The Culture Grind: Hollywood Gets a Reboot

Hey guys!! Here's our latest installment of The Culture Grind, which is The Minaret's pop culture news video blog. I'm the scriptwriter for this show, and we're just getting started, so I would really appreciate it if y'all could take a look at it. Thanks!! :)

Hey everyone!

I'm not sure how many of you guys are using Adobe Story, but I think I overheard someone say that they were and wished that Story had shortcuts. Well, actually, they do, and I find them to be really helpful, so I thought I'd might as well post them here.

Shortcut Key Strokes for Adobe Story:
Ctrl 1--Scene Heading
Ctrl 2--Action
Ctrl 3--Character
Ctrl 4--Parenthetical
Ctrl 5--Dialog
Ctrl 6--Transition
Ctrl 7--Shot
Ctrl 8--General

Hope this helps!!!

If anyone is interested in my work...

I've started posting some of my films that I've completed for my SIM class last semester to THIS blog.

Also, as far as screenwriting goes...

For several years I've been working on a screenplay on and off. This particular copy is of the first re-write. I therefore acknowledge that it's quite imperfect in many ways and the technique and format is off as well. That said, I think it is an enjoyable story, many others have read and enjoyed it so far, I hope you do too.

If you happen to read it and have any critique, tips, comments, hate it... whatever you feel, feel free to comment and thanks in advance.
