Commericals

I am considering spending a portion of my SF time creating commercials for a non-profit.

Where can I get additional info on formatting for commercial scripts?

RE: Commericals

Here are some samples for you.
As you'll see, format is not a very big thing in scripting TVC's.
Storyboarding, on the other hand, is much more common.

SF08: Shooting - Comedy

Good luck to you all.

RE: Commericals

Thank you so much; these examples were very helpful!

However, I wonder if the lack of formatting means that commercials will not be considered within the parameters of SF's guidelines? Since in order to "win" you must submit 100 formatted scripted pages.

RE: Commericals

Graphic novels and comic books use storyboards (I'm sure there's a different name for them, but it's the same basic concept, isn't it?); as I understand it, they don't have formatted "scripts." If graphic novels and comic books count, so should commercials.
