I know, I know – I’m *just a composer* and not supposed to care about this – but I’ve got a script in mind and have been looking around at the solutions out there. I thought about using an MS Word template – and Julie uses Screenwriter which I considered, so we could send files back and forth and review each other’s work. But this seems like a much more robust (and extensible) solution. And it’s FREE!

There’s also a lot of options for collaboration and secure backups online – it seems they’ve really thought through the ways to leverage current technologies to make this approach really work. The creative and the geek in me are summarily impressed. I wish that I would have made this discovery *before* I started the industrial video project in my studio. This beats the HELL out of doing everything with an Excel spreadsheet.

I’ve got to give props to my friend Luis Sinibaldi for recommending this on his blog. Thanks, Luis!
