Einhorn's Epic Productions

On this day, I brought in new notes on my pitch, and showed them to Laura. She said it's an improvement, but it still needs work. The pieces are being put together, but it's far from finished. The rest of the day was more research on Adam's second project. We all knew this was my second to last day at EEP, so before I left, Adam and Laura told me that next time will consist of a debriefing of all my research, my pitch to them and Heather, and how I learned and grew throughout the summer.

Today, I started research on another project for Adam. Again, I'm not aloud to say what the project is about, but I will say I used the same books provided for me, and the Internet, for assistance. There's nothing to update on about my pitch because I just received Laura's feedback yesterday. I didn't have time to start fixing it yet at home. Other than the new research, I didn't do much else today.

For unknown reasons, Laura told me to take last week off (the week of July 30th). During this hiatus, I made good use of my time by developing my pitch. I put together the general storyline and its themes in Microsoft Word. Moreover, I designed the characters, the title, and its logo in Photoshop. While composing all this, I frequently looked back to Heather's pitching notes that I took earlier this summer. After that, I put everything together in Microsoft Powerpoint. However, because this isn't the final product, I didn't give each character a biography yet. I'm not going to describe the plot, characters, or themes of my pitch because it won't transcend if it is explained in text. There is no better way to describe a plot than through verbal and visual aid. Compared to text or not, that's how you win over the audience (I also don't want anyone who reads my blog to steal my idea). However, I can type up the longline, which gives plenty of insight on the p...

Today was just more research. Adam and Heather are still away.

Today was my first day of research. As I mentioned several times before, I am not allowed to mention anything about the content because I signed a contract that forbids discussing anything created at Einhorn's Epic Productions. Unless I bring in a draft of my pitch, all of my blog posts from this point forward will be a very short update on my research.

Today was a very eventful day. First, I read and did coverage for draft two of the season finale for EEP's podcast. I didn't know it at the time, but this was the last coverage I'll do for the rest of my internship. After this, Adam gave me two books to skim through, New York: Then and Now by Marcia Reiss and Evan Joseph, and New York City: A Short History by George J. Lankevich. The former was a picture book, and the latter was a novel. While I was skimming through the second book, Adam called Laura and I into a private room. He scheduled a conference call with Shawn Kiddleton specifically for me, as Adam wants me to help him as a writer's assistant. Shawn explained how he spun his experience from a Rushkoff assistant to a writing career. His expectations were nowhere near what he thought was going to happen. He graduated from NYU with a Bachelor in Playwriting, and got a job at HBO in the legal department. However, what he really wanted to do was write comic...
