Clock Crew

If you don't already have Celtx, then I advise you first download it (http://www.celtx.com/), and then google screenwriting (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-38,GGGL:en&q=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. (http://pc.celtx.com/project/YwBMCD0D9f4P/view/http://my.celtx.com/res/9pSwGS5dXh5a)

I keep pressing log in and nothing comes up

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.

Wo, this seems really cool, im downloading now.

EDIT: Damnit, it wont open.

I changed it

I'ma get in on this after I get home... which is in about 10 days :(

I downloaded, extracted and everything seemed to be working fine. I clicked on it a bunch of times and it loads then nothing comes up, the damn thing wont open!

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

I put in a part, and added little Notes to show where my bit started and ended.

I'm gonna download it again
EDIT: done

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

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

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.

Sounds like fun, DL'n

Added a slightly lame scene between Pineapple and Carmelapple

Added a scene where GreyClock meets his demise MWAHAHAHAHA

added a little. This is a great way to kill time.

I added a bit of eggcup walking home.

I downloaded, installed it, then tried to start the program, but it gave me some error every time I tried. Both for the English and Dutch versions. :(

Oh shit, what error?

We should do these every week.
Makes me sad I can't join in the fun :(

Thanks for my part :D.

You can check up on the script here, without having to download it in editing mode.

edit: guess it doesnt stay the same

Quote from: LeekClock;624837Oh shit, what error?

Translating ineptly:

This application can not be run because MSVCP71.dll can't be found. Reinstalling this application may solve this problem.

It doesn't, I just rebooted, re-downloaded and reinstalled when I got this error again. Poo.

I changed it, but can't upload it.

Added another scene. :D

This is a fantastic program! This'll be great for my collaborative writings!

I'm excited to participate. You should get my entry in a few minutes.

My cunning plan is to get people enamoured with Celtx and then have a screenwriting contest.

Thats what happened to me, you click on the icon, and it wont open, but I checked my processes, and it told me it was open, wtf? Im hungry for pizza goddamnit.

I'm done my first bit. That was fun.

Have you not read the rest of the script. Look how others make the spoken lines. Its not

Person: Says something

its

             Person
      Says Something


There is a drop down menu at the top that lets you switch between how to type something. thx.

Also, I would like to write something lol but I am lost. Maybe its because I am tired but it looks like a tarentino film where scenes just keept switching for no reason. I'll go have a reread of it though.

EDIT: Just updated a scene. Sorry had to throw myself in there.

This is awesome. I'm going to practice a bit before I give some input.

i know mine was different but i couldnt find the option to center the text. sory:P

Quote from: berimbau;626152i know mine was different but i couldnt find the option to center the text. sory:P

That's not how it works. There's no text alignment options, it's aligned according to the type of text. Character, Dialog, Action, Scene Heading... it makes script writing a dream.

I updated it.

How long is this going to become before it starts getting animated? I imagine this thing could easily go on for a long time (too long) without an end in sight.

Or is it getting animated at all?

Do I hear "collaboration"?

It's probably too long for one person to animate, and a collaboration suck because it needs one person's vision to make it work. Maybe it'd be good if it had a director.

For example, some scenes are just terrible (NO OFFENSE LOLZ), but they would be fucking hilarious if given the right spin.

I'd say just leave this one as a practice script, but use this technique perhaps to make future scripts - but with more of a structure/plan in mind beforehand.

There are some candidates for deletion, I think. :3 Deleted scenes or no, animating this would be an enormous undertaking, and the outcome would be pretty difficult to understand due to the bizarre simultaneously every-man-for-himself and collaborative nature of the script.

Edit I just finished yet another scene or two. :thumbs:

i just added an completely unrelated scene apart from one line that referances the story or something

points for guessing where my scene is from

congratulations you ruin everything

Quote from: SpriteRemixClock;631804congratulations you ruin everything

hahaha delete it if you want

Is this still going on or did it stop?

People stopped writing, it seems, but it's still open. Please continue to add to it!

you should put it back on the top as a quick link.

Updated with a new scene.

Aaugh! I'm a psychopath and Rupee is gay over me! Someone kill off Rupee quick!

Quote from: Satellite;658200Aaugh! I'm a psychopath and Rupee is gay over me! Someone kill off Rupee quick!

That part seemed like a good idea at the time.  =O

i aded something.

I don't think I'm much of a writer and I can barely keep up with the current plot, but I added a twist of events regarding the thing with Rupee and Satellite.

I added a small little part with Uranium and Rupee in the hospital's Hallway. But I dont know how to update the Download file so it's just wasting away in my docs.

I'll take part.

Reading story now, I'll add a scene then.

Added my part.
THE PLOT THICKENS

I really hate to post three times in a row, but we should get this thing finished.
I'd love to see this made into a movie with each part animated by someone else (and then connected into one movie).  It be strange, but it'd also be really interesting to see the end result.

Added a part where the Creature kills off two lover clocks..

Quote from: Lizardcoolz;808916Added a part where the Creature kills off two lover clocks..

Did you upload it to the server?  I downloaded it, but I don't see anything added by you.

Also, I wish more people would contribute and finish this off.

Oh whoops didn't see that part about the uploading i'll right on it. And there we are there would be my part.

You're a LITTLE late, sugar-pie. The last post in this thread was made in May; I'm pretty sure the competition is over..

Sorry, but how do you upload to the server?

Nevermind, I uploaded

Gonna try and add to dis tomorrow, I might have CeltX buried away on my laptop

hi 2006.

I'M BUMPING A STICKY, ARREST ME
