For example, if a character is speaking again after they just spoke, you would use a parenthetical next to their name that looks like this: JOHN WAYNE (CONT’D), which is short for “continued.” Parentheticals are also used for housekeeping purposes. Parentheticals can be used between a character’s name and their dialogue to inform that dialogue or between sections of a character’s dialogue to indicate a change in tone or action. Third Rule: Formatting Parentheticalsīut what if you want to indicate that something a character is saying is not what they feel? That’s where parentheticals come in. Plus, unless you are directing the project yourself, directors and actors will typically be the ones to decide the inner thoughts of their characters on the day of filming or in the moment anyway. This will not only slow down the reader but could very well turn them off completely, as many people who read your screenplay will be well-versed in the Hollywood way of doing things – including ditching things they feel waste their time. If you spend a lot of page count describing what viewers won’t be able to see, you will write something drastically longer than what the final product will be. One screenplay page is usually equivalent to one minute of screen time, give or take. That’s because page space on a screenplay is precious. You must limit your description in your action lines to only things the viewer can see or hear in the movie itself. (Quick note – when I introduce a new term, in action lines or dialogue, it will be in bold): Here’s an example scene I wrote introducing the above rules, along with a few more. It’s easiest to visualize in the context of a scene, and since I’m assuming you already have a screenplay software you plan to use or will be buying or downloading one after this article, I’ll go ahead and show you what it looks like in context: Example of If not, a word processor can center character names relatively easily, but the dialogue is a bit trickier.Ī character’s dialogue reads below the Character’s name, also centered but within a wider margin. When a character speaks, their name will be ALL CAPS and CENTERED in the middle of the page, which screenwriting software should do for you automatically. If a character is introduced for the first time, their name should be in ALL CAPS to let the reader know they are a new character. Now how to introduce and format characters. Second Rule: Formatting Characters and Dialogue Begin setting the scene by briefly describing the location, along with whatever character and starting action is driving the top of the scene. Underneath the slugline, the rest of the scene will take place. Here’s an example of a very simple slugline: Unlike theater scenes, which (mostly) limit themselves to one singular place and continuous action, films can jump around in space and time easily, which is why scene headings, referred to in shorthand as slug lines, are used to divide up screenplay scenes by location.īecause slug lines are formatted universally, a screenplay reader can easily jump around any script and find their place in the story. However, the screenplay format is unique because the settings and locations can change anytime. Screenplay format is similar to play formatting, which features different line formatting rules for characters, dialogue, and stage descriptions. This is, so any person in any stage of production will know what they are reading when they refer back to a script. These certain formatting elements, like scene headings, character headings, dialogue, and transitions, are unique to the visual nature of screenplays.īecause screenplays are used as a blueprint that the entire film crew uses to inform their creative decisions, they must be written in a visual language that is universal in style and format. Screenplay format refers to the formatting of a document that makes a screenplay a screenplay, not a book, short story, play, or some other type of writing. If you haven’t, you are probably wondering: What is screenplay format, and how do you write in it? If you’ve read or written a screenplay, you will likely be familiar with screenplay format. ![]() PLEASE READ THE FULL DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO. "I" IN THIS CASE MEANS THE OWNER OF FILMDAFT.COM.

Visiting: TWM SIôN CATI, TREGARONĮngland has its Robin Hood Wales has Twm Siôn Cati, born in Tregaron, midwest Wales, circa 1530. Happen by on a moonlit night and you might just glimpse an ethereal figure dressed in green on the castle’s ramparts, looking longingly toward the hamlet of Brithdir for the lover who would never again hold her in his embrace. Understandably outraged, Gilbert had Gruffudd killed and Alice died of a broken heart. But it seems Gilbert’s bloodthirsty ways left his wife, Alice, somewhat cold, because she fell for the amorous attentions of the Welsh Prince Gruffudd the Fair of Brithdir. Gilbert “the Red” de Clare, a kinsman of William the Conqueror, built the fortress despite the best efforts of his Welsh enemies. Caerphilly Castle, surrounded by a series of moats and watery islands, is the country’s largest, its mammoth walls, ramparts and towers a breathtaking marathon to explore. WALES BOASTS 641 castles, more per square mile than any other country, and a sure sign of a turbulent past. If you happen past Caerphilly Castle on a moonlit night, instead of the bright spring sunshine, you might catch a glimpse of the ghost of Alice de Clare. Today you can tour the impressive 1st-century remains of the Roman fortress and baths of Isca (as Caerleon was called) and ponder the claim that the impressive amphitheatre later served as Arthur’s Round Table meeting chamber. Our legendary trail could lead all around Wales: to the hill fort and ruins of Castell Dinas Brân, Llangollen, where the Holy Grail is reputedly buried to the mountains of Snowdonia where the “once and future King” slew a giant, was mortally wounded and now slumbers.Ībove all, do visit Caerleon near Newport, where 12th-century writer Geoffrey of Monmouth sited Arthur’s court. He is everywhere and nowhere, but the Welsh at least can claim his stories were first written in Brythonic-the language from which Welsh descends-and he features strongly in the ancient tales collected into the Mabinogion. More legends spin around King Arthur than any other hero, based on a quasi-historical British warlord-or a composite of such figures- who fought against the invading Saxons in the 5th and 6th centuries. Look out for the following epic highlights. This was the perfect time to explore the castles, mountains, winding roads, and valleys where so many tales of princes, heroes, villains, and saints live on. ![]() Because sometimes, your trip ends before the in-flight movie does, and you really don’t want to ask the pilot to circle the airport just so you can catch the finale.In 2017, Wales declared it the Year of Legends.Because sometimes, you fall asleep watching a mediocre rental, and would rather return it on time than pay two more bucks just to see the end. ![]() Because sometimes, your TiVo timer didn’t get it quite right, and cut off the crucial final minutes of something that won’t get shown again for six months.Because sometimes, you’re not interested in seeing that movie everyone’s talking about but are dying to know what the hubbub is about anyway.Because sometimes, you vaguely remember an old movie that had some sort of plot twist at the end of it, but can’t remember what it was.Because sometimes, the surprise “spoiler” ending is the only reason you’d pay $11 to see what is otherwise a turkey of a film. ![]() # Set VM Name, Switch Name, and Installation Media Path.

