Writing Your Script On An iPad

I’ve covered writing a screenplay on the iPhone not once but twice. And, frankly, neither experience was satisfying – mostly due to the iPhone’s small screen size and the apps lack of maturity.

But the iPad has a much larger screen plus the applications to attempt a decent word processing experience. And my old friend Biaggio from Joke Productions found a clever way to write scripts with his iPad and Pages. Check out the YouTube video that was featured across the net a few days ago.

It’s not ideal – like most screenwriters, I’m used to Final Draft’s tab-based workflow – but it’s a great patch until FD releases their already-announced iPad app. I’m also keeping my eye on Script Pro – which shows a lot of promise as a simple app. Watch for a review in the near future.
