A complete Treatment

Finally! I just finished a treatment that seemed to take forever. It seemed that no matter how long I applied by brain to this current story I'm working on I couldn't progress quick enough. The problem there is that I have a deadline by the end of today. I would think up stuff to place i act one, subplot material I couldn't go into depth with, and visual direction I wanted to sneak into the material.

Looking back, I realize that it's simply not how I work. I'm not usually quick on my feet when it comes to jokes, comments, anything! So naturally, it takes me a while to come up with ideas that gel and think up scenes to transition between acts. Keeping in mind that I wrote the treatment in a total period of around one day, maybe it just seemed to take long when the time was ticking.

To conclude this rant, I'd like to pass along that there's no greater feeling than having a complete treatment to a story you want to tell - and I think its because you can sell a treatment! :)

Of course, this draft is a basic draft that I'll have to revise a bit in order to balance out the material and pack the thematic punches where they count but all in all, it's another step toward "fade to black".
