Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA#

It's like you're always stuck in second gear#

Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you, like I've been there before

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too

LiveScripts - Editorial

Montse me comentaba a propósito del numero anterior de la revista que sus hijos querían venirse a la clase con ella para ver Sinbad porque es una de sus peliculas preferidas; es alentador. Gracias también a todos por el interés que os habéis tomado a la hora de valorar la actividad, así como por vuestras ideas para mejorar el formato de esta publicación. Si hay algo que he aprendido de la experiencia ha sido que cada estudiante tiene una manera propia de estudiar y aprender.

Preparar esta nueva edición, es decir, pulir los diálogos que Joan extrajo del DVD, escribir cada sección, seleccionar imágenes y publicidad, pasar los archivos a Sergio e introducir sus correcciones y sugerencias, convenceros para sacaros fotos y que salgáis en la revista, etc, ha sido una gran satisfacción. Esta vez, he seguido el consejo de Carmen, Amanda, Ceci, etc. de encabezar cada linea con el nombre del personaje correspondiente para facilitar el seguimiento de los diálogos. También considere la sugerencia de Milagros de identificar la imagen de cada personaje con su nombre respectivo. Bien, este guion esta especialmente aconsejado para estudiantes de nivel intermedio o superior, sin embargo, la brevedad del episodio y el hecho de estar dividido en pequeñas secuencias puede hacerlo también atractivo para principiantes.

Otra impresión personal que tuve de la experiencia es el hecho de que, en general, los estudiantes parecían infravalorar el potencial de aprendizaje lingüístico derivado de los simples diálogos de una película cuando, en cierta forma, un guion es mas real que un libro de texto. Es decir, a no ser que se viva inmerso en el pais de habla extranjera, la lectura tranquila de un guion -y la proyección correspondiente- es el único recurso de que puede disponer un estudiante para ser plenamente consciente de la frecuencia real de uso de frases condicionales, comparativas, superlativas, etc... o de expresiones como 'stuff', 'what the hell/heck', 'have a major crash on', asi como frases idiomáticas con 'get' y 'I wish', etc...

Por eso, desde estas ultimas lineas quisiera reivindicar el carácter lúdico y a la vez rigurosamente efectivo de esta iniciativa única en el mundo mundial como vosotros. Gracias otra vez.

LiveScripts - Propuesta a Centros Educativos, Civicos, Bibliotecas, etc...

Apreciad@s amig@s,

Es muy posible que esteis preparando los cursos de verano y, en este sentido, os queriamos proponer una actividad ludica y especial que sirviera tambien para cohesionar el grupo-clase y como experiencia para el proximo curso escolar 2008-2009.

1. Sugerimos a vuestros alumnos que lean el primer capitulo de Friends: The One Where it All Began en livescripts.blogspot.com, que realicen las actividades indicadas y despues vean el episodio en version original.

2. Por otro lado, si estais pensando en proyectar una pelicula en version original a vuestros alumnos, os podemos proporcionar una revista con la transcripcion correspondiente y traducida asi como personalizada con vuestra informacion o publicidad que nos envieis y con las condiciones y precios que acordemos.

3. Igualmente, si quereis ofertar un monografico dedicado al cine que incluya un numero determinado de peliculas, tambien os podemos proporcionar las transcripciones de estas peliculas, asi como actividades relacionadas, y la personalizacion de la publicacion que os convenga, fotografias del director, coordinadores, estudiantes, del centro, etc... por ejemplo.

4. Por otro lado, si quereis colaborar con nuestra asociacion, podeis ofertar a vuestros alumnos un monografico sobre PageMaker o cualquier otro editor de revistas, confeccionar una edicion de nuestra publicacion con los dialogos de una pelicula y las caracteristicas que acordemos. Nos la enviareis y la guardaremos en nuestra base de datos. De publicarse, recibireis un porcentaje
de las ventas. El mismo que, segun nuestros estatutos, reservamos a los guionistas originales.

Mantendremos estas condiciones mientras nos sea posible aunque tambien estamos trabajando con algunas distribuidoras para acordar la publicacion simultanea de la revista con el estreno en DVD de la pelicula de manera que podamos incrementar la tirada y reducir gastos de impresion considerablemente.

Nada mas recordaros que a finales de marzo pasado, recibimos carta certificada del Departamento de Justicia de la Generalitat de Catalunya pronunciandose sobre nuestros estatutos y solo puntualizo pequeñas correcciones formales que ya se han corregido y registrado.

