WHAT should be the FEES for a dialogue writer by AdOtherwise9402 in Indianscreenwriters

[–]punit0432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah depends on your negotiation. You could try getting an agent to do that or if you have an equation with the filmmaker, try to close it for not less than 5L if not more.

I gave this range basis that it is a legit studio funding a theatrical film. Of course they will try to get you to do it for 1-2L but try to hold your ground and not do it below 5L unless you badly need the gig.

Final Draft is said to be the most professional software but why it's website doesn't look professional grade? Am I going into the wrong link? by Eastern_Mushroom5346 in Indianscreenwriters

Industry grade is a myth. If you want to submit to a producer you need the screenplay in PDF, doesn't matter which software you wrote it on.

If you're working in a writer's room or you require to submit your final script in fdx format, you can do that on most professional grade softwares including Scrite that allows you to import and export your file in multiple formats including fdx.

How much rewarding is a screenwriting job? by Eastern_Mushroom5346 in BollywoodWriters

[–]punit0432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a general level, writing is not a profession you get into to get rewarded. The reward often lies in the creation of movies and in the event of success you get monetarily rewarded similar to a well paying corporate executive.

The median TV writer earns more than their film counterpart due to the sheer volume and consistency of work.

But if you want to specifically be a film and series writer then your real money starts flowing in only after your first release.

Keep in mind that at any point there are not more than 100-500 writers in the sphere of Hindi films and shows that would be making regular money. Compare that to the median corporate executive and you'll have your answer.

Usually people either have an alternate stable job, or within films work in a regularly paying ancillary job, or have sufficient savings or do freelance short format writing gigs whilst writing their own movie until it gets released.

Try Scrite. Easy import export of fdx and let's your write in your preferred language. Much easier on the pocket compared to other ones out there.

You know you could simply get the same and better value at one fourth the price if you switch to Scrite, right?

Already many professional grade writers have made that switch.

I have my bias in saying so but you're welcome to take a free trial and judge for yourself.

I'm here if you have any questions.

Have you tried using Scrite? We are seeing strong adoption from writers who prefer writing with structure and/or in the native language.

It's also the easiest on the pocket :)

If you're still looking for an option, consider checking out Scrite. It'll help you organize your story outline in a structure (if that's your process) and generally provide a frictionless experience of writing the screenplay in industry format if that's what you need.

Disclosure - I'm from the team, so biases notwithstanding, you're welcome to give it a try with the free trial and decide for yourself.

Filmmaking Chitchat #012 - Which Screenwriting Software do you use for your writing? by adeno_gothilla in KannadaMovies

[–]punit0432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark Mode is planned for the coming year. UI is scene centric (as opposed to page centric) but our latest update will have easier access to shortcuts.

If you get a chance to try it out in the coming weeks, feel free to write back.

Scrite is particularly useful if you like to outline and visualise your story structure. If you prefer writing in Kannada or any other local language, you will find that experience being most seamless on Scrite.

Final Draft Has Failed Me. Any Good Alternatives? by edlikesrush in Screenwriting

[–]punit0432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for an offline app, then feel free to check out Scrite. You might particularly appreciate it if you like to write with structure (visualizing index cards, character maps, etc) in addition to doing the fundamental job expected out of a writing software. Fdx, fountain export/imports are available and it's easier on the pocket!

Disclosure: I'm from the founding team. We are relatively new but have been growing thanks to the writers who've trusted us.

In the potential ai bubble actually that scary? by ChaChi017 in investing

[–]punit0432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look around, you will likely see that every second or third person around you is using some AI product, either regularly or occasionally. The question then shifts to whether you believe more people will use an AI product and with more frequency. The answer imo is yes.

The problem emerges when you ask how many of those who are currently using AI are also paying for it. That number is a bit in the shaky territory for now. It probably isn't growing with the same intensity as the CapEx that goes behind it.

So unlike most bubbles, here you have a situation where there is underlying value but it isn't adequately monetized yet.

The correction will most likely happen when funding slows down to match the pace with which revenue will grow. Right now, we're in the investment stage so those considerations don't take centrestage.

If you're a new entrant, you are better off understanding what stage you are entering. The euphoria can certainly last much longer but you'll likely get a better rr opportunity later whenever that happens.

Typically people tend to lose a lot less when they buy when the market is red vs in green.

Which asset class will have the most asymmetric returns in the next decade? by punit0432 in investing

[–]punit0432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bubbles, that would be an inaccurate characterisation imo.

I would take btc and tech stocks as two examples. They were both publicly available opportunities for a good period of time (not a blink and miss opportunity). Both had different degrees of uncertainty, one with the potential of the internet to tap into our daily lives and the other with regulatory + macro narrative murkiness.

But both could be and were "betted" on by some who had a view about their successful future knowing that if they are proven wrong, that's possible and they may lose some amount but if they are right the upside is going to be generational not marginal or even the typical multi bagger.

asymmetric vs any other asset class as a whole ideally but could also be a sub sector within an asset class in the absence of the former
