I don't write about my screenwriting often. With a newspaper article or radio programme, the process is short enough for me to blog a little extra information and provide a link and watch the article/programme appear within a week or so. Writing for the screen is a very different matter... and at the moment of actually scriptwriting, there's often very little I'm allowed to say about the project. Right now, I'm writing a children's show for a possible slot on CBBC. It's the first childrens' TV I've ever written, and I'm having a ball. It's a great project and a lot of fun... but I can't say anything more about it until it's (hopefully) greenlit.
For something very different, I've been researching The Sopranos... desconstructing it a little and gathering some information about how it's made. During this process I came across a couple of interesting links I thought I'd share. (After all, who doesn't like The Sopranos?) First off, a kind of scene-by-scene interview with DOP Alik Sakharov ASC (pictured, below), looking at some classic Sopranos shots. Secondly, an article which takes a closer look at the outlining process each episode goes through. It's clipped from David Chase's forward to a collection of published scripts, and it's fairly detailed.
Hi there,
I've been recommended to get in touch with you by Jesse Cleverly at the BBC. We're just about to start work on an animated series 'The PInky & Perky Show'. Can you send me your CV and get in touch with my be email?
Look forward to hearing to you.
Ruth
