Thanks for the interview Scott. I'll check in over the next couple of hours if anyone has any questions or comments. Fire away!

Hey Jay, Thanks for the great interview! You mentioned yesterday that your early screenplays were "very static, uncinematic, and staid" and that it took a while for you to truly visualize your scenes. Wondering if you could tell us what got you to that point? Reading screenplays? If so, any recommendations on scripts that were especially influential?

I think it took time to think of scenes as mini-movies with a beginning, middle and end. Once you get past that point, you write a scene and get the mechanics right. What I do then is LOOK at every scene during a cinematic polish. And this where the internet helped immensely. One scene that stands out for me in a script I am writing takes place in a disused manufacturing plant. Using the power of the internet, I was able to look at hundreds of different plants and then use my imagination to put one of those images into my scene. From there I make a conscious effort to put myself inside the scene and look around. I know it sounds cooky, but for me it works. I'm also always looking at the world around me more now. Every time I see a place or location I like, I stick it in mind as a future place to stage a scene. In terms of great visual scripts I have read. email me: jayeden@hotmail.com I have a script where the writer went to a certain location and took the most amazing photos -- which he has embedded in the script. And the script is just brilliant.

Terrific advice. I really like the idea of finding an actual image and then "going inside to look around." Again, thanks for your generosity with the interview and some insights into your process.
