I’ve been here, there, and everywhere.
I need to start writing more. Lately I’ve been so busy that I’ve had to neglect leaving posts. You see I was on crew for a show, You Can’t Take It With You, and because of that I was busy as can be. Add in school work and well there’s no time to sit down, catch your breath, and type out some intriguing material. However, I am here now, sitting in my dorm room with the PS2 on and I’m ready to provide you with another interesting script.
For the one due on the 25th (which I won’t be passing in because I’m going back home to MA tomorrow night!) might have been the hardest script prompt he’s presented so far. We had to write a one minute script. A one minute script. Sounds impossible, but it’s probable. Nothing truly came to mind for a few days, but then I remembered the last script I wrote for class. It was about zombies invading an Apple Store (which happened actually) and sadly when it was read aloud in class we talked about it for maybe two minutes and then moved on to the next script. Even the professor was distraught about this. No one gave any feedback. Oh well…. Anyways, I was remembering that script and it dawned on me. I should write a one minute horror piece with some kind of creature in it. What further influenced me to do this was the commercials I kept seeing for Left 4 Dead, primarily the intro cinematic for the game.
It blew my mind away. This cinematic has to be one of the best I’ve ever seen. It captures the intensity and horror of what a good zombie movie is all about. This proved to be my muse for this script. It inspired me. Hopefully it’s scary, I just am hoping it is, that and hoping it’s only a minute long.
