But that just me. Or have u 2 see the scripts written by William Monahan. "The Departed" for example. He has overdone the capitalizing character name thing.

It was so informative. Actually, i am 3D Animator and involved in making of a 3D animation movie based on bible stories. The output is going to be of international standard and hence i wanted a foreign script writer to be involved. The end product is going to be marketed internationally. Can you please guide me. Regards, Stalin Hi Ghosh,

If you want to use a screenwriter who has written several hit and superhit Bollywood movies, their rate start from $9,000 (Rs 420,000); and for experienced Hollywood writers the rate starts from $20,000 (Rs 920,000). Hope that answers your question. Regards, Pinaki Ghosh Dear Stalin,

Kumar Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:44:30 +0000 http://www.thescreenplaywriters.com/blog/?p=73#comment-77 Dear Sunil, you are absolutely right. Character names are capitalized only when the character is introduced. Beyond that, they are naturally capitalized when they have dialogue, but not in the "Screen Action" section. If they were to be capitalized throughout the screenplay, you would imagine Final Draft in version 8 would have made that automatic! I am a produced screenwriter, so you can definitely trust me on this one. Cheers. Dear Sunil, you are absolutely right. Character names are capitalized only when the character is introduced.
