Thanks for The Board word document! Very insightful and helpful. One of these days I will get around to printing it out. :P “Villianous Minion arc: From alive to dead” hehe, that made me laugh.

I didn’t know you did actual movies! I mean, with plots and all that! I thought you guys were all documentary people (or is this just planning :-( for a movie?)! Great to know you’re branching out to more culturally relevant (not less useful: more interesting/more likely for a non-believer to watch)!

Thanks for putting this up. We have a Mac, and we don’t have Microsoft Office, but I could open it in Pages (Apple Word Processing Application). I don’t do most of the screenplay, but this is also helpful for those who write novels (I wish I had this when I wrote my novel :) )
Thanks again,
Masterful Media

I wish I could get myself to sit down and read one of those books you mentioned :O

I love your system of planning though, its so big scale! I’ve got to try that!

Thanks :)

I figured out how to print the file correctly, with 2 vertical pages on each letter-sized piece of paper.

I am using OpenOffice.org to open it, in Windows 7 Starter, with some kind of Canon all-in-one laserjet.

Print>Printer Options>Page Setup
The paper size should already be at Letter.
Change the Output size to Letter (instead of Auto)
Change the Page Layout to 2-on-1; Page Order should be Left to Right.

Then click Okay, and hit print. You can set it to print-on-both-sides, but I didn’t ‘cause then I can cut these apart as I please. :)

(I first posted this on christianfilmmakers.org, but decided to comment them here if it’d help anyone!)

Gotta agree with you on Blake Snyder’s book. One of the best I’ve read on screenwriting and extremely practical. His other books are really good as well.

Save the Cat Goes to the Movies is just loaded with examples of movies that he broke down into beat sheets. Save the Cat Strikes Back is also chock full of useful information.

I was clicking on the image of your board with hopes that you had a full res version. How dissapointing, now I won’t be able to find out what this project is. ;-)

Guess I’ll have to try ENHANCE!
