Writing a NiGHTS Screenplay

Writing a NiGHTS Screenplay

Postby MagicPickleFairy on Thu Jan 29, 2009 5:35 pm

I know that many people want to see NiGHTS in other forms of motion media besides Video Games. Just so you know, I am not making a NiGHTS movie. I am only writing a screenplay, so I can give fans the image of if NiGHTS was a movie.

I will have no rights to this script, I will not submit it to anyone. This is basically a fanfiction in screenplay format.

It's a long process to write a screenplay. I will list it here.

1.(Rewritten) Sequence list: A basic outline of each sequence that will happen in the screenplay.

2. (Finished) Beat Sheet: A complex outline, pretty much the screenplay with no dialogue.

3. (Finished) Screenplay: The finished product.

If anyone is interested in giving me critique, please Email me! I will attach you the files of what I'm working on!

If you have ideas, please share. The basic synopsis is about NiGHTS' rebellion and the story of Elliot and Claris. I am also conflicting to refer to NiGHTS as, "he" or "she" when not around Elliot or Claris.

That sounds awesome!
You can get around the he or she thing by just using NiGHTS' name sometimes.

"NiGHTS landed and looked around. The Nightmaren saw a lake. NiGHTS stepped closer to look into the water, and saw a silver fish. NiGHTS laughed, considering the little animal to be quite a strange sight."

If you really must use a gender term, try to alternate between he and she.

I once went around mentioning gender for a short fanfiction, it was very difficult XD. I guess I will have to not mention gender when NiGHTS is not around Elliot or Claris. Although my plan is when NiGHTS meets the kids, then NiGHTS gender will be what gender the Dreamer is.

To explain in more detail, NiGHTS is loyal to Wizeman in Act 1, but in the begging of the screenplay NiGHTS has been feeling like stealing Ideya is wrong. NiGHTS emotionally broke down in front of Random Dreamer #2. (#1 got her single Ideya stolen.) Reala sees NiGHTS breakdown, and tells the companion that next time Reala sees NiGHTS break down, Reala will tell Wizeman. (Oh, Reala, you tattle tale.)

I do have more written down, but this will be one long post if I wrote down everything that in the sequence list so far. I am trying to make up as little characters as possible. The one exception is Sophia, who is a major characters. She is a bully who intimidates Claris.

It all sounds good so far, I'd like to see this when you get closer to finishing.

Thanks SiLK! I am beyond the middle of the Sequence List. I am very excited about writing the Beat Sheet.

So far, it isn't that good, but I will make changes once I come up with ideas to make it more dramatic. I have given Reala two Dreamers for one idea. Another is that Jackle is jealous of NiGHTS and Reala for having Dreamers, so he is taking one of NiGHTS' Dreamers. The last is that when Elliot and Claris finds out that NiGHTS is a Nightmaren.

Hey, Pickle! You know if you ever want any help/critique, I'm here for ya! (And if you didn't know, you do now.)
Sounds interesting though. I think I'll agree with SiLK on the whole 'I'd love to see it when you've got it closer to completion' thing.
Much luck to you!

Thanks Lady Spritzy! I have put my Sequence list up in public...or my scraps on Deviantart. I am encouraging advanced critiques.

http://magic-pickle-fairy.deviantart.com/art/NiGHTS-the-Movie-Sequence-List-111608297

Yeah, it's very bad, but that's what its suppose to be as a first draft...bad! It will be better once I rewrite it.

I will not post my Beat Sheet or screenplay on Deviantart.

Since double posting is bad I'll put up the message here:

I am making a silly little preview thing for YouTube. I am doing this for two reasons:

1. People want to voice act for this, and since I don't have to power to acctually make this into a movie, I'll do a preveiw instead.

2. Because I feel like it.

I am only making voice acting offers for Dreams for the Fandom along with a few other friends. If you have a microphone and want to do it, then act away.

If you want to volunteer to voice act, just Email me at MagicPickleFairy@gmail.com with your Dream for the Fandom name, and what part you want to be. There is NiGHTS, Claris, Elliot, Jackle, Reala, Gillwing and Puffy. Then I will Email you a short, one and a quarter page script, along with details. This is really a parody of previews really.

can I be Reala? :3

NiGHTS left Nightmare for good reasons. One is that they have a techno rave every 10 seconds, for 1 hour. Talk about annoying.

At this rate the next Sonic game will be: Sonic and the White Gladiaders

I'll happily try out, I do a pretty good NiGHTS, but I can also play any other role you need if you find someone better :)

The Beat Sheet is finished with the first draft. I will edit for grammar and post it in parts under scraps on Deviantart. I have posted it here: http://magic-pickle-fairy.deviantart.com/art/NiGHTS-Beat-Sheet-Act-I-113428293

As most of you already know, I have made a preview, which really has nothing to do with the screenplay itself, but does give it some publicity.

I really hate to double post, but I would like to release to news that my first draft of the Screenplay is finished.

I have sent PDFs to SiLK, LadySpritzy and Musashi HUmar, who hae expressed interest in the screenplay. If you would like one, please contact me.
