Two White Doves written by Jen & Meds now released.

Meds · February 14, 2010, 11:29:53 PM

As from a previous thread some if you may know myself and Jen wrote a script for Necropolis studios called Two White Doves. We were given the title some key points and that was it, Jen had a idea that she had started with Chris a while ago and so we decided to build on that.
I'm very proud of the work me and Jen did and this was the email I had this morning.

Hello Everyone!

I have downloaded it and am adding it to my list of fun things to listen too! Yay!

Meds · February 15, 2010, 01:16:49 AM

I've just listened and I have a big smiley face :)

Feathers · February 15, 2010, 01:27:20 AM

Downloaded here too.

I'm off to Wells for again tomorrow/Wednesday so it's in the queue for listening to on the drive. Will it scare me while driving in the dark? ;)

Loaded for the commute.

Nice one, will get this loaded for a listen. :)

Listening now and enjoying it. I love the production values of it.

Jen · February 15, 2010, 11:25:17 AM

I would have done things a little differently with the production, but I'm learning that as writers we have to let go of the work that we pass to other producers and directors. Overall I thought they did a fairly good job with it.

It was fun to write. I'm happy with the story Meds and I wrote. :) I'm looking forward to producing our own scripts in the near future. Jen and Meds Productions has several series in the works. :)

Yeah that's why alot of folks will produce their own work.. more control over the end product.

Congrats to both you and Meds on a job well done.

That's ominous...I'd better not write anything to be produced by others. I'm not sure how well I let go of stuff.

I used to feel the same way Mike, but I have mellowed with time. If I can't fully capture on page the vision I see in my head, I can't fault others for failing to reach it when going off that imperfect page.

That's actually a very good way of expressing it. I'll remember that.

Still saving this story for tomorrow...

One of the things I was referring specifically, was the voice effect on one of the characters. As someone who casts, produces and directs it's difficult to let someone else do that for me. I really love casting...I learned a lot from Angela with regards to that and had specific ideas in mind for directing and voices... :)

I recently heard a novelist in an interview say that when she turns her work over to someone to make into a television show or movie, she has to think of that work as her grandchild, not her child. And she said that as the grandparent to the work, she can't tell the parent how to raise the child. That made perfect sense to me and I'm trying to remember that. :)

Jen · February 18, 2010, 11:22:49 AM

Has anyone listened to the drama? What did you think? :)

moyer777 · February 18, 2010, 11:33:56 AM

I listened! I'm not a fan of horror so the genre was strange to me. I am a fan of you and Meds, so the writing was, pardon the pun, killer! Seriously, the story was really cool. It had sci fi elements in it and that is what I liked about it. The production quality was really good too. It was a bit eerie, and I can't place my finger on why- other than I guess it's supposed to be! The music was really different than I thought it would be, but fit in a classic sort of way.

I think it is really cool to that you guys submitted a great script/story, and must be really cool and at the same time frustrating to see how someone interprets it.
