How we doing all?
Lovely day to be on the computer int it?
Just thought i'd say hello now that I have something more complete to post for your consideration. In the eyes of the good Mark and Aaron, I've been 'lurking' about like a hoodie not contributing a jot to your society - that is until now!
Writing wise what I'm really interested in is mixing subtle reactionary moments with visual stuff. Add a sprinkling of emotional resonance. Give people a reason to watch the next one.. Viola! Well, thats the idea anyway, hmm, wish it was that easy!!
Just finished reading the full Alan Partridge scripts, what struck me was the blend of dialogue detail and visceral humour (who can forget the shrine to Alan?) which was consistently put out by the team. Great yardstick for modern comedy for me.
I've now finished the first episode of my sitcom based in a barbers on the south coast. 50 pages on the beeb format. What do i know about my chosen subject? Luckily, my mum doesn't cut my hair so I've been frequenting barbershops every 6 weeks for well over a decade now! You pick up ideas!
The setting is more of a vehicle for the characters, allowing the main man in particular to spout his twisted logic at the punters.
Of course, i'd like some commentary from people! So will stick on a few scenes later for you all..
Nice to finally clear the throat and get involved here anyway!
PS.
Anyone know if Desmond is still alive for a brief cameo?!
