I am considering, if I have the time, importing some of the Firefly shooting scripts found on the web into Final Draft 6, converting them into standard screenplay format (correct font, sytling guidelines, etc), and printing them as PDF files. Right now, I'm doing just that for "Dead or Alive." Is there any interest in me somehow posting the episodes this way. Or will I just end up doing it for myself?

Sounds like a shiny plan.

I'd definitely like to see them. To have them all in the same place, in the same format, in the same file type, would make it much easier for those of us interested in how the written word can be translated to live action to compare the scripts to the eps.

Ooh, I'd definately be keen to see that!
If you do have the time, of course.
No pressure.

I'm getting a place to post the first Ep I have converted right now.

Actually, where can I post the PDF file for free?

I'm definitely a definite on that! :-)
Is Final Draft a standard Hollywood big screen script style? TV or film?
Wonder if it's available for the Mac?
Thnx

Final Draft is a professional Hollywood screenwriting program, but it is not a format per say (yes there is a .fdr format - or something like that - but that's not what I mean). The format for a film or TV screenplay is kind of like a style guide. Final Draft just follows all the rules for you. A pretty definative style guide for film and TV screenplays can be found here: http://www.oscars.org/nicholl/format.html

Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?
Inara: Exactly...except that I said it was dumb.

Quote:Good idea. I thought about copying all my scripts / outlines / drafts / etc. to PDF format, but I've just been too... lazy... to bring them all to work and copy them. So far I've only done the "Blue Sun Rising" outline. Heh, only 58 to go.... One day! One day I will do it. Maybe. ANYhow, before I continue rambling inanely, I'll stop. I'm not sure why I'm posting this. Good idea. Yeah, that was it: Good idea!

Quote:I'd be happy to host them for you. I'll design a simple page for them, so you can give out one link for fans to find the scripts. You can email me at thedeltafactor at gmail dot com if you're interested.
