    I export scripts as PDFs in Final Draft 6, but I have Acrobat Pro. Does Movie Magic have PDF exporting built in?

    The eBay Muppet Knock-off Thread

    I just looked at the Kermit auction - that's hilarious. It's right up there with the "professional counting vampire puppet". If nothing else, you have to admire the creativity in the item descriptions.

    The eBay Muppet Knock-off Thread

    Suppoedly they're already aware of this and it's ultimately their responsibility to do something about the problem so I think people shouldn't get too worked up about it. Both SW and Disney pay lots of lawyers lots of money to worry about this kind of stuff.

    Bear Town: The Open Puppet Movie Project

    Well, I think most of the production won't be shot individually by people. Like you say, that just creates too many problems with lighting, image quality, etc. I forgot to mention that I want this to be high def (although shot on HDV, which a lower-end version of high-def) but there's various...

    Bear Town: The Open Puppet Movie Project

    Hi all, I know the idea of collaborative videos and films - like the cool new "10 Second Club" people have started up - have been kicking around for quite awhile and I've been dying to put together a relatively ambitious "Open Puppet Movie Project". The idea behind an open movie is that the...

    script writing program

    You really should give the Final Draft (or Movie Magic) demo a try. I don't know if you need to / want to write in proper TV or film script format but most once people get used to using a script writing program they love it and don't go back. Cost is a factor of course, but then RoughDraft is a...

    Is Movie Magic cheaper? Sorry, I'm just being lazy and not looking it up myself.

    Famous PEOPLE Players Dine & Dream Theatre They're still open, but their business model is fairly unique. They're non-profit, not a private businesses for starters and rely extensively on donations and also tour. As I mentioned before, they were also coming from a position where they were an...

    My Business Idea: A REAL Muppet Show

    You know a Second City style thing would be good and much cheaper than an actual dinner theatre and a good way to start. The alcohol is where all the money is made, so you'd want to serve that along with a limited menu. Maybe something like the Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, where you watch a movie...

    Build-A-Elmo

    BJ, Sesame Workshop has a very specific educational mandate. They're not in the business of doing shows for adults. Because they're a not-for-profit there's tons of strings on the funding they receive so I doubt they could do something like that, even if they wanted to. I do think classic...

    My Business Idea: A REAL Muppet Show

    Creatively, I think this is a fantastic idea. Financially, it's very challenging. I worked in both the artistic and management side of what is probably the world's only dinner theatre devoted to puppet theatre in the 1990s. Based on that experience, I'd say that the idea is certainly...

    Build-A-Elmo

    I think one the reasons Elmo is so prominent is because they discovered that the average age of the show dropped. Their only goal is to educate their target audience and I think Elmo is one of those characters that does that really well. I miss the Sesame Street of childhood. :( Here's hoping...

    I think Final Draft is still a great suggestion Faze. I love Final Draft. I did a writing workshop with Brian Michael Bendis (the comics writer) a few years ago and got it because he was raving about how much he loved it. Before I used Final Draft I used to use RoughDraft. Forget the free...

    Storytelling & puppetry

    Seinfeld wasn't about nothing, it was just written to seem that way. It's one of the most brilliantly written sitcoms of all time. There was nothing random in the entire show. I there's an enormous amount of craft behind a lot of seemingly random humour. If you watch really great comedians...
