Script Frenzy 2010 is under way and I’ve started working on my script Concussion. I banged off 6 of the 100 pages in just over two hours. So if you figure about 3.3 pages per day to get me passed the finish line by April 30 I am already ahead of the game. Buffers are a good thing, but I won’t be happy until I’m finished. I do tend to be a fast starter though, but I am hoping I can keep this pace up — One word at a time.
I have some assistance though…
I got a new copy of Stephen King’s ‘On Writing’ in the mail today. I seem to have misplaced my last copy and have a feeling it went to charity with a few hundred other books. Also, Carol Browne left a prosperity Buddha on my desk. These things should help. As does Quiet Riot’s – Bang Your Head (Metal Health), part of the inspiration for my script:
I love watching progress bars move.
Yesterday a team of us from DOXA Documentary Film Festival headed down to Creekside Park to see day one of taping for the Colbert Show in Vancouver. We were hoping we would be able to get a camera package for our upcoming EXPOSED! Celebrity Camera Auction fundraiser to Stephen Colbert. We passed our package off to an AD and hopefully Mr. Colbert will get the package and agree to participate.
I took Carol’s camera and got a ton of great shots from my vantage point back stage and running around through the crowd snapping away.
We weren’t the only ones to show up. There are estimates that over 5000 people were in attendance and the patriots were out in force.
The place went nuts when Stephen Colbert arrived and he did not disappoint. I was especially impressed with his improv. He is more charismatic in person than I thought he would be.
Oh look, Colbert must have seen me in the crowd as he waved right at me. He was actually counting down from five, but hey, a guy can dream can’t he?
Here’s a slide show of the best shots I snagged of Stephen Colbert, his guest Michael Bublé and eTalk Canada’s Ben Mulroney, as well as a few other lucky shots from a great day.
Many thanks to Carol Browne for letting her camera out of her sight for the day and to Miss604 for posting a couple of my photos .
Showing appreciation is nice. “And that’s the word”.
