PHIZ KALIFA posted:Thanks to this site I now exclusively associate the name Sai Baba with dragon dick furry porn. I feel like VR jokes never go out of style, it's this hi-tech thing that makes you look like a total goofus to everyone around you. Good luck with the Riot! They're good folks over there, I used to do a monthly show with them back when they were in Jamaica Plain. Ironically the ending of that sketch was born out of desperation around not being able to figure out how to heighten the main concept any further. When in doubt, destroy meaning.

This is beautifully silly, I like the transposition of sci-fi stakes onto balloons, that's a really effective game. Speaking of stakes, here's a sketch about running into a spiralling Dracula at a halloween party. Strange Cares fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jan 12, 2022 |

Something about the idea of balloon characters strikes me as something that could really work as a TikTok/YouTube Shorts series. I got big Thumbwars/Thumbtanic vibes and the twist ending... Poifect.

Today a short dramatic scene. I often revisit the motif of "pizza night" as it can apply to any family, business, or almost any other group, and is a reason for characters to stand around doing simple business and talking. I always wanted to make an anthology show called Pizza Night where every episode is a totally new cast and setting, and the only tying element is it's always pizza night.

I have a similar love of the concept of Boys Nights. A bunch of dudes hanging out and talking about their emotions but also getting raucous. I would 100% enjoy a Pizza Night anthology or zine. I wrote a boys night sketch a while back that I'm proud of actually, here. PHIZ KALIFA posted:

Today's skit is terrible, it's like a fragment of a scene at best and it has a time explainer card AND a one-line waiter in it. Bleh. But it's 2 pages long so, woo pass/fail exercises.

I've been experimenting with using 3-card tarot spreads as writing inspiration for my sketches. Today I used that to write this sketch about the perils of touching butts

Kitchen shenanigans. I worked in so many restaurants when I was younger, front and back of the house, nice places and cafeterias, and it is such an energized workplace where you never stop moving. It's a great place to set scenes; too bad society seems to be moving away from the whole idea though.

A brief, quippy conversation at a bar, inspired by the great Studs Terkel. My favorite Terkel is American Dream: Lost and Found. There's a part where he flirts (barely, and respectably) with a younger lady in goth makeup while it rains buckets outside. He's just such a charming little old man. I have no idea why I thought about that scene today but whatever, 2 more pages.

A tiny scene in a mountain climber's camp My one-month trial of Final Draft has ended, and it's the same program I remember learning on, essentially. Definitely seems worth the money. But, starting tomorrow I think I'll try Scrivener out, on the OP's recommendation. I wonder if I can cheat free trials out of a whole year of this, hmm...

A nice little R. Louis Stephenson-esque scene on a beach So far so good on Scrivener, though I'm still figuring out how to use its many features, I did get it export a PDF. Now to figure out how to get it display pages. I was guessing today and ended up writing an extra one (oh no).

BoldFrankensteinMir posted:A nice little R. Louis Stephenson-esque scene on a beach I know a lot of people swear by Highland 2 which has a free version and a paid version. Also WriterDuet has a browser-based free version that lets you host a couple scripts at a time, I believe. I personally use Final Draft 12 but at this point it's just out of habit. I learned on FD9 in school and have upgraded since then. It may be "industry standard" but it also costs so much that there is a barrier to entry so I know a lot of professional, working writers who have switched to Fade In, WriterDuet, or Highland.

I too learned on an earlier version of FD and have stuck with it out of convenience, so it's neat to finally explore other options. Today I took another stab at the opening number for the award show

Fish car races I finally figured out how to turn on page view in scrivener, though for the life of me I can't figure out why not having them listed is useful in the first place. Does anybody find knowing the page count distracting as they're writing or something? I guess I could see that.
