Post 11 AKA Resentful Reunion of Thought

Things are back on schedule.
I'm still bitter.

Not with people. With blog. Always with blog.
Gotta fill it in, but don't have enough to say to make it interesting.

Just working on other projects while things have slowed down, but nothing worth ranting about.



Wow. This is dull.
Look at the spacing though. Short sentences, baby.
Pow! Now I'm over here.
Watch out for this guy.

Also, my old stockpile of comics was recovered. Aesthetic refreshment and inspiration by the bucket-load, but none relevant enough for the project. If only, if only.

Post 10 AKA Decablog of Crushing Obscurity

So it's been 10 blogs.
Joy upon joy upon joy.

No time for celebration, things are being done.
Work things. Home things. Things that aren't really things but still need to be done.

I'd write all about the with the film's happenings but honestly I don't find this Blog is the right format.
I wouldn't go into detail about my personal film making process, updating pictures and discussing any troubles or issues. So why would I for a team project?
I understand the whole keeping track of progress for the grading, but I'd rather not share it with the world.
Not that it's too much of an issue with my outstanding page view count, some days I might even be lucky to get as many viewings as 1!

So I will update my blog, sound in the knowledge it is a lost cause.
But I will nurture it on like a sick horse until it finishes it's race.
But I still might will get bitter about it like this.


P.S
I suppose I can briefly skim over some events though...
I'm contacting someone regarding sound and am scheduling.

Post 9 AKA Butterfly Full of Stomachs

Ya know this project I'm writing about?
Yeah, the one called 'Bones of Essimer'?
We've started filming it.
Kill me now.

As an Assistant Director I've been managing crew on set, sorting some of the scheduling and paperwork to keep the wheels turning. I'm fairly new at this position, as I'm usually Soundie, and it's a weird shift in work: from the quiet standby of a soundie, to the constant loudness of an AD.
I suppose yelling at people to work faster isn't that bad a job, but you still feel like a bit of a bad guy. So I suppose it's good I have the job I have a bit of experience in being hated. Thanks High School.

We've dodged some bullets in regards to location and weather and honestly I'm absolutely chuffed to be where we are right, all things considered. We could be waaaay behind. Instead we're just slightly behind.
It's now my goal to get on track, if not ahead, with our work. A goal that I may be destined to fail. But meh, I always liked the idea of going down in a blaze of glory, so I might as well try to make this film submit to my will.

But it is now lunch time.
I feel the need for a quiet pint.
So toodle-pip and cheers!
