Thanks, guys. Here's another tip I found useful for writing fantastic description/direction/action: THE VISUAL MINDSCAPE OF THE SCREENPLAY by BILL BOYLE. Hands down the best book I've read on the subject.

Thanks for the link. I posted a comment. "Thank you for the fine article. I add a comment. Regarding “A man dressed all in white, ...", I'd say that if you do it that way, you'd better have a good reason for indicating how he is dressed and the way he is dressed should pay off later. "

Thanks Shawn for sharing this article. Real "meaty" and something we all need to consider. I'm going to go over the script I'm working on and see if I can "up" the visuals . . . certain that I will. Thanks for taking the time to send it to us.
