So will we make a movie?

    I think that few people sitting in the dark cinema did not plot their own movie stories.

    In each of us sits an inventor and a dreamer.
    The dream factory beckons with the beauty of its myths, in which every spectator (even one who can hardly fit in the wide armchair of the cinema) can at least mentally visit the skin of a handsome superhero.
    Of course, any fool can think riches to himself and not out loud. And what about sharing your thoughts with your neighbor ... Or maybe with your distant?
    I have long been eyeing programs for writing screenplays. Just because it's interesting. And there are more than a dozen of such in the world. A common feature - they cost a lot and exist mainly for Windows.
    But you and I heard about other systems!
    So, recently I came across an interesting project called Celtx (Celtics).
    The program is free (Open Source), in addition to Windows it is easy to get used to Linux, it will also like MacOS.
    In fact, it is a text editor for a writer-author of film scripts, theater plays, advertising scripts, creative texts or stories for comics. It contains a complete set of necessary tools for working on the script and individual characters of the story. Provides the ability to save the project as html or pdf.
    This is all wonderful, but one seemed very, very interesting and unique to programs of this kind.
    The authors of the project were not limited to creating just another program (even if it was free and multi-platform).
    The authors of the project created a whole community. Here, anyone can create their own project, on which not one author, but a whole team can work. Projects can be put up for familiarization with the community and create co-author groups. Celtics from my point of view is a promising creative project that will allow many to try their hand at scripting, without focusing on the numerous rules for writing scripts.

    Celtics fully provides the creative process:
    - sketch the idea
    - edit individual scenes / parts
    - compose the parts in the form of convenient index cards
    - connect to the co-authors process
    - draw up the necessary material base (notes, audio, photos, sketches)
    - draw a project storyboard
    - create a project shooting plan


    So, you can download the program (there is also a Russian version) from the website of its creators.

    price - seven meters (7Mb) of traffic.
    Of the shortcomings noted is the lack of classification of projects by language, but the Celtics is young and, I am sure, will grow rapidly.
