Animation Writers/Directors: Question:

[DarkWriter31]

(This may be in the wrong place.)

I'm "developing" my self as a screenwriter and I was wondering what an animation script reads and/or looks like?

I've read other movie scripts and I've written eight so far, some short and a few longer ones, so I know what most of them look like. Do animation scripts follow a similar format?

Also, how does one get into writing for animation?

I think most people in animation would tell you that an animation "script" should actually be a storyboard cos it's a visual medium...

However these days script based stuff is definitley more prevalent. Basically it would be the same as a film script.

I remember a couple of columns I read on wordplayer a while back that might be of some use to you.

Here's one on top of my head that deals with animation.

As for a spec. script I guess traditional structure is preferable as anything else seems to go down the trashcan.
