Somewhere in the depths of my mind, there's a burning desire to one day write a screenplay. It probably has as much to do with my disbelief at some of the crap that actually gets made into Hollywood movies as my own creative desire, but it is what it is.
So when I woke up this morning and checked on Adobe Labs, my curiosity was piqued by Story, a new web-based script authoring app that is now available to test on Adobe Labs.
Obviously Story isn't for everyone. I can, however, easily see this become a terrific compliment for animation studios who use Adobe products like Flash to produce their cartoons. Since it's web based, Story provides anywhere (with net access)/any time access to your writing tools and documents - critical, because you never know when a flash of brilliance will strike.
Story is tailored to the script-writing process, making it easy to hack together character bios, drop links to web pages you want to reference, and, of course, compose your masterpiece. There's even a full screen option for distraction-free writing.
Aspiring creatives, give Story a try and tell us what you think in the comments! Story recommends IE6 or later, Firefox 2.0+, and Safari 3.x. Other browsers will receive a warning message, but you can click through and try your luck -- Chrome 4 worked just fine for me.
