The four scripts had no next step. Everything after "read them" lived in the
API and nothing on the page reached it.
The choice of head writer is the author's, and it is a judgement about concept
rather than a score, so it is a button on each tab rather than a leaderboard.
Naming the lead first also changes what the reviews are for: three models
arguing about how to fix THIS script is a more useful argument than three
models arguing about whose is better.
Reviews are split the way they come back - errors are things that are wrong
and are worth fixing, suggestions are matters of judgement, and "keeps" is
what a revision must not quietly remove. The author's shot notes outrank all
of it and the revise button says so.
Film is priced and gated on having a storyboard, because every shot needs an
opening frame to film from.
The draw button is live and priced from what that writer actually wrote -
three sheets a character plus an opening and a closing frame a shot - so a
14-shot trailer costs $3.33 and a 30-shot one costs more, rather than both
being quoted an average.
Cast sheets render as head/front/side, because they are the thing that stops a
face drifting between shots and the author should be able to reject a face
before seventy pictures are drawn from it.
Progress is per picture rather than a spinner: drawing takes minutes and a
spinner that might mean "working" or "hung" is worse than a count.
Reading a trailer tells you what happens; hearing it tells you the line is
four seconds too long and the grandmother sounds thirty. So the play button
ships before the draw button - speaking a whole trailer costs fractions of a
cent against five dollars to draw it - and it prints the spoken length against
the length the writer planned, which is the most common fault in these scripts.
The note box saves as you stop typing. A note you have to remember to save is
a note that gets lost when you switch tabs.
The draw button is priced from what the writer actually wrote - three sheets a
character plus an opening and a closing frame a shot - rather than from an
estimate, and is disabled until that stage lands.
