RE: Your Segments

Writers,

Twelve of you, huh? Alright, then -- let's get to work. Note that anything you hand in to Creative should be done in a script format for our production crew to figure out, easily. It should be simple. In your assignments, when you want someone to say something, put their lines in quotes and their actions in parentheses. In order to get your vision, you gotta be clear about whatever you want to see on screen. Here's an excerpt from last show's script:

------------------------

(Cue Revolver theme. Johnny Revolver takes to the stage with a microphone in hand, eyeing Hale who looks completely unimpressed inside in the ring.)

Johnny: "Well, look who decided to crawl out from under his rock, Miami! Captain 'Daddy Issues' over there finally decided to grow a set and call me out. Well, here I am, Hale. Now, I must look a little different to you not having my back turned and all, and after what you pulled last week? You can bet your ass I'm looking to that kick that head of yours right into the fourth row."

(Hale arches an eyebrow and snickers to himself. His smirk grows even smirkier as he paces around the ring like a predator eyeing its prey.)

Hale: "Always the valiant hero, aren't we, Johnny? Well, make no mistake -- I don't hide underneath rocks. I don't skulk around like some kind of rat. What I do, is plan. Calculate. And just like always, you've proven yourself to be completely and utterly predictable..."

------------------------

See that? Simple. And for the love of God, no writing in the fans' reactions, please. Just 'cause you write that crowd loves it doesn't mean they will. Let the workers worry about the crowd. What I need from all of you is a roadmap for the guys in the ring to follow. Get it? Good. Now, all of your will be jumping in for the next episode of Carnage, get familiar with the process. When they're sent in, the rest of Creative along with myself will be sifting through your newbie bullshit, so you better make it good. For this show and all future ones, you'll be competing with another one of your fellow interns, and whoever writes the better segment is the one we're going to air. Worst writer of that show goes home, just like that. Finally, note that you'll be getting feedback from us AND the workers after the show, so remember who you're writing for. Here's our criteria for judging:

1.) Clarity - No dilly-dallying when it comes to paying for TV time. Did your segment properly put over the angle or workers we assigned you? You better hope so.
2.) Accuracy - These guys have been busting their asses before you got in the door. Treat them with respect and read to the road agents' advice in their bios if you need help.
3.) Entertainment Value - We're in show business. Keep us engaged in your writing, or go to Orlando.

Don't fuck this up. There's a million sad, lonely fucks on the internet who'd kill to do this job.
