Discussion Point - 07-09 The Miracle Element










Welcome to this month's discussion point post and podcast. As I have been writing, I've decided to relax on verifying all facts in order to concentrate on imbuing the script with more fun. I am apprehensive of relying too much on any miracle exceptions which may arise in my writing. In this week's podcast, I speak about miracle exceptions - when they go bad, and when they are acceptable. Perhaps the best examples of miracle exceptions can be found in this book:


Below are two examples of the author demonstrating exerpts from the book:

The science and entertainment exchange puts writers in touch with actual scientists who wish to verify the accuracy of the science they are portraying in their film. I came across it when scouring for accuracy in sci-fi. While not absolutely necessary, I find films which display a healthy respect for factual information a cut above the rest.




The progress of this pilot is finally rocketing ahead once again. I should be hitting storyboarding and animatic phase before too long, and I cannot wait to begin producing visuals. Thanks for reading, watching and listening this week, folks. I should be back before too long with a new brainstorm, and be sure to come back for the monthly work in progress at the end of the month.
