    That is genuinely exactly how I thought it would look. It's fucking brilliant. More so if you know what'll follow, probably not at all if you don't.

    There’s a whole raft of time shifting series that have been made, and a lot of really popular one so if you can mail it then it’ll definitely get attention.

    Might be worth trying to understand why some held interest and others didn’t. Flashforward got canned after 1 series, life on Mars/ashes to ashes did very well. What can you learn from your analogues?

    I’d imagine a lot of the intrigue will come from working out what’s happened, but that’s more drama that sitcom.

    Will there be any different perspectives on each of the time zones? Ie is the forward through the lens of a guy and the back through the eyes of a girl? One of my favourite films is along those lines (flipped) and despite it being a total “girls film” I bloody love it as a concept.

    Also good luck. It’s good to have a passion to keep life interesting. If you throw a bunch of time and effort into this and enjoy doing so, the outcome is irrelevant.

    Great feedback. I need to change it to "comedy-drama" as that's what it will be. I've watched so much tv and I think I have a reasonable idea of why some things work and others don't.

    You do you, Yev.

    Even if it doesn’t work out you can say you gave it a good shot.

    I do sympathise with this getting attention for the wrong reasons, even though I see both sides. If somebody had finally started making some real progress on their lifelong dream, I think the excitement would be enough to pull an all nighter.

    Also, reminding somebody of their struggle when they're energetic and productive is a pretty quick way to slow them down. Yev shared how he was feeling with us and the fact he won't be doing so again shows that the reaction of the board as a whole was the wrong one. Concern is natural and obviously comes from a good place, but do it privately.

    Keep the energy up, Yev. It sounds like you've got a good mindset approaching the pilot so let's see what happens.

    As for the script, I read the first few lines with the vape juice and stopped reading. Doubt that helps, but here we are.

    The board's reaction was perfectly fine. He said he was struggling, and people offered some advice. Two weeks later, during which time his posting got no less maniacal, he was all fine but also wished he had never mentioned it because now people think there is something wrong anyway this sitcom I have planned to the most minute detail and know exactly how I will sell it to Netflix and how do I get permission to use well-known songs in it... If this was Smiffy people would be tipping social services off and locking their windows at night.

    As long as it gets more views than Lord Jerrington it should be considered a success.

    That's not happening. It's the board's RickRoll equivalent. Plus I kinda like that.

    I see your point, but also don't think that if there is something wrong that it's currently being handled well. What does Yev do now to not have certain posters on his back? Post boring stuff for a bit? Even if he stops posting, he'll have Luca sliding in his DMs asking if he's dead or not. If he stuck up that YevRage Algeria(?) post now I bet you'd get similar comments to this morning.

    Anyway, this probably isn't helping anything either.

    Might as well just cut out the 20 year high flying career middleman and get straight to the Harvey Weinstein denouement.

    It would just have been forgotten/brought up as and when, like every other lol thing that people mention. People never mention the porn site he was convinced he could make money off do they.

    Is there an easy way to group delete posts? I've copied the thread from the original into this new one, but I'm having to take all the non sitcom posts out one by one? It's painful, to the point I may just leave them there.

    Right, where I've got to with this...

    I want to create a sitcom (well, comedy drama really), but I don't want to do that if it means attending a screenplay writing class, joining a screenplay writing forum or anything of that ilk. I'm just not interested in that aspect of it enough or if I'm honest, at all. Now that doesn't mean I don't appreciate that this will need a script, but I think if it's just a screenplay I write and submit, then it will definitely go nowhere. Some of the (actual) feedback on the last few pages has been really helpful in working out that what I have in my head is simply never going to translate to the page and then from that page into the mind of someone else while still looking anything like I envisaged it would.

    If I make a pilot (a few scenes minimum), get it on Youtube and get it seen by people and I have a sub-par script to back that up then that's much less of an issue. It may bomb on Youtube and go nowhere, but as I've said before, that's fine. Losses are cut (which will mostly be time) and that'll be that. But I know, if I go all out for a script first and that's all I have and then try and get it picked up, it won't happen. 0/10 stuff.

    That's a pretty good shout and I may do so, but I'd absolutely want to avoid any notes being given on the actual content itself. Once whatever is filmed (be it a pilot or a series of it if the pilot leads to that) is out there I'd be much happier to be collaborative with someone, but until then I fear it may just lead to "have you thought about doing this, or what about that?". Which would just be a waste of both of our time.

    I'm sure you could work that out before you agree to work together. Also, they might have good ideas, who knows.

    Find some film students to do it for you "for the experience". You should be able to rent a camcorder and a few lights for not too much money, or they might even have access to them.

    A mate of mine does that with everything from his eye tests to his haircuts. Everything free and has only been stung with the hair a couple of times.

    It's a huge undertaking and why would someone who actually knew what they were doing with screen writing want to work with me, an accountant? It's just adding another layer to the whole process.

    I have access to those things. I have a mate who makes music videos and Phonics has offered to help. It's all in the thread, presumably lost among the utter shit around it.

    What you have said is that you don't want to put too much effort into this. Which is ok, you probably shouldn't, but success rarely comes without effort.

    Yeah, I saw that. Filming something takes a lot more than two persons.

    It's amazing how much you can get for free. The mate with the music videos did this for essentially sod all. All actors were time for print, so not even expenses.



    And got an actual gig with Linkedin on the back of it.
