The dio story links were posted here in the dio story section. I think it's in 4 parts
Click
here to read them on my site.
They are also viewable on flickr. So no need to miss out.
As for the character, I had to google cowboy bebop, he's not from that, but i can certainly see why you'd think he was (same genre at least). Lupin is from Castle of Cagliostro animated film. see
here
I guess the process is quite involved. I've got wordpad on my blackberry curve, so if i need to transfer more of the script/scenes with me i can email myself the document, and take it with me. If i'm shooting indoors it doesn't matter. Of course, even without the technology, I used A4 writing paper with a pencil and rubber to draft out scenes.
Essentially i'd like to think even in every one of us exists a good gijoe or action figure story, i think as always people do have a habit of thinking up a good scenario but struggle to piece it together. Putting myself in the 'directors' role and pretending the figures are mini-actors has always been the easiest way it worked for me. If it can work for others on here then I'm game to see what they come up with.
Below is a set of notes and symbols i use for scripts. You can sub any of them for alternative uses or meanings - just do whatever works best for you.
" " - Speech. Pretty Straight forward
* * - Image. sometimes replaced by [IMG] square brackets, I borrowed this one from seeing it on a JPEG forum code thingey
# # - Alt.Angle. Used mostly in action scenes and sometimes followed by the characters abbreviation if it is shot from behind, to the side or from his own P.O.V
One last piece of advice. Do a quick look around on google for character or script writing, even just the basic refresher tutorial helps. I know it helped me alot recently.
Good luck with your project
