Now that I think about it, I believe some of the Fables TBP have copies of scripts as well.<BR/><BR/>I think this whole thing will be a learning process for both Miss L and I. I'll be pretty open to her ideas and vice versa, but knowing different approaches could really help.Hebdomeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156133463666500445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-32489922171666891982008-06-12T13:11:00.000-04:002008-06-12T13:11:00.000-04:00At the back of many of the Powers TPBs (including ...At the back of many of the Powers TPBs (including the last one), Bendis includes a copy of his script for at least one of the issues. I've always found these interesting, especially as you can see the differences between what Bendis originally concieved and how Oeming interpreted the scenes. Bendis, being an artist himself, I think adds a little bit more than the average writer in terms of perspective, angles, etc. I think you'll have to work it out with Miss L exactly how much direction she wants, but if you can find other scripts to look at it might help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-48935672500171672392008-06-08T22:18:00.000-04:002008-06-08T22:18:00.000-04:00Hi Steve-The comic writer services page looks like...Hi Steve-<BR/><BR/>The comic writer services page looks like a great resource. There's a lot to dig through there that should be really helpful. Thanks for sharing it. I'll give the scripting trick of yours a try as well.<BR/><BR/>Although I don't have a full plot for the main story yet, I think we're going to start with a simple short-short and see how the collaboration goes for us.Hebdomeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156133463666500445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-40699432016909442022008-06-07T13:13:00.000-04:002008-06-07T13:13:00.000-04:00You might find this site useful.http://calebmonroe...You might find this site useful.<BR/>http://calebmonroe.com/comic-writer-services/<BR/><BR/>Effectively when I'm working on a serial I do a basic outline that plots out a full arc as it runs through however many issues I've determined. <BR/>From there I used to go straight to scripting. Now however I use a trick that Matt Fraction talked about, put the number 1-22 (or however many pages you have) on a page and write a one line description of what happens on that page. After that move to scripting. Makes scripting far less cumbersome. <BR/>As far as how much to write, it's solely dependent on the artist you are working with. When I work with someone I don't know well, I tend to put a lot more detail in. If it's someone I trust and have worked with for a while I put very little. <BR/>Best bet is to ask your artist how much they want. Also, always let them know they have full reign to change something if it doesn't out and out break the plot.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864999494647119769noreply@blogger.com
