It feels good to finally catch up on my sleep- but even better to have done the 1st reading of our 3-Up scripts. With a handful of actors, we read through our scripts, last Saturday. Even though it’s still early days, the shape of the 3-Up is looking good. We’re each bringing something different to the table- it’s a like a Bollywood movie- a bit of laughter, a bit of drama, a bit of action… I guess all we need is the massive choreographed dance number…
But, yes, the predictions for the 3-Up are looking good…
While the actual dialogue in my script needs work and a LOT of editing (what was supposed to be around 20 pages, I ended up with 27 odd pages… but at this stage I reckon more is better than less), I’m happy because the foundation is there. Next step is the 2nd draft which is set for early in the New Year.
The timing is perfect, because my brain has been in overdrive while burning the midnight oil. To be honest, I sometimes wonder what goes through my head when I write some of my material during the small hours- including my last blog (it’s a sad irony that the topic was on dorkiness…). So I think it’s time to get those brain cells recharged...Bring on the holidays!
I can’t believe the Xmas holidays are here already.
And is it just me, or are the shops getting earlier and earlier trying to promote the Xmas shopping? I swear I saw decorations up back in November…
As everyone’s preparing to wind up, I guess now is a good time to review the year that’s been. What more can I say- it has been a big leap for GreyView, as we finally got the GreyView machine rolling with our first stage production. Eric, said it himself, last year- he said “2011 is going to be a big year for GreyView”. Amen to that brother.
It’s been a mammoth year personally - along with IDDC, there’s been the start of a new job, after 8 years at my first one… Milestone birthdays in the family (Sister’s 21st, Dad’s 60th, Cousin’s 1st)… The Rugby World Cup… A lot of hellos and goodbyes…
So yeah, I think time for a little R & R is due… although the plans are still up in the air- the usual road trip is pretty much on hold this year. I seem to be in the same boat as a lot of other people- money is tight, so we’re looking to keep it simple. I haven’t spent much time with the family...I know there’s a bunch of Top Gear episodes waiting to be watched with my Dad and little bro…
Of course with the year that’s been I’d also like to get out of Auckland for a bit, so hopefully I can go see my uncle in Wellington. And no, it’s not because I can skimp on accommodation charges (although my Indian heritage probably suggests otherwise…). Holidays at my uncle’s place- right back to a childhood years- has always been that perfect getaway… the sanctuary away from any troubles or worries. Days filled with junk food, movies, music, Monopoly, and anything else besides work… My uncle is big on movies like myself, and while we tend to differ on preferences for movies (He’s more ‘Rialto’), I think he’s played a part in developing my interest in movies.
So yeah, I am looking forward to the holiday season- but I’m not signing off for the year just yet… still another week to go at work- as I imagine a lot of people have as well. So hang in there people- not long to go now.