And you'll probably end up playing around with each format tweaking the settings to find something that looks ok. alot of PowerVR chips will support the better looking PVRTC2 some will only support the lower quality PVRTC though). You might wind up with even more if you want to support subformats (eg. Thirdly, you have to support S3 (aka DXTn - I think this is what you meant by DDS(?!)) for desktops, PVRTC for iOS and a fraction of Android users (PowerVR chips only), Ericsson compression (ETC) and Android Texture Compression for the remainder and providing uncompressed/regular image fallbacks for Canvas and WebGL users where the browser doesn't provide the extensions required even if the hardware might support it. Even zipped/gzipped you wind up with files much bigger than the PNG files for the images despite the end result looking comparable (in terms of artifacts) to a JPEG with even more higher compression that'd be smaller again. Secondly, as it's not practical to do compression to these formats "on the fly" you end up with a with significantly bigger files to download - you don't even get the quarter of the size of the base image I mentioned before as the files need to include compressed versions of all the mip levels (which for uncompressed textures can be generated automatically). Hi Ivan - I notice you've been recommending texture compression a few times now and I'm not sure it makes sense for the kinds of uses you seem to be suggesting it for.įirstly, while your textures might take up a quarter of their uncompressed size in "video memory" - HTML5 games typically don't have hundreds or even tens of megabytes of uncompressed texture data to really benefit from this kind of optimisation. Use it only when you prepare different resolutions and in the loader, then it will work automagical The point is - you dont have to use "resolution" variable inside the game. one or multiple image files containing textures referenced by the.

![]() The high-end specification stretches to the storage as well. ![]() Obviously when you fire up a demanding game the fans spin up, but even then the Aurora 7500 isn’t that noisy. Alienware has also stuck sound insulation cladding to the inside of the case. Non of the fans spin particularly fast so they don’t make a huge amount of noise. There’s a 60mm fan in the side panel pulling in cool air, while a large 120mm rear fan pumps the hot air out again. Alienware has fitted a heatpipe Thermaltake CPU cooler to the FX-60, which is pretty quiet in operation. Talking of noise, it amazed me how quiet the Aurora 7500 is. The twin x16 PCI Express slots in the motherboard create the perfect home for the two 512MB 7800GTX cards, and the large heatpipe coolers on the cards keep noise down despite the performance they provide. The 512MB GeForce 7800GTX is a lightning fast graphics solution, but when you put two of them together you’ve got a truly awesome gaming platform. That said, considering the rest of the spec and the price of this machine I would have liked to have seen four 1GB modules in place, although you can always spec more memory at purchase if you think you’ll need it.Ĭomplementing the cutting edge CPU are a couple of white hot graphics cards courtesy of nVidia. We’re definitely getting to the stage where 2GB is necessary for a high-end gaming system – titles like Battlefield 2 need as much memory as possible, even if you have a high-end CPU and graphics card. That said, there will probably be a BIOS update soon to resolve this problem and it’s not like the Aurora 7500 is slow as it is.Īll four DIMM sockets on the motherboard are occupied – there are four 512MB modules for a total memory complement of 2GB. One of the big selling points of the FX series is that they’re unlocked, allowing the end user the option of overclocking. In most cases this wouldn’t be a problem, but considering there’s an FX chip in this machine, it’s a bit of a shame. If there’s one downside to the Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe it’s that the BIOS won’t let you change the CPU multiplier. The list of games with native X-Fi support is growing, with A-list titles like Battlefield 2 and F.E.A.R. ![]() It’s definitely good to see an X-Fi card in a gaming system, allowing the user to take advantage of the latest environmental audio effects. There’s integrated 7.1-channel sound complete with optical digital output, but Alienware hasn’t made use of this, instead fitting a Creative X-Fi soundcard. The Asus motherboard is stacked to the gills with features, including an external SATA port for high-speed external storage. The chipset is cooled passively thanks to some good looking heatpipe equipped coolers – this helps keep overall system noise down to a minimum. This is a great motherboard and one that we liked when it was reviewed back in November. The chip is sitting in an Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe motherboard, complete with twin x16 PCI Express slots. Our own review of the FX-60 shows it to be a welcome successor to the FX-57, which although clocked faster, was only a single core chip.