Thanks Jarrod!

In regards to Red Dog, as far as I understand it, it took eight years from the initial idea to completion, and most of that was script writing and sourcing funding.

Thanks Chris, very insightful. I think SPAA would be very pleased they picked you to attend this session! Interesting point about Red Dog taking 8 years to be made, was it in pre-production for most of this time?

Unfortunately I don’t know of any similar solution for Pages. If you find one – please let me know!

Best Regards, Chris!

Hi thanks for the post it helps explain it a lot better than the website.

A question though… does anyone have a macro or port of this for Mac Pages ? I really do not want to go back to working in excel! Thanks for any updates and answers to my question.

We are also using Microsoft Excel 2008 on a Mac running 10.6.8 – so that shouldn’t be an issue.

If you followed the instructions exactly – then it should just work.

Try exiting Excel, then starting again. Make sure at Step 5 that you select ALL the cells you want to be used for timecode values.

Also, try downloading my example. It probably won’t actually work (as for some strange reason Excel won’t import the XLA script properly on sheets you don’t create yourself) – but you can use it to check that the syntax is the same.

Good luck!

I’m losing my mind. I’m doing EVERYTHING you have written here – the exact order you have it written, I’m using EXCEL 2008 on OS 10.6 and it WILL NOT work…. It recognizes the functions(they list when I type in an equals sign), I’m pressing Comm Opt T, I see the website at the bottom … NOTHING?!
Am I retarded? I took computer programming in Engineering. I can’t be THAT stupid! What am I missing?

The Script Machine will be competing in the International Competition in New Mexico next March. If it gets into the top ten, then it will go to Cannes which is pretty exciting.

Unfortunately we cannot publicly release the film until after these competitions.
