Monsters on Post-It Notes - Post It Note Art by John Kenn I’m a fan of Post-It Note art. As I have no actual artistic ability myself, I was often limited to doodling on post-it notes as it would have been a waste to use nicer sketch books. However, Danish TV writer and director John Kenn has taken what I did for kicks while killing time and turned it into a true art form. Below is a sampling of his works, but you should definitely go and check out his ever expanding selection of Post-It Note art on his website, . I’m pretty certain that monster is going to steal that child’s balloon. So rude. Little Red Riding Hood would be screwed. I imagine they’re asking if she can come out and play. I’d be a bit worried if the ground I was sleeping in suddenly started grumbling because it was hungry. Cthulhu really is the best of friends. Dude, you are so boned. He looks like he’s trying to sneak, which is sorta hard when you’re that big. Seriously, give it up. Welcome to my humble abode.

Screenplay Basics A Scripped Compendium by Johnathan Carr Traditional storytelling recounts past events, whereas screenwriting is locked in the present - thus you may not deviate from PRESENT TENSE. You may also be tempted to describe every inch of the world you're creating - don't! Take comfort in the idea that a screenplay is not meant to have any literary value. As you're writing, be mindful to preserve only the most important details: information that will advance the story. At the beginning of a feature film script, often but not always, the first line will be: FADE IN. While you can write a longer ACTION paragraph, think about keeping it under five lines at a time. In the ACTION line, be sure to capitalize SOUND EFFECTS, CAMERA DIRECTION and the first appearance of a speaking CHARACTER. Use a PARENTHETICAL to note an action the speaker is performing while speaking or if you want to indicate whom the speaker is addressing such as addressing a new character in mid-DIALOGUE. Think subtext.
