Writing scripts and planning films, videos, or plays is such a crazy task, and staying organized through the writing process is even crazier. Celtx is an application that manages your new media writing without even opening your wallet!..." (more)

Celtx Bloggity Bloggers

After the online diary was introduced to the Net about 16 years ago, it's clear now that what has evolved into 'blogging' has become a quick and popular way for the world to communicate. People simply love to blog, keeping an ongoing account of whatever it is that turns them on... or off, and everything in between.

News of Celtx travels fast in the bloggersphere, too. I receive Google Alerts regularly on who's writing what about Celtx. The 'who' appears to be people of all ages from all walks of life, and the 'what' so far, has been extremely positive. And that makes us really happy, so we decided to post that good news here on the new Celtx Blog and share what others are saying from around the globe. Below are a number of mentions to get things started and I'll be adding them as we go.

In the meantime, keep on blogging people... and help spread the Celtx word!

Cheers!

Portable Apps / Portable Celtx
Over the past year members of the Celtx user community have volunteered their time to make Portable Celtx a reality. Our devs had little if anything to do with it.
Thanks to these volunteer efforts, you can now upload your Celtx program to any USB flash drive, and download to any operating system. And you have your choice of doing that in English, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brasil) or German!

There's a discussion thread related to this over at Portable Apps . It's where we learned that Jacob Koehler took it upon himself to gussy things up with cool graphics and is encouraging further localization of Portable Celtx.

A Million Monkeys Review

Doug Johnson reviews Celtx on his Blog...

Anyone who has worked in video/film or larger multimedia projects knows that the tasks of scriptwriting and pre-production are not as easy as they first appear. Now, it’s not just the rigid structure of the script itself which is the only issue — if it were, the simple macros for Word, OpenOffice.org Writer and other word processors would suffice — but it’s also the need to track characters, share the script with others, write production notes, do breakdowns of scenes, characters, props, CGI, special effects, locations, and so on.

Ceridwen Productions Builds Production Team via Celtx

Sometimes the right tool comes along just at the right time to make something happen. In the case of Ceridwen Productions, that tool was Celtx. Over the course of several years of producing live theatrical works we had assembled a very talented team of writers. Given that our live productions were often spread out over a wide geographical area in the northeast United States, our writers sent in their works from several hundred miles from the home office.
