What are you working on, /tv/?

IN A WORLD

>>213635723 (OP)

A BloodRayne movie and a roadmap for sequels.

>>213635776
Sounds cool af. I've never played BloodRayne, is it any good?

>>213635791

Sort of. In a charming schlocky kind of way. Neither of the two main games are particularly "great" to make some top lists, but they are perfectly fine.

The first game has a fairly boring and "unappealing" prologue chapter, but it gets more fun from there.

The two of them also have very different vibes. BR1 is very 1930s gothy in that understated kind of way, more Tim Burton (ish, very ish) than Blade. BR2 is 00s/Y2K "cool" vampire stuff, more Blade than Tim Burton.

I think BR1 is a rather charming love letter to that whole aesthetic. BR2 leaned too hard into its own and lost that charm, and it also has very bad story writing. Not that people would play it for the script, but still.

I'm working on a fantasy film about missing kids.

Just random sorta doomer scenes/situations with characters I find interesting and hope get tangled in some way sometime. I've been getting into this quasi nihilistic but also romantic mood since I cut all contact with this girl I liked and I'm making nice progress I'd say, about 5-10 pages per scene. Usually I just got frustrated and procrastinated all day rewriting the structure and deadlines for stuff I never wrote or didn't care much for really.
I like this freeflow method, feel like there's a noice script slowly boiling and I'm starting to know my characters more and more. life's good.

A movie that is ENTIRELY, from 0:01:00 (after the studio logos) all the way to the end titles, is an uninterrupted live broadcast of a soccer / football match, depicted exactly like one, with no deviations from the format, complete with commentary, ads, expected camera angles, and all the other stuff.

It's a match between a team that represents Earth and a team that represents aliens that invaded Earth, set sometime in the 2060s or so, give or take (futuristic in some ways, but still recognizable as vaguely modern-ish, not too out there).

Earth wins -> aliens accept defeat and fuck off (the war has been going on for a while and their population at home is unhappy but they are a proud warrior race)

Aliens win -> Earth is destroyed.

Earth is largely represented by non-humans such as werewolves, vampires and such, who are generally "physically better" than regular humans. The team has some world-class humans too.

Earth loses 8:9. The final shot is the stadium being incinerated from the UFO that hangs above it.

I have the structure, characters and everything.

So there's this vampire. He's a grade-A asshole who also knows that he's untouchable because he's valuable to the team as a good player. If Earth loses, welp, everyone dies including him. If Earth wins, everyone on the team will be a giga-celebrity (including him) and worldwide heroes. In the events leading up to the match (the story / "lore" here is gradually revealed through the in-universe commentary), he's confessed to killing some low-hundreds of people for blood, he eagerly accepts trashy ad opportunities like "Say something good about our Shitcoin on camera when you'll be on the field", that kind of guy. Has attitude, not a great team player, but he's a natural with the ball.

The time is 93:24, Earth still loses 8:9, final seconds of the match unless a miracle 9:9 goal happens, the entire Earth team is rushing forward in a dramatic overhead shot, even the goalkeeper because there's nothing to lose. A lucky opening, the vampire guy is signaling to the teammate to pass the ball to him, the teammate trusts him. The vampire gets the ball past the defenders, you can see that the goalkeeper of the alien team made a mistake, the vampire kicks... the ball goes over the crossbar into the crowd.

The ball is returned to the playing field, the play is technically resumed but then immediately stopped because we're totally out of additional time.

8:9.

And the would-be savior is now the guy who doomed us all, with the only good side is that he only has to live with it for like a minute tops.

No reason to write a screenplay.
It's a rigid structure that is more like a blueprint. It'd be like if a painter decided to draw an architectural blueprint. It leaves no room for creativity, and it is actually looked down upon any time you try to do something interesting with the format.

Write a book.

>>213636191
No, George, I don't know how to write books.

>>213636167
sounds like some love death robots shit

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Is it more important to read a lot of books or watch a lot of movies to write a good screenplay?

And what's wrong with that? Some of the most beautiful shapes are very geometric.

Sobriety and contributing to my community.

>>213636265

On this note, I am genuinely concerned for the upcoming generation of people who will see/read more and more ChatGPT-style AI slop writing (both "creative/narrative writing" and "regular writing") and less and less human writing which can be good, bad, styled like this or styled like that, different and personal.

I don't even know if we'll have fanfics (and young fanfic writers) in 2035, apart from aging autists who still remember why the process writing and polishing your writing is fun (and who have "something to say" writing-wise instead of asking ChatGPT to write them a snippet on this topic with these characters).

They should've been friends, but his crush's AU version was awkwardly trying to confess to his other self.

No, I actually think that the kids themselves will be fine. Just like every generation is actually fine, by their own metric/perception, even if the elders are horrified by the modern-youth. Obviously, with the exception of large-scale catastrophies like active wars and other such shit.

Human mind is VERY malleable and adaptable to social/cultural changes. Especially in youth. That's one of the very useful built-in survival traits that humans have.
