Contour Command Central
I’m taking a LOT of grief over my mobile cart. Maybe it’s the rabbit ears antenna array I use to get the video feed from the cameras (kinda visible in the photo to the right of my laptop.) Or maybe I’m just a geek.
Contour At The Movies
What we’re watching and how it measures up in Contour
**WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!**
This blog looks at films -- current and past, in the theatres and on DVD -- and analyzes how they measure up to the Four Questions and Four Archetypes; two components of Mariner Software's new story structure program CONTOUR. Invariably, in each analysis there will be SPOILERS.
If I may suggest...please see the movie first and then read the analysis on this blog. Or don't. But don't say I didn't warn you!

After taking a close look at your mobile cart I had to laugh. I am not surprised you have been forced to work with the Mickey Moused contraption. There are options though. We have developed a mobile cart that can turn laughs into awe inspired gasps of delight. Our BigFoot Mobile Cart is not only functional but is attractive, light weight, ergonomic and it is something you would be proud to use. We can pre-engineer all your components and have it delivered to your door. When your ready to stop the jeering let me know.
You’re assuming I don’t like the attention! Thanks for the response…I’ll check you guys out!
