / character / atmosphere descriptions limited to one sentence works for me 1/1 #scriptchat

7:41 pm            MawScrawl:            @Bursteardrum @mina_zaher @FurryWolfen So would you say it was a case of 'less is more'? #scriptchat
7:41 pm            Bursteardrum:            @mina_zaher @FurryWolfen If I have everything on a plate in the script, the development / rehearsal process becomes a bit dull #scriptchat
7:41 pm            mina_zaher:            @sweettweenie That's exciting. Do u know who'll direct it? And why did you choose producing rather than directing as other role? #scriptchat

7:42 pm            Bursteardrum:            @sweettweenie Do you mean just becoming a producer not directing? #scriptchat
7:42 pm            mina_zaher:            @Bursteardrum @FurryWolfen That's so interesting. Why does it become boring? So tweeps getting a clearer understanding. #scriptchat
7:43 pm            Perczynski:            @FurryWolfen @bursteardrum @Mina_Zaher good question. I'm feeling a trend to stress the writers to write more detailed scripts #scriptchat

7:59 pm            Bursteardrum:            @rosieclaverton But what I like about writers is they get to the crux of the script; the story more than anything else 1/2 #scriptchat
