Who Attended(Order of appearance): Gerry, Sankar & Juonjo, Jim and Mary.
Sorry for the late. I’ve been searching for a proper scene in youtube with script. Finally I found some thing here. This will give you a glipms on how script writing will go for any perticular scene. There are some minor changes from the script. The main reason for this might be some on location modifications. But I re-edited the script a little to adopt to the youtube scene. It should be OK now.
Regarding the minutes, I remeber very little since its been a while we met. I’ll try to summarize though. It seemed everyone got some sort of problem with the celtex software. I found these links which explains you more than enough to write the script after the installation. link1, link2. For practice it is better to rewrite the Revolutionary road script ( the scene in the previous post) on your own. Then you will learn different formatings in script writing ( there are only 7 I guess) and key board shortcuts to navigate between them. Please don’t practice with your own scripts ( you can learn neither celtex nor script writing by doing so). Once you feel comfortable using celtex ( which require hardly 30 min.s practice), then you can start your personal scripts.
I’d like to add small suggestions to write your scripts. First please write a small synopsis about your story. Then divide it into parts and then each part into scenes. And then start writing the script. With out synopsis its like searching for nothing.
To cut a long story short, we all decided to write our synopsis and circulate among the members. So it is time for you all to shine your brains and put some amazing stories on paper ( or notepad). Try recollecting the best ever short story you read or a fairy tale you remember from your childhood. Don’t worry about the plausibilty of filming them in the intial stage. We will change them in due course according to our resources. I don’t want to bother you with my english too much. So, I’m stopping and please send me your ideas as synopsis ( not more than 2 paragraps or 1 page) as soon as possible. The dead line is 12th June 2009, this Friday.

PS: Next meeting will be on Sunday at 4.30 PM (14th June 2009)
Hi Sankar,
The next meeting was supposed to be Saturday 13th, June? That’s what was decided…I’m getting confused, we decided also to put our ideas on paper, which are mainly docu, no-one expressed any interest in fairy tales! ?

Hi Mary,
I was a bit skeptical about 13th . Sunday seems to be a little convenient for me. If I remember correctly we are not sure whether its going to be on Sat or Sun. I thought everybody left the decision to me. Sorry if it affects any of your other plans.
Regarding the synopses, I just added some thing else so that people can recollect their ideas. Since all the members didn’t attend the meeting, it might help others to extend their ideas. But you can send your synopsis on any topic you wish to
Hi, we could meet at my place in Blackrock/Booterstown on Sunday evening? xxx Maaret 0877866987
