How to Write a TV Pilot Script From Scratch: The Ultimate 8-Step Master Plan | Script Reader Pro

[@swtstream7999]

I think I've got a wonderful story with actors in mind to play the characters.

[@ScriptReaderProLosAngeles]

That's great! Should you be interested in having one of our professionals give you feedback on your script, visit www.scriptreaderpro.com/our-script-coverage-services/

[@alexman378]

If you can somehow get to those actors, they like it and they’re relatively high profile, your odds of getting things going with a studio increase exponentially.

who the fck cares?

I have been working on a animated series for months, I just got the basic plot & what I want to happen and the characters, now I have to make the first episode! Thank you so muchhh Mines gonna be a action one❤️❤️ (Kinda like marvel and or Dc!)

"Show...Don't Tell" Everything you TALKED about in this Video is GREAT... But just talking isn't going to SHOW people that do not know what You're talking about. SHOW a real TV script... Show what industry format is used... Show HOW to write a TV Script first.... etc.... Thank you for sharing this video

[@Miniweet9167]

That’s silly. You don’t show a cereal box to learn how to make cereal.

[@judichristopher4604]

@@Miniweet9167 EXACTLY.... You SHOW How To make the Cereal Box... It is called a Tutorial or a "How To" or a D.I.Y.... NOT just "Talk" about How To make a Cereal Box.

Thanks for the great feedback, Annamay!

[@AdonisMediaProductions]

Great video, indeed the best on youtube regarding this. I subbed to the channel! I did not have a story structure laid out when is started writing my animated comedy pilot, but the whole thing has come to be about 30 pages with act breaks nearly matching in the 3rds portions of the script. I had this story in my head circling for months though, essentially I could see it all in my head unfolding so putting it onto paper was rather streamlined., then ofcourse filling it out was a new experience.

[@theTeslaFalcon]

1) I haven't watched a TV show in years, decades even. (90 hr work weeks don't leave much TV time.) All my shows are from the 90s or before. I've barely heard of any of the shows you referenced. 2) I've been working this story in my head for 30 years. I finally realized today that its open-ended episodic nature would work great as a TV show, but it's hit dead end after roadblock as a novel or movie.

I have a great idea for T.V. series, at least in my opinion, that is a book that was made into a movie way back in the early 2000’s. It would be its own thing while also taking inspiration from both the book as well as the movie that came before it.

I constantly generate random incomplete I guess story concepts but I’m not sure where or how to start with writing 😅 I’ve been a musician my whole life but only recently realizing I’m a creative and feel urged to expand

Its not many black shows out but the majority are comedy, so not a selection for us.

Hi Casee, the industry is heading toward more diversity and inclusion. We encourage you to keep writing the stories that you wish to see on television, as it's how change can come about! Squid Game is making great strides, for example. You may find this video helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-klKuLZcqDY6s
