Script consultant UK – script writing samples – pro scriptwriter for hire

12th December 2024 @matcoop 0

A lot of people offer this sort of service, including some very questionable anonymous reader services (why would you pay someone to read your script not knowing what experience they have?)…   Anyways,  I always try give advice from a the point of view of someone who has pro credits and has worked in the trenches for quite a bit.

For ages, I’ve been meaning to put a load of my TV work on a page here on this website,  it’s easier to do now, with shows like Emmerdale uploading old eps to YouTube.

So, I had a quick look online today and found a ton of my old credits.  Which you can see below.

PRO SCRIPTWRITER TRANSLATION SERVICE – AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE DIALOUGE FIX

10th December 2024 @matcoop 0

Hey – this isn’t a normal translation service for scriptwriters (I don’t do that). This is an English translation service for pro scriptwriters (or at least very serious screenwriters who don’t have English as a first language).
When you write a screenplay in your native tongue – and then get it translated to English – a hell of a lot can be lost in the translation.

Thanks to the lovely people at Research & Innovation Centre | XPLOR – which is one of the leading virtual production centres in the world and part of the Film & TV, Virtual Production Skills Bootcamp | Academy of Live Technology – who train students on the latest cutting edge virtual production techniques – I managed to get myself on an intensive eight week training course on VP and I even got to use one of their stages to whip up a short student film (shot entirely in a few hours) which you can see below.

Your script won’t sell – but it might get optioned – what is an option in script writing terms? Ask the Script Consultant UK.

As the busiest UK script consultant and script writer for hire on the World Wide Web, I get a lot of rookie scriptwriters asking me about how to sell their feature film script. Well, let me tell you, that most scripts don’t sell–even the ones that get made–they get optioned.  And in the UK–you’re not going to be able to make a living from having scripts optioned – in fact, you’ll be lucky if you can pay your rent for one month from the average option deal.
