Books and VFX

from Scriptnotes Podcast

John and Craig look at visual effects from both a creative and budgetary perspective. From set extensions to blue screens, the guys discuss the hidden costs and tricks of post-production. We also cover the options screenwriters have when optioning books. We cover formal (and less-formal) arrangements, loose adaptations and answer a listener question on making shorts. In our bonus segment for premium members, we share our experiences with nightmares and the secret behind Craig’s anti-monster spray.
