Hello People,
I find myself in the same boat as Master Atticus... I've been scripting with Final Draft's general screenplay format but finding an effective Comic Script Template for the program has become a personal obsession. Checked Diggle's website and the promised template is nowhere to be found... Downloaded big Anthony's Template and its giving me fits... Turn me on to a viable download and I'll be your best friend. Thanks.

Re: Help Me Out: Script Template 4 Final Draft?
Sun, June 11, 2006 - 6:12 PMComic book scripts are mostly just notes passed from the write to the artist. I've seen many different ways of writing them.
Basically what you want to do though is let them know which page you are on, which frame, and how you want the text to look. <a href="Heres" title="fourcolorheroes.home.insightbb.com/killingjokescript.html">Heres">fourcolorheroes.home.insightbb.com/killingjokescript.html">Heres an Alan Moore Script, or part of it anyway</a>
You want to be real descriptive but let the artist have freedoms. There is no set formula or anything. Some writers sketch the panels out on page and then just hand them to the artist and ask them to go from there, but that only works if you can sketch okay.
I try to just read scripts when ever I can, some comics have them in the back and you can always buy books like Panel One, which display scripts for your studying pleasure. -