Por tanto, efectivamente, disponemos de un marco legal para estas actividades.
Saludos cordiales,
Domenec Mendez

LiveScripts, Foreword

Very often countries which do not dub foreign language movies like Holand, Denmark or even Greece do have a higher level of foreign language command than other countries like Italy, France, Spain, dubbing those same movies.

Of course there should be many other reasons for that circumstance but we will all agree that having Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie as speach models could be a tough foreign language resource to beat up.

Considering that, I have been using movie scripts in my foreign language class for the last 10 years with great success. On these regards,

LiveScripts is now a legally and recently constituted non-profit organization whosemain objective is to provide students with movie transcripts in a papermagazine as a reading guide andforeign-language teaching or self-learning resource previous towatching the film in original version and without distractingsubtitles. We are protected by the only exception to the exclusivity of copyrights ownership, that is, research and education.

1. We can edit a pack of magazine and DVD of those movies which now belong to public domain.
2. We can edit a paper magazine with the movie script of the next premier on DVD.
3. We can agree on the edition of a magazine with the transcripts of the same movie broadcasted on TV.

Although we are not obliged to, it is our firm commitment to collect an agreed percentage of the sales generated by the publication and offer that amount to the legal screen writer, or authors who own copyrights on the published transcripts.

It is also our firm believe that byproceeding this way, and far from causing any damage to the movie industry,

1. we can increase distributors's sales considerably byproviding them with one of the
best advertisement resources, the publication of movie transcripts,

2. we also benefit the end user by supplying them with an interesting tool totake advantage of their DVD language option; and as we said before,

3. we can also benefit authors by paying them more royalties than theymight receive from a regular company.

We do believe that exceptions to the exclusivity of copyrights must exist in the legislation ofall countries and therefore we are trying to reach a forma agreements with

the Writers Guild of America for an International LiveScripts Association, each country having some degree of autonomy but at the same time with global compromises to increase our decision power beforethird parties.

Section 107 of the Law of theUnited States of America and Related Laws Contained inTitle 17 of the United States Code.

Section 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fairuse

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such useby reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other meansspecified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment,news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroomuse), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyrights

LiveScripts, Presentacion

LiveScripts es una asociacion sin afan de lucro que entre otras actividades edita una revista de guiones de peliculas en version original como guia de lectura previa a la proyeccion de la pelicula correspondiente.

Nos amparamos en la unica excepcion sobre la exclusividad de los derechos de autor, es decir, la investigacion y la educacion.

En este sentido, en carta certificada del Departamento de Justicia de la Generalitat de Catalunya del pasado mes de marzo, nos senyalo solamente pequenyas cuestiones formales.

En definitiva, ya disponemos de un marco legal para nuestras actividades. En este sentido, sugerimos a nuestros colaboradores el siguiente marco de colaboracion mutua.

1. la emision de una peliculas en version original posterior a la edicio de la revista LiveScripts que recoja los dialogos y activitades relacionadas, una pelicula de accion, por ejemplo dirigida al gran publico.

2. soporte tecnico y financiero para editar un paquete de DVD y revista de guiones de aquellas peliculas que han pasado a dominio publico.

3. soporte tecnico y financiero para editar la revista de guiones del proximo estreno de DVD

4. soporte institucional, tecnico y financiero para negociar con The Writers Guild of America la formacion de una International LiveScripts Association.

5. Producir un documental titulado: Pasadas de Escalera - Ladder Workout, siguiendo el guion de la comunicacion que realitze en las VI Jornades d'Educacio i Esport el pasado
1 de marzo en la INEFC (1) y publicado en EDUCAWEB.COM:
http://www.educaweb.com/esp/servicios/monografico/deportes_2008/

-estamos confirmando la participacion de los jugadores del primer equipo del FCB de handball con Xavier Ocallaghan,
-miembros del cuerpo de bomberos de la generalitat de Catalunya practicaban Pasadas y podrian colaborar,

Fotografias de esta grabacion podrian servir tambien para el libro sobre el tema que esta considerando publicar editoriales especializadas.

6. Co-producir la pel.licula del guio: Snakes and Ladders

7. Soporte institucional, tecnico y financiero para la realizacion de los libros ilustrados:

- Newaza, Tecnicas de Suelo de Judo, y
- Kite Surfing - Roller Extreme, cuyos guiones se encuentra en la misma web.

8. Patrocinar a Kevin Fuentes, subcampeon de Espanya de KiteSurfing y cuarto clasificado de su especialidad durante el campeonato Broken Bones celebrado recientemente en Terrassa.

Creemos sinceramente que todos estos proyectos pueden contribuir decisivamente a dar una imagen creativa, innovadora y mas exitosa si cabe de su GRUPO a nivel internacional.

Cordialmente
Domenec Mendez,
