Looking To The Future

So, this is it. We deliver the final cut of the film on Thursday. It's all over.

Not quite...

As it stands right now, all of my shots are in place and so are Jim's. I think I would like to tweak one of mine (the second shot of the film - the flashing red light doesn't really flash enough for my taste). Also, some of the hallway scenes seem to be a bit dark. That's easy to fix, but I'm not sure it really needs fixing. We'll review that in class today to make a final determination. Lastly, I need to tweak the audio. That will be the absolutely last thing I will do, not because I hate audio, but because I want everything else in place to make sure it works first. Which brings me to one last thing that's worrying me.

Adam's seven missing scenes.

Adam has not been very communicative during this entire process, and I know he called in sick for his class yesterday (that's were we usually exchange files and get updates on what is or is not going on). I sent out an email to Adam and to Jim last night indicating that we are down to the wire, and nearly complete except for these scenes. I also made it clear that Jim and I are more than willing to step in and help finish things up in any way we can. I know what it's like to get sick at the end of a big project - it's very stress inducing and just makes you even sicker. We'll see what goes on today.

Aside from that, we're in good shape.

Now we can start to think about little things, like a poster for the film and to which film festivals we will submit it. Also, I can really start to dig into work on my Senior Capstone project which has it's own worries and concerns (for example: am I making the right film? I may just go back to working on the art film I had originally intended as "The Hero's Journey" may not be funny enough to work). But that's the future. Who knows what it will bring.

That's all for now. Don't tune in at the same bat time and the same bat channel next week, because I won't be here. Cue the national anthem, and bring up the test pattern. This channel is finally going off the air.

Until the next film. Good night and good luck!
