| Zoetrope Studios | |
| This is a virtual studio created by Francis Ford Coppola. Terrific resource for screenwriters. You can post your screenplay to the site and you will get feedback from other writers on the forum as well as readers at Zoetrope. If your screenplay gets flagged with great scores, it'll spark interest at American Zoetrope. There is no charge, but before you can get read, you have to read and review 3 other screenplays. For every 3 that you review, you can post another screenplay. This is feedback is absolutely essential to becoming a good screenwriter. You just can't depend on your friends or yourself to give you constructive criticism (especially because a budding screenwriter in Washington probably doesn't have friends who are screenwriters). |

| Rotoscoping Guide | |
| A pretty decent history of and guide to rotoscoping (the art of cutting a sequence of images out of video.) It's from 2015, but again it's about the histroy of roto, not current tools. It has LOTS of video examples. | |
| Study Guides and Strategies | |
| Nope. This has nothing to do with this class exactly. It's more of a catch-all kind of site to help one be a better student. |
