Save The Cat! Tribute Video: ET

We had alot of fun putting the ET tribute video together. Not only is ET one of my favorite films of all time, Spielberg & Mathison's timeless tale lines up flawlessly with Blake Snyder's beat sheet. If your a fellow "Cat!" (meaning you have read the Save The Cat! book), you will feel right at home watching the Beat Sheet play out in this classic 80′s film. If your an aspiring Cat! or just curious about the screenwriting & filmmaking process in general, this is an easy and digestable way to see how a great commercial movie works in terms of "story beats".

@KutWrite I don't know about Riggins, but if you never read the CATS books, it's a MUST! I just found out this year.

But besides the structure Blake had an incredible way of reaching into a writers heart and letting you know that he knows and understands you.

His good humor and bright way of encouraging us while reading our minds and responding... even bad news, giving us hard truths came easier with him drawing a laugh out of us. You can't know till you read it.

Thanks so much, I'm writing a buddy love story like E.T and this was exactly what I needed! :)

I'm new to Snyder.

It seems simillar to Larry Riggins' outline.
