This thread is going to be a success! Me and goumas13 thought of this thread. When he gets on I'll tell him to come here and tell you what he is going to do. What you are going to do is make a movie using these directions.
Title: Plot: Setting: Characters: Movie Cover: (picture from photobucket)
There are going to be two judges for each competition. Each competition will be two weeks long. And the winner will receive a merit by Carlie. You cannot win twice.
Now all I need is to have two judges.
First competition is going to start when I have two judges to judge the movies. It will end on July 24th. Get Thinking!!!!
I been had this link on my page for about a month now and still not many people are coming through here but it dont matter cause we got an entry plus the deadline is next week anyway so well be aight when it comes to judging
Google - Bob the Alien 7.5. Amazing story! Just remember to spell check more. Also, what has Bob done? Is he a political prisoner or what? And what job does he get? You might want to make it a bit longer next time, explain the characters a bit more (what kind of alien name is 'Bob'?), and clearly mark the changes between paragraphs. Besides that it's a great story. The idea is very original and could be a great movie with the right staff.
Supercoo222 - Blackout 8.2 Good length, great concept, and solid story. But why would they send a probe for the OAS? It disappeared during the war. Wouldn't a lot of Battle ships be destroyed and never found? Also, what about the characters? You don't really tell me who they are. And it's kinda hard to care about someone you don't know. Lastly, great poster. It's simple, but it really works.
Kyocat - Don't Stare 8.7 My favourite so far. It is detailed, but not to the point of distraction, it's original, it has great grammar and superb spelling, and a wonderful poster that doesn't give too much away about the story (if you were to see it first). But it reads somewhat like the inside flap of a book where they take something from a little ways in the story. Who is the man sent to kill the assassin? What is the crystal for? I feel like I was thrown in a story I know nothing about. Lastly, like supercoo you also seem to have trouble remembering to press enter and start new paragraphs. But even though it's short (or at least it looks that way without multiple paragraphs hint hint) it's sweet.
HoodHulk - Destory our world 6 First of all, AMAZING cover. I'm kind of suspicious of its authenticity, it's that good. But the rest kinda pales in comparison... You might want to focus more on punctuation. It would make it a lot more smooth. Another thing; length? It's so short! And you don't even mention the characters. Who are they? It just seems like you just came up with a bunch of random people after you already wrote the story.
Nurvana - Subject 0093 8 D`: Sad ending! But that isn't really a 'bad' thing. Actually, it really works here. Many writers seem to be afraid of not ending a story with something where everyone is super happy and everything is fine, which makes this unique. But like before, the characters are very 2 dimensional. If I'm gonna be sad, I have to get to know them. Otherwise I don't really see anything that could be improved upon. Maybe you could design a cover?