Īlienware has made sure that the FX-60 has been surrounded by equally high-end components. So, what you have is two unlocked Athlon 64 cores running at 2.6GHz – a pretty formidable power source by anyone’s standards. ![]() The FX-60 is, to all intents and purposes, two FX-55 chips in one package. It comes as no surprise that I’m reviewing this machine today, because at about 5am this morning AMD launched the Athlon 64 FX-60 – the fastest chip in its lineup – and that’s exactly what’s sitting inside the Aurora 7500. Anyone who knows Alienware will be aware that it has built its reputation on creating fast, beautifully built and downright desirable computers, and the Aurora 7500 continues that tradition. I’ve seen some pretty fast PCs pass through the TrustedReviews lab, but this system from Alienware is, without a doubt, the fastest machine ever to grace the pages of this publication. ![]() During your stay, you may want to plan time for horseback riding, touring the state park via scenic train ride, and visiting the Forest Heritage Center. ![]() You will find the tent camping grounds on the northwest side of Lower Mountain Fork River.

![]() In addition to all the fixin’s you see above, I love serving this Mexican chicken soup with a dollop (or three) of fat free Greek yogurt. To make your own, slice the tortillas into thin strips, spray with a tiny bit of cooking spray, place on baking sheet, and bake for about 15 minutes at 400✯. I made baked tortilla strips using the same extra thin corn tortillas I used for my air fryer chicken taquitos, beef and cheese baked tacos, copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas, and a beaucoup of other recipes. Serve with tortilla strips or chips, cilantro, cheese, and lime wedges. Add the shredded chicken thighs back to the soup.Īnd that’s a wrap-you’re done! If you’re not serving or storing right away, be sure to set your pressure cooker to its keep warm function so you don’t continue cooking your Mexican chicken soup. A pair of meat claws, stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or even a hand mixer all make shredding a bit easier. Chicken breast, on the other hand, can be a bit more labor intensive to shred. Like I mentioned in my chili coconut pulled chicken thighs, forks get the job done just fine when it comes to thighs. If you’re using chicken breasts, you might invest in a wireless meat thermometer like I used in my Traeger pot roast to set an alarm for the perfect internal temperature. With chicken thighs you have a lot of wiggle room. ![]() My slow cooker chicken stew cooks 2.5 pounds of chicken for 5-6 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high, for comparison. Can I make this Mexican chicken soup in a crockpot? One other note I’ll mention here is that if you give your Mexican chicken soup a stir and decide you’d like it a bit thicker, you can use your pressure cooker’s sauté function to reduce the soup a bit more while you shred the chicken in a separate bowl. You want your chicken thighs to reach an internal temperature of at least 165✯. I always use a food thermometer to double check cooked proteins. You can swap it out 1:1 for extra chicken stock, or I’ve seen several people mention a non-alcoholic cerveza from Athletic Brewing.Īnd finally, if you have ingredients like the fire roasted corn and tomatoes from my stuffed pepper soup, those are always great substitutes for regular canned corn. That is, unless we’re talking tipsy on flavor. So don’t worry about getting tipsy on this Mexican chicken soup. The beer is there for flavor, and the alcohol will cook off. To keep this soup as simple as possible, onion powder takes the place of dicing and sautéing an onion or two at the beginning of cooking.įor a shortcut, you may look at something like the ranch seasoning in my slow cooker creamy chicken taco soup.Ī common question from my shredded chicken recipe was about the cerveza. ![]() The seasoning blend for this Mexican chicken soup is the same I used for my Mexican shredded chicken thighs and Mexican potatoes with one exception-onion powder. And the nutrition facts aren’t hindered all that much by using thighs instead of breasts. The extra fat content provides flavor and keeps the chicken super tender. You can nearly always swap chicken thighs for chicken breast, but I’d encourage you to go with chicken thighs if possible. Add chicken thighs, stewed tomatoes, black beans, corn, cerveza, chicken stock, and a Mexican seasoning blend to a pressure cooker. If you’re feeling adherent, feel free to skip down to the full recipe card at the bottom of the post. I’ll go through all the ingredients and potential modifications in the post below. You should be able to have it prepped and cooking in about 5 minutes. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualified sales.
