Set up is fantastic, we shoot a 3 ep cycle over 2 weeks first is a 3 day week in the b studio which is grand, single camera – well used to that at this stage. Then the second week is a 5 day in A studio a bit more complicated with it being multi camera you could use up to 3 but my scenes didnt warrant it and I stuck to 2. Being inside in an OB unit is a strange enviroment to be honest, but you get used to it very quickly. Then we go into an edit suite for 3 days with the offline editor all your b week stuff is assembled by the efp editor and your A stuff is cut live by V.T. I found the easiest thing to do in A was shoot a master with the live cuts as I had scripted then isolated the two cameras for clean mid shots and M.c.u’s gave me more than enough footage going into the edit. Then the thursday of your edit week is your review with the series prod. and he decides whether its good to air or whether we need pick ups or reshoots – thankfully mine went out as I had scripted – now just to get a full paid cycle

The only thing from that list of questions i can answer now is
that it is four years old.
I got extra memory put into it to help me render my video footage.
I’ll check at home and see if i can find any more info on it.Sorry for being vague/ un-informed
Thanks Dan. Appreciate the comments. I also feel that if the script is in the most completed form as possible i.e closest draft to completion the better.
I have at the moment three script ( I THINK) posted on the writers section two of which I’m open to let someone else direct them:DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION
BOUNCEDI’d like to offer these as the first scripts. Any body interested can check them out in the writers section. I’ll also post them here for any director who is not in the writers group in their latest drafts.
Just got my rejection email from waterford. was expecting it but it still hurts ya know

Often wonder why i do this lark????the idea i have is to send four actors the script that i have got along with a character bio. Then get those actors in a room read a few scenes then do some improv and see where it goes. The story is about a 30 something woman who is a private detective, a kind of raymond chandler esque role reversal , who specialises in child cases.
The reason she does so is she is looking for her own child who was taken away from her by her parents as they were well to do and she had had an affair with a married friend of the family.
There is a serial killer targeting children and she is offered the case by a shady guy who pays her over the odds for doing so.
to cut along story short the killer is the mentally retarded brother of her married lover, who procures the kids from different orphanages and single struggling mothers then grooms them and eventually hands them over to his retarded brother who abuses them and eventually kills them. The married lover then dumps the body in different locations in matching cases.
The shady guy turns out to be a helper in the organisation but decided to blackmail the lover for more money. The lover "adopts" his own love child unbeknownst to himself and is grooming him to give to his brother. Ending is a bit sketchy but the private detective interrupts the "handover" and kills the retarded brother and after a tussle her married lover , she then sets then "orphan" free and goes back to her search for her child.
let me know what you think
