In which I SEE the light
Marty Perreault, the SEE Director, asked me to write an article for SEE's blog, and not being a fool I agreed. I figured I'd write about how I used to be kindof a nitpicky science accuracy Nazi when it came to movies, but then figured out (with some help) that maybe there's more to movie-making than educating people about science.
The article -- "How I Stopped Worrying (About Science) and Learned to Love the Story" -- is now online. It's relatively short, but I think you'll like it. Here's a brief excerpt:
Movie after movie came and went, and I watched each in the darkened theater, off to the side, hunched over my notepad with my pen clicked and ready, and â literally â a flexible red-filtered flashlight wrapped around my neck like a scarf to illuminate my writing in case the scene I was destroying was too dark for me to see my own words.Then, one day, I had an epiphany. Well, actually, the epiphany was forced on me...”
Head on over there and see the rest!
I'm enjoying working with SEE, and the folks in Hollywood. It's something I've always wanted to be involved in, so this really is a dream come true.
