Tools For Use

I am a Final Draft fan when it comes to script writing software but was introduced to program called Celtx - http://www.celtx.com.  While the script writing part of it may not be quite as intuitive as Final Draft and may take a little bit longer it does have some really cool features that Final Draft does not have.

Celtx is much more indie filmmaker friendly.  It provides options for not only writing but adding story boards and production schedules as well as announcing your work to a community.  I used to make fun of it a bit but retract all those statements for the simple reason of "Shooting Schedule, Storyboard/Shot List Creator and Call Sheets (although I have some very high requirements for my call sheets)."

Oh and did I mention the program is completely free?

The Celsius Effect will still be in development but there is the chance that another film will go into production before it does.  Hopefully be ready in time for a 2009 Halloween Release.
