After my last post, I was able to gather alot of good information. Next question. Writing software, which one (or ones) do you recommend? Are they necessary? A family memeber recommended Celtix. What do you guys think about Celtix?

Expand postHello, All ... I am Victor Hollingsworth, a writer-director-producer based outside Atlanta, Georgia. I've already met several wonderful folks on Stage 32 and am looking forward to meeting many more. My day job consists of working for CNN Digital in Atlanta. The Kickstarter campaign for my first project, a web series/film called Rxurrection, is underway now. Please check it out! And let me know what you're doing, too. Thanks! Victor
Thanks for sharing, Victor. And best of luck with the project.
Hey Victor it is good to meet you. I am a playwright and filmmaker myself. I hope we can stay in touch and possible do some things together. I'm new to the film industry but want to learn more.

Expand commentHey Octavia and others, I use SCRIPTWARE. It's very, very user friendly and half the price as FINAL DRAFT. I didn't care for Final Draft. Scriptware allows to to write in Plays format, Screenplay format and Television format. I believe the price is only $100.00. Go on line and look up Scriptware. Call them and they can easily walk you through how you can download a copy from home after you pay the fee.

Expand commentHere's the thing - if you are going to a professional, you'll eventually need to get Final Draft. It's industry standard, and it's the format you'll need if you're going to collaborate with other professionals. That said, even though I use Final Draft for that reason, I found Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 a little more user friendly. Their tab/enter system very clean. WGA East used to have MM as their standard, but I think they recently switched to FD too. For non-standards, Fade In is very slick and user friendly. If I wasn't already used to FD9, I might be tempted to use that for awhile.

Thanks for the information
You can be professional as well with SCRIPTWARE program. They all do the same thing, which is format your scripts for you. You DON'T need to get FINAL DRAFT. First of all Final Draft is not user friendly like the SCRIPTWARE. And it's cheaper.

Expand commentIt's Celtx . . . (no i). I use it all the time. You can use to write theater plays, screenplays, novels, etc. It handles all the formatting. You can use it to convert between document types. it tracks your notes, lets you upload storyboard images, and will let you break down a script. Its pretty cool and its free . . .
