Part XXV: Tik Tok

No, I'm not talking about the song by Ke$ha. I'm talking about just over a month left and still zero movies made. Today was a milestone though, I started editing my first film. Granted it was just cutting up the interviews, a pretty simple task, but it felt great to get Adobe Premiere open and import some clips.
Another big task done today was getting a second script banged out. Not just a second version of the same script, but a whole new script. The kayak trip mayhem totally threw off my entire film and so now I'm kind of back at square one. So today was a big one. In television class at Concordia, scripts seemed kind of easy. Write your lead, throw in some quotes, have a catchy sign off and your done.

This is not news.

This requires a lot more work. I'm trying to blend two stories, keep the storyteller feel, give the info and not be too obvious and direct. Wow. So I drafted a new script and then some. I started on my second movie script. It's really really rough right now, but I hate sitting in front of a blank document. The minute I actually have something down it feels much better and I start to build.

So that is what I did today. No shooting because it is crazy foggy out. Seriously, like hit a pedestrian that's two feet in front of me foggy. Tomorrow is another big day. Shooting early in the morning, work all day then drive to Montreal after work. Phew, I feel tired alright.

Since I didn't take any photos today because my battery charger is in the bowels of my messy room. So here is a picture taken from another day: Kelly with boats in Tadoussac harbour.
