If you don't already have Celtx, then I advise you first download it, and then google screenwriting, in order to learn about the conventions of screenwriting, and how to use them yourself. It's actually very easy, and Celtx will do all the tedious formatting work for you.

This is a game to help people to get acquainted with Celtx screenwriting software. It's free, and it's easy to use.

How to play:
Download script. Add a scene. Upload script.

A cool thing about Celtx is that it lets us all work on the same script. I have uploaded a stub of a script that I have named Gone Fishin', to the Celtx server. All you have to do is:
  • Open Celtx
  • Log into the Clock Crew account (user: clockcrew, password: fifen)
  • Select "download project"
  • Wait for the projects to load
  • Sort by name
  • Find Gone Fishin'
  • Load it, click close on the dialog box once it's loaded.
Then add a scene to the practice script, and upload your changed script. Post here after you've updated the script (to let us know that it's changed). We'll take it in turns (that means, wait until at least one person has added something new, before adding a further piece of your own).

 Eventually we will end up with one very strange, but possibly interesting/amusing script. The main thing is just that we practice using Celtx.

Maybe the dialog box is hidden behind some other window. Try minimizing everything but Celtx.

And, are you using the latest version of Celtx (not that that should have any effect on your ability to log in)?

I can log in through my web browser,but the log in button through celtx isn't working.

Were you logged in as clockcrew, and did you click "close" after it loaded?

VCRClock

I put in a part, and added little Notes to show where my bit started and ended.
<Marlin Clock> This thread seems proof positive that divisiveness at any level is usually bad for the Clock Crew.
<PhantomCatClock> are we talking about the same clock crew

AmberArachnidClock

I'm gonna download it again
EDIT: done

The Spoiler

I added to it, put notes for beginning and end of my part.

AmberArachnidClock

by the way, nice strangeclock joke, whoever put that on there.

SpriteRemixClock

I added a short cliche'd dialogue between OrangeClock and PineappleClock discussing the previously mentioned thing that defies the laws of physics.

This is an amazing program and thank you for introducing me to it. I already knew about screenplay writing but I used to have to format everything manually.

I added a scene. I wanted to add more scenes, but I didn't.
