I have produced two Bibles for different shows - both presented in Powerpoint: In this way I can not only describe the shows in text, but also in pictures, giving some additional content to the characters, their look and feel, the story world, etc. I took this idea from the bible for Westworld. It seems to work. Both shows have piqued the interest of investors and producers.

That's great, Larry! We wish you the best of luck with your projects

Really!!! That is amazing. How did you the "idea" from the Bible for "Westworld" ? Did you actually SEE the "Westworld" Series Bible?

@LarryButchins 3 месяца назад

@@judichristopher4604 Hi Judi - yes, I actually have the Westworld Bible and the format is pretty straightforward. It's the text and graphics which add the "wow".

8:49 EXCELLENT EXAMPLE I was always told 5 paragraphes... This is a perfect example.

@judichristopher4604 3 месяца назад

Corrections... I was told 5 ACTS

@LarryButchins 3 месяца назад

Depends on what you're pitching: a TV series or a feature. A feature is traditionally 3 acts (but it could be more depending on your content/plot). A series is obviously longer, but what you were told about 5 paragraphs is part of the structure of a good PowerPoint presentation (which is the best way to present your pitch, I believe) - essentially each slide should be no longer than 5 paragraphs *bullet points) each of 5 words! If you can achieve that, it's concise and to the point.

@judichristopher4604 2 месяца назад

@@LarryButchins Excellent points... but When doing a Series Bible and you're describing each main character... only using 5 words I think would be hard to do.

EXCELLENT VIDEO... Thank you for sharing this video Question: Would I also do the same thing if I was writing a Limited MiniSeries?

@trollgamer1618 2 года назад

Hey man, if you could, can you make a video on making the story more unique? I'm writing a script but it almost seems identical to another story. I tried eliminating some stuff to make it less similar but I need some parts to keep the story good. Thanks.

@mattherbert873 Год назад

Would you create a bible for features if it’s a series. Like Star Wars or Harry Potter (if it went straight to movie format) or would you write out evert feature?

@matthewscorner2990 Год назад

I have a question regarding episode summaries. Do they have to be season 1 episodes? Or could you maybe provide summaries for episodes from across the show's runtime to sort of show the progression of things? Like the pilot of season 1, the end of season 1, the start of season 2, the end of season 2, etc.

@judichristopher4604 3 месяца назад

That would be very confusing to someone that does not know your "Ideas"... S1E1 +

@ns15official26 Год назад

Question 1: is one sheet and log line in one page? Question 2: should I write the main things of the story (beginning,twist,sad,ending) in one sheet. Question 3: is one sheet and story same?

@ScriptReaderProLosAngeles Год назад

Hello! A one-sheet is one page, while a logline is one sentence. The one-sheet is essentially the synopsis, which you can read about more here: www.scriptreaderpro.com/how-to-write-a-synopsis/

@tarkantruman430 2 года назад

Why they say "Bible"? :)

@ScriptReaderProLosAngeles 2 года назад

Hi Tarkan, that's a great question! In general, the term may come from it being the most valuable "book" when it comes to your television show. We hope you found the video helpful!

@japhettorrefranca8077 5 месяцев назад

why do you call this the "BIBLE". this term should be exclusively used only on a religious context

@Kaizomusicofficial 4 месяца назад

It’s been called Bible for decades. This is a standard term. It originally had no religious meaning. It literally means “the book”

@judichristopher4604 3 месяца назад

When someone says "That is the Bible Book, that means it is the most important book... #1 Book... YES... we know the Original Bible is the !1 Book...

@japhettorrefranca8077 2 месяца назад

@@KaizomusicofficialBIBLION is a greek term referred to the books from religious text particularly the Christian books. This term was widely used in 386 CE. so unless you also used that term before 386 CE then you have the right to claim that it has no religious connotation. you Americans must learn to appropriate words and terms since you are aware of your own anglo saxons. Again this term “Bible” is wrongly appropriated. better call it something else.
