Dear Smarter-Than-Me Movie Peeps,
I have the opportunity to have my screenplay showed at an upcoming festival via LookBook. I put one together (my first attempt ever) using Powerpoint. I'm sure it will need a lot of work...
My question is, for those of you who have done them, what software do you use?
Any advice is welcomed!
Thanks,
Dave

I used Final Draft for screen writing as well and love it. The Look book is to help pitch to investors / producers. It's sort of like a brochure with a lot of imagery to paint the picture along with your synopsis, log line, etc.
The 3-5 short is probably most ideal, but not in the budget.

HI neighbor (Richard) I'll peek at CeltX, thanks. Western Monmouth is practically the NEW Hollywood!! LOL
Lol
Hey David, I am using powerpoint. However, I am a bit mystified by what actual "format" is industry standard.
PowerPoint, PageMaker. I'm sure there are others like Corel. There is no industry standard. Depends on the situation.

I just put together a look book for a comedy feature I wrote that's set in, get this, New Jersey! If anyone would take a quick look at it, I'd be happy to return the favor. :^}
Keynote for Mac. Beautifully simple and really can do a lot.
I've made look books on pages, word, even google docs. Use what you're most comfortable with. When you send/submit you'll likely be turning it into a PDF so the original program doesn't matter much. My advice: try to look at some samples from friends if you can before submitting.
I've used Google Slides (free if you have gmail account) which is just like PowerPoint but it's a web application.
