Is he eating with his hand, a spoon, a fork? Is it a wooden spoon or a plastic one? Does he eating from a plate or is it from a delivery packet? Does any of this have to be in a certain color scheme? You might read a line in the script that runs something like, he eats the rice. Celtx’s old free desktop software can help you organise everything your film needs, from scriptwriting till the day you wrap the shoot. You do not have the luxury of coming to set, finding out that you need certain pro and rush to a store. If a scene scheduled for tomorrow needs a certain property then you have to have it ready the previous day itself. Especially when you are working within a limited budget, you have a very low margin of error. Even if you just making one with your friends in your backyard, it still needs a lot of things to come together to put your vision on screen. Even though all updates on it stopped in 2013 and Apple’s 2019 Catalina update made it no longer usable on Macs, it is still one of the best free softwares out there for planning your film.
I’m not talking about the ridiculously priced cloud version, but the old, free desktop client.
If there is one piece of software that I have used over and over in my filmmaking career so far, it is Celtx. It was written from the experience of making my debut feature film on an iPhone for ₹5 lakhs ($7,000). This is an excerpt from my book The Indian Indie Film (or Make Your Film for rest of the world).
