A little time-consuming but worth it. It was the only way to get everything I needed. :) ~K Hi caz,

I actually screen-captured all the shots myself from the DVD on my computer. A little time-consuming but worth it.

It was the only way to get everything I needed. \':)\'

Thanks so much. And printable versions may be on the horizon (sometime!) That's great your pitch went well. Good for you! I hope you had fun doing it. If you approach it as a kind of 'performance', it doesn't have to be too scary. :) K Hey Lillian!

I love how you explain things so simply and clearly to get the point across. It would be awesome if your articles came in printable versions. Also, thank you for the advice about pitching storyboards for my school assignment. I talked clearly and acted it out, not being afraid to be funny. It went well! Thank you!

All I'm saying is the 'Wall-E guys' are a little few and far between. I'm lucky enough to have found one though. :) And yes, watch it again! Even on TV it's still good. @ Steph - I love that you loved Wall-E so much. I rather enjoyed 'Bolt' too. A tad more formulaic, but it worked and certain parts really touched me. But I'm a softy for animal stories. :) I can only do a real analysis after the DVD comes out. Or it'll just be me babbling away without images. Mind you, I did that for 'Igor'. But I wasn't that fond of Igor... ;) @ T - Glad to have given you the lesson. But keep in mind I'm telling you NOT to use it. I never understood it when I read scripts and it always seemed kind of 'hacky' to me. Then in a book by Derek Rydall he wrote about signs of an amateur screenwriter. In one paragraph he states: "Too many scene transitions, such as CUT TO, FADE TO, DISSOLVE TO, or my favorite, SMASH CUT. What the heck is a SMASH CUT really? It's a cut, plain and simple. Maybe there's a sound effect or another visual attached to it, but it's still just a "snip-snip" on the negative. What's more, you really don't need to CUT TO between any slugline (scene heading), because it's implied." When I read that I said "Hallelujah!" because someone agreed with me. It's a cut. There IS NO faster cut than a regular cut. One frame to the next. That's it. Rant complete. :) K @ Friar – Nope, nothing wrong with it at all ( I used to do it all the time!)

After reading your post, I want to watch Wall-E again, to find out what I missed. Wish we could still see it in theaters.....somehow, it won't be the same on a small TV screen! I’m with Steph.

I figured that'd be something to play with in editing, which I hope to have a hand in as well. Either way, thank you for some more knowledge and a new term. :-) @Karen, I wasn’t really sure what a smash cut was, I actually thought it was the same as jump cut, but I looked it up and although I’ve never written one in any of my scripts, it seems like something I’d probably possibly use once in a while.
