.a TOM:
.A Hi. Thanks for looking at my program. I'm proud
of the way AVScripter has made life easier for so many of my fellow writers.
I'm especially proud of this...
.v TOM turns and picks up pyramid-shaped trophy from his desk.
He holds it up to camera.
.a It's the 1992 International Television Association Technical
Support Award. The ITVA gave it to AVScripter for "significantly
improving production quality and contributing to overall production value."
.v He sets award down.
.a So why did they choose AVScripter?
.v He turns to computer, and presses a key.
.A The answer is right here.
.v# TOM'S OFFICE - COMPUTER AREA
.v CLOSEUP - Computer screen. The previously blank screen
fills up with the text of this file.
.a TOM (VOICE-OVER):
.a Look at that screen. There's a lot of information on it.
A lot more information than you'd see if it were in two separate columns.
Full-screen text is easier to write, easier to rewrite, and easier to manipulate.
Block moves are simple when you don't have to worry about keeping your
columns aligned or renumbering your scenes or adjusting your page breaks.

.V MEDIUM SHOT - TOM and computer. He gestures to screen.
.a TOM:
.A With just a couple keystrokes, I can print out that same
script in a wide variety of formats, samples of which are included in this
package. AVScripter does all the work, and it prints out on _any_ printer...

.v# TOM'S OFFICE - PRINTER AREA
.v CLOSEUP - Printer with two-column script being printed.
.a SFX printer UP.
.v As printing stops, CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal TOM entering
frame and removing paper from printer. He turns to the camera.
.a TOM:
.A I designed AVScripter to work with any printer. This means
no special installation, no dip-switch flipping, no hassles. You
should be able to get all of AVScripter's features, even _underlining_,
with any printer.
