Writing A Great Script Fast Workbook: Story For Digital Filmmaking
You want to blast into creativity? You want a program to help you get there? You want to get noticed for the right reasons? Then it’s [...] by Sherrie Sheridan. The most motivating, comprehensive, idea generating program I’ve ever encountered in thirty years. Bells and whistles yes, and if you study it, keys drop from the sky that open doors, so you can travel through Secret Mountain into The City of Revelation.
Now, you have to study it. You have to watch the DVD’s. You have to read the books. You have to observe and apply the principles. However, if you do, look out–you’ll never be the same. It flashes, it lights, it burns, it blasts open a well of ideas for writing explosively.
Boom, boom, boom heard the giant? He walketh about with those secrets.
Sherrie Sheridan’s material is the giant and the way she presents him reveals a way through Secret Mountain and into that city of secrets. Follow MyFlik, apply it and a logical series of steps emerge. Then once inside the city you can decide what you want from the giant and apply those methods to your projects.
What’s it cost? Bucks spent that return immediate benefits shouldn’t be called cost because it’s an investment in your future. Your potential growth as a novelist, screenwriter, short-story writer, editor whomever–will, after the giant uncoils, give you ideas that can transform you into a master of creativity.
However, the giant lives in The City of Revelation. You can’t get to him, unless you travel through Secret Mountain and Myflik has the blasting powder that diggeth into it.

Writing A Great Script Fast Workbook: Story For Digital Filmmaking
This workbook goes with the 19 DVD video class and helps you to organize all of your screenplay or story ideas from the exercises. It also has ALL the techniques she teaches in lists for each step. If you cannot afford to get the whole set of DVDS get this workbook. There are questions for each step that you answer then at the end you will have your script all planned out almost done just needing a final retype.
There are some typos in this workbook which can upset the proofreading crowd, but the wealth of information more than makes up for the editing issues. Highly recommended for students or new screenwriters. This workbook is a roadmap for planning any deep story and will change the way you think about screenwriting. I wish I would have had this resource when I first started writing.

Writing A Great Script Fast Workbook: Story For Digital Filmmaking
When leading a small group of film-makers and script writers in a summer retreat, this was my primary resource. Draws on Sheridan’s 19 part “Writing a Great Script Fast” DVD series, and allowed me to demonstrate the writing a script is no mystery.
The Workbook is essential to the process. If you follow the format of this program you WILL create a script that you are proud of!

Writing A Great Script Fast Workbook: Story For Digital Filmmaking
First Off I must say… very impressive! No one has ever achieved this level of focus and clarity on this subject…. EVER!
the next thing that must be said is that its really EASY! =) very cool! it saves you reading 50+ books (most of which are really boring!) and its so much fun to let this step by step guide lead you through all the hardest stuff in a snap! No question is too hard for this since the lists are voluminuous and competely inspiring… even if you dont use the ideas that are recommended it get the creative juices going for your own stories and plot elements etc…
instead of telling you everything I will point out that the author/producers also included a FREE version of it to download and/stream on youtube. so if you are curious what its like there is 90 minutes of a whole nutshell class FREEEEEEEEEE =) cant argue with that!
and they give you a PDF with 50 sample pages to get you started with the free online version…
so after that you are totally up to speed and know why its so important to invest in this PRICELESS process… you will thank yourself forever! =)
