Week 3: Script Book Bonus
Given that we're only about $500 away from being fully funded (you guys rock), I've decided to add a little extra incentive. If we can hit our goal by Friday (8/10/12) , I'll be giving away a free digital download of the Pawn Shop Script Book to every backer at the $10 reward level or higher.
What is the Script Book, you ask? Pretty much what it sounds like -- I'll be compiling all of my hand-written notes and rough drafts of Pawn Shop (I write everything long hand first), along with the official typed scripts, which will hopefully provide some insight on not only my development and writing process, but also how these scripts have been translated by Sean in the final product. We'll also include some rough sketches and layouts from Sean to give the full scope of our creative process.
I've included some samples of what you'll find in the book below. Here's an early breakdown of Chapter 1:
An early example of the opening scene, some stuff that made it and much more that didn't:
This then led to a more solidified version of the opening sequence:
And then, there's the final typed-up script pages (please excuse the funky spacing below, it won't be like that in final version, obviously), which I flesh out and tweak as I type from my initial notes. The first version of the typed script is my official first draft, which I then go back through and revise time and again. This is what Sean actually works from:
And so forth! Hopefully this will give those interested some insight into our project, as well as give me time to reflect back on the many stages and iterations of this book. So keep getting the word out there and let's make this happen!
