Hey Tim

This is a subject dear to my heart … thanks for trying to motivate all and sundry … because it ain’t just the younglings that need a kick.

I got sick of trying to implement structure and labelling on projects and as you say I would just fix stuff instead of sending it back.
RSP was good though … I think I got a good start working on Hunger Games.
I think as a general rule compers think they will be the only ones ever to see their scripts … I couldn’t ever tell them enough that they are part of a team and their scripts needed to be able to be picked up by anybody. The anecdotes about workmates dying or being stabbed and ending up in a coma in hospital were dismissed but were in fact true stories. Many a time I have started scripts and had to hand them off as deadlines approached.
And as comp sup with those same deadlines … and problem scripts, by the time I had figured out what was wrong with a script and rebuilt them the original artist probably couldn’t pick them back up again anyway.

I like reading your stuff it’s like talking to myself … or at the very least I know exactly where you are coming from or have been.

“Chunk and Dot” is my philosophy to a tee … I think I’ll steal that.

Not that I will have the opportunity to espouse it to juniors, I haven’t been working much of late and a lot of that remote, so no chance of that personal old man lecturing … probably be retiring soon.

Anyway fight the good fight Tim, it was a pleasure working with you.
