The Birth of Fan Screenwriting

Are you ready for fan fiction screenwriters? 

Jazzed about Youtube, the Sci-Fi channel created the Battlestar Galactica videomaker. The website offers free downloads of crucial B-roll material from the hit television show: establishing shots of space stations, enemy bases, and robot armies.

They mix in few seconds of killer space-ship fights as well, giving your average fan a couple million dollars' worth of special effects. You can do the rest, mixing in your actors, your dialogue, and your story into the film. All it takes is a copy of iMovie or some other free editing software.

I love it. Steve Bryant is unimpressed. But seriously, think about the possibilities for fan writers if more television shows released simple video kits like this--a talented fan could have produced a script on par with the most recent Star Wars. They just need the tools... 

How would you tell your story? Check it out:

"Here are dozens of visual, sound and music clips — use them to add impact to the video you shoot. Come back often, because we'll be adding more. The only bit you are required to download and include in your video is our ending clip, which promotes Battlestar Galactica itself."
