Email from Ryan Anderson from Canada AM.
The day started with completing the gathering of the materials for the six signs that we need. I got on the bike and headed over to Dartmouth NS. The vinyl was being done at FXViynl. The owner there gave us a good price to cut what we needed. The day is sunny for a change. I have a hard time getting used to paying tolls. As I crossed the bridge into Dartmouth and paid the toll to go over and after picking up all of the materials for the signs, and then paid to get back over less than an hour latter. Something is not right about having to go to another city that you can see to do business and have to pay a toll. Oh well thats the reality no the east coast.
I made six nice signs for the fund raiser at the legion on Saturday. I made the signs up out front of the legion on a table that I set up on this sunny day.
After finishing up the signs, I got to work going though my footage to find something that CTV can use for there segment on our charity. I had an appointment set up by Ryan in Toronto to go into the editing room this afternoon. So I started reviewing all the tapes. It dawned on me as I was going though the tapes I thought to myself, boy, I thought I would have more footage.
I have been interviewing many veterans and it seems like I should have more. But I guess all filmmakers feel the same way. Anyway I got a few clips together and headed over to the CTV broadcast centre in Halifax. I met with the editor and we decided, after about a half an hour, that I would come back at 9:30pm and we could take a little more time to pick the clips we would use for the show on Monday morning and for the Live at 5 news broadcasts. I went back to the CTV office at 9:30 and I had cued up the tapes of our vets to be transfered quickly. We were done in no time and I went back to the Blue Bomber for an early night.
